Harry Hamburger's Online Review Report Card

I found Dr. Hamburger to be very abrupt and in a hurry. He didn’t even check my vision. I had to ask to have it checked. He sent someone in to check it and there had been a change. If you read Nextdoor Neighbor you will be amazed at how many people have had bad experiences with him and won’t be returning! I certainly won’t be!

DO NOT USE DR HAMBURGER! This doctor is now in Delray Beeach not Miami. I went for a checkup because I thought I was having cataract issues. After being seen and tested by 3 different techs the doctor finally came in, sat down, and announced that it was not cataracts, that I have the beginning of macular degeneration!!! I was stunned and shocked! Looked my cataracts, said I should come back in 6 months for him to check them and that I had to see a retina doctor which his girl would set up for me., I think he was actually in the room with me for 5 minutes. NO EXPLANATION, NO "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS," NO EMPATHY, NO NOTHING!!!! How callous and cold can you be! Needless to say, I will never see him again and I will tell this to whoever I can to save them from a similar experience.

Do not go to this incompetent doctor ! His negligence caused me total blindness in my eye ! On 12-2-20 my eye was losing vision, hurting and tearing. I went to the office of Michael Levine on 12-4-20, and they gave me to a Dr. Fleischman, who diagnosed me with dry eye, never even examining my retina. He gave me lubricating eye drops and told me to come back in 2 weeks. By 12-7-20 the symptoms had gotten worse so I went back there. Now they give me to Dr. Harry Hamburger, who again does not examine my retina, and tells me I have irritation on my cornea, and tells me I need a stem cell patch on my eye for one week to help heal the irritation. That patch left me blind in the eye. He tells me I can use lubricating drops and tells me to come back in 1 week. After I put the drops in that day my eye was burning all day. By the next day I couldn't take it anymore and went back to him. He told me it must be the preservative in the drops and he took out the patch. Then he tells me that the patch helped the irritation, saying " I like what I see." He tells me to use preservative free drops, and sends me out, telling me to come back in 2 weeks. He got paid $1,340 for that useless patch. My vision was again declining. By 12-16-20, I was totally blind in that eye. When I went to another ophthalmologist, the doctor checked my retina, and told me that I had a fully detached retina, and that I needed emergency surgery. The doctor could not understand how these 2 doctors could have missed this. I was sent to a retina surgeon that day and had surgery on 12-17-20. The retina doctor was shocked to see how the other doctors never even checked my retina. I went through 10 days out of work with my head down, total blindness for a month, then I wound up with 20-60 vision with distortions. On 12-19-21 I went to regular ophthalmologist who could only correct me to 20-50 with glasses. with lifetime multiple distortions, such as Macropisia ( seeing things much smaller than normal, a permanent dilated pupil, light sensitivity, halos and starbursts at night. Because of this place, I am living on one eye for the rest of my life. It's an unsolved mystery to me how this office is so busy, with at least two of the 3 doctors that are so incompetent. These two fools let my eye go blind, thinking it was something minor, when it was the worst thing that can happen to your eye. The prime age for a retina detachment is 50 - 70 years old, and I was 61. All they had to do is ask one of their assistants to check my retina on the machine that all ophthalmologists have. It's a 5 minute test that costs them nothing. It's like an MRI for the back of the eye. Instead of finding this major problem and getting me to a retina surgeon for emergency surgery, they sent me out with some cheap eyedrops and told me to come back in two weeks. If they took the time to check my retina, this could have been fixed with a simple laser procedure in a retina doctor's office. Because of this incompetent doctor I needed a 2 hour operation and was totally blind for a month. Each doctor there came up with a different diagnosis, both wrong. Stay away from this circus of incompetent doctors ! They will leave you blind !

Excellent service and very nice office staff. Also the optical has very good prices.

Bad practice. I was going for one year to this doctor and he did not find the problem in my eyes.. all treatments that he sent my was wrong. I had to get another doctor to treat my eyes. their diagnoses were always wrong and my eyes were getting worse. I do not recomend this doctor.

Fantastic professional who takes great care of his patients. I'd highly recommend.

He is very patient and very detailed. He is also very friendly and doesn't rush through things. Even his assistant is very friendly and thorough.
