List of Raymond T. Pekala's Reviews
My father is 87. He has bad arthritis in his neck and back which forces him to hunch over similar to scoliosis. Dr. Pekala was testing him on the eye test machines as a precursor to laser surgery. My father was having great difficulty raising his head to the level of the machine and Dr. Pekala took my dad's head in hand from behind and forced his head into the machine repeatedly despite his vocal and visible pain. Ever since my Dad has had compounded neck pain and can't turn his head without great discomfort. He canceled the surgery and refuses to go to another eye doctor. DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. My father says he is the worst doctor he has ever seen.

It was the first time my mom had an appointment with Dr. Pekala. He treated her like a queen. He was very caring and took his time with her. She’s in a wheelchair bound and suffers from dementia. But Dr. Pekala was great with her. Thank you for taking good care of my mom. The staff was always great.

Dr. Pekala has an occasionally poor bedside manner. But he's incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. I have confidence in his care decisions as a glaucoma suspect moving forward.

Office is small with only one office manager and Pekala. Had to wait 45mins past appointment time because it seems like they double book appointments. Didn’t get the quality one on one care feeling and pekala seem to be rushing between two patient rooms. If he only slowed down and made us feel like he genuinely cared it could’ve been a better experience.

I made appt. for 8yr old boy we walk in and they lady says we don't work on children. I said I told u he was 8 she said it wasn't her I talked to...Nasty. I have never been treated like such a bother in my life all I wanted to do was get prescription for kids glasses and all I got was grief. when i left i said thanks for making me feel like a bother and she says "your welcome". Wow ignorant as it gets in there, he had no patience for kid. I left feeling angry and like a low life for coming to his office....UNPROFESSIONAL! Really bad experience

I’ve been going to Dr. Pekala for nearly 20 years. In my opinion, he’s the best in ophthalmology. I’ve had various surgeries and difficult diagnoses that he has always handled efficiently. If you’re in need of a great eye doctor, look no further!

The worst bedside manner ever! He doesn't listen and talks right over you. Not a very compassionate doctor

Horrible experience with this doctor. my daughter is 25 and autistic but high functioning We went to Dr. Pekala as he took her insurance and he actually yelled at her when she didnt understand his instructions I was floored . If you have a special needs person you care for do not take to him. In addition, my daughter's rheumatologist tried to get information about the visit and permission was given, and the doctor never returned his call . I took my daughter elsewhere
