Dr. Holek is a wonderful doctor. She has always performed a thorough eye examination.

Don't see this "doctor" for your eyesight!! She is NOT an Opthlamologist! Check with Medical Association!! She hasn't got a clue - but puts herself out there like she's God - she tries to cover her ignorance with arrogance and sarcasm - but it doesn't change the fact that she costs her patients their eye health. My mother is legally blind in 1 eye, and has cataracts in both. She refused to send her for surgery, saying the cataracts were not mature yet, when in fact, she should have had them removed about 2 years ago. Prescriptions for 8 of 9 family memebers checked so far have all been WRONG! Do yourself a favour and double check with the Medical Association and other reputable Opthamologists in the city who know she is a fraud.

A complete ****. Arrogant. I agree that she asks questions, then cuts you off when you start answering, and inserts her own incorrect answers. Doesn't listen. Has two different prices depending on whether you have coverage or not. I've been to her twice and both times ended up with unsatisfactory glasses....even after she referred me to her preferential shop (no doubt she has shares in it). Won't go again.

She is arrogant, rude and interrupts patients to tell them they are wrong. She issued a warning to the MTO saying that I could not drive without glasses, and when I went to the DMV and waited in line to take their vision test, they said I was fine to drive without glasses. Then I went back a year later, and she issued the same warning and my license is now suspended thanks to her. Now I have to go through the process all over again for nothing and possibly pay a fine. Never going back to her - she needs to have her license taken away!

this doctor should have stayed in family medicine she diagnosed me with glaucoma (when, in fact I do not have glaucoma) and was very belligerent. If she had problems that day, she should have stayed home. I was upset and she made the diagnosis seem like my fault. On subsequent appointments, she was abrupt, rude and sarcastic. I am so thankful I now have a competent doctor for my vision health. I have heard both good and bad things about this doctor (mostly bad) and I personally would not recommend her for anything to do with vision. She could use some lessons in manners as well and her staff could use some lessons in efficiency when making appointments for patients and follow-up. God bless my referral to another doctor ... now I have faith and trust that my the welfare of eyesight will be accurately taken care of.

Excellent doctor. Very kind, patient, knowledgeable. Very easy going manner and easy to talk to. Saw her for problems resulting from macular degeneration (another doctor is treating that).

What an arrogant, rude woman. This was my first appt with her. Every time she asked me a question, she would cut me off while I was answering and insert her own, incorrect answer. Her arrogance and abruptness resulted in my getting eyeglasses that are completely unsatisfactory, and I am therefore not wearing them. I was initially charged $75 for the appt, but when she found out I had a medical plan, that was upped to $100. What does that tell you?? When I went into her office, there were no other patients waiting, and she took me in immediately with no wait. Another clue.

She and her staff could learn to be more courteous to their patients.

Both my husband and I are very glad we now have her looking after our eyes. She has referred my husband to a more qualified opthamalogist for his condition as she felt it would be wise for him to get extra help. She really impressed me as a knowledgeable and caring Dr. anxious to do a thorough examination and follow up.
