Dr. Markowitz and staff and the experience at the CNIB were wonderful. He was knowledgeable, kind, and caring. Very pleased my mother, who has macular degeneration, was referred to him.

I recently had the honor to have an appointment with Dr. Samuel N. Markowitz. As my Endocronologist was concerned that my eyes were indicating some problems due to my thyroids and inquired with his office for a possible quick immediate review and opinion. He was on his way out of the office and rushing to catch a flight to Ottawa for a Government presentation he was giving; so I was not sure he would be able to give me an opinion if there was concern.
To my amazement, not only did the staff take the time to start a file for my information but also Dr. Samuel Markowitz took the time to meet with me and do an examination of my eyes.
I found him to be Very Knowledgeable, Caring and Humble in his demeanor.
As he is also a Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Toronto; I am grateful that many future ophthalmologists will have the opportunity to learn his techniques, gain his knowledge and express the sincere concern for patience health.
I Sincerely Thank You Very Much Dr. Markowitz for extending yourself beyond your required call of duty !
Thank you, Flora Di Menna

I have found Doctor Markowitz knowledgeable, kind, sympathetic, professional. I can't understand the negative comments about him left here. Perhaps those who are so critical might want to look at themselves.

Unbelievably rude and cynical. I took my mom for a low vision appointment, which she only does once in so many years. He only showed up at the very end of the session, never turned his head towards my my mom, who was the patient, quoted me the prices and displayed his disappointment, that we did not buy everything on the list from him.

He is a rude man who I would never recommend to anyone.

All these people who have given Dr. Samuel Markowitz a bad review are idiots. This man is knowledgable, kind, attentive and cares for his patients. There is no obligation to buy glasses in his store, you do what you want with your prescription. As for ethnic discrimination... Ridiculous the staff is kind and very helpful. Keep track of your own appointments especially when you have a serious eye condition. Professor of ophthalmology, you can't get better than that.

I am a low vision patient and need regular care. This doctor has known me since I was 16; i am now 26 ask me how many times his office reached out to me to schedule an appointment? Not even once. The staffs are not that nice as well, and I do think they might be a little discriminating towards ethnic people. Even though I am a low vision patient and need regular visits he does not care. When i do make my own appointments he just checks my eyes and gives me a prescription. Doesn’t ask how I have been, how I am dealing with this condition and whether i can do anything to help prevent my vision from getting worse. He has no emotional intelligence and is only in it for the money. Whether he is smart or not, he has no social skills and lacks in communication. I have received treatment abroad and have never felt so comfortable and treated with respect. The doctors actually cared about their patients, unlike this one. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF AND DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS MAN. He is not pleasant at all.

I completely agree with people who find bad this professional in eyes . Old, and teacher at University, we suppose he has a very good experience, , but what is important to him is his glasses store. He doesn't speak to much , he never give you an diagnostic clear, you must made an appointment to ask him questions to be clear about your problem,, he suggests for you glasses to change every year and you are obligated to buy in his store. I will never back. Stay away from this " bad professional"!!!
