What a wonderful surgeon. I had cataract surgery through the private route and I am so pleased with the results. It was a little expensive but with my busy schedule and wanting the best lens I could have not been happier with my choice. Dr. Herzig and the staff are the best!!!

Well respected doctor. He made me feel comfortable and explained everything carefully on why SMILE was the right procedure for me. His staff are also so kind and comforting. Best place.

One of the most professional and skilled ‘people’ I have ever met. I had the SMILE surgery after being recommended to see him by my family. I truly believe he has to be one of the best eye surgeons in Canada (or maybe even the North America). I did a lot of research and even asked my family doctor and optometrist and they all told me to have surgery with him. Thank you so much!!

Extremely friendly and accommodating staff throughout the entire process - very professional and excellent results!

I'm thankful for the Herzig Institute. I had the SMILE procedure and I cannot believe my results. It's truly unbelievable, I can see so well after 20 years of wearing glasses. I received great care from the staff. Dr Herzig is the SMILE genius. I would recommend him to my friends and family.

I had the SMILE procedure this afternoon and I cannot believe how amazing, kind and professional Dr. Herzig and his staff were. Here I am, less than 24 hours since surgery and I have absolutely nothing negative to say about my experience. Dr. Herzig made me feel safe and comfortable every step of the way. If you are considering corrective eye surgery do not look any further - Herzig Eye Institute is the place to go!

I was so impressed with Dr. herzig and all his staff. They were so professional and kind!

I had cataracts removed and new lenses put in and am extremely happy with my new sight and everyone at the clinic

I've had a great experience with my PRK procedure. It is a long recovery but all worth it in the end. Thank you Dr. Herzig and your team.

This doctor and team have acted negligently and were sloppy in their care. There was a complication in surgery, the doctor was ill prepared and has had terrible follow through, in fact has passed the patient along to the optometrist, who also hasn't followed properly. So much money for such a terrible job. Shame on you!
