Every time I would spend about two hours waiting for this doctor that would have one-two patients, but making long breaks between them. During each visit, he was unfriendly, not happy to answer questions. The diagnostic exams were cheap, and the recommendations did not help. When another doctor in that office would like to recommend a different treatment, dr kutzscher refused to ask her about her recommendation, probably because of his hypertrophic ego, saying that he would know better how to treat, and would not let the other doctor to take over because "that was his office!"   With the same insurance, I had much more tests, explanations and right treatments at the next door optometry, on the same floor with doctor Susan Longar.

I scheduled to see Dr. Kutzscher after suffering what seems to be an ocular migraine and wanted to confirm this. I was able to see him within the week after having the symptoms. The doctor himself had great manners, took his time to really understand my symptoms (unlike another ophthalmologist I had seen in the past who rushed me), and was also making conversation getting to know me and such. He was super friendly and professional but had to knock off a star due to wait time. My appointment was scheduled for 1:30PM and I waited until 2:20PM before he got to me. Probably because he is chatty and likes to get to know his patients...so scratch that I'm giving back the star. 5 STARS! Highly recommend!

Dr. Kutzscher is my hero.  Years ago he detected something wrong with my optic nerve.  He requested that my primary care physician send me for an MRI.  It turned out that I had a brain tumor.  It was removed and I'm doing fine.  Still kicking and still seeing thanks to Dr. Kutzcher.  I see him annually now.

My experience with Bernd Kutzscher, MD in 2019 was a nightmare. Dr. Kutzscher should have honored his Hippocratic Oath and performed an eye exam as he was paid to do, billing insurance under the doctors' name while ignorant technicians are the ones doing the work of the MD is wrong, perhaps he should retire if he is tired of performing eyes exams.The technician assessed my eyes through an array of lenses and enter her data in the computer, Dr. Kutzscher came into the room, exchange pleasantries and signed off on the RX without preforming an eye exam. The new RX had a huge change and I was concerned. I bought 2 pairs (clear/dark = $1,400) of glasses with Kutzscher's optician. It took 4 weeks to get the glasses and when I got them, I had a horrendous pain in the eye with the huge change on the RX and had a hard time reading/seeing.  I called several times to speak with Dr. Kutzscher, he finally returned my call and said my eyes needed to adjust to the new lenses and agreed to see me three weeks later. Once more the technician assessed my eyes through some lenses and asked me to read some charts which I did with lots of errors but she said it didn't matter. Dr. Kutzscher walked in the room read her notes in the computer and said to keep using the glasses until my eyes adjusted to the change, without performing an eye exam or regard for the pain that I was suffering. I asked him to change the RX, he said there is nothing wrong with the RX, but how does he know if he never performed the eye exam. He should have honored their re-do policy as offered at the time of purchase if the glasses didn't work. The office staff and the optician are very rude, perhaps they believe if they intimidate the clients, they get paid and the problem goes away.  Five months later, since the pain continued and I couldn't read or see I went back to my previous eye MD, a true gem, who stands by his work. The doctor performed a comprehensive eye exam and said the pain on my eye was due to the wrong prescription. He assessed my eyes and wrote a new RX. He said if there is any problem, he will re-do my glasses at "no cost". My new RX was a gift sent from heaven I was able to see and read without pain.
