I needed a last minute appointment. I left a message at about 4:15p on a Tuesday, received a call back the Wednesday morning (before 9am) and was able to get in the next day! Both Dr. Lecker and his admin were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone (and actually already have)

Report
The receptionist told me she kept trying to call me . i told her i did not receive a call from this office once. So for the heck of it i asked her what number she called she said the number you gave me, again i asked what number did you call? so finally she relayed the number back to me. Told her that is not my number you dialed the wrong number. And she insisted thats the number i gave her. This happened a few months ago. This week the arm on my glasses broke, so i went to get them fixed. She says they have to order the whole frame. She asked for my number and i told her i am not giving it to
