Glickstein Jerome M DVM

this man is fantastic. i took my cat to him for years. he always gave us a break on the price of medication.

Thinks a lot of himself. I was in his office which was 2 hours from my home for 12 hours. TWELVE HOURS!! I had to leave because my 2 middle school kids were at home and I would not reach home until midnight. Dr. G copped an attitude, saying I did not care about my dog. None of his treatments worked for either of my dogs. Their eyes had to be removed.

My dog has been Dr. Glickstein's patient for at least five years and this review is prompted by the last straw. For various reasons, I recently decided to try a new eye doctor and requested my dog's records from Dr. Glickstein. I received ONE PAGE from one visit - all those visits and I got ONE PAGE. That is shameful. My dog has a chronic eye problem for which he has been seen by Dr. Glickstein. Two years ago, Dr. Glickstein also suspected another condition that would blind my dog in two years. I was devastated. Dr. Glickstein recommended I get costly testing for the condition (even though there is no cure). I decided it was a pointless expense if there is no cure. The next year, Dr. Glickstein reversed his opinion on that diagnosis. I don't mind that he reversed his opinion, but I mind that Dr. Glickstein is unable or unwilling to provide my dog's medical record for such a critical diagnosis. Dr. Glickstein carries his medical records with him and lost my dog's records after his first three years of visits. Now it seems he has lost all but one year. In at least five years of visits for my dog's chronic condition, there was one prescription that Glickstein called in to ONE PHARMACY ONLY. No other treatment has ever been attempted or recommended and my dog probably hasn't enjoyed a day without discomfort in all those years. When I recently mentioned this to my dog's regular vet, he was shocked and prescribed another medication, which worked better than what Glickstein has prescribed for five straight years. He questioned why Glickstein would only use ONE pharmacy, which must ship the medicine to me, incurring even higher costs. He also seemed surprised that the medicine Glickstein prescribed was to be administered four times a day: "That's ridiculous," he said. Until recently, Glickstein was the only eye specialist in south central Pennsylvania. Now there are two others and I decided to try one of them. And when I do, she will have ONE PAGE of barely legible records after at least FIVE YEARS of care by Dr. Glickstein. This is not only shameful, it's irresponsible. And one more thing. My dog also uses an over-the-counter eye lubricant. Dr. Glickstein charges $5 to $10 more per tube than online stores. When I told him I was ordering it from online pharmacies, he gave me a rather curt lecture about the danger of counterfeit medications. It's not as if I don't spend a small fortune on my pet, but Dr. Glickstein apparently thinks mine is an unending budget. The unreasonably long wait time to see Dr. Glickstein is well documented, so I won't go there. But I'll say this: there are two other canine eye doctors in south central Pennsylvania. Make this was one your last resort.

Dr. G is the most caring vet I’ve ever seen. He frequently does not even charge for visits for quick checks. He also always looks for the best price for meds. Not sure why some say he charges more for drops. An emergency visit on a Saturday turned into a surgery that went into Sunday at a different location. Dr G is the best.

Love him. Does he run late?? Yes, but so worth waiting for. Does his eye drops cost a little more??? Yes, but he checks to make sure thet are the best. How do I know this you may ask?? Doing 6 drops a day and eye pressure is thru the roof. Got the drops from a national pharmacy. Not a good company that makes them. About the most caring Vet ever. Worth every and time spent. Thank you Dr. G!!
