My family has been going to the Teitel's (first his father and now Larry), for over 25 years. He is funny, sarcastic, chatty and not officious. I enjoy our chats during the eye exams and his suggestions for frames. I prefer to support small business owners rather than the impersonal conglomerates. The days of the single optometrist office are numbered...and while Dr. Teitel is still open, we will continue to go to him. If you are looking for a cookie cutter professional and have no sense of humour, go elsewhere...please....
