Scheinhorn Jeannine MD

Dr. Scheinhorn is the best optometrist I ever met! She is very thorough in the exam and very gentle in her approach. Her office staff are very polite and my daughter even made friends with Helen. It’s a little gem next to La Canada, Montrose area.

Three years ago I had my cataract operation on my right eye done by Dr. Jeannine Schinehorn. I left a complimentary message for her called, «The Smooth Operator». Well I just had my left eye done with Dr. Scheinhorn yesterday, and as you can see I am already typing !
Dr. Scheinhorn has an amazingly organized and well managed practice and I was pleased to see the same quality, professional, caring & pleasant staff still working as a team at her office .
I would highly recommend Dr. Jeannine Schinehorn, The smooth Operator…

I have absolutely no complaints and would go again.

Granted her office is not on my beaten path but I went to see Dr. Scheinhorn in March as her office is located conveniently to my office and I needed an early morning appointment. Her hours were convenient for my schedule so it worked out really well. I had very little wait time, maybe 10 minutes at most, so I was able to get in and out quickly and back to work.
I was impressed with her efficiency at diagnosing a condition that has been bothering me for a few years. I have had multiple other eye exams in the past three years and no one noticed the condition she diagnosed me with, despite the fact I had the same symptoms. After following Dr. Scheinhorn’s treatment instructions for a week I noticed a significant improvement and now I have no symptoms at all.
As a side note, I was also really impressed with how well she was dressed!

I don’t even know where to start. This Doctor simply doesn’t care. She didn’t even spend 3 minutes with me overall, came in, didn’t even say hello, started reading what the assistant typed in the computer, checked my eyes with the machine and gave me a medication and said ok, you are done. I had numerous questions and even I tried to ask a question she answered it so quickly in a way that she needs to leave. She looked extremely tired and seemed that she didn’t want to be there. I have waited for about 45 minutes and what I realized is that all her patients were elderly people who don’t do research before going into her office. I needed an appointment last minute so I didn’t have a choice but to see her because any other doctor’s office I called didn’t have time for the time I was requesting. I did read the reviews here on Unilocal and every bad review written about her is true. I will not recommend her to anyone and will never ever go back to her office. She didn’t feel me welcomed and she didn’t really care about my concerns.

Dr. Scheinhorn has been treating myself and my family for probably the last 15 years if not longer. From basic eye exams and screenings, to performing my grandmas cataract surgery. I trust her care overall. I’ve been wearing glasses since I was in 4^th grade and value quality eye health and care.
Like others have mentioned, the wait times can be lengthy at times. But what doctor’s office is always early or on time?! What annoys me the most is the process to get or renew your contact prescription. The doctor that does that (not Dr. Scheinhorn) is only available on Fridays. And you need to have a current regular eye exam before. This means you either need to have 2 appts on 2 different days, or 1 looooong appt with 2 doctors on a Friday. I get why they need to do all this, but it’s still a little of an inconvenience.
Book your appt well in advance and trust you’re in good hands.

Waited over 45 minutes to be seen. She is very expensive and spent all of 5 minutes with me, and had an assistant do most of the exam. And when I tried to get a new pair of reading glasses, I was told I had to come in and go through the whole exam again.

The place seemed legit as it was nestled next to a medical center. The staff is nice enough but the actual service was a shock. Have never been to an eye doctor that had a separate contact lens specialist, complete with separate charge!
All in I had to come to and from this place FOUR times. Have never experienced anything like it. Then they waited three months to charge my insurance which by then I had changed jobs and lead to more annoying dealing.
Not worth it for what should have been a simple routine check up and contacts order.
