 "All the support staff, all nurses, and techs were wonderfully capable and kind, and after I saw the doctor I texted my daughter "I struck gold with this doctor".  He is going out of his way to help me with a complex diagnosis, while I run into many doctors who run fast the other way when the answer isn't on the regular menu.  and he delivered difficult/scary information with sensitivity and clarity.  I couldn't ask for better"

 "Growing up all my life I had excellent vision until I hit my 50's and developed presbyopia.  Having been a person who did lots of fine crafts, having to wear reading glasses became a nuisance but I eventually adapted, in spite of the fact that I often lost my glasses or just didn't know where I left them behind.  Yet later in my 60's I developed cataracts.  My eyes changed again and all of a sudden I got my near sight again.  It was like my far sight was traded for my near sight.  But that mix was a dangerous one and just got worse when I couldn't see pedestrians nearby.

When I met Dr. Crane and explained my situation he told me this was not an unusual scenario.  He then told me that cataract surgery was a simple surgery and that there were sevral lenses implants that could significantly improve my vision.  one of those options included the multi focal lense.  He exlained to me that this technology has ben great for many but was also explaining that some people sometimes still might need reading glasses.  He also explained that night lights while driving may show added halo.  It also happened to be a pricier option.

As I am trying to make my decision I thought of the many times i had spent similar amounts of mnoney for a two week vacation.  I thought, if this technology really works I had to see it as an investment in my health.  If this improves my vision, it will improve my quality of life.  After much thinking and researching I chose the multi focal technology.  While the thought of eye surgery seemed scary at first, it also turned out to be a very simple, not scary at all procedure.  You feel nothing, nor do you see anything but a bright light in front of you during the procedure.  It's as simple as that.

One of the best decisions I ever made in my life!  While I were told that not everyone gets my results, I am thrilled to share that I no longer need glasses.  I DO NOT NEED GLASSES!  I can read the fine print, I can do my crafts, I can even thread a needle WITH NO GLASSES!

Thank you Dr. Crane and team.  You did not mislead me.  If anything you down played the potential positive outcome.  I have the vision that I had before my 50's.  Like I said, BEST DECISION EVER!

 "NNJEI is by far the best eye care facility around.  Dr. Crane and his team are amazing!  This office operates seamlessly and caters to the patient 110%.  I cannot say enough about my experience but, all told, I had two pre-surgical appointments, surgery appointment and two post-op visits, none rushed and all very informative.  I had such success, I've scheduled my other eye surgery already!!!  Love this place and highly recommend them.

Wanda O., March 2023

Father, October 2022

This is a long standing New Jersey Instution.  This was my first time visiting this West Caldwell location, but I have been going to their South Orange headquarters for over thirty years.  The staff is friendly, polite, conscientious and attentive.  The sort who are sure to brighten your day.  Dr. Considine is personable, communicative and willing to take the time to explain exactly what she is doing,, and the intricacies of your condition.  I have had irritating eye floaters for years and she was the first Optometrist willing to explain exactly what they represent and how they could possibly be dealt with.  100%

 "To: Dr. Bernard Spier and Staff,

This is just a little note to say a big "thank you" to all the staff at the eye institute who were so kind to me before, during and after my recent eye surgery.  I really didn't know exactly what to expect and so I was somewhat anxious about the whole procedure, but everyone present was most kind, considerate and helpful.  Thank you so much for showing reall concern for the patient.  I also appreciate the plant you gave me.  What a lovely gesture of kindness.  I don't think I was ever at any doctors's office before that I received a token of kindness.

A special thank you to Dr. Spier.  You were most kind and answered all my questions.  The surgery was great and I didn't even know that it was taking place.

God bless all of you and may you continue your wonderful service.

Sister Nancy., August 2022

"The experience I just went through was, well, amazing.  I was told by a friend who recommended Eye Institute what to expect and what she told me was right on target.  The nurses were very respectful and did a wonderful job to make one feel that I was important to them.  They were kind, courteous and policy, as if they had known you for some time.  Dr. Crane was great.  They all spoke with soft gentle tones to make you feel comfortable.  Even though I was told beforehand what the surgery would entail, I was a little nervous at first, but during the process I felt myself relaxing completely until the surgery was over.  

WOW - what an experience.  I will be letting my friends who need the same surgery how enlightened I was."

Philomena J., August 2022

 "Medical staff (clerical, clinicians & ancillary) were very courteous, empathetic, cooperative and friendly.  Made me relaxed and at ease for my surgery.  Really professional.  Kudos!

Great Job Team South Orange, Northern New Jersey Eye Institute.  You made my operation/surgery very comfortable because of your pre-surgery preparatory guidance/information for all staff.  Also on the day of my surgery, the team made me feel at ease and relaed with their professional, calming words.  I was told by a friend of the professional and empathetic service provided by your staff and I was not disappointed.  I want to assure you that I will recommend anyone who has a problem with their eyes to your facility.  Good Job!  Keep it up!  Thank you staff of the Eye Institute.  I'm pleased and happy that I made you guys my service provider."

Kenrick T., August 2022

 Dr. Crane and his staff (especially Nurse Brittany) were very professional and caring.  The explained the pre-op, the actual cataract surgery and the post-op.  The anesthesiologist was very accomodating.  As for the cataract surgery, it's like someone took out my eyeballs, sprayed windex on them and put them back (my eyesight is crisp and clear, I'm seeing the world as a hige HD television).  I'm reading everything I see, similar to children just learning to read except I'm reading in my head and not aloud.  Thank you to Dr. Crane and his staff!

Lisa J., August 2022

"I was directed to NNJEI and Dr. Charles Crane by my eye doctor after I developed a cataract.  The first exam was thorough, and the lens replacement options clearly explained.  Dr. Crane was kind, empathetic, professional and clearly loved to help people's lives improve by seeing more clearly.  Dr. Crane listened careully and was happy to explain the process and options.  While the office could get quite busy at times, I found the office staff to be very friendly and professional.  They were careful and attentive to explain each step of the pre-and post-op procedures as well as the insurance/costs.  I felt well-informed and cared for throughtout each surgery.  The outcome was even bettter than I expected, and I am grateful for the team at NNJEI!

Joy W., July 2022

 "From the moment I walked in the reception was wonderful.  I was very nervous about meeting Dr. Chuck Kronengold.  I heard about his reputation for years and that he was strictly business and no time for small talk.  However upon entering, the ladies who attended to me treated me with empathy and kindness.  After drops and more drops and being tested y staring into ome expensive and intricate machine and told to look up down sideways, etc.  I was escorted into the main offfice to meet Dr. Chuck Kronengold.  It was one of the most emotional experiences of my life.  Aside from his incredible knowledge of medicine, the man has the quality of a Saint.  He knows how to deal with shy and awkward people like myself.  We discussed various subjects of mutual interest like his Dog, Abner "Longie" Zwillman and "Woke" before Dr. Chuck began his examination.  The man is possessed of wordly knowledge besides his awesome skills in repairing the problemm with my eyes.  Dr. Chuck is the greatest.  I can't thank Dr. Chuck enough.  What a Doctor, what a Man!"

Myron S., July 2022

 "I was so nervous when I was on my way.  I walked in to feel welcomed (warmly) with Allison.  My entire experience was so much more than I expected.  Dr. Crane is the absolute best.  Everyone from start to finish was awesome.  Joanne was great and very engaging"

Sharon B., May 2022

"When I came to the Eye Institute I was almost blind with a cataract in my left eye since March of 2017, when I cancelled  surgery because of a snow storm.  It was March 15, 2022.  I was very nervous.  My right eye had gotten pretty bad.  I stopped driving on Feb 3, 2022.  

But everyone at the Eye Institute made me feel relaxed.  I don't remember everyone's names, but there was Brittany, Mary, Alison, Beth, Dr. Crane and many more.  I had my left eye done on April 6th and I was seeing 20/30 in 3 weeks.  I had my right eye done today, May 4th and as I am writing this my vision is so clear.  The Eye Institute and Dr. Crane have given me my sight back and I will be forever grateful.  Thank You!!

"Absolutely very professional.  I felt very safe of cleanliness and the preparations they take to make the office safe during COVID.  I would highly recommend this practice as everyone there is very professional and top notch.  Thank you for a Great Eye Exam.

"Since having cataract and glaucoma surgery procedure my eye sight have improved greatly.  In that I can see clearer driving at night, looking at TV, reading and also threading a needle.  My daily living and life is much better since both surgeries by Dr. Crane.  Without Dr. Crane's glaucoma procedure more than likely I would be blind."

Annette J., August 2021

 "My experience at the Northern NJ EYe Instiute was wonderful.  The assistant that was with me before surgery was gentle, caring & well informed.  THe surgery was quick & right on time.  Impressive.

Grace K., August 2021

 "Cataract surgery on my right eye.  I'm 69 and I could see with what felt and worked like a brand new eye.  Vision as clear as a bell, colors more vibrant than ever.  My presurgical vision in that eye was so bad, I could not see the eyedrop bottle.  Now I can read road signs in the distance, and I may not have to wear eyeglasses, which I have worn since the first grade.  It must be gratifying to do what Crane does -- improve the quality of life for people such as myself and others.  Excellent and caring.  And he beams when you tell him your good news abouot "new" vision.  "It's the best thinkg I can think of doing", he says.  I'll vouch for that.

Steven B., July 2021

 "Dr. Crane performed cataract surgery on both my eyes resulting in the best vision I have ever had, in my life.  The procedures were done one month apart and were simple and smooth.  The entire process was professionally managed and accomplished.  My recovery was easy, without any complications.  If I had known what a breeze this was going to be I would have done it precovid.  Thank you Dr. Crane and your staff for a positive and successful experience and outcome.

Meryl H., July 2021

"Dr. Crane and the entire staff ROCK.  I have never worried so much about a procedure because I can't stand anything coming close to my eyes - cannot even wear contact lenses because of it.  But the personnel, procedures and competence exhibited before, during and after the operation were exceptional.  I have zero anxiety about doing the left eye too!"

Anthony D., July 2021

 "It was my first time coming to this office and I loved it, I am definetly looking forward to Dr. C being my regular eye doctor.  I felt so welcome and relaxed, it was like being arounmd family who also wanted to care for you.  Everyone was friendly and patient from Doma to Dr. C, I loved it here!

Tamika T., July 2021

  "After I was told I needed cataract surgery I was given two recommendations for a surgeon, one by my eye doctor and the other by my sister, Northern New Jersey Eye Institute.  I called both and only NNJEI offered to pick me up and drop me off the day of the surgery and for the post-op the day after, which I foumnd to be very convenient as I wouldn't have to bother anyone to take the day off from work.  

I was a bit apprehensive about having cataract surgery as I imagine most people are, but upon meeting Dr. Crane i started to feel more comfortable.  He explained the different types of lenses and the different prices, andhe didn't try and upsell me on the more more expensive lenses, which I appreciated.

Since I had a detached retina repaired a year and a half before at a different facility and had pretty poor vision in that eye.  Not until Dr. Crane removed my cataract and my vision eventuallly cleared a few days later did I ever think I was going to be able to see that well again out of that eye.  I highly recommend NNJEI and Dr. Crane.  He and his staff is great and makes you feel comfortable and appreciated.  I was even given a little gift for having a successful surgery but I won't tell you what it is, you'll have to find out for yourself....:)"

Kevin D., June 2021

  "Front desk and Dr. Considine are beyond amazing.  They took me in as an emergency appointment because I had a huge stye on my right eye and it swelled up my face.  Luckily, doctor is very knowledgeable and helped my heal so quick.  I highly recommend this doctor and the staff is also phenomenal.  Thank you again.

Mara K., April 2021

The experience at NJ Eye Institute are expert every step of the way.  The staff is very thorough, the process informative and reassuring and the doctors are superb.  Dr. Crane is simply the best.  My vision through cataract surgery has changed my life.  I couldn't be happier.  I can drive confidently, I can see accurately and the things that concerned me concern me no more.

Michelle T., April 2021

 Attempting to describe how my surgery which involved removal of cataracts from both of my eyes by Dr. Crane & his team.  After wearing glasses for over 60 years, I am now able to see what I was missing.  This has empowered my life!  I received a new revelation and understanding of the realities of optical conditions suffered and tolerated by so many who haven't realized how eye care has advanced and for the few that they have felt that it was only for the wealthy.  Oh, but now, because of Dr. Crane and the care and work of his team, with my family member, I was given the chance to experience what many only dream bout.  I once was blind, but now I see!  With joy, I gladly will spread the news about Dr. Crane and what his work has done for me.

There is Light! In So. Orange NJ.

What can I say more than it is a very safe, clean and great people.  Everything was done perfectly.  No need to be worried or scared to come to this Eye Institute.  Dr. Crane is a wonderful doctor and the staff cared about you and they help you with whatever you ask them.  So, thumbs up for everyone.  I had a wonderful experience.

Had a very serious and terrible eye problem.  In fact, I could barely see, whether on the PC or phone, etc. it didn't matter.  Life was feeling a lot depressing.  I feel much better after the surgery.  I thank god for doctor Crane, for such impressive job.  The doc & the entire crew are wonderful.  Thanks everyone.  I love the Northern New Jersey Eye Institute.  What a caring place!

 For Dr. Crane...........

I had cataract surgery and the whole process was seamless.  Options were explained to me in advance and the whole process, from my first visit to my post-surgery visit, was very smooth.  The doctor and his staff were not just very professional but extremely cordial and made me feel comfortable every step of the way.  Highly recommended!

 Doctor Crane is the Best!

Cataract surgery was smooth, easy and my vision is fantastic! 

He previously inserted a plug in the lower lid but witht he addition of the upper plus this year he changed my life!  I finally felt comfortable watching movies, goint to the mall and simply having conversations with people without pain in my eye.  So, yes, he changed my life and I am proud to say he is the BEST!

He is thoughtful, dedicated, kind, and gently with an amazing attentive staff.

 "I was more than pleased or satisfied.  The staff was excellent.  The nurses and the anesthesiologist were all compassionate for I am terrified with operating rooms and needles.  They were very patient and gentle with me.  I had both eyes done and if I had a third I would get it done.  I would like to thank Dr. Crane also, he was very kind and could be my surgeon anytime.  Again, thank you all for all you've done to get me through the surgery with no proglems.  I can now see without glasses.

 "This cataract eye surgery was the best thing I have ever done for myself.  I used to not be able to see the numbers on my alarm clock 3 inches away from my pillow in the morning and have had countless problems driving, seeing street signs, etc.  I had no qualms with my precious gift of sight in the hands of Dr. Crane.  An expereinced, knowledgeable, thorough and gifted cataract eye surgeon.  I had a wonderful expereience knowing I was being taken care of extremely well by Dr. Crane plus the staffs care and concern.  They were not only over the top, but made it something that I would highly recommend for anyone considering it. 

I now open my eyes upon the sound of the alarm and see as if I have been not a glasses wearer since my childhood in Europe.  I am eternally grateful to Dr. Crane for changing the way I see and experience life forever for the better and strongly urge everyone to see you if they need you.

P.S. One more - the flowers and picture with Dr. Crane made me cry."

Your office strives and maintains a very high bow in all of these categories.  Very pleased with your excellent care and treatment.

In these times it is difficult  to ffind and keep responsible and courteous staff - you have succeeded.

"I've worn glasses since I was a little girl and hated having to do so - more and more as I grew up.  I would have done anything not to wear them.  So you would think when I was told I needed eye surgery and that with a lens implant I would only need glasses to read, I would be so happy.  I wasn't - I was afraid of surgery.  I trusted Dr. Crane but I was still afraid.  THen I decided on surgery and when after a few hours oafter recouperating, I could not believe how happy I was to see!   The staff was so caring, attentive and, of course, competent, that I want to thank each of them.  Surgery was one of the most positive, uplifting thing (gift) I every gave myself!"

"Painless, flawless, seemingly effortless.  This would describe my cataract surgery performed by D. Crane and his gifted surgical team at Northern New Jersey Eye Institute.  From the moment I entered the prep area, Ruth and Kristen put me at ease and quietly explained the procedures that would be followed both before and after surgery.  After my surgery, Ruth graciously declined my request for a Taylor ham and egg but did manage some tasty treats before I left.  My sincere thanks to all people involved."

Alan S. January 2014

---

"I came becuase of the recommendation of two patients who gave high praise to Dr. Gonzalez but the clincher was the rides provided.  Dr. Spier did the surgery and he and his surgical staff rate 5 stars.  I have only high praise for the Elizabeth and South Orange offices and for Elwood for his rides."

Donald J. December 2013

---

" While I have been aware of Dr. Crane's skill as a surgeon from past family experience, I still found myself somewhat amazed, from a patient's point of view, at the seeming simplicity of my cataract surgery.  As to the surgery itself, it was smoothly handled from the time I entered the surgery unit and immediately cared for by Terri and Chris.  I couldn't help but notice the smooth flow of patients coming out of surgery.  Each in turn was given the same prompt, efficient, yet at the same time, friendly and caring attention that was accorded to me.  If there was one drawback to the surgery in a manner of speaking, it is simply that my vision in the right eye is so much clearer and brighter than it had been that it was a shock to note how many wrinkles on my face are now painfully staring back at me from the mirror that had been somewhat muted before.  My thanks to all parties involved and I look forward to having the left eye done in January."

Alan S. November 2013

---

"Great Staff - caring, informative and very patient.  THey answered all my questions and concerns - which was very important to me.  THey are a very special group of women who truly care about the patient - very rare to find these days.  My thanks to all of them and also to you, Dr. Crane, for a job well done."

Gloria P. November 2013

---

"I have to say that I think every staff member that had interaction with me was informative, courteous, friendly and treated me with the utmost respect and professionalism.  The area where the surgery was prformed had the appearance of being run by a true professional group.  By the actions of all in the surgical area you could tell they were honestly concerned about the patient's wellbeing.  It is no uncommon for any individual to be at least a little nervous when having any surgical procedure performed.  However the group makes the procedure seem so simple by explaining each step.  I believe, for most individuals, their fears are relieved and their nervousness diminishes almost completely.  They took their time to explain the pending procedure.  More importantly after the procedure was completed they made a special effect to explain the proper actions that you needed to follow upon your arrival home.  I could tell by talking to Dr. Crane he really enjoys (and is exceptionally good at) what he does.  When it comes time to have the same procedure performed on my left eye I will definetly be contacting him to make those arrangements.

Robert C. October 2013

"I was amazed after my surgery how much my vision improved.  The brightness of colors, the clearness and sharpness of signs in the distance, even my close up vision improved.  It does not seem adequate to tell you I had a great experience with Dr. Crane and everyone at the Northern NJ Eye Institute.  Everyone was helpful, friendly, and professional.  You felt in "good hands" from beginning to end.  I am very happy and my world is brighter!"

 Dear Dr. Charles Crane,

"The greatest gift of man is light, I delight in the simple pleasures of life that warm the heart.  A smile crosses my lips when I think back on the morning of 5/20/13 when you did surgery on my rt. eye lid.  After the surgery was completed, I heard a calm soothing whistling sound.  I assumed that whistle was coming from Dr. Charles J. Crane.  His assurance of satisfaction, A Job Well Done.

At this time of writing, my rt. eye looks normal, no blurry vision when I walk in bright sunshine.  I only wear glasses to read fine print.  I can read normal print without having to wear glasses.  Thanks also for your dedicated, compassionate and caring employees."

Just a thank you for taking such good care of me and caring about MY eyes.  Dr. Crane and his entire staff have earned 5 stars!!  Thank you so much.  Well, the first thing everybody needs to do is to stop worrying.  Dr. Crane and his staff guide you through the "Jungle of Eye Surgery" like the best safari guides.  They care about you, your eyes and the final outcome as if it were their own eyes.  The operation is a breeze and the outcome is something to look forward to.  The biggest or should I say hardest obstacle to overcome is the bright sun light in the morning after your surgery.  I drive East on route 80 so the sun is right in your face.  I wore sunglasses with the ones Dr Crane gives you over them and still had trouble.  Dr. Crane assured me that that would clear up with time and it did.  It took two to three weeks but your eyes will return to their normal sensitivity.  Thank you Dr. Crane and Your Staff.

Dear Dr. Crane,

You endeared yourself to me when I first met you because of your charming personality and your sincere desire to make you patients feel comfortable, be confident in you, and like you.  But you have forever endeared yourself to me by refusing to do my eye surgery on Monday March 26, 2012.  You showed absolute integrity, excellent medical practice and the ability to put the patient's wellbeing first.  I really respect you and your anesthetist for that.  I actually felt the way you felt, but because I wanted the surgery so bad, I was willing to minimize the extenuating circumstances and go ahead with the surgery.  But you and your partner were not and for that I am very grateful.  Thank you very much.

I will see you again in a few months.  I am going to give my body a chance to heal and regain its balance.  Mary is quite an asset to your team.  She was very helpful in explaining the pre-op and post-op procedures and what to expect.

Thanks a million

It became necessary for me to write this letter acknowledging you and your staff. My family and I would like to thank you for restoring to me the precious gift of sight.
Before my surgery, I was pessimistic about the outcome of my eyes. After observing the care and compassion you and your staff display to each of your patients, I knew I was in "good" hands. You operated with precision and perfection. The warmth of your "bed side manner" coupled with jovial professionalism made me feel less afraid to have the surgery.

I am happy and impressed with the results off the surgery. I would highly recommend your practice to anyone who has any problem or concern with their eyes. May God continue to guide your hands to do the skillful work of improving patient's lives.

With warmest regards,
Franklin

I would like to thank you for being able to see again as if I were a teenager. It is a pleasure being able to read comfortable and not having to experience anxiety when I could not see well enough to find my glasses. You have been very kind and your staff is excellent and professional. Thank you again for my much improved eyesight.

Sincerely, Frances

---

Words can not express how I feel about you. You showed genuine concern about the health of my eyes. There were times I felt like giving up, but you kept insisting. You even sent me a letter to me expressing your concerns. I'm glad I put my trust in you because you were right. I know I can't see all the letters on the chart, but I now can things that I didn't see before I met you. You are truly appreciated.

Thank you for being very patient with me. It's because of you I see less shadow and more sun.

"Went to see Dr. Crane about having my cataract done. He told me about a new lens that had just come out, and that he was having a lot of success with them. Since they were so new, my health plan would not pay for them. I went home and thought about it, to try to ask around for opinions or if anyone had got them. Everybody had an opinion and it was driving me nuts! I should say that the new lens, about 80% of them were able to read with them. Whereas, with the old lens I would probably be getting reading glasses.

So, my next appointment with Dr. Crane I had come to a decision, I was going with the new lens.

After the first surgery on my left eye, I cam home and for the 1st time in 52 years, I could see far away! So, the next day I started trying to read newspapers, books, etc. I didn't have too much luck, but I kept at it.

The next week I had my second eye done. Same thing, I kept trying to read. I was getting a little upset and thought I was in the 20% that would need reading glasses.

Six days after the surgery, I had gotten up, made my coffee and sat down with my newspaper and getting prepared to struggle with it. I stared at the paper and realized I could read! It was like a miracle. I was given a new pair of eyes! It was worth the money and if anyone asks me about the new lens I will say go for it!"

Dear Dr. Crane,

I could not let another moment pass before I took out the time to express my appreciation regarding the successful surgery you performed on both of my eyes on December 11, 1998 at the Northern, New Jersey Eye Institute.

You exemplified the process of providing competent amiable physician skills. Your evaluation via assessing, evaluating and consistently consulting with me in regards to my progress was excellent.

Especially I will always remember your professionalism, your thoughtfulness and your genuine interest in me as a person. You are truly dedicated and committed to heath care and superior customer service.

I hope I will be able, in the future, to recommend others to you.

Truly Yours,
Ruth

Dear Dr, Crane,

Thank you for your letter of August 4, which was much appreciated. I will continue to buy "The Science Times" every Tuesday while I am here in the United States and send you articles about the eyes. There is a Chinese saying:

I hear and I forget
I see and I remember
I do and I understand

Thanks to the Northern New Jersey Eye Institute I have 20/20 vision with glasses for reading and writing. With best wishes and kind regards.

Sincerely yours,
Mildred

Dear Dr Crane,

This card reminded me of the hippie years, when I came of age. Seeing things in different ways was the order of the day, and 'far out' was the best description of how we saw. What better expression from a *former* high myop of 50+ years than....far out, the way I see now!

Your talents and skills have given me this most amazing gift that seems very far out indeed - I couldn't have imagined such a thing. Only in my dreams was I not encumbered with glasses. My only, ever wish to the fairy godmother was to wake up in the morning and SEE without glasses.

Little did I know that I did have a fairy godmother and that she would guide me to your door. So, thank you to my fairy godmother, and a mega thank you to you, Dr Crane, for your years of learning and practice to bring me what I never believed possible.

Tears in my precious eyes, from my heart to yours.

Your Best Fan,
Barbara W.
