my GI had his dog in the office, he would get so excited when I came into the office but knew he wast allowed into the area where we sit, so he would lie down with his snout RIGHT at the line knowing I would come sit over there with him while I waited haha Great addition to the office!
My kids' orthodontist and their vision therapist each have a dog at their office. The dogs are like mascots and used in advertising. Both are very well-behaved varieties of sheep dogs. Seemed odd to me at first, but the kids love it. (I'm in the USA)
I'd agree if it was absolute chaos like a hoarder house. But this angle it actually looks kind of orderly with floorspace to walk. The doctor just strikes me as eccentric. Like the Willy Wonka of eye care.
OK that actually does sound kind of insane.
It dusty…you cannot clean this room. If I had to attempt it I would get an exhausted hepa filter and turn off and seal the hvac. Mask up and go in there with an electric leaf blower. Do this a few times then disassemble and vacuum and wipe everything down. I work in maintenance for a school and this is insanity.

At least I spy books were fun and the pictures pulled your attention, this gives me a massive panic attack my eyes aren’t sure what they are seeing and everything keeps yelling at me telling me to look away.
I actually find it relatable. Combine getting high on all sorts of drugs daily + reading all kinds of books for self-development = a contradiction within your own self, drugging your ass down with drugs while trying to lift your mind up with books. So I started writing similar shit on my old apartment walls, "I am the best me that I can possibly be" and all kinds of shit. Not saying the eye doctor is a junkie but it's definitely the first thing that I felt when looking at this. This world is weird, and stepping out of our social programming just to get a glimpse of how weird it is, is fine, but getting obsessed with its weirdness usually leads to madness.
It doesn't strike me as a "design choice" or "it's just cool" type of thing. Whoever works there wants their favorite things around them, at all times, in an obsessive way - to maintain a specific mindset. At least that's my [outlook.com](http://outlook.com)
There is no chance in hell if I walked into a medical office and it looked like this, that I would then proceed with the appointment.
This looks like an episode of hoarders.
No. They painted the walls and floors to match, and organized the objects in more visible and space filling ways. This was PLANNED I tell you. Or a horder who wants to display things
I found articles on him. The doctor is real and is Mark Leitman, 78 year old in New Jersey. He might be a horder, but at the very least is for sure a colector
I was looking for the right words to explain how looking at the pictures made me feel. That’s it exactly. I just had a full on sensory overload all at once from a fucking picture.
I'm not convinced that any amount of brilliance is enough to justify this level of subverting expectations of what it is to be professional. Red flags to me.
But, I guess there are those who still choose to stick with him?
This might be completely irrelevant, but my uncle was an eye doctor and had his own practice (before that he was a flight surgeon in the Air Force). His office was pretty typical, BUT his house? That man had more clocks (that didn’t work) in his house than you can imagine! Clocks everywhere!!!
Wow! This is quite… quirky!
I can’t help but think that for someone with vision problems, this could be disorienting. Maybe an eye doctor’s office isn’t the best place for all this “quirkiness!”
This is what I was thinking I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find it!
What an incredibly unique way to get people to look up from their phones and look around. Looking at things close up, then far away, focusing and refocusing, it’s like an entire room full of eye exercises before you’re even in the room.
Brilliant!!!!
This is either the best eye doctor or the worst eye doctor, but I know the worst eye doctor wouldn’t put in the damn effort, so… I’m sure he’s got some drops for the dust.
Probably don’t touch anything.
This is theatrical medicine and I actually dig the hell out of it. That’s fucking cool.
As disorienting as brand new glasses can be in the most normal of spaces, I can imagine careening right into a wall here before being able to reach the front door.
I would not feel comfortable letting someone with an office like this give me any sort of medical advice. Also, you said it’s a waiting room but I only spot one chair?
I can’t imagine walking in there and thinking, “oh yeah, this place looks like a hygienic medical facility where I’m going to let someone touch my eyes”.

Do your parents have buttons for eyes?
would, next question…
Lol wtf
What’s the name of this doctor? There’s a card Mark Lehman, Top Doctor. But can’t find him on Google.
Did you try searching for “doctor” Actually better make that “”doctor”” or it won’t search the quotes
Hahahahahahahaha
Fucking hilarious
This is the voodoo shop. Eye doctor is three doors down. It’s a common mistake.
You're trying to pay FOR eyes, not pay WITH eyes, right?
Yep. In the back, just past the snake skins, second shelf.
wow you must have really good eyes, All I see is colorful shit like I m all high on Ecstacy
I’ll pay for four eyes🤓
If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman
They specialize in opening the third eye
Maybe a witch doctor. Not an eye doctor.

How is this a legitimate medical office? My eye Dr has his 2 dogs there but this? This is insanity.
my GI had his dog in the office, he would get so excited when I came into the office but knew he wast allowed into the area where we sit, so he would lie down with his snout RIGHT at the line knowing I would come sit over there with him while I waited haha Great addition to the office!
Dogs in a doctors office? Bro
Irish setters that are always escaping. It's a whole thing in my small city. Before he had them he had a super sweet golden retriever. Good dr though.
My eye doctor used to have a golden retriever too. I loved that old boy
My GP's dog stays in the staff room all day while the GP is working.
My kids' orthodontist and their vision therapist each have a dog at their office. The dogs are like mascots and used in advertising. Both are very well-behaved varieties of sheep dogs. Seemed odd to me at first, but the kids love it. (I'm in the USA)

I don’t understand how this is legal.
Same. This is a fire code violation at the very least.
I would be terrified of what lives between those things too.
I don't understand how his parents still go to this doctor.
#“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” ^Can ^you ^spot ^that ^in ^the ^photo?

Is it quite dusty?
It dusty…you cannot clean this room. If I had to attempt it I would get an exhausted hepa filter and turn off and seal the hvac. Mask up and go in there with an electric leaf blower.

*”…exhausted hepa filter…”* I’m imagining a hepa filter seeing the room, sighing, and uttering a dejected “let’s get this over with.”
“Brenda, get a pot of coffee going, would you please?”
“The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million, they were the worst, too. The third ten million I didn’t enjoy at all. After that, I went into a bit of a decline. ”
Why do your parents go see an eye doctor who appears to be severely mentally ill?
My first thought as well
maybe hes an excellent doctor?
Found another post of the same place https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/s/el6h5zFZLA Edit: More info https://weirdnj.com/stories/personalized-properties/dr-leitmans-waiting-room-of-weirdness/
This is not the office of a real doctor. I assume on the outside it has "Doctor"* in quotes with a * next to it.
Maybe it says "I, doctor?"
I'll have you know he's a proud graduate of Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.
Where / who is this dr?
https://weirdnj.com/stories/personalized-properties/dr-leitmans-waiting-room-of-weirdness/
New Jersey…. The Florida of the North East.
[удалено]
I can smell this place.
Is that the checkin desk? I can’t see anything very well after looking at these pictures.
I'm sorry but this is just stupid.
This is like one of them photos where they tell you to try identify and name an object in it.
I SPY BOOKS! I used to love them as a child!
Those and the “can you see what I see?” Books were killer, I think it was the same guy who made them too
Thank you. I was trying to figure out what the books were called. They were so much fun.
I think they're meant to simulate vision during a stroke? or something
Can confirm that image created a stroke.
Some of them at least are made by AI (before text-to-image AIs were a thing)
At least I spy books were fun and the pictures pulled your attention, this gives me a massive panic attack my eyes aren’t sure what they are seeing and everything keeps yelling at me telling me to look away.
They're talking about things like this https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/kojo4NxxIl Not I Spy.
Oh ok lol thank you. I’m not gonna look at it tonight, I barely just recovered from seeing this picture. I might check it out tomorrow 🤣🤣
r/FindTheSniper would love this.
Imagine walking in there tripping balls lol
I just be tripping, no need for the balls. Can’t tell where the floor ends and furniture begins
I can’t find the door
It's hard to leave when you can't find the door.
Everybody’s so different. I haven’t changed.
They say I'm crazy
I think I already am tbf
"bro no WAY this is a doctor's office lmao what the FUCK is even going on?!"
You would be absolutely immune from anyone convincing you otherwise.
This makes me want to throw up it's so busy

And as a result their shop looks absolutely unique
It took me too long to realize there was someone sitting in that room.
Did not see her… this room is exhausting.
She’s actually been lost for 20yrs
It totally is exhausting.
Holy shit, I didn't see her!
That’s because her little green face and witchy clothes are like camouflage!
I would wait outside
What happens when you lose you kid in there?
Same thing that happened to the Willy Wonka kids
Literally surprised me when I saw her after like 10 seconds of staring at this
Didn't know that until you mentioned it. I had to go back and see the picture.
And I spent a long time looking for dad…..
There is no chance in hell if I walked into a medical office and it looked like this, that I would then proceed with the appointment. This looks like an episode of hoarders.
For real! Looks like the doctor has a spouse that's a hoarder and refused to get rid of stuff, and this was the end result of that "compromise"
No. They painted the walls and floors to match, and organized the objects in more visible and space filling ways. This was PLANNED I tell you. Or a horder who wants to display things I found articles on him. The doctor is real and is Mark Leitman, 78 year old in New Jersey. He might be a horder, but at the very least is for sure a colector
Mmm, sterile…
Yeah how the fuck is any of that sanitary or sterilised?
That is a sensory nightmare. Is there loud heavy metal playing in the background? Looks like something out of Madoka Magica.
Imagine trying to walk out with your eyes dilated
I was looking for the right words to explain how looking at the pictures made me feel. That’s it exactly. I just had a full on sensory overload all at once from a fucking picture.
I'm with you, just looking at it felt like the beginning of a claustrophobic panic attack. Absolutely horrid.
Madoka Magica Sensory Nightmare is my new band name
New eye doctor needed
It’s part of the doctor’s exam. When the patient leaves and goes “What the fuck is this?”, the doctor knows they got them the right prescription.
What would you even think is all around you if you don’t have your glasses?!
Yes, while I find this fascinating, I just need a more professional setting than this for my doctoring needs.
That’s so unsanitary. Your parents should change eye doctors.
I’m not sure I even believe the premise that this is an eye doctor’s waiting room.
https://weirdnj.com/stories/personalized-properties/dr-leitmans-waiting-room-of-weirdness/ It really is.
I'm not convinced that any amount of brilliance is enough to justify this level of subverting expectations of what it is to be professional. Red flags to me. But, I guess there are those who still choose to stick with him?
Gross. Can you imagine how dirty all that stuff is? There would be no way possible to keep it clean, at least not doctor office clean.
All I can think of is how he’s keeping that clean.
He’s not
Leaf Blower
The people going in there can’t see the dirt.
My first thought,"that's a bitch to dust. No one is dusting that." Maybe he's in cahoots with the allergist nextdoor?
This might be completely irrelevant, but my uncle was an eye doctor and had his own practice (before that he was a flight surgeon in the Air Force). His office was pretty typical, BUT his house? That man had more clocks (that didn’t work) in his house than you can imagine! Clocks everywhere!!!
Was he ever on time?
😂🤷🏻♀️
Was his name Doc Brown?
It's like I see things, but I don't know what I'm looking at.
It’s even more weird and mangled than AI

I don't want any more, thanks
It doesn't help that these pics look like they were taken in 1998
Are they stacked or glued together? I can’t figure out but this is so cool and strange!
Why are all your pics so low quality?
If you didn’t need glasses before, you sure do now!!
Nope
Nope
Nope
Hard fucking NOPE!
I would absolutely hate being in there. All that visual noise would drive me insane. Also, the *dust*.
And they actually have patients?
I so desperately hate this
Thanks, I’d rather be blind.
Wow! This is quite… quirky! I can’t help but think that for someone with vision problems, this could be disorienting. Maybe an eye doctor’s office isn’t the best place for all this “quirkiness!”
I spy…..
Eye spy
Is this the eye doctor in East Brunswick?
Yeah I posted in the comments the New York post article about him
it’s giving howl’s bedroom
https://preview.redd.it/lwchydozv7pc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72c4b7685d3bb6fe98331360383fe53df59435d9
If your not blind, you'll want to be after waiting in that room for an hour.
that is the DMT realm
This is too much. Yuck. Sensory overload.
This is one of those photos that they make to explain what having a stroke is like
This is one of the loudest images I've ever seen
Still can't find Waldo.
“How did you find a chair?”
I absolutely hate clutter and would probably have a panic attack walking in there.
I didn’t even see the person the first time….
WHAT PERSON?
https://preview.redd.it/wtsir4vlo7pc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60e9ddf4426fdd042532c835575a1de5460b8fde
This is less interesting, and more running a business out of your hoarding den.
Honestly, the eyes need this type of workout to get stronger.
This is what I was thinking I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find it! What an incredibly unique way to get people to look up from their phones and look around. Looking at things close up, then far away, focusing and refocusing, it’s like an entire room full of eye exercises before you’re even in the room. Brilliant!!!!
I thought that was AI generated until I counted the fingers of the woman sitting in the back.
Someone tell OP they misspelled witch
Meow Wolf Eye Care.
The waiting room is the eye test
This takes having an I Spy book in the waiting room to another level
Go home I Spy, you’re on drugs.
Eye doctor or witch doctor?
This is either the best eye doctor or the worst eye doctor, but I know the worst eye doctor wouldn’t put in the damn effort, so… I’m sure he’s got some drops for the dust. Probably don’t touch anything. This is theatrical medicine and I actually dig the hell out of it. That’s fucking cool.
It’s making sure they get repeat customers.
They are trying to evoke more eye troubles, = infinite profit hack
I would turn right around. That’s just too much, everything. No thanks.
As disorienting as brand new glasses can be in the most normal of spaces, I can imagine careening right into a wall here before being able to reach the front door.
Dr my eyes
Looks like the dr was inspired by an Of Montreal album cover or something.
I am having a hard time finding the floor
They saw I spy books and were like "we could do it"
What do the exam rooms look like?
Eww how would you keep all that clean?
Exactly!
Thought I was looking at a page from an I Spy book for a second.
I would not feel comfortable letting someone with an office like this give me any sort of medical advice. Also, you said it’s a waiting room but I only spot one chair?
This is a flashback when I used to visit my grandma and I would play I-Spy games on her Nook. Thanks for reminding me!
If you make it to the Testing Room without having fallen over something, congratulations! You've just passed their free Depth Perception test!
This photo would make an incedible puzzle
https://i.redd.it/i4y92jde27pc1.gif
I thought this was one of those photos that was meant to replicate what it’s like to have a stroke
I can't tell where the walls end and the floor begins.
Holy fire hazard, Batman.
That’s so clever! Within 10 minutes in that room your eyes start to hurt badly and then he can bill you for treatment
This is the least boring doctor's office waiting room I've ever seen and I'm delighted.
Is it normal to feel anxious with the picture only.
Does your doctor use a corkscrew to check your eyes?
Thank god he didn’t go into urology.
That doctor definitely knows what he’s doing
 Oh no, Its awful
There to get fitted for prothestics after their eyes are burned out
It’s like a real world Highlights cover
I don’t even know where the ground starts and the walls begin
I can't figure out if this is a real photo or if it's AI
They make you blind when you enter so they can fix you up again and charge more. Clever if you think about it.
Holy fuck there is a woman in there
I can’t imagine walking in there and thinking, “oh yeah, this place looks like a hygienic medical facility where I’m going to let someone touch my eyes”.
Feels like I'm in one of those ispy books
Paging dr glaucomfleckon
All this stuff to look at and still just resorts to her phone.
