Patient Reviews

Dr. Feistman is not only a skilled surgeon he is wonderfully caring and responsive, completely dedicated to his patients' well being. Thoroughly recommend.

So grateful to Dr. Mei, Dr. Feistmann and the NYC Retina staff. The level of professionalism and courtesy and compassion is unsurpassed. They were able to give me peace of mind and hope that my eye will return back to normal after a detachment I had suffered and after two bad experiences with another practice.. You can wholeheartedly put your trust into anyone at NYC Retina! From staff to doctors, everyone goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and accommodate you in a timely manner. There’s not enough I can say about this practice everyone was amazing. Thank you so much to everyone again.!!!

Literally saved my vision! If you are reading this because you think you *might* have a detached retina - call NYC Retina right NOW! Traveling for business, I noticed a big grey spot in my peripheral vision. I thought that maybe it was extreme jet lag and fatigue from 4 days of conference rooms etc. Got concerned after a few hours and called the emergency line in the middle of the night - they had me come in. Good thing, as my retina had detached. We did surgery the same day at their on-site operating theater. If I had flown home first, the odds are very high I would be blind in that eye. If I'd done an emergency room, maybe they'd get to me in time, but maybe not. Dr. Feistmann & team literally saved my vision. All I can say is, if you are reading this at 1am (like I was) because you googled some weird vision symptoms then get in touch with this team ASAP. Good luck.

Excellent care. Retina reattachment was handled quickly. Dr Fiestmann explained all the in/out of the procedure as well as all the possible outcomes. I had full vision back after all had healed.

Caring and extremely talented! Dr. Feistmann is not only a great surgeon but an empathetic person. Thanks NYC Retina.

Dr. Feistmann is an excellent Doctor. He & his staff have incredible patience. They are detail oriented & have excellent bedside manners. I would recommend NYC Retina to anyone I speak to who needs a Retina specialist. Dr. Feistmann gives the best care, he allows his patients to have access to him via email or the 24hour phone service his practice provides. He reattached my Retina & walked me through each step of the process. The process was long due to how damaged my Retina was but he was there every step of the way & answered any/all questions/concerns I had. I stand by giving NYC Retina 5 stars & if you need a Retina specialist please contact them.

Dr. Feistmann was very informative and attentive. I went to both offices (Manhattan and Forest Hills), and they are extremely busy but still very accommodating. The FH office has a parking lot around the corner which was very convenient.

I am extremely satisfied with my experience with NYC Retina. I have been accompanying my grandfather to regular visits over several months. There are so many things I am happy about - I'll take the time to list them: - there is a parking garage on the block that NYC retina patients can park in free of charge with validated stamp card - the clinic is very clean, modern, and well-cared for - patient safety is key and patients are asked to wear a mask. Masks are provided at the front desk. Staff exhibits role model behavior by also wearing masks (this matters when working with elderly patients like my grandfather). - we are always promptly seen. Our visits are efficient but thorough - all of the staff members are knowledgeable and kind. I haven't had a single unsatisfactory experience with anyone on staff, which unfortunately is rare in NYC healthcare system - we usually are able to choose a preferential time slot & we get reminder phone calls - Dr. F is wonderful!!! He makes efforts to converse with patients in their language. He involves the patient in a thorough and informative decision-making process. He provides clear explanations. Between the many visits and surgery, my grandfather has always been very happy with the care he has received. - most importantly, my grandfather's vision has improved drastically since beginning care with Dr. F. This is most important because his mental health has improved with it. I'm very appreciative - and having a lot of experience with NYC healthcare system, I can confidently say NYC retina is a rare gem.

short wait and nice staff! doctor was friendly, helpful, & direct. would highly recommend.

Dr. Feistmann and his staff were amazing! They provided excellent care and follow up. So appreciate everyone!! Thank you.

I was going blind and very afraid to have work done on my eyes but Dr. Feistman was and will always be AMAZING. THANK YOU 4EVER DR. FEISTMAN

I discovered floaters in my left eye, and my ophthalmologist’s office recommended I see this retina specialist directly. I can’t say enough. After I left a detailed message and text, Jose at the front desk got back to me within minutes. He accommodated my schedule, and gave me the earliest appointment he could muster. On that date, it turned out that I had a tear in the retina which required laser surgery which was done that day. Though I had a long wait, Dr. Feistmann was more than apologetic, but I also saw that he was with another patient who required far more urgent care, so I was fine with it. All in all, utterly professional and caring.

Dr. Feistmann, he is a living legend

Dr. Jonathan Feistmann and Dr. Constance Mei are the GREATEST! I was diagnosed last Monday afternoon at 4pm from my eye doctor that I had a detached retina and he reached out immediately to NYC Retina and they took me right away that same evening into surgery. They were so wonderful in the calming way they explained what I had and how they were going to fix it. The operating room is first class and spotless and the front of house and the nursing staff at NYC Retina are the BEST! If you need a retina specialist, look no further than NYC Retina. You will be in the best of hands.

Dr. Feistmann saw me several weeks ago for an emergency and today for a follow up. The doctor and his staff are professional, thorough and kind. Highly recommend!!

Dr Shulman is an excellent doctor and I was sad to see her leave her Astoria, NY location. Always kind and patient answering all questions.

I recently had surgery performed by Dr. Jonathan Feistmann. His thoughtful concern and time and attention made me feel I was safe in his hands. The surgery was successful and I am so happy and grateful that Dr. Feistmann performed my intraocular lens repositioning. I feel Dr. Feistmann gave me a new lease on life. The office staff have been kind and caring. My experience with Dr. Feistmann has been wonderful and I highly recommend him.

I just want to post and say that, if anyone in this city has a eye retina situation and needs a outstanding Retina Doctor /Specialist, then you need to go to NYC Retina Queens or Manhattan PERIOD!!! Dr. Feistmann, Dr. Mei, and the wonderful staff at the office will take very good care of you to the best of their abilities. And by the way this is coming from a person that been coming to the Queens office since March of 2019, and has had 3 Retina detachments on the left eye and 1 Retina tear on the right eye. Thank you to the wonderful staff at NYC Retina Queens.

I never write reviews on google, but this is the case when I truly want to share my honest opinion about NYC retina office and the doctor. I have been their patient for 5 + years and I’m so thankful for everything that Dr. Feistmann and this clinic has done for me. I highly recommend Dr. Feistmann to anyone seeking excellent medical care in ophthalmology. From my very first visit, I was impressed by Dr. Feistmann’s professionalism, knowledge, and compassion. He always took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions. Throughout my long treatment, Dr. Feistmann consistently demonstrated a genuine commitment to my health and well-being. He is always patient, thorough, and attentive, and he has a remarkable ability to put his patients at ease. I never feel rushed or dismissed during my appointments, and I always leave feeling confident that I am receiving the best possible care. I also appreciate the support and expertise of Dr. Feistmann's staff. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive, and they go out of their way to make sure that all of my needs are met. I am incredibly grateful to have found NYC retina and Dr. Feistmann. He is an outstanding physician who truly cares about his patients, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional medical care.

The doctors and staff are knowledgeable attentive and make you feel special and at ease! The office music is also excellent. 👌
