Patient Reviews

This may sound silly, but I rarely ever have, except for my Vet, have written a review. But this is a must. After two failed cataract surgeries, I went to Dr Feistmann, for a second opinion. To me he is the best doctor I have ever had. He replaced the lens in my eye, and I can now see! He called me at home on a Saturday and a Sunday and at night at 10 o’clock to find out how I was doing. What doctor does this? Aside from the fact that he’s probably the best surgeon I’ve ever had, he is caring, thoughtful, and my favorite doctor. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has any kind of eye problem. In addition, the other doctors that work for him and his staff are just wonderful. You get the whole package with NYC Retina!

"MANY visits NYC Retina Doctor and his Staff Are Amazing"

De. Feistman is the high exalted supreme mystic retina specialist. He gives a shot like no other. Quick, and easy you do not feel a thing. He is a wonderful doctor and his staff is excellent as well. I am so thrilled that I found this office.

I unexpectedly developed a retina issue and was referred to Dr. Feistmann at his Manhattan office for evaluation, diagnosis and surgery. I highly recommend him and his staff. They have guided me through a serious and scary process with the highest skill, professionalism and kindness.

Had a wonderful experience with this office! My husband had a worrisome issue with his eye. I called the office before 7:00 a.m. and got an immediate response. Dr. Feistmann saw us right away. He was compassionate, thorough and professional. Excellent service.

Dr Feistmann is a rare breed of Doctor who does whatever is needed, whenever it is needed, to help his patients. His direct communication is on point, but not overbearing or insensitive... and his team shares the same dedication to the patient as he does. He is a true 'old school' Doctor. I found him when I lost some of the sight in my right eye. I didn't think it was too serious, as it had happened before, and always corrected itself quickly. But as it turned out, is was a result of 2 tears in my retina. With a same-day appointment and diagnosis, the severity of my situation became apparent. Dr Feistmann and his team immediately made room for me and my operation, without any wait in scheduling, that same day...because it was needed. The successful operation took place at 10pm on a Saturday night!!! Who does that? And the follow up was 5pm on Sunday!! I am so fortunate that I found him and that he had the patience and intuition to not only diagnosis my situation, but also fix it...on the spot. This review is the least I can do to show my appreciation for what he has done for me. I cannot thank Dr Feistmann and his team enough!

This business is definitely grade A quality. From the receptionists to the doctors themselves, the whole team is amazing. My wife had to have retina surgery due to a detachment that was misdiagnosed by the Emergency Room and NYC Retina Manhattan was able to get her on their operation table and fix her eye. She won't have 100% sight in her left eye due to the error of the Emergency Room but, with time, and thanks to the constant care from Dr. Mei and Dr. Feistmann, my wife is able to live a fairly normal and healthy life without any major complications.

I was traveling and had an issue come up which turned out to be a retinal tear. The entire staff was friendly and professional from the first phone call through surgery. I am so grateful they were able to get me in the same day, due to the urgent nature of my issue. Dr F. and the entire team treated me well and expedited my treatment so I had time to recover before flying home. Highly recommend this group and wish I lived in NYC to do my follow up here.

Very appreciative of everyone - Dr. Mei, the professional who took my retinal images, and the office/receptionist staff. They were all friendly, helpful, and empathetic. NYC Retina originally scheduled me for a visit on Fri, Sept 13 at their Queens location. However, the wait was progressively driving me bananas - as you can imagine, sitting around waiting to see if you have a retinal tear (which can progress to retinal detachment) is disconcerting. Called this morning to ask if they had any earlier appointments, and they were able to schedule me for today. The office was clean and not busy during my visit - I'm wondering if they scheduled me during their lunch break, which is extremely kind of them! Thank you - for the first time in a few days, I can breathe a sigh of relief! I'll be back next year, but for a routine retinal exam! :)

What a fantastic group of doctors and staff! I had a major crisis, they made time for me every day this week. This group of doctors really care about the patients. It's worth the wait to know you are getting individualized care. Staff is friendly and understanding. Highly recommend!!

On Aug 2.2024 I had an appointment at noon.The office was crowded,,so I waited about 45 minutes then decided to reschedule. I left and by the time I got home there was a voicemail from the doctor office. A technician by the name of Joel Olivo left me the most heartfelt apology about the long wait time . I am 66yrs old and I never had a doctors office apologize for making me wait. I saved the voicemail

Dr. Feistmann was Excellent. It was a complicated procedure. I felt no pain. And found the experience to be unique. Because I was awake during the procedure, I found it to be fascinating. I would recommend Dr, Jonathan Feistmann to anyone. He is the best.

Dr. Feistmann and his staff are miracle workers. Friendly, professional staff, and Dr. Feistmann is the most knowledgeable, caring doctor I have ever had. I would wholeheartedly recommend Retina NYC.

IF I COULD GIVE 10 STARS, I DEFINITELY WOULD! THE ENTIRE STAFF WAS EXCEPTIONAL, AND THAT'S AN UNDERSTATEMENT!! THE BEST DOCTOR'S OFFICE I'VE BEEN TO IN YRS!!! THE ASSISTANT WAS SO AMAZING, HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE WAS GONNA DO AND WHAT TO EXPECT. DR FEISTMANN! OMG! HE'S STRAIGHT FORWARD, BOLD IN A GOOD WAY, HE'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY (JUMP TO SURGERY DR) HE'S KIND CARING, CONSIDERATE, A GOOD LISTENER, ADVISER AND THE LIST GOES ON! WHEN I WAS LEAVING, I SAID THANK U! HE ASKED IF HE COULD RESPOND TO ME IN JAMAICAN, I WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE DID, A MEAN PROPER JAMAICAN PATIOS! EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT MY STRESSFUL CHRORETINAPATHY, I'M ALWAYS SMILING BC OF DR FEISTMANN! MY OVERALL EXPERIENCED, I GOT THAT FAMILY VIBES!

The best doctor

I called NYC Retina in late afternoon due to emergency situation. Doctor Feistmann rushed to the clinic in Queens from Manhattan. I was deeply touched. The care I received was exceptional. The doctor listened attentively to my concerns and provided personalized treatment that yielded positive results. The entire team at the clinic was friendly and displayed a high level of professionalism. I highly recommend NYC Retina for their excellent service and expertise.

This whole problem with my eyes really scared me NYC Doctor and his Staff Are Amazing

Amazing experience! I was referred to Dr. Jonathan Feistmann by Dr. Michelle Penshorn - to get a second opinion on if I need lattice degeneration surgery. Turns out I do/did for both eyes. That was on 2/27. My first appointment (right eye) was two days later on 2/29, and my next appointment (left eye) is tomorrow, 3/5. Talk about fitting me into the schedule in such a timely manner, not to mention the procedure itself was straight-forward, fast, and pain-free. No recovery time at all. Dr. Feistmann is friendly, easy to talk to, and engaged. He is clearly a professional who knows what he's doing, and I would highly recommend him for your retina needs. Thanks very much!

Great experience. I called office for emergency visit. Without hesitation they said, come in right away. The office was very crowded, but moved so efficiently almost shocking for having no appointment I was taken every fast as well as other patients, they were that organized. . The staff was amazing, helpful so polite just great explained everything. I was taking in for all tests by very good techs, also polite and explained everything about the test After that i went back to waiting area and than I was called in by doctor to go over my tests. Thank goodness was not a torn retina. He gave me signs of what to look for and made followup appointment for 6 weeks. I can not recommend this office more highly. 5 plus stars
