Patient Reviews

If Jesus were to practice medicine it would be Dr. Feistmann - true legend

Although I am not an expert in writing reviews, I have the need in me to say this. When I walked to Dr. Feistmann's office, without any previous appointment, I was really worried about the condition in my eye ( I was seeing floaters and needed a laser procedure to fix it). Everybody who took care of me before seeing the doctor (and then the doctor himself) were so kind and patient, explained everything to me, even told me a funny story or two, so I could relax before the laser. It was like a heaven sent blessing. To choose the perfect doctor for my personality type (anxious and scared). I felt that my vision got better the minute after the procedure. A week later, I had questions and doubts so I came back to the doctor (at the Manhattan location this time) and he treated me (no charge) with the same kindness and patience. The only way I can show my gratitude is by writing this heart felt review. Thank you doctor and staff. I wish you an abundant life so you keep helping others.

My husband had debris in his eyes for 3 years. After a procedure with Dr Feistmann he sees better than ever. Dr Feistmann and his staff are fabulous. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Prompt, efficient, caring, and skilled, Dr. Hu and NYC Retina provide outstanding and thorough care, and provide complete ophthalmology service.

Dr. Feistmann is cordial, easy-going, straight-to-the-point, and very effective. Few years ago he pulled me back from a desperate situation and saved me from losing my right eye; quickly and skillfully. No "ifs" or "buts", he is just perfect. Always glad to visit him for the follow ups.

Overall great experience! Service: Dr, Feistmann explained all the available options with his expert recommendation and we created a plan to moved forward together. They have parking available close to the location, which is great. Staff is very organized and helpful. First they remind you a day before the appointment. For the appointment, they don’t overbook so We don’t have to wait for hours.

When I had an unexpected retina detachment in my right eye, Dr. Hu did a surgery in a same day. After one month my eye recovered so quickly and now I can do normal activities. I am so thankful for Dr. Hu for his great job and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful.

All the staff are amazing I feel so blessing my Dad is in their hands. So grateful with all of them.

Dr. Feistmann is an extraordinary medical professional. He is a skillful diagnostician and a confident and competent surgeon. While these qualities alone would make him a terrific choice to handle a significant retina problem, what sets Dr. Feistmann apart is his unparalleled and truly unbelievable responsiveness and availability. I had a retinal tear that turned into a detachment. This was an objectively terrifying experience, as I was in actual danger of losing my vision. But I wasn’t terrified because I trusted my doctor and could text him with questions, concerns, and worries, no matter the time or day of the week. Have you ever had a doctor you could text on a Sunday evening? Having this level of communication with your doctor completely transforms the experience of going through a scary medical situation. My surgery was easy and successful and I have had no complications since. I am supremely grateful to Dr. Feistmann.

I was recommend to Dr Shulman after a complicated cataract surgery. She is very knowledge, kind and explains everything. Her office staff is very professional. She has the latest equipment and does a thorough examination. I highly recommend her.

My visit with Dr. Feistmann was a very friendly, warm experience his staff was very caring and helpful with my questions everyone I talk to was very knowledgeable of my issues

I was very impressed with the whole operation. Very professional staff and the Doctor was excellent.

Recommend if having eye problems.

Had complications following Cataract surgery. Dr. Feistmann was recommended to me but I first saw 2 other doctors but felt most confident with Dr. Feistmann. I made the right choice. Not only did he do an excellent repair but was very kind and available. Made me feel like I was not alone. He does not just come across as a doctor but also as a caring human.

I cannot say enough positive things about NYC Retina. I have had a great experience every time I’ve visited their offices and the entire staff is very friendly. Recently, I needed emergent eye surgery and Dr. Feistmann and Dr. Hu worked hard to expedite my care and save the sight in my left eye. I am grateful for their care and compassion during a very difficult experience.

Dr. Feistmann is amazing! His bedside manner is superb. Staff is very welcoming and caring. I felt like I was in good hands with Dr. Feistmann. He took the time to explain the condition of my eyes and my concerns. At a very vulnerable time concerning the future of my eyesight Dr. Feistmann helped calm my fears. My retina turned out to be fine and I was referred to other specialists. Thank you for being a shining moment on my eyesight journey.

Dr. Feistmann is great! I was so nervous to change docs after years with my original provider but he made the process seamless. I needed another laser retinal treatment and he took the time to explain it and put me at ease. Highly recommend!

In 2017, my mom who was then a young 85, underwent 2 retina repairs by the fabulous Dr. Jonathan Feistmann. His talent, bedside manner, and caring personality made a terrifying experience so much more easy than it might have been in the hands of a lesser professional. Now, almost 90, my mom is still reading the NY TIMES everyday, sewing, cooking, baking, knitting, watching TV- in other words, has total visual quality of life. My independent mom, as well as her family, owe him a huge debt of thanks. Also as important, his office staff is professional, efficient, and respectful. His techs are skilled and pleasant. Mom now has to only come once a year for check up but would be happy to come more often to see this pleasant doctor!

Dr Hu is very personable and knowledgeable in his diagnosis and treatment. After three visits and treatment, l was able to see distinctive progress in my vision. Before treatment, l could not see words or letters in my cloudy left eye. After l began treatment, l was extremely pleased with how quickly l was able to regain my reading abilities in my left eye. I'm truly impressed, grateful and happy to recommend t Dr. Hu to other patients who may be experiencing decorating vision in their eyes. Dr. Hu definitely knows his craft. 👍

Highly recommend Dr. Feistmann. He is a knowledgeable and caring physician. You never feel rushed and all questions are answered. The staff is polite and helpful. Covid precautions are followed.
