Patient Reviews

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!!

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. 👌

One of the best ophthalmologist ever due to them caring about my vision and health I can see again thank you so much for all you have done for me definitely here to stay

Courteous staff from front door on to the Doctor. Very highly recommended

This facility and highly professional personnel has saved my sight! I never heard of them before, but due to emergency I was fortunate enough to end up here on a short notice. No word can describe my gratitude for their care, professionalism and dedication to saving people in the time of need.

The team at NYC Retina is amazing. A few weeks ago, while working from home, I noticed a black spot in the inner corner of my left eye. After contacting my regular eye doctor, I was told to get to his office ASAP, which I did. After a few scans, my eye doctor informed me that I had a detached retina and would need surgery ASAP and called NYC Retina, which was just a few short blocks away on Queens Blvd. I arrived at NYC Retina at about 4PM, when many similar medical offices are normally winding down for the day and the team was waiting for me. They comforted and reassured me that I was in good hands (thank you Joel). I met with Dr. Feistmann, who walked me through my situation and performed the reattachment surgery on the spot since the office has surgical capabilities and I did not need to go to the hospital, which is a big plus given the late time of day and my COVID safety concerns. Dr. Feistmann was also able to perform the surgery with local anesthesia, which meant that there was virtually no recovery time required. The surgical assistants were kind, comforting, caring and very professional. I believe that they all stayed late to care for me since I left the office at about 7PM that evening. I have also had several follow-up visits since the surgery, which were all very pleasant as well. In my opinion the entire NYC Retina team are the best and I therefore highly recommend NYC Retina.

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

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.
