Ive been an extremely satisfied Client of this marvelous group of Optical Wizards since 2006. The care and treatment provided here is always extraordinary. Most impressive is how committed VRMC is to the ever evolving technology in the advancement of tackling Optical degeneration. I cant imagine a finer Clinic than this for treatment of my Retinal condition.

I reached out to schedule an appointment, & got it for the next day!The staff is really nice & helpful.Was a great experience & wishing the team best of luck.

From the moment you enter the office you are treated with respect from all the staff. The office operates efficiently to ensure that all patients have the time to be seen and talk with their physicians. I am very pleased with the care . Compassion and overall kindness that has been shown to me. I highly recommend this office for care. My physician is absolutely amazing. He always makes you feel that you can ask any questions and you always will get an answer

Wonderful. The staff is great .No one surpasses DrYale Fisher.He’s a patients Doc not just a doctor’s doctor.He’s caring, kind and patiently explains all questions.I look forward to my visits.

The staff from entry to sitting and discussing with Dr. Klancnik, are excellent. Dr. Klancnik is so clear with everything and so attentive to my questions and concerns. So glad I found him years ago..... Friendliest and most professional each and everyone of them..from beginning to end..

Considering the importance of vision and the numerous serious diseases which pose a life changing threat, there is no room for error. The finest eye specialists in the country are found at VRMCNY. I have been a patient there for decades and have been seen by several doctors. They define the meaning of expert and consult with one another to ensure accuracy. The office is spotless. The staff is courteous and professional. The visits are usually time consuming due to the necessity of imaging and a preliminary exam with a technician before seeing the specialist. I consider myself fortunate and am very grateful to be a patient there.

The last time I came to this practice was three years ago. Wait time to see my doctor was over twio hours. Moved from wait room to wait room after each procedure. Spent three and a half hours at the practice. My latest appointment went quicker.. Seemed more organized was out in two hours. The one waiting room was less confusing,.

The staff is excellent, very attentive and kind. I would recommend Doing. Spaide to anyone.

Absolutely the most professional compassionate and caring doctor and Staff anyone could ask for. I recently had a retinal detachment and the doctor performed a miracle, restoring my vision beyond my expectation. I am forever grateful to Dr. Engelbert and the entire staff.

Dr. Freund is an excellent specialist, but also a great human being. Thanks to him I have my vision. His staff is excellent. Keep up your good work!!!!!

Wonderful care at VRMC always. The Doctors and staff are kind, patient and really take the time to help with all concerns..Thank you!!

The staff and doctor were extremely professional and I felt that the care I got was extraordinary

Great medical treatment. Office management and scheduling trickier. Always have a long wait there.

Everything went very smoothly! Dr. Sorenson is great! The person who gave us the exam, Julian, is excellent as well.

Most comprehensive Opthamology exam I have had. Staff are lovely and super patient! Dr. Yannuzzi certainly lives up to his excellent reputation. Friends have seen other practitioners here and all have come back with glowing reports.

I have been going to Dr. Fisher for over 30 years. He is literally a genius, with a fantastic bedside (or in the case of his office, chairside) manner. I honestly don’t think there is a better eye doctor on the planet.

Everyone here is so caring and thorough. Always a pleasure to visit VRMNY for my retinopathy checkups, especially Dr. Slakter, but also all the techs and the desk staff. All very helpful and knowledgeable.

The doctors in this practice are considered the top in the US. I have met patients in the waiting room from all over the world.About 35 years ago, at a young age, I experienced a massive hemorrhage in my right eye due to macula degeneration. Drs Larry Yannuzzi and John Sorensen have preserved the remainder of my vision which has allowed me to have a normal and full life. I am so grateful to them.This is a very busy practice which does cutting edge work. I believe you may need a referral from your doctor to get an appointment. They do complex retinal procedures, not routine eye exams.Virginia Bowman

Staff Who is excellent responded well to my concern and seemed eager to solve My problem, and as always Dr. Klein was his usual superior self I would recommend him to anyone.

The staff is professional, the Manhattan office is clean and the doctors caring and competent

The VRMC is very efficient, clean and a very friendly staff. I was in for my annual Retinopathy exam and it went quick but thorough! The staff is so professional and yet personable. Dr. Cooney is great and always makes you feel like hes a personal friend.

As always the care is outstanding. As always the wait could be shorter.

Staff professional & my Dr. COONEY is excellent

Didn’t have to wait long which makes me nervous and Dr Klancnik made it as painlessAs possible. Thanks so much

Good experience love Dr BarbazettoStaff is always professional.

Best of the Best!! Look no further.

Excellent technicians and great MDs

On the phone the staff is rude and not very clear regarding office and insurance information and procedures. In person, the staff seems friendly at first but not very courteous. I have public insurance - and not private so the staff forgot to mention that I need a referral. So when I got to the office they expected a referral but how am I supposed to know I need a referral If I was not told prior to the visit? It’s common courtesy to let your patients know if there’s something that needs to be acquired or get done BEFORE the appointment! I mean do they not prep the night before and go over patient’s insurance while they are confirming appointments? If they have been working in this field for so long it should be obvious which insurances need what. I have worked in a medical office for over 20 years and I always informed patients if a referral or something else is needed prior to visit. It’s part of the job. However I bet if you owe them money they would call you and send you letters letting you that money is owed. Needless to say, they asked me if my doctor can send a referral right then and there. So now I have to spend another 30 min getting through my PCP and asking them for an expedited referral. Very unprofessional to say the least and made me look like an idiot for asking knowing that all referrals take at least 48 hours to process. I don’t know who is in charge of the policies and procedures of this office but it wouldn’t hurt to have a little common courtesy to advise future patients that they are required to have a referral! Other than that major issue, if you can get passed this right initial process well the medical staff and techs are all very nice and helpful.

BE CAREFUL! Front desk with an attitude, very rude.THEY CHARGE ME TWICE FOR A EYE EXAME. Billing assistant screaming in the phone. I went with a infectious eye and I have to wait for an hour. DR COONEY he didnt have idea what I have!horrible service I will never come back here again!.

Wonderful and caring staff . Doctorwas professional and listened and responded to my questions . Very positive experience !

Excellent care, very thorough and professional

Great doctors and technicians

2 hr wait until we saw doctor. So rude

My wife has been treated by both Doctor Klein and Doctor Spade. The superb and compassionate care made us very happy that we chose these physicians. The exams were very thorough . They answered our questions with clarity and patience. Doctor Klein spent a lot of time with us today making us feel confident that my wife is receiving superb care in his hands. We are very grateful to have him as my wifes physician.

Have to agree with the rest of the reviews. The doctors and technicians are excellent, but try getting ahold of a doctor to ask a question and you have to run the gauntlet of a very rude reception staff. I called because I was concerned about a symptom that could be a sign of something dangerous but didnt want to make an appointment unless it was necessary. Maybe I was worrying for nothing. I called and left a message in the evening and then called again mid-morning the next day. I was told the staff was very busy and couldn’t respond.

I visited my retina specialist, Dr. Yale Fisher, and was very pleased with the patient care I received. I was also pleasantly surprised at how nice the staff was towards me. There was a patient representative who helped me fill out the forms. The photographers were professional and gave me a thorough exam. I highly recommend many of the doctors there. The one that started this practice, Dr. Lawrence Yannuzzi, is the one that wrote the retina textbook.

I have been going to Dr. John Sorenson for about 16 years...ever since I had a detached retina. He and the entire staff are terrific. They are uniformly courteous, respectful, proficient, professional and informative. The most important thing I can say is that I TRUST Dr. Sorenson. What could be more important these days in our current health care system?

The staff at this clinic saved my eyesight. I saw Dr. Michael Englebert who was wonderful, professional, warm and friendly. I did not know I was suffering a partially detached retina. Dr. Englebert and the staff jumped through hoops to get me set up and scheduled for emergency eye surgery the same day at Lenox Hill Hospital, not an easy feat considering the amount of people involved in surgery and after care - and navigating the health insurance maze.. It was a very stressful day made a whole lot easier by the staff at this caring, supportive eye clinic. If youre having a serious eye problem, this is the place to go.

Dr. Yanuzzi is the most knowledgeable and kind doctor!

Rudest staff ever. They will hang up on you and don’t care about your wellbeing. Awful, awful,

The best for routine and emergency visits !

Dr. Michael J. Cooney has been my retinal specialist for over 10 years. Unfortunately my retinas have detached in both eyes twice before the age of 50 (which is equal to lotto odds, except with lots of pain and no money). After the 3rd detachment, I thoroughly researched my options as my previous doctor was too busy to see me on a weekend and seemed more concerned about opening another eye center.From the start Dr: Cooney was professional, thorough , compassionate and direct about my condition and possible solutions. Together we decided on the best alternative and he has guided me through subsequent surgeries to address the cataracts that inevitably come after invasive wyd surgery.Eye surgeries are not only painful, depending on the severity of your condition terrifying, and in my case Dr: Cooney helped me to recover vision in my left eye and preserve vision in my right eye.I have to see him every 6 months now for the rest of my life to be sure things are ok and I always know the visit requires ample time for the myriad imaging and examination procedures required.Dr. Cooney often has to soothe me when I develop the occasional eye irritation or discomfort (that sets me into a panic)! My favorite thing he says to me “it’s my job to worry about preserving your vision, your job is to apply your drops and show up every six months.”As a lifelong New Yorker, I’ve seen and heard it all and it’s difficult to gain my trust. Dr. Cooney has always communicated with me with the utmost integrity, compassion and patience and I highly recommend VRMNY (their brand new office on 57th St is not bad either!
