Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disappointed
Dr. Schwartz promised that my night vision driving would be restored after cataract surgery. I am now having problems driving altogether, with difgiculty focusing my eyes. and consider my surgery a failure.I found Dr. Scwartz's attitude to be very cavalier and this is quite disappointing considering all the positive reviews and apparent Castle-Connely rating. Seems if it doesn't go well he doesn't care.Cannot recommend.

Excellent experience from office examination through cataract surgery on both eyes. State of the art eye examination in office. Modern, efficient surgical facility; proficient, intelligent, and caring staff at both sites. Knowledgeable doctor with admirable patient interaction. Outcome better than anticipated by me. Lovely location on Fifth Avenue near Metropolitan Museum.

Absolutely outstanding. Not only was my physician, Dr. Andrew Schwartz, thorough and competent, but an ancillary staff with all the very latest equipment for a thorough eye exam. BY far the most thorough and comprehensive eye exam I ever had.
