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.

Excellence in Care
Dr. Madow is an excellent retina specialist. He calmly and methodically administers care. He gives me all the time I need for asking questions and explains his concerns and my options with clarity and patience. I have seen other ophthalmologists and he is by far the best. He stays updated on all the latest research and cautiously watches the trials to offer me the best of care. First impressions may leave you thinking he is less personable, but hold out. His dedication to his field and his patients will be evident over time.

Highly experienced & informative
Calm, gentle & knowledgeable Dr. Allowed as much time as needed. Answered my questions & didn't make me feel as if my concerns were trite. Presented diagnosis in clear jargon. Future actions to be taken discussed. Staff very pleasant (not just a job). Clean pleasant smelling, bright, modern decor. Staff focused on you, no gossipping or non medical activities. VERY enjoyable appt. Short wait, tests quickly performed accurately. Will return.

Outstanding retina physician in Buffalo
Dr. Madow is a superb, highly trained, highly skilled ophthalmologist and vitreoretinal surgeon. he is personable, soft spoken, and very thorough with his eye examinations. He has an expert perspective and instills confidence in his diagnoses and patient management. You will not find a better retina doctor anywhere in the Western New York area.

It is too bad that the staff at Dr. Madow's office will not return calls if you need help with your medical records or to transfer to a new Dr. When they decide not to take your insurance anymore! Even though mother has gone to them for over 10 years they are preventing her from getting the eye care she needs from a new Dr! They have received consent forms and requests from Dr. And won't even fax records to Dr. What away to treat an 87 yr. old senior who is blind in one eye!!
