He's w great doctor.
I've been to a few eye doctors in manhattan, and Dr. Engel was definitely the best. He took his time, and was very thorough with the eye exam. I would definitely go back.

Pleasant front desk experience. Doctor was attentive, informative, and I think he helped me. (Too late to know for sure.) I intend for him to be my regular ophthalmologist now.
Took his time, very personable. I recommend highly.
Nice guy. He saw me right away. No waiting or BS. Knows his stuff.
Really personable, yet still very professional....nice guy, will definitely be using him as my regular eye doctor. Also is very fast and thorough while still making it as comfortable as possible.
he was very laid back and relaxed and put me at ease
Dr. Engel was very professional, informative and the visit was a pleasure. I would highly, highly recommend him.
Very calm and friendly. Made sure everything was answered before I left the office
He didn't really diagnose my issue, nor did he prescribe any medication or advise. Also I was on time for my appointment and he still took a patient that was late for her appointment before me. I landed up waiting 1/2 hour.
very experienced doctor , he knows what he is doing
Unless you have a serious eye illness don't go to him. He let me know he was a surgeon and really didn't like wasting time with my problem, all thought he did see me
I was very pleased with the whole staff as well as with Doctor Engel. The examination was thorough and reassuring.
Wow... I saw this doctor and both him and his staff made me feel so welcome and comfortable...He is very knowledgable and I would most certainly recommmend him to any and everyone... Thanks Alicia Almorales
he was nice, caring and his staff were a pleasure to deal with.
