A New York native, Dr. Tapper attended Brooklyn College, where she was elected Phi Beta Kappa, won the prestigious Elise Tobin Award in Chemistry, and graduated Summa Cum Laude. After completing medical school at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Medical School, she attended the SUNY Health Science Center Downstate in Brooklyn for her ophthalmology residency, where she was selected Chief Resident in her senior year. After finishing her Ophthalmology residency, she completed a fellowship in glaucoma (also at the SUNY Health Science Center Downstate), where she then stayed on as an Assistant Instructor in Ophthalmology.
Dr. Tapper has been in private practice for many years. Most recently, she served as an attending physician in ophthalmology at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, from 2007 to 2010. Her areas of interest include general ophthalmology, no-stitch cataract surgery, laser eye surgery, and trabeculoplasty. She enjoys general ophthalmology because it allows her to spend time with her patients and form close relationships with them.
Excellent Doctor, excellent way of setting up an appointment. Professional all the way!
She seems like a sympathetic soul doing her best, as are the rest of the staff, but the clinic is horribly overrun and poorly managed. People should't be promised appointments if there's not adequate room to see them. I waited two hours to see someone, then had to wait almost an hour more before I could see the doctor. It was terrible.
Dr. Tapper was so unfriendly and made me feel like it was such an inconvience to her to do a routine exam. She never looked at me while speaking and was impatient throughout the exam. I booked an early appointment in hopes to get in and out, however 4 other people shared my appointment time and I was in the office for 2 hours. I will not be returning to this office.
