Dr. Bellante is willing to work with the patient through multiple trial lens fittings (within reason!) in order to achieve best vision results. I never felt rushed or pressured to accept sub-optimal results for the sake of expediency. Thank you Dr. B.

A true health care professional who knows what she is doing with a great bed side manner. Not only an expert in her field, but seems to have a grasp on other fields of health care as well which is only a bonus at this point. Highly recommended and I would not hesitate to go again!

Dr Bellante takes the time necessary to try different techniques to improve vision with contacts. I do not feel rushed during the appointments, and follow-up appointments for trial lens revisions are not discouraged. I would recommend Dr Bellante all potential customers/patients.

I liked Dr. Bellante, great professional, great communicator, nice office and reception was easy. I did not appreciate waiting nearly 45 mins for my appointment. I was checked in and waiting at the appointed time and had to wait an additional 45 minutes. I think it's great that Dr. Bellante now has a full schedule thanks to ZocDoc, but wasting 45 minutes of my time is unprofessional and inconsiderate. Her excuse was that she was backlogged...no apology nor acknowledgment that my time is as valuable as hers... bad business practice.

Dr. Bellante is excellent, but I was less than pleased with the front desk staff and the telephone system for the office. Being a highly conscientious person, I attempted to call the office to alert them to my having gotten trapped in the subway leaving me quite late for my appointment. I called three times: Not only did no one pick up the phone, but the phone system sent me in circles when attempting to "hold for customer service". By the time I gave up and left a message, I was quite frustrated and worried that the doctor would no longer be there as the zocdoc system left the impression that my appointment time was the last one available on this day. When I arrived to the office, by taxi, the front desk person was not aware of my appointment nor my status as a previous client and without insurance. All of which was communicated through zodoc 2-3 weeks previously. Nor, did the employee apologize for anything. Not impressed, at all. Then, I had to wait to see Dr. Bellante, despite the office looking quite empty.

Dr. Bellante was very pleasant and matter of fact. She is quietly skilled, reserving her conclusions for the end of her observations. The office is very busy and full of activity, but it was a welcoming environment. THe equipment and technology used in the office is state of the art and I felt that my evaluation was thorough. I was completely satisfied with my first visit.

Very professional, thorough. I went in as a new patient for a simple eye exam; I save money by buying frames and contacts online, and Dr. Bellante and her staff did not pressure me to buy these things from their eye care center. More than I can say for most practices.
