About Dr. Adam Schneiderman

PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Schneiderman does not fit or script contact lenses. Dr. Adam Schneiderman, a board certified ophthalmologist, received his undergraduate degree from Cornell University and his medical degree from Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. During medical school he was the recipient of an Alumni Scholarship Award for academic excellence. He completed his ophthalmology residency at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, where he also served as Chief Resident. This was followed by a one year fellowship at The Eye Laser Center in Tucson, Arizona. Following completion of his fellowship training in 2002, Dr. Schneiderman returned to his native New York, where he has since been providing general ophthalmology services in a private practice setting. With an emphasis on preventive eye care, he focuses on the preservation of healthy vision through early detection of such conditions as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. He treats a wide range of eye disorders and has an interest in the management of dry eye syndrome. Dr. Schneiderman is dedicated to providing thorough eye examinations and takes pride in his attention to detail. One of his goals at Union Square Eye Care is to make sure that each patient has an understanding of his or her eye findings and treatment plan. In addition to caring for his own patients, Dr. Schneiderman contributes to resident education and performs monthly eye exams at the Lexington School for the Deaf in Queens.

Dr. Schneiderman was great. He was very thorough when he examined the issues with my eye. I have historically had some random combination issues going on with my eyes, so having a thorough look to be more certain what’s taking place is important to me. He also had a calming energy (especially compared to the office which was pretty chaotic). I look forward to my follow-up because he was really helpful.

Dr. Schneiderman was thoughtful and helpful however his office is awful. I experienced an unexpected allergic reaction to prescribed medication that resulted in a visit to the emergency room and needed to speak with Dr. Schneiderman (called numerous times and left voicemails, even spoke with an assistant to stress the urgency of the situation however Dr. Schneiderman said he was never notified of any of my messages). After I finally spoke with him he was helpful but will never use this doctor office again.

Dr Schneiderman was totally cool. Very down to earth and we were close in age and I’m a musician so we had that in common. This was a shot in the dark so I’m very pleased it worked out.

Dr. Schneiderman was very thorough and thoughtful. I felt well cared for and believe that the time he spent asking questions combined with the clinical exam put me on the right treatment track. I have nowswitched from my previous ophthalmologist to Dr. Schneiderman based on this terrific experience!

Not thrilled. Separate person briefly checks your eyesight. Then you wait AGAIN to see doc, who was not really personable. Also the glasses there are super duper EXPENSIVE!!

It was a pleasant experience that belied my earlier fears. He answered my questions relative to my bilateral cataracts; when I should go for surgery; and he even assured my that he did not see vasculitis in my eyes. I am happy that I will see him again in July.

I had a great experience with the front desk and Dr Schneiderman. Maybe because it is new Xmas and NYE, there weren't many patients. The front desk was friendly and efficient. The assistant and Dr S are informative and patient. He took his time and explained everything and answered all my concerns.

Doctor was great. Office was disgusting - no soap in the bathroom and the soap dispenser was broken - I informed the reception staff twice the and they brushed it off, only to go back to playing on their cell phones while multiple patients used the bathroom with no soap. How does an eye doctors office not have any soap in the bathroom and a soap dispenser that had clearly been broken for a while based on the receptionists response? It is an environment where staff and patients are constantly touching eyes! Completely disgusting and I will never go back here as a result. The eye Dr I saw was good otherwise.

The other reviews are spot on. Dr Schneiderman was good, but the wait was ludicrous. If you can find another doctor you probably should unless you're ok waiting for almost 2 hours to be seen. Besides the wait, though, no complaints. He was a nice guy and seemed knowledgeable.

The reception desk people are not particularly warm or friendly - erroneously told me my CareFirst insurance card was unacceptable. I had to go to the supervisor to straighten that out. However, I never have to wait long to get an appointment or to sign in when I arrive.
