Dr. Gold is very pleasant. The wait time can be a little long but he's a great doctor, answers all questions and doesn't pressure you to buy glasses in-house. He's my favorite eye doctor!

Dr Gold was kind, thorough, and understanding of my need for an efficient and speedy appointment. I was late for the appt due to a train delay, and had to be out as quickly as possible, as I had another obligation. He coordinated the appt as well as he could, and got me out quickly. I had a great experience in his office, and would recommend him practice.

More about Dr. Charles Gold, OD
Dr. Charles Gold is an optometrist in private practice in Upper Manhattan since 1986. He has extensive training in ocular disease and public health. He has been providing primary and emergency medical eye care to patients using the latest technology practices available.
Dr. Gold’s dedication to better serve his patient population, along with his commitment to community health care, led to the creation of Light for the Eyes/Luz para los Ojos, a non-profit organization that provides free eye care, surgery and prescription eyeglasses to uninsured residents in New York City and in developing countries. The organization he founded has performed life transforming glaucoma surgeries and treated thousands of people, as well as, donated almost 30,000 pairs of glasses on its many missions to Latin America. Light for the Eyes has also brought many local politicians on these trips as a way to educate them on the quality of optometric care. As a result of these political contacts Dr. Gold has tirelessly lobbied in Albany for greater medical eye care access for all New Yorkers.
In 2012 Dr. Gold received the Optometrist of the Year award by the New York State Optometric Association in recognition of all his community and legislative work.
Dr. Gold received his degree from the University of California, Berkley School of Optometry. He currently serves on the SUNY College of Optometry Council and is a board member on the New York State Medicaid Advisory Board.
He is married, has two sons and lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

The wait was a little long and the office was extremely busy. The doctor was very knowledgable and friendly. Gave me a great fit on contacts! Highly recommend.
March 29, 2016Meghan M.Verified patient
Dr Gold and his whole office were a delight to work with. There was a bit of a wait to be seen, but I really didn't mind. The staff and other patients were very friendly and the time passed quickly. It quickly became apparent that the reason it was behind schedule is because Dr Gold is so amazing with all of his patients and he loves connecting with people that he goes over the appointment times. I highly recommend visiting this office and Dr Gold.
March 8, 2016Elizabeth C.Verified patient
Dr. Gold was a great. Checking in was fast and easy. The wait was a little long, but Dr. Gold and his staff were sweet, kind, and worked well with me. I ordered glasses and contacts through them and got them the next day which was wonderful! I'll definitely be going back.

The office is a very friendly environment. Dr. Gold is a very approachable doctor who gives you the truth about everything from product review to fair pricing. Amazing experience.
February 10, 2016Rena M.Verified patient
I saw Dr. Gold for my annual eye exam as well as a contact lens fitting. First, Dr. Gold has many availabilities so I found it easy to book an appointment with him and as a student with a busy schedule that is very important to me. Second, his staff at Broadway Vision is very warm and polite. Third, while I did have to wait between the eye exam and the contact fitting it was under 30 minutes which is shorter than wait times I used to experience at my old optometrist. Finally, Dr. Gold was incredibly nice. For example, I am student from outside NY still on my parents' insurance and Dr. Gold was very upfront on what would work best financially with my plan. I usually dread going to the optometrist but I am actually looking forward to my follow up exam!
