Dr. Zelefsky is an exceptional doctor, but what sets him aside most is his ability to relate to his patients as people. I presented at his office with a condition that had come on some what quickly, and I was nervous about what it might be. Dr. Zelefsky performed a thorough examination and immediately set my mind at ease, explaining in a clear and easy-to-understand way about my condition. Dr. Zelefsky's kindness & sense of humor made me what is normally an uncomfortable experience into a pleasant one. Highly recommended!

I was very pleased with Dr. Zelefsky. He was very professional and at the same time attentive to my concerns. He was very patient with me ( and my fear of eye drops!) I felt he was very knowledgeable and thorough. I would highly recommend Dr. Zelefsky.
