I was very pleased with every aspect of my visit. From the diagnostic tools used to the professionalism of the doctor, it was all very impressive.
Verified patient
The actual size of the clinic is surprisingly immense - endless space for offices and labs, truly impressive! However, not as amazing as the actual staff and Dr. Batta! Exemplary care and concern, fantastic bedside manner - reassuring that a thorough investigation was happening to ensure future health. Loved the experience!!!
Verified patient
I thought Dr. Batta's staff was very professional and organized. It is difficult to get people in and out during a pandemic. I patiently waited and was glad that I did. I really like the way she spoke to me and asked questions about my eyes. I highly recommend her.
Verified patient
I felt the wait was too long I wasn’t seen at least one hour after my scheduled visit. The service was fragmented by others who didn’t identify their positions!! Dr Batta saw me after two hours stating I was a new patient as the reason for the long wait!!!
Verified patient
Excellent doctor and staff!!
Verified patient
The office was and felt super clean. The attending person ( who checked me in and dilated my pupils before she came) was lovely. Lucas was his name. I felt connected with him more than Dr. Batta , however she was lovely and thorough as well; I didn’t feel rushed or anything. I had numerous questions and she answered all all while putting my concerns at bay. I will be a long time patient with her and that office. I enjoyed everything about my experience
Dr. Batta is thorough, knowledgable, articulate and attentive. She has a calm demeanor, and took time to clearly answer all of my questions and concerns. She is a good listener and a skilled physician. She took my health concerns seriously. For all of these reasons, she has earned my trust.
Verified patient
Dr. Batta was very attentive and showed concern about my condition. She took the time needed to come up with a plan. She was clearly considering things analytically while also being caring and understanding.
Verified patient
Kind and knowledgeable.
Professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Took time to listen to my concerns and provided helpful guidance. I really liked Dr. Batta and plan to bring my mother to see her as well (but in their Mineola office). The wait time in the Worth Street office was not respectful of people's time. They should book less people to minimize the wait time.
Verified patient
Dr. Batta is a superlative physician. She is an excellent diagnostician, a sympathetic listener, and a gracious, intelligent human being!
Verified patient
Dr. Batta was pleasant and very professional in her interaction with me. Instead of making me wait, Dr. Batta allowed me to ask questions before she provided me with the information, she thought that I should know. Additionally, she provided me with all options (positive and negative) for the surgery I am planning to have and after I indicated that I wasn’t sure what I should do then provided her recommendation with her rationale for that decision. Finally, Dr. Batta reassured me that this type of surgery has a low risk that if there were to be a complication, her office has doctors available with the necessary expertise to assist me if needed.
Verified patient
Very competent and thorough.. she couldn’t find out what was wrong with my eye (eye itself is a clean bill of health, something else is wrong) but wanted to err on the side of wait and see to escalate any further action.
Verified patient
Excellent
Verified patient
Saw Dr. Batta twice, and both times I had to wait for over an hour. Dr. Batta was nice and quite thorough, didn't rush me out (lasted about 10-15 minutes each visit), but the wait time was really unreasonable. Seeing that i had to wait so long for both visits, I wonder if she's always overbooked.
She is a great eye surgeon. She is thorough, provides clear diagnosis and recommendations. She performed my cataract surgery and has been my eye doctor for a couple of years. She answered all my questions and concerns and made me feel safe and taken care of. I highly recommend her for any cornea related issues.
Verified patient
Waited about 45 minutes, then waited again for about 15 minutes after the pre-screening. Doctor was fine got in and out very quickly, couldn't help me with a contact prescription because they're "in between" ophthalmologists who perform that, which sounds like insanity for an eye doctor. All and all wasn't bad but nothing about it makes me want to go back/recommend to others.
Verified patient
She was attentive and professional. This is a busy office but despite the scheduling problems encountered, entirely because of the Zocdoc site, they managed to get me in to see the doctor. She did not skimp time with me, either.
Verified patient
Very professional.
Verified patient
I really enjoyed meeting Dr. Batta. She was very kind and easy to talk to. She gave me a very thorough eye exam and explained my eye problem. I will definitely come back.
She was very sweet and told me exactly what I needed to know.. only thing was the wait was a bit more than I expected, pretty sure I waited an hour to get seen!
