“I had an excellent experience from start to finish. The entire team — from the front desk staff to the doctor — was kind, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. I was traveling in New York City when I had an unexpected eye issue and needed to see an ophthalmologist before flying home. They were able to fit me in the same day, which was such a relief.
Dr. Rachel took the time to thoroughly discuss my concerns and made me feel genuinely cared for and comfortable throughout the visit. Having a medical issue while away from home can be really stressful, and her compassion and reassurance meant so much. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Rachel and her wonderful team for the thoughtful care they provided.”

Im so grateful to Dr. Rachel and her team! They helped me figure out my urgent eye issues and Dr. Rachel explained my condition to me in a way I could understand. ??

Dr. Mindin has great bedside manner and helped me with my issues, so I highly recommend her and would go back.
The only setback is that Zocdoc stated incorrectly that the office would accept my Guardian vision insurance, but this was not the case. The office does accept my United Healthcare medical insurance, but the cost was much higher than my usual copay because of my deductible.
