I am going back. I had a very thorough eye exam before I met with the doctor. Her assistant was very professional, very kind, and knowledgeable. An altogether excellent experience.
Verified patient
They made an appointment and then weren’t there
Verified patient
Worst experience ever! The provider had no record of my appointment, despite multiple confirmations from Zocdoc, including one stating that my insurance was verified and accepted. Even worse, I specifically filtered for providers who “treat children,” only to find out upon arrival that this provider does not. A whole afternoon wasted due to a poorly designed app. As a computer science engineer, I can confidently say such issues should never exist. Find the right people to fix these problems and stop wasting your clients’ time and money!

Verified patient
the dr never arrived. they never called!
Verified patient
Very friendly staff; excellent and well trained caring MD and ancillary staff. Unfortunately, ZocDoc info was poorly communicated and my name did not appear on the patient list even though I received a supposed confirmation from zocdoc. Luckily, they were very nice and agreed to see me.
Fabulous doctor!
Verified patient
From entry to departure, it was perhaps the most pleasant experience ever in a "doctor's" office! What an awfully professionally and courteous medical team.
Verified patient
Fabulous, everyone was so friendly, relatable, a very happy experience. I look forward to continuing the pre procedure and the process itself .
Verified patient
Dr. Belmont and her staff are honestly the best. I am patient since 2007 and I moved out of New York in 2013 but still come back to her. Today I needed a small procedure and they managed to make it happen today. I highly recommend her and her team!
Verified patient
Sandra Belmont and her entire team- from the staff at the desk to associate doctors- are the kindest and most professional people I have ever met. Dr. Belmont and her associates are extremely thorough and take the time to really understand their patient's needs. I can not say good enough things about this team- I give them all the highest praise and rating! I would recommend to everyone!
