I have never had a bad experience here. Dr. Pinkhasov is excellent and her staff are 10/10. I always feel well cared for and like she cares about making sure I have the best possible outcome. She remembers me as a patient and always makes sure to explain what she thinks is best and why when it comes to treatment. 10/10 would recommend (and do!) to all my friends.

Dr Pinkhasov has incredible bedside manner. She literally spent two + hours with me because of my condition. She explained my diagnosis, was patient with questions and concerns. She just makes everything better.
November 19, 2024Gina H.Verified patient
Made my appointment- based off of what insurance was accepted. Also uploaded my insurance card (Vission card) and manually imputed the insurance number prior to the appt. When I get to the office they tell me they’re out of network. I came a long way from New Jersey and it was a little upsetting that this wasn’t something I was called about because they clearly new as I walked in the door that my insurance wasn’t accepted - extremely disappointed

She was amazing! Listened to all my concerns and made me feel so comforted when I got teary eyed in the office. She takes so much time to carefully explain and make sure you feel comfortable with the plan. I came in SO worry about my retinas and left with a new optometrist who I will be coming back to for all my care. Highly recommend!
