Burton J Wisotsky, M.D.

I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic since the age of 5 and developed retinopathy in my early 20s. For a few years, I was seeing a retinologist in Fort Lee who provided poor treatment, nearly costing me my vision. The treatments caused dangerously high eye pressure, leading to a cataract due to cortisone injections in the eye to lower my pressure was caused by excessive lasar. Desperate for better care, I found Dr. Burton Wisotsky—and he literally saved my eyesight. I’ve been his patient for over 25 years, and thanks to his exceptional expertise, I haven’t needed laser treatments in nearly 20 years. I still see him regularly for retina checkups, and I cannot recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a retina specialist who truly cares and delivers outstanding results, Dr. Wisotsky is the one to trust.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wisotsky for the past few years and he has always been extremely helpful, skillful and professional! I first saw him when I was experiencing flashes of kaleidoscopic colors. He explained that it was an ocular migraine which is a common problem and not dangerous but it was good that I had it checked. In 2019, I tripped and fell on my face on a marble floor and quickly started loosing clarity in my left eye. He saw that I had a wrinkled retina and quickly scheduled a procedure to repair it. I was thrilled with the result! About 6 months ago, he also repaired a wrinkled retina in my right eye that was slowly getting worse over the last 10 years. I would visit the office every 6 months and he would check the vision in that eye. When the right eye was sufficiently compromised, he agreed to perform the procedure (sometimes a wrinkled retina does not affect vision sufficiently to warrant an operation), and again, I am very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend him and would not want to trust my retina issues to anyone else!

My family and I cannot thank Dr. Wisotsky, staff, and Omi Eye Care enough. My retina detached the day before Thanksgiving and when no local Doctors would or could take me, Dr. Wisotsky not only took me that day, but he made room for me and ensured my emergency surgery was completed. Despite needing at least 2 hours of his already busy day. I am a rare patient it seems, who has sensitive eyes, so I was a difficult patient. I was moving and squirming in the chair, and overall uncomfortable so probably a nuisance to the Dr. But he was great, and explained everything and during my operation he kept me calm, and comfortable. My operation was Pneumatic retinopexy. So the day before Thanksgiving I was rushed to NJ. The Dr. assessed my situation, and like I said, explained every option I had to me clearly, and perfectly. We then proceeded with the Pneumatic retinopexy and he used the cryopexy on this day as well and then sent home after my 2 hour operation. I was due back Friday morning. Black Friday. And I didn't know what to expect but to say I was anxious, and/or nervous is an understatement. The Dr.'s office was closed that day, but guess what? At 8 am, with my wife and daughter and an EXTREMELY sensitive right eye, we thought we had the day wrong, or someone goofed. But at 8 am sharp, the Dr himself showed up and opened his practice. THE DOCTOR CAME IN, OPENED HIS OFFICE, ON BLACK FRIDAY, JUST TO SEE ME!!!!! I simply could not believe a Dr. would ever do this but he sure did. He saw how nervous I was and again, he spoke calmly and clearly and soon I was at ease despite knowing he would have to pry my eye open if he wanted to take a look. And sure enough, that is exactly what he did. When the Dr. told me everything looked perfect, I was even calmer, until he said ok, you will be getting a laser today. Immediately sweat formed on my forehead because I was already sore, and I started thinking the worse as we all tend to do. The Dr told me it will be "NOTHING LIKE WEDS, and it is only a 1 or 2 minute procedure." Before I knew it, it was over. Just as the Dr said. Painless, and fast. So after these Weds and Fri surgeries, I had to see the Dr. weekly for follow ups. Then bi-weekly, and today was my last monthly visit. The Dr. even used the laser today on my left eye, just to ensure my left retina does not detach. And now, I see this Dr. in a year. Every visit I received this same treatment. Polite, professional, caring, thorough. The actual care was excellent. I put Dr. Wisotsky right up there with NYC's best Drs in this field. I recommend Dr. Wisotsky to all friends and family and wouldn't go to anyone else. The nurses / staff too, were all quick, thorough, knowledgeable, polite, and very personable. Dr. Wisotsky saved the sight in my right eye. Plain and simple. He did an excellent job and made sure of it until the very end. My family and I offer our sincerest gratitude to Dr. Witosky and staff and Omni Eye Care. Robert Nappi & family.

This was to be my 4th visit w/Dr. Wisotsky for follow ups regarding possible retinal tears in both eyes. After much deliberation & examinations, Dr. Wisotsky concluded that there were no tears, & the concerns I had from cataract surgery (glaze & floaters), would eventually clear up on their own, given adequate time to heal. He has a clear command of his chosen profession, & places patients @ ease. I will recommend him given the opportunity.

Dr. Wisotsky is the best retina surgeon on the planet. Nice guy too 🙂
