Riverdale Eye Associates

Sneakily charged $300 for annual appointment I called for an appointment and let them know my eye insurance. They never said they don't take it, but they immediately followed up asking for my health insurance (so safe to assume they didn't). I get to the appointment and they say they charge $70 for the exam. Fine, more than I'm used to, but reasonable. No mention of anything else. They've processed my insurance and said nothing. After the appointment they tell me there is an additional $230 deductible. Mind you I have a $0 deductible PPO including out of network. They never once mentioned that the visit was not covered by my insurance. SCUMMY. On top of it, they try to push buying glasses in house and LASIK from their personal connection - felt very MLM-y. To round it all out I DIDN'T EVEN GET THE SERVICES I NEEDED. I mentioned I was a contact wearer and needed a new prescription over the phone. I don't find out until mid-exam they "don't do contact prescriptions". Again - fine - but way too late to tell me. I'm out $300 and had a pointless visit. I need to schedule another visit with a new office just to get the contacts prescription

My G.P. referred me to Dr. Landzberg because he had sent his own mother to have her own cataract surgery done, and they were thrilled. Well, no more thrilled than I am!!! In every single aspect, Dr. Landzberg is outstanding! She is personable, incredibly thorough, competent, and she minimized any anxiety I experienced before the surgery. The surgeries themselves (I had both eyes done two weeks apart) were done in a lovely facility in New Rochelle (Eye Surgery Center of Westchester). They were incredibly professional, supportive, helpful, caring. Today Dr. Landzberg gave me a complete bill of health, and approved me to resume my full physical activity 100%. I’m beyond delighted. My eyesight is vastly improved, and in fact, I have 20/20 distance vision, and I don’t need glasses to drive. Now I am a very difficult person to please. And I’m giving you my absolute guarantee that you will be delighted if you put yourself in the hands of this wonderful eye surgeon/opthalmologist. Norman M. Wechsler Ed.D.

Honestly, the decor and eqipment are old-fashioned, but the staff were excellent, knew what they were doing, quick, efficient, and lovely. I'd rather sit in an outdated chair and have a doctor know what they're doing vs. Sit in a modern chair, and have one not know. I already knew my eye history and they properly diagnosed me within minutes. They also were a BIG help in helping me choose my correct glasses. I'll definitely be going back.

I had a severe case of red eye. I called in the morning to see if I can get an appointment and they squeezed me in. They were very professional and efficient. The office is clean and spacious. The doctor was friendly and answered all my questions. I’ll definitely refer my friends there.

I hate to leave reviews like this, but I have to be honest. I went to this practice because they are right across the street from my building. Their equipment is ancient, the eye exam was conducted by an inexperienced tech, and, long story short, when I had time to see my family optometrist, he said the prescription they issued was not correct.
