A clean and comfortable facility welcomes patients to a large, quiet waiting room. They are received by competent receptionists who are well-informed of the complexities of medical insurance. Appointments are made quickly and courteously and required screenings are performed by certified technicians. The doctors who have contributed to the development of the techniques to combat Macula Degeneration have won national and international acclaim and metit every confidence on the part of anyone lucky enough to be treated here. Excellent.

(The person writing this review is Dr. Janet A. Geller. Stanley Bitterman is my husband and our account is in his name). Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants of NY is top notch. All the staff are warm, friendly, knowledgeable. I am especially grateful to two wonderful MD's there who I see, Dr. Yannuzzi and Dr.klein. My visit today was due to waking up with what might have been an eye infection. Dr. Klein, in his generosity and kindness, fit me in today even though he had a full schedule.
Not only are the MD's I see excellent doctors but they are real human beings. Unfortunately, I have two exceptions to the above. The waiting room is very large and crowded with patients and in a time of COVID, there is no social distancing in seating. The second exception is a member of reception support staff who, due to her negligence, caused me extra wait time.
She was supposed to schedule me for a technician exam, never did and then blamed me with attitude for not knowing that I needed.this exam before I saw the doctor. Not good PR.

I had my first visit with Dr. Robert Klein yesterday and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a knowledgeable Ophthalmologist who cares about his patients, and will explain everything in the process. I felt well taken care of and knew that I was in good hands. I did see a few people during my visit, some of whom I don't remember their names but they were all super kind and welcoming.
Special thanks to Jojo for setting the tone of my appointments. She is great at her job and made me feel so comfortable! I will highly recommend Vitreous Retina Macula Consultants on 3rd avenue!

I would have given a 5star rating but for the extremely long wait I've experienced and very crowded waiting room. I must say, though, my recent visits have improved greatly on wait times. As for the practice itself I am most impressed. It seems to me that I am in a mini hospital with all the doctors and technicians. They have state of the art equipment and, apparently, great relationships with and support from the top manufacturers of optical testing equipment. Dr. Yannuzzi is tops in his field and on the forefront of latest developments and trials in retina issues. He takes the time to explain the diagnosis and prognosis in very clear terms. He is very pleasant in his mannerisms, too.

I am very happy with Dr. Barbazetto's care. She listens patiently to my concerns and questions. Her responses are clear. She makes it easy for me to understand the complexities showing me diagrams and models as she speaks. Her support staff are always friendly and professional in their approach. What a great team!

My wife was a patient of Dr. Klancnik and I must say we were both extremely satisfied with the visit. The appointments were punctual, the staff was professional, courteous and efficient. The Doctor himself was a pleasure to talk too and he made sure that we understood all of the nuances of his diagnosis and recommendations. All in all, between the doctor and the staff, they made a tremendous difference in alleviating much of our anxieties simply by their professional behavior and attitude.
If I would change anything, it would be to implement a system whereby patients could fill out any necessary paperwork beforehand and upload it to a website prior to the visit. They tell me that such a step is being considered for the future.
