Dear Dr. Schulman: I had an appointment with Dalia Nagel today, but upon arriving was told by one of your sect. that I owed money for my contact examination from last year? I was never told at the time or after that I had to pay for that, as I assumed it was all under Medicare/AARP. Why was I not told before? Why did I never have to pay before? Now, do I have to look for another Opthal. or will I get an answer as to what happened and why did the sect. so rudely tell me I owed money without which I would not get an examination? Thanks for an answer. Miki Marcu

For 30 years, I've trusted my eyes and my family's eye care to Dr. Julius Shulman and never doubted for a moment that we all received the highest quality of care. Dr. Shulman is widely recognized as one of the most respected ophthalmologists in the country. He is a pioneer in Lasik techniques and his book on cataracts is an invaluable resource.
He is gentle, kind and thorough, and everyone in his office, from receptionists to each and every technician, is a delight to interact with. Each time I brought a friend along, they decided to switch to ShulmanEye for their own care. Nothing is more important than our vision and no ophthalmology practice is better than Dr. Shulman's clinic.

BEWARE this office. I was told my lens fitting would be $100. SURPRISE! There is a paper on the desk that says if you need multi focal lenses it will be $400! I left. This has the appearance of a very greedy office. Read the other reviews with similar experiences. The going rate in NYC for lens fitting is $75-100.

Dr Alevi was fine and did a good job. The rest of the experience was absolutely horrible. I specifically asked multiple times if my eye insurance plan would cover my appointment and was told yes. The doctor determined he wanted additional Xrays of my completely normal and healthy optical nerve. I again asked if this would be covered in FULL by my insurance because I did not want to do any unnecessary or additional testing that would not be fully paid for by my insurance.
I was told it would be covered and I would not be charged anything out of pocket. I went for the second appointment and was told it would take 30 mins tops. It took over and hour and a half for me to be seen by a technician who then proceeded to run 3 or 4 more tests. I was only there for an Xray. I repeatedly asked the tech what she was doing and why they were performing all these additional tests.
I also went up to the front desk staff twice to confirm that these tests were going to be covered by my insurance. The total appointment took over 2 hours and I had at least 4 or 5 tests done for my healthy eyes. Fast forward a month and I get a bill from the doctor's office for $125 out of pocket costs. When I called to question the bill the woman on the phone was extremely rude and told me that the Doctor has no idea what will or will not be covered by my insurance plan but I should have known I would get billed and they don't accept vision plans.
I will never go back to this office again and I immediately requested my medical records be released to me. The staff did not care at all that they were rude and losing a patient. I would never recommend this office to anyone. You can find plenty of excellent eye doctors in NYC that have a staff that actually takes the time to clarify any out of pockets costs a patient can expect to receive and isn't rude when questioned.

Absolutely first class practice. Julius Shulman and his partner in crime, Dalia Nagel, are A-list, top-notch ophthalmologists that I would recommend to anyone. Shulman is a pioneer in cataract surgery, intraocular lens implants, and laser surgery, has several award-winning books to his credit, and has been serving loyal New Yorkers since the 1970s.
His younger associate, Dr. Nagel, is quite the egghead herself (Harvard Medical), and has won awards for her work in glaucoma. I went in once with a mysterious redness in my eye that other doctors were dismissing as conjunctivitis, but wasn't clearing up. Dr Shulman took a good look, and even brought Dr Nagel in to confirm his suspicions. it was a VIRAL SKIN INFECTION near my eyelid that was the culprit!
After a little dermatology procedure (gentler than most dermatologists I've seen!), just like Bartimaeus, they sent me along my way! Voil! As Steven said before me, the front staff and all the other attending personnel were extremely efficient, polite and professional. What any medical experience SHOULD be.

One of the best-run medical offices I've ever been to. I have been to Dr. Shulman for routine exams. The place runs like a well-oiled machine--refractive exam--bam! Pupils dilated-bam! Tonometer--bam! (well, perhaps "bam" is not exactly the right word). I've been to other ophthalmologists whose intraocular exam was VERY uncomfortable--esp. the use of the bright light when my eyes were diated.
Somehow Dr. Shulman manages to get the thing done without the pain. Ditto for the tonometry. My wife had surgery done by Dr. Shulman a few years back (cataract)--at Mt. Sinai, where he is on staff. That was handled very professionally as well. Very impressive--even more so to be treated by a doc in my health insurance's panel as a person, and not a piece of meat. Highly recommended.
