I deeply value your kind, Dr. KRAWITZ for safeguarding my vision and for bring light to my eyes (and I'm sure many others will surely echo my words). I will never forget your great responsability when you are abouth to begin a surgery and your patient's impertinent conversation was distracting you: You stopped the procedure; "YOU lost money buth you gained prestige and admiration" even more when that patient gived to you a negative comment, which failed to appreciate your admirable decision, wich him was not wort the value of your care to him.

Mary managed to honor my appointment to see Dr Krawitz. She was extremely apologetic and I accepted the apology.

Dr. Elizabeth A Small, MD, Ophthalmology Department, Mount Sinai Doctors, 5 Cuba Hill Road,…read moreGreenlawn, NY is the "gold standard" of professional excellence. Dr. Small performed my two cataract surgeries; both surgeries were a complete success, and the recoveries have gone incredibly smoothly. My initial examin was very thorough, in fact, it was the most comprehensive eye exam I've ever experienced. The entire procedure was explained, all my questions were answered and I knew that I was in good hands. Subsequent visits were amazing; the doctor and her staff made me feel comfortable and totally at ease. Dr. Small is an expert surgeon, kind, soft spoken, congenial with a sweet sense of humor. Her entire staff, Toni, Danielle, Debra and Daniella, is a reflection of all her qualities and high standard of exemplary professionalism. I am so grateful to Dr. Elizabeth A Small for the priceless gift of sight and for allowing me to see the world so clearly again.

But if you value your time, know in advance that you won't be seen on time and it won't be a quick visit. I just returned from a 10:20AM appointment for my annual check-up, and I didn't walk out until 11:45AM. I spent about five minutes with the doctor, and the rest of the time was spent waiting to see him. And this was not an aberration. Every visit over the past 15 or so years is the same, frustrating story. I hope I never meet his office manager, because he or she would get a piece of my mind. It's not brain surgery. The answer is simple ... either spread out the appointments or schedule fewer patients.

Our family relied upon Dr Bloomgarden at the Park Ave branch since I was a child, and his smaller…read morefamily oriented practice has been taken over by Dr Krawitz. They have suffered the fate of most medical practices, being forced by the insurance companies to become large corporate conveyer belts that shuttle patients through their doors as quickly as possible. Long gone are the days of developing a trusting relationship with an MD. We discovered that one MD at OCLI sees 80-90 patients PER DAY. Despite persistent reminder voicemails from Krawitz's office, we were unable to get my mom an appointment with him for 2-1/2 months, so were forced to go to Lens Crafters for an optometrist, only to discover we still needed an Ophthalmologist appointment. OCLI's Garden City call center was more accommodating when I spoke to them than they had been with my mom, and managed to get us in the same day if we were willing to see a different doctor at the Jericho Turnpike location. There were no parking spots when we arrived and the person ahead of us had to park by the curb along the building. Fortunately someone pulled out and I got the only remaining spot. Inside it was pretty much a zoo. I've never seen so many patients in a doctor's office except the emergency room of the county hospital. The front desk staff were quite nice and helpful, and seemed to be managing the horde quite well. The techs who did intake and some of the testing were a different matter, however. The tall skinny blonde with the high pony tail and the shorter pudgy retinal scan tech really treated us with nothing short of contempt and wouldn't answer any questions. My mom's father had been a physician and she remarked that he would never have allowed his assistants to treat patients like that. Dr. Breingan, on the other hand, had a wonderful chair-side manner, was very patient and kind, and took time to respond to any questions and concerns we had. Michelle, who was assisting him, was also exceptionally nice and friendly. In the past, pre-pandemic inflation, Mom had paid $800 for bifocals here, which barely have any frame at all. In California where I live now, the first pair of bifocals are covered for free by insurance, while progressives receive this astronomical pricing. To their credit, OCLI had a sign saying that patients who make a donation to victims in Ukraine will receive a discount on their glasses. The corporate support and size of the practice means they have an array of the latest most amazing exam equipment, so there are some benefits, I guess. We don't really have much choice where else to go at this point, so are going to have to continue here. The other patients we spoke with while there were also long-time patients, coming from Dr. Bloomgarden's office. They didn't seem to experience the same unfriendly treatment we had.
