Horrible experience. I went in seeking help for chronic…read moreblepharitis. The doctor saw me for no more than 5-10 minutes, then handed me a paper with recommended eye drops--which turned out to be inappropriate. I had specifically asked for a lubricating eye drop I could use daily, but she recommended something that should be used for no more than three days. She also scribbled down the name of another doctor for allergy testing, essentially brushing me off. They charged $660 for this rushed visit, and my insurance only covered part of it--leaving me with a nearly $400 bill. Never, ever going back. Avoid this place.

My experience with the medical providers was really great, however the billing was a disaster…read more They repeatedly posted additional charges, after previously telling me that I had already paid in full for everything. E.g. $670 for 'other ophthalmic services', which no one could explain when I followed up asking about it. One of the several phone calls I got from their billing office was incredibly rude and dismissive and confusing, including bringing up billing about a screening I had at a different Columbia Doctors department (completely unrelated to my eye). I felt like my privacy was violated, they were weirdly trying to shame me about my unrelated medical info, and instead of any apology for going back on their word (they had previously said I already paid in full), they were really rude and acting like I was the problem. In total, I'll have paid almost $500 for one simple screening visit to the eye doctor. At several points, they were threatening I needed to pay even more, and at other points, they confirmed I had already paid in full, only to come back demanding more. Overall, this was a really unsettling experience. If they lie to me about billing, what else are they lying about? It makes me not want to go to Columbia Doctors again, and fear getting medical treatment in general, because of what a stressful mess the billing is.

From my first meeting with Dr. Pamela Gallin, I knew I was in good hands. After a lifetime of…read morewearing glasses, I was referred to her when I developed double vision and poor depth perception due to a lifelong muscle imbalance and poor binocular vision. Dr. Gallin and her staff were warm and welcoming and treated me with the utmost respect. Dr. Gallin immediately understood my problem and later on it was determined that surgery was warranted. Once again, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Gallin's knowledge and understanding of her specialty is unsurpassed. When the time came for my surgery, I trusted her completely. To say I am satisfied with the outcome is an understatement. Dr. Gallin truly gave me a new lease in life. I have absolutely no qualms in recommending her.

Our daughter has been seeing Dr. Gallin for over 10 years. We switched to Dr. Gallin through a…read morereferral from a close friend because the pediatric opthamologist we saw in Greenwich CT wouldn't give us the time of day and it would take weeks to get a return phone call. From the start, we have had a wonderful care from Dr. Gallin. Return phone calls (same day!) and time to talk on the phone. She listens. She is open to discussing ways to approach medical care. We feel she has been our daughter's partner in helping our daughter with her eye care. In addition, Dr. Gallin has relationships with many in the field who are on the cutting edge of advancements. This is very helpful. We highly recommend her.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by someone at the front desk who was extremely unprofessional. She told me to sign in, as she spoke to someone on her personal phone. When I wrote my name down on a list and walked away, she called me back up with an attitude and told me I had to complete other forms... maybe if she was doing her job, I would not have walked away without completing everything... not my fault that she was distracted and seems to hate her job. Anyways, from there... my experience changed. The staff in the back and Dr. Roa Al-Abdalla were all amazing. The doctor was extremely easy to talk to and addressed all of my concerns. I did not feel rushed and she really put me at ease! Okay, so once done with my exams, I went back to the front desk to pay my co payment and ensure that my prescription was sent to the pharmacy... days later, and I am still waiting... nothing received at my pharmacy! I called the office twice. The first time I spoke to Candy, and she said she would give me a call back... of course, she never called back. The second time, I did not get the name of who I spoke to... she also said she would call me back. I AM STILL WAITING...
