If you want to see an opthamologist, don't make an appointment to see Dr. Robert Rothstein. I made an appointment to see him, and when I was finally called into the examining room from the small, crowded waiting room I was seen by an optometrist, who happens to be his wife. (Dr. Rothstein was present in the office at the time and passed me twice, without so much as a nod.) When I questioned her about that, she said that I would see Dr. Rothstein if she felt it was necessary. Needless to say, ANY professional optometrist would advise me if I needed to see an opthamologist, so I didn't need her for that. There were questions that I would have liked to ask a real eye doctor, for example, about Lasik surgery. In retrospect, I should have just gotten up and walked out. I am considering contacting the medical societies of Queens County and of the State of New York to ask them if this is an acceptable practice on the part of opthamologists. read more

Dr. Robert Rothstein is a kind, caring professional. The staff at Eyenamics are amazing. Extremely panicked and agitated, experiencing a terrifying emergency, I showed up at Eyenamics without an appointment. Even though I was not a patient, I was seen same day. The Ophthalmic Physicians delivered knowledgeable and sensitive healthcare, allayed my fears, explained all procedures and results. I highly recommend this office for your ophthalmic needs. read more

Dr. Rothstein is an outstanding doctor who truly cares for the well being of his patients.Even during the Covid-19 pandemic he went out of his way to help me in a time of emergency when i got hurt in my eye.

Not to mention the cleanliness of his office and amazing staff he has working with him. Caring people who really want to help and can help! A doctor you can trust. read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Rothstein for 6 months now. We couldn't be more pleased with the care. Dr. Rothstein takes his time and makes sure every detail is checked. He's a perfectionist and you want that in a doctor. While it's a long wait time, I highly recommend this doctor as he's a specialist who very much cares about each patient and makes sure the correct thing is done. His staff is wonderful to us as well.

While Dr Rothstein skilled and confident, you will be marginalized at best. Questions about possible side effects, other related causes or treatments by patients are dismissed, scolded or sidelined. The Doctor is distracted: answering phones, running off to treat other patients or splitting time to see other warehoused patients. Average time the Dr spent was 7 minutes, 2 of those minutes are being distracted by phones, texts or knocks on the door. It's a private practice, not an ER. The staff is professional, skilled, understands service and enjoy their work, the office is well equipped. Trust the Doctor's knowledge and skill? Yes. Cannot say the same for trusting the application of that skill and knowledge: missing an issue or a diagnosis because of lack of concentration, respect or attention given to the client gives concern. If you go to Eyenamics, see his associate: she gives her undivided attention, explains findings and causes, does not marginalize a client's claims or concerns. \ read more

It's nice to know that some doctors actually take the time to read patient reviews and discuss their concerns, if any. Having said that, I had a pleasurable experience during my appointment. Thank you! read more

I saw Dr. Rothstein on the recommendation of my ophthalmologist to get an expert opinion and advice on how to proceed with the glaucoma treatment which had worked for many years and recently did not respond to various medicines to control the pressure in my right eye. Both Drs. listened carefully. They talked to me after a large number of tests had been made and evaluated. I felt very comfortable and trusted their diagnosis, short term and long time options. I have a second appointment in a week to find out whether an increase in prescribed drops would bring the increased pressure under control. read more

What you should know? It being 3 years, I have been suffering from superior oblique myokymia. I have been to neighborhood eye doctor to few well known doctors like Dr Howard Pomeranz, MD, PhD specializing in Neuro Ophthalmology at Long Island Jewish Hospital. He couldn't even name what was my problem. Secondly, seen Dr Cristiano Olivera, MD @ New York Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medicine and the Department of Ophthalmology. He gave me no solution or could find what is my problem. I was in frustration of not knowing what is going on with my eye. Finally, a real New Yorker Doctor, Dr Robert Rothstein, in 5 second listening to my frustrated eye problem, mentioned what it is called and gave me a hope. He is a doctor who give attention and hear your story to find a solution. Not like Dr Howard or Cristiano, those who go by name and fame of profound institution. Talking about Dr Robert, he is really wonderful person and his office, and his staff are extra excellent. If you got an eye problem, please see Dr Robert Rothstein. read more

I was recommended Dr. Rothstein by an optometrist. I was having serious difficulty with my vision and needed to see a neuro-ophthalmologist. Dr. Rothstein, having been told about my condition by the optometrist, made a last minute appointment for me (i strongly believe seeing me last minute made all the difference in my treatment). My first appointment (Wednesday), Dr. Rothstein evaluated me and sent me to have additional tests. The next day (Thursday) I had the tests performed and Dr. Rothstein called me the same day once he received the results knowing time was of the essence. Having the results he treated me successfully. I needed to see another specialist, Dr. Rothstein took the time to call the specialist himself and make an appointment for me that same Friday. Dr. Rothstein took the time to treat me and ensured I understood the steps that we would take. I am grateful for his knowledge, and the time of Dr. Rothstein. He restored my vision allowing me to return to my typical life. read more

First of all making an appointment took 30 minutes 25 minutes of which where on hold. Arrived to the appointment was not given any paperwork to fill out until almost an hour after my arrival. Meanwhile the front desk talking amongst them selves. After finally being called to see a tech two and a half hours after I arrived. The test were approximately 40 minutes long then was asked to sit and wait for the doctor. According to the tech a doctor will be right in 30 minutes later the doctor walks in. Examines me for approximately 15 minutes and says we need more tests. Another 30 minutes to wait and then another 30 minutes for more tests. Then back into a room to wait for the doctor. Once again another 30 minutes before I was seen. The doctor said less than one paragraph. I will never be back sad part is I was not the only one waiting and this seems to be the norm. AVOID AT ALL COST -go somewhere else. Your time is precious and we can't get that back. read more

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Rothstein at Eyenamics NY. I felt I'd made a big mistake choosing Dr. Rothstein, Eyenamics NY by only reading physician ratings online. I am writing this review and sharing my experiences at this doctor's office in the hope that people should feel comfortable seeing doctors without having to be mistreated or disrespected. I had blurry vision in my left eye for several months, and it was my first time visiting an ophthalmologist. I was worried about my eye condition, and I hoped to gain some information about my eye and what could be done to correct it. However, my experience was extremely unpleasant and I plan to write the details of the situation to my health insurance company. read more

He is a excellent doctor, brilliant, fast thinking and problem solver; he saved my brothers life, thanks million to him. He is a good listener and based on all of the results his judgment was right. In my brothers eye occlusion happened and Dr. Rothstein researched the reasons , he sent us to blood work right away and referred to us to go to hematology. He coordinated all for us; right now my brother is on blood thinner to prevent him further blood clot and his eye is getting better. I highly recommend him. His team are great and well experienced; thanks to all. read more

I called Dr. Rothstein's office recently when I experienced pain in my eye and knew I had to see a doctor. The office is a few blocks from my home and that's what lead me to call since I had no prior knowledge of the practice. The woman answering my call informed me that they were pretty booked but squeezed me in since it was an emergency. I saw both Dr. Staiman who triaged me and got an initial impression of the problem, and then doctor Rothstein who did a through exam as well. Both doctors were very professional, caring and thorough. They explained that I had a minor corneal abrasion that needed to be treated and followed. They discussed their ideas about the diagnosis and problem with me, took a great deal of time making sure all else was ok with my eye, prescribed medicine and gave me a sample to use right away. They made me a follow up visit for the next day, when the office was normally closed, explaining that they wanted to make sure that the meds they gave me were addressing the problem immediately. I found both doctors very professional and truly interested in making sure I got the care I needed. I will definitely return and would recommend this practice. read more

Dr. Rothstein was recommended by my optometrist. I found him to be confident, competent and not cocky in his ability. I selected him because I understood him to be thorough and complete and I found this to be true. He works along side his wife who is also a doctor (O.D.) in the practice and this collaboration works very well. She is also very knowledgeable and during my examination he consulted with her to confirm his impressions. I found this to be reassuring. I was pleased that he took the time to get a second opinion. Although I had to wait over a hour before I saw him, I was pleased with the amount of time he spent examining me. I did not feel rushed out the door. Although his waiting room was filled with patients, the wait was not as long as I was told to expect. While waiting I sat next to his administrative staff personnel. Many patients called asking for the earliest possible appointment and the staff seem to make every attempt to accommodate patients in need and anxious to schedule appointments. I should mention that I was referred to another specialist who had a three month wait for the earliest appointment, so I scheduled with Dr. Rothstein instead who is far more accommodating. The office is modern and aesthetically very pleasing. Dr. Rothstein's practice is "high tech" and he uses a very up to date computer system for electronic record keeping . Upon paying my copayment I received a copy of his report with findings that would immediately be sent out to my referring eye doctor and primary care physician. I went home and Googled all the medical terms in his report which helped me better understand my condition. I would definitely go back to him if I should be in need of a neuro optomologist in the future. read more
