5/02/2017Dr. Vaidya is the absolute best ophthalmologist!!! He is smart, kind and has the kind of bed side manner that all physicians should emulate. Thank goodness for yelp reviews on Dr. Vaidya. I was looking for a retinal specialist and after reading the positive reviews, I decided to make the call for an appointment. Going to an ophthalmologist can be terrifying because these are a vital part of your senses. I was experiencing symptoms that were certainly worrisome but after spending time with Dr. Vaidya, I felt that I was in good hands. Bad news is bad no matter what, but who delivers it by how they do it is crucial to patient compliance and healing. Doctors forget that their patients are scared and don't have the medical knowledge to digest the complexity of their health issues. For these reasons, being in the care of a physician like Dr. Vaidya has been a Godsend. He doesn't make you feel rushed, you leave his office feeling cared about because he addresses all your questions and concerns. And when I had an emergency on two separate weekends, I had to call and was surprised to have Dr. Vaidya return my call with the same care he shows during his office hours. I've had personal experience and have known others who have been scolded or rudely treated by doctors because it was on a weekend. I always feel terrible and hesitant to inconvenience anyone let alone a busy doctor on a weekend, but your body doesn't discriminate weekdays and weekends. Without going on and on about how wonderful this doctor is...I'll just say please do yourself a favor if you need a retinal specialist and go see Dr. Vaidya.read moreread lessApril Dunn11/17/2022First of all, this review is long overdue, and I agree 100% with all the other comments.
Dr. Vaidya is outstanding! His calm demeanor, patience and expertise put me at ease when he explained the treatment I needed for my detached retina and retinal tears and holes. When the day arrived for treatment, I was quite nervous as I went in, but I soon relaxed just by being in his presence. His level of professionalism is beyond measure.
Dr. Vaidya is exceptional, and I encourage you to visit his office for your eye care needs. His team is fantastic as well.

January 14th, 2023 On appropriate occasions, I will comment about a remarkable employee or product from which I received assistance or found exceptional. I am writing today to tell you of the incredibly professional and outstanding service I received from your retina OC staff. The receptionist arranged for me to see Dr. Nadeem N. Vaidya, MD, Vitreoretinal Surgeon at Retina OC, on very short notice the same day. The technician was kind, helpful, and efficient, which was appreciated as I could see Dr. Vaidya soonest. This last occasion to see Dr. Vaidyawas regarding a sudden loss of eyesight in my left eye. I had previously been a patient of the doctor for a detached retina. Let me say on both occasions, I was, in short, terrified that I might lose my vision. On both occasions, Dr. Vaiday was incredibly calming and extraordinarily knowledgeable and spoke in a positive/confident manner to say, "we can fix this " and he did so on both occasions. I can't say enough about this excellent doctor; he is kind and will take as much time with you as you need.read moreread lessPatient1/14/2023- Dr. Vaidya treated my mother at his Staten Island office.

- Over the past month I have been in and out of eye doctors' offices regarding a vision loss in my eye. Very scary as well as frustrating.Dr. Vaidya and his staff are AMAZING. I called them on a Friday before a holiday weekend and they immediately assured me they would work me in.Once there, Dr. Vaidya took his time explaining what he believe the issue w/my eye is, however even told me he wanted to consult with a specialist before providing treatment. He took the time to contact the specialist and while she was not able to get me in that day, he gave her my info and told me to call her on that following Tuesday and she would work me in. Since I was leaving his office still unsure of next steps, he was very reassuring that things would be ok and that everything would get figured out.I find it refreshing that a doctor would take so much time and care with a first time patient. As well as to admit he wanted someone else to look at it to ensure no further inaccurate prognosis. My experience was exceptional and look forward to working further with him.He is the best of the best as is his staff.read moreread lessAmber B.9/02/2017
