He performed my cataract removal and intraocular lens implantation many years ago and transformed my hyper-myopia I'd had all of my life (20/2000 in one eye, 20/1500 in the other) to nearly PERFECT vision and took me from wearing thick ugly glasses since I was 8 years old to not having to wear any glasses except for driving, seeing vast distances (i.e. visiting the Grand Canyon) or in the movies. When I had a serious, EMERGENCY problem requiring a retinal super specialist, he saw me at once and got me into the specialist's office immediately. He is a superb clinician and a warm, compassionate physician and you will not find a finer ophthalmologist anywhere in the NYC area.

The relief is temporary and next morning I begin two years of dabbing my eye while searching for an ophthalmologist who could help me. I see more than ten different ophthalmologists and finally I meet Dr. Belgorod. He stems the symptoms of scleritis and saved the sight of my right eye. A few years later he successfully performed exacting cataract surgery on that same eye. Underlying these successful results (as well as others) is a continual concern for my wellbeing as evidenced by his thorough examinations; by his taking copious notes; by making progressive drawings of any existing eye problem; by his taking whatever time necessary to answer my questions. These are part of the pattern I have come to rely upon and no matter what my ocular problem was, I always felt better after seeing him. When it comes to my sight I may not be an ordinary patient. Thanks to Dr. Belgorod I have an extraordinary ophthalmologist who practices medicine like it should be practiced.

Dr. Belgorod spent time going over all procedures with me, answering my questions, giving clear written pre and post-operative instructions and making sure I understood everything. He spent time answering all my questions completely and never seem to be in too much of a rush to help me. When I called the office to ask questions, he called me back within an hour. The original examination was very through and included procedures both in his office and at the Manhattan eye and ear hospital. During the surgery, Dr. Belgorod explained everything that he was going to be doing. I was so very satisfied with all my care and follow-up. I will continue with Dr. Belgorod for all my vision care.

Lack of respect towards's disabled patient's medical needs on behalf of management staff on…read more03/26/2021. Urgently referred by Dr. Marcus to Dr. Ellant to this location  to treat a glaucoma case. Contacted the clinic days before my appointment to be empathetic to the Covid-19 patients' prevention rules explained in their website and to inform them of my need of remaining with my caregiver (due to a mobility disability  at all times) while in the clinic to what they admitted it was fine. Today I showed up an hour earlier to my appointment "not by choice but to the fact that my medical transportation service did not take that long to get me from home to the clinic's location". Dr. Ellant's staff from the beginning showed an attitude of discontentment and as an alternative gesture on my behalf  (although I am a disabled person) I offered them I could come back close to my appointment time, which they agreed and told me to come back 5 mins before my appointment scheduled time. Prior leaving the clinic,  I asked if there were forms for me to fill out to what they responded "only 4 pages" easily completed when I came back?????? It was not possible for me  to come back 5 minutes before my appointment and instead I came back 15 minutes prior; instead of accommodating my disability needs they decided to send me out of the clinic into the street again, arguing that they were keeping the safe distance of patients in a place that is the size of a shoe box. My caregiver in an intent to make them realize how they could have addressed my special medical needs asked ....why they did not mentioned anything about arriving 5 minutes prior to the time scheduled of the appointment when they were initially contacted days before my appointment. One of the receptionist (caucasian looking) started arguing with my caregiver, not listening to what he was saying and pretending to be the victim to this unfortunate situation rendered to me as a patient. As a second time to be condescended to what we were asked for "we stepped out into the street  to wait for our original appointment time".  The same rude woman screamed from the clinic's door entrance inviting me only (not my caregiver) to come in to supposedly evaluate me prior seeing the doctor and insisted that my caregiver should remain outside until I met with the doctor. Just to make it clear both ( me and my caregiver had proper protective gear: 3 layered mask covering with filter, gloves and eye protection) I tried to explain to her the need of my caregiver to be with me at all times and she then responded  "ARE YOU COMING IN OR NOT". Dr. Ellant please be advised that I made a huge effort based on my disability and urgent referral to meet with you and due to your inconsiderate, rude inflexible attitude of the management  staff working at your clinic  I had no choice to take care of my well being rather than keep being mistreated by asking to be submitted to suden whims of such unprofessional and selfish staff. Is unfortunate whether or not you are directly or indirectly responsible for the poor initial service new patients requiring your specialty have to walk away with. I would advise you to really take into consideration the bad experience I went through by addressing immediately the nasty attitude receptionists have at this location otherwise these type of incidents will continue to happen. I am in complete agreement that "we all have the right to remain safe by any potential exposure to the covid-19  and as patients in need to medical professionals like you.... we are doing our part; if the clinic space is too small and the management staff is not empathetic to patients' needs then consider a way of resolving all these by not booking so many patients at once for such a small clinic and changing your management staff to people with the right kind attitude to represent you. To all potential patients take into consideration my experience it could also happen to you.

Very disappointing experience…read more Before arriving, I called to inform the office that I would be running late and specifically asked if I would still be able to see the doctor. I was told that it would not be a problem. However, when I arrived, I was suddenly told that I would need to reschedule. No one contacted me in advance even though they were aware that I might be late. According to the hospital's appointment system, the visit is listed as 15 minutes. When I arrived, I was unexpectedly told that the appointment would take 2 hours, yet no one could clearly explain why. If the appointment actually requires two hours, it raises the question of why I could not be seen the same day after confirming my arrival. The 15-minute late policy does not seem to be applied consistently, and there appeared to be little effort to help or find a reasonable solution. While trying to understand the situation, I asked several polite questions but unfortunately did not receive clear answers. At one point I briefly took a photo of the area, making sure not to photograph any patients or front desk staff. I was then told that photography is not allowed due to a sign prohibiting it, however no such sign was visible anywhere. Overall, the experience felt very disorganized and unhelpful. I remained polite throughout the entire interaction and simply wanted clarification, but none was provided.
