When I had difficulty finding a primary care doctor for an annual exam, I still knew I could book an appointment here and at least get my eyes checked and update my prescriptions. It offered me a shred of dignity. The doctors are all knowledgeable and friendly and the front desk staff is lovely and patient. I still returned here today even though I don't live in Harlem and also now have employer-sponsored health insurance. A front desk employee, Solange, patiently explained my benefits and the amount I would be responsible for paying, which was reasonable. She was simply amazing. I know I'll be back next year for my annual exam.

When a patient comes into my clinic (regards of distance), time is respected. Today after waiting for 3 hours, I left. This is just bad business. The staff stated that after 1 hour that the doctor is running late, they then said after 2 hours that he is coming soon . But at the 3rd hour (whether or not I took the time off from work ) this is just disrespectful. Here's a hint to the clinician: hire a partner or partners, save the integrity of your business. Another patient said that she was waiting for 4 hours, I can't. Not in 2025....

Be very careful with billing transparency at this office. We scheduled a routine eye exam and…read moreprovided vision insurance. During the visit, retinal imaging was recommended and we were explicitly told that if it was done that day, it would be covered under the routine vision exam. After the exam was completed, we were informed that the visit was billed as a medical exam, resulting in unexpected out-of-pocket charges due to our medical deductible. Medical insurance was not discussed or verified until after the visit. Only after requesting further information did we receive the billing and diagnosis codes used to justify medical billing. None of the documented diagnoses were discussed with the patient during the exam, nor was it explained that a medical condition was being evaluated or that billing would change as a result. The issue is not the clinical care, but the lack of transparency and misleading communication around insurance coverage and diagnoses. Patients deserve clear, upfront explanations before testing is performed. Based on this experience, we would not return.

Be very clear up front what you will be charged for the appointment. I visited this location before…read morewith different insurance, and this time was surprised to be charged at two different points while there. The first charge made sense - it was for my co-pay which is clearly shown on my insurance card. As I was leaving I was told I needed to pay an additional amount for the "medical portion". The medical portion was apparently seeing the doctor for approximately 5 minutes; it was the shortest amount of time I have spent with an optometrist. This was after going thru a series of four brief tests with an assistant. I called my insurance company and the representative agreed it was not correct. The takeaway was not to go back again. Disappointing because the first time I was there the experience and care were terrific. Seems like they have new practitioners.
