My wife’s neurologist suggested that we get her left eye checked by an ophthalmologist due to an increase of floaters, halos and overall blurry vision. I called the CNY Ophthalmology office the next day around 2:00pm to try to schedule an appointment. The lady that answered the phone was extremely pleasant and stated that she would be able to get us in at 3:00pm. We were shocked but excited to get in so soon! She double checked that we wouldn’t have to pay anything with our insurance and let us know to get there early to fill out paperwork. Everyone was extremely pleasant at the office while they performed the eye exam to see the condition of her optic nerves. Dr. Petrela listened to all of her symptoms before checking her eyes. She had two more tests ran- as a secondary measure- everything looked healthy to her. She seemed concerned that my wife’s vision had recently changed and went through a list of tests that she think would help to find the issue. We let her know that we have been working with a few specialists so far and that a lot of the tests she suggested came back normal already. She was so concerned about my wife’s vision issues that she is following up with one of her colleagues to help her find an immunologist! The office staff and Dr. Petrela are amazing and we will be returning to her for both of our yearly eye exams!

I recently switched ophthalmologists and started seeing Dr. Petrella. I am so glad I made the switch! Dr. Petrella is very kind, and she takes time with the exams and explains things so that I can understand what's going on with my eyes. I never feel like she's in a rush to get on to the next patient. The staff members are also very friendly. They're a great group of people!

Love the addition of Dr Aboud. Loved the organization of the office, the professional support staff. I'm lucky to be a patient.
