Dr. Lawrence R. Blum, MD
11624 Metropolitan Ave,
Richmond Hill, NY

I am so impressed with this office and Dr Blum. This is the top of the line ophthalmologist in Queens and thank goodness I found him. Some of the other offices were scary and looked like they were from 1970

Omg wait time is forever, workers only idle around. Had a 3: 30 pm appointment 4:30 pm still sitting there waiting forever. Need to speed up the process, patient time is valuable.

I've been going to this doctor since I was 9 years old... I'm 22 now and I still love him. Best doctor ever And he has done my lasik. I couldn't be happier. Now ALL my cousins are going there AND doing there lasik with them. AMAZING!!!! Xoxo

He was treating me for glaucoma and I didn't have I was allergic to the eye drops caused my eye to get red and tears 😭 make me almost blind in my right eye …

Terrible, go else where. Staff is mediocre and doctor spent about 15 minutes with me. Told me my script hadn't changed, which made me weary as I notice my glasses aren't helping me see as sharp as before. Went to a different doctor at Forest Hills Vision Associates, doctor did a full exam and dilated my eyes and unlike Dr. Blum stated, my prescription did change. Never going back here, go somewhere else and be seen by someone who cares about their patients and actually takes their time to do a full exam!

My 2nd Visit for my Son That's in the Autism Spectrum and they were so king I want to thank Nicole ! And dr blums assistants they were great expect I was so confuse to pose why one of the receptions at the front called my attention to my son which I remember telling her that my son has Autism she was Spanish Ofcourse but she's was okay and kind she didn't mean no harm but I was so confuse to why they had the TV off I wish they can put Kids friendly TB shows like PBS kids kids to go see dr Blum! But besides that dr Blum ! Was so kind and caring and was straight to the point ! And christopher is getting warmed up ! With everyone ! Thank you dr Blum !!! We need more specialist like you to work with kids with disability in the autism spectrum ! And also I wish to see more cartoons ! In the office ! That would be so wonderful !! For our kids ! I did see toys hangin in wall stuffed teddy bears which was a relief !

Don't waste your time. Made an appointment for 11:45 was on time took 7 minutes to fill out paperwork....waiting another 30 minutes then asked girl behind the desk how much longer....was told for first visits - between waiting time and exam it will be at least an hour and a half (1 1/2 hour) of course they don't bother telling you that when you make the appointment. I've been getting eye exams for 40 years and never have I waited that long. I don't wait that long to see ANY doctor. So I took my insurance card back and walked out.

Office is pleasant, spacious. Patient flow before being called in for appointment is distributed among a check- in lobby and a waiting lobby to avoid crowding. wait time for first part of my child’s visit was 40 minutes after scheduled time (the reason for 1 star deduction from rating).

I decided to go here for my annual eye exam. At first I was given a hard time and told I wasn't insured. After providing more information I was pulled up in the system. The provider was great and checked me for everything covered under my insurance. The ladies in the optical were unprofessional and did not provide quality customer service. I almost felt i interrupted on their snack time since they were both eating chips and I stood their for a while before I was assisted. I left with a prescription and wasn't given much guidance how to move forward. I will not be going back.

Been a patient here for almost 10 years. Always a pleasant experience with the staff, they work quick and professional with everyone, and Dr. Blum himself is always a step ahead of everyone. 10/10 stars for him. Wait time is sometimes a headache but you can't do much for other patients coming ahead of their appointments.

This is the most unprofessional office I ever had to deal with. The front desk cannot answer simple questions. The surgical coordinator does not have a clue what she is doing. Tells the patient to Google answer to your questions. After canceling 3 days of work for surgery they cancel the surgery on you.

Please make sure you obtain 3 opinions before taking the recommendation of this doctor for surgery or better yet just avoid this doctor all together. He gave my mom eye surgery she didn't need. She has become so depressed since losing most of her sight. He misdiagnosed an allergic reaction for an eye condition that requires surgery. Found a doctor in Florida now that confirmed he did cataract surgery she didn't even need because she has glaucoma and he is a former NY doctor. I wish I knew she was doing this surgery at the time I would have advise her not to do it. How in the world can you confuse cataract for glaucoma. Mind blowing...so please be careful before allowing this man or anyone he recommends for surgery on you or your loved ones. Do your due diligence

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Lawrence R. Blum, he was very nice in my particular case. He explained to me what to do with my eye and made sure that I was going to be ok. I highly recommend an Ophthalmologist like Dr. Blum, not everyone has a heart when seeing patients for the first time, he did. The young ladies that work in the office along with him, are very nice too. R.Bernal 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Botched my ptosis surgery to the point where it became way more noticeable and I couldn’t fully close the eye for years. Tried to get my medical records for a revision consultation with another doctor, but they threw away my medical records. Go somewhere else

I've been going for year's very professional & friendly staff.Had eye Cataract surgery very content with the outcome.

First time in the office and I regret it. First of all the rush to get rid of me was so obvious. I was in shock because I’m a new client. Second He didn’t believe that I wear glasses in my daily life. He made a face like I was lying. Third the doctor didn’t took the time to evaluate with TIME my eyes to make sure what he was prescribing . I came home to compare my old prescription with the new one, and now miraculously my eyes are better than before specially for reading. How that happens when I told him that I couldn’t see my old glasses. What mediocre service from him. Never again!

Hats of to Dr Blum. Love his service and professionalism . I did eye surgery there and I am amazed with the results . Totally recommend him . My mom did cataract surgery there and my aunt did eye lid surgery. They were very pleased with the results . Also, Known him and his staff since I was 14 yrs old . They are very kind and professional .

It is day 9 and still I haven't gotten my glasses this is unexceptable it shouldnt be taking that long something needs to change because I feel like that office is taking advantage of me

I would suggest everyone not to schedule any appointment with Dr Blum because they are unprofessional and have no respect of time. I waited almost two hours to be called and I noticed they allowed people to go inside who came after me. Even I noticed they allowed three people on one appointment. Sad part is I had to leave after waiting two hours because they were unsure how long it would take more.

Been with doctor Blum for almost 20 years. Worth the wait very thorough with all exams needed for your eyes.

I was so scared that i was going blind and Dr. Blum performed cataract surgery and eye lid surgery not only am i seeing perfect,but i also look great. Thanks Dr. Blum. And as far as the staff goes they treated me great. Maybe its you. peralmost perfect

Very bad service and worse doctor..he did my surgery wrong. And he said he dont knw

The unprofessional front desk lady for Dr. Blum that was there this afternoon 10/23/19 was the most terrible person with no respect or compassion for anyone. I sat there for two hours and look at the way she treat people, not expecting I will be faced with the same. You ask her a simple question and she practically barks instead of speak. Please find yourself a profession that you are compassionate about. I agree with everyone who speaks lowly of the front desk services at this office.

I am very Thankful to god for putting Dr.Blum on my way .. i couldnt see at all i hated wearing glasses i always had to have my glasses on me everywhere i went ,Thanks to Dr.Blum my life changed no more glasses now am available to see my …

I'm not sure Mr. Blum is a good doctor. I came to him because something was bothering my eye, rubbing like sand, I thought the upper eyelid was inflamed. The doctor looked at my eye, prescribed drops and billed $255. After 3 days, a crumpled lens fell out of my eye. I was surprised that the doctor didn't notice the lens under the eyelid that bothered me for several days.

If appointment is set for a certain time There should be a certain amount of time set for a person to wait Multiple patients scheduled for the same time slots no time frames given …

I read the bad reviews, but I work customer service and I understand people do bad reviews for not legit reasons, so I decided to give it a shot, I have to say that it's a busy office, but that's a good sign, be prepared to spend quality time, I have to say that the staff and doctor are really good, I'm impressed, would recommend a 100%, Doctor is very serious but not rude, he take his job very serious, I'm happy

The best! Set aside time for your annual eye appointment. Don't rush through it. Your vision is worth it. I went to Dr. Blum for many years (so did my mother). He knows his stuff! We have diabetes in the family. It is especially important for diabetics to take care of their eye health. Honestly, you guys have it good compared to the medical system in California-- take it from me, I've learned the hard way. You're getting top-notch care with Dr. Blum. For example, you have far more availability appointments-wise than any provider I've seen out here, who keep pretty rigidly to a 8-5 (sometimes 4) M-F schedule and too bad if that doesn't work for you. Thanks for offering some Saturdays. You give a very comprehensive exam. Thanks for serving the people of Queens. 👍👓👩‍🏫

I have been seeing Dr Blum for several years now, and I must say he is pleasant and excellent as a person and as a Physician, furthermore the employees are helpful and very friendly, I have never encounter any rudness or any complains during all these years, I would give them all 5 stars.

Dr Blum staff is so rude especially the one in the back that works with him. When you get there they call people in that who come after you see the doctor before you. when you tell Dr Blum what they did he is so rude he doesn't even apologize for them. Him and his staff always be gathering and talking and they don't have no time with the patients. The come to the patients when they feel like it, and he did a 5 quick minutes check up with the patients and that's it. He is the worst eye doctor ever.
