Richard Najac, MD
125-10 Queens Blvd,
Kew Gardens, NY

The best Doctor ever. I referred him to all my friends. I had cataract removal surgery on both eyes. Gentle to the touch. I never felt a thing, and I had no complications after surgery. Promise, you'll never find a better Doctor.😍 …

Dr. Najac and his medical assistant are equally nice and pleasant. They are compassionate and very knowledgeable when I came in for two potentially serious eye complaints. The receptionist, however, is another story. She is condescending and rude. She talks to non-white patients like they are idiots. That's exactly how she was with me each time -- and today. I asked her when is the soonest day I could see Dr. Najac and she told me not until my next appointment in March. This was after she had berated me, insinuating I'm an idiot. I left and checked ZocDoc and scheduled an appointment for this coming Friday. It turns out, she is dishonest too. Or maybe she just isn't fond of non-white patients? She gives this compassionate doctor a bad image.

Back when I first diagnosed, I really loved Dr. Najac. He was a breath of fresh air after visiting a doctor that wanted me to fly to the DR for surgery. Originally, he wanted to monitor the condition, and made me confident in my vision and opted out of surgery. I returned after the pandemic, and though my eyes only changed slightly, he recommended surgery. I also want to disclose that he totally didn’t recognize me and was not familiar with my trajectory during this visit. He treated me like a new patient and even re-introduced himself. Needless to say, I was not confident with his recommendation. I asked him for a referral and paperwork to show any new doctors I may see in my relocation. Not sure what he put on there but I was rushed out of the office after the doctor read the notes on my file. He gives me such a bad feeling, and given my disposition will not change, it hurts to lose faith in a service provider you came to trust during such a hard time. I hope this review saves someone else the trouble.
