Dr. Kelly treated my myopia and astigmatism. Initially came to him to get lasik consultation but come to find out I wasn’t a candidate. Dr. Kelly gave me an option for EVO ICL procedure and I was skeptical at first, but after doing my research and asking him questions I understood that he wasn’t a doctor that is just for business he truly cares for his patients. Had my ICL 2 days ago and next day my vision was perfect. Day of procedure I had lots of foggyness/hazy eyes and glare/halos at night but it’s dramatically subsided the next day. My Version became super sharp and clear. Dr. Kelly if you’re reading this I truly can’t thank you enough for giving me the gift of vision. Truly your hands are magic. I don’t remember having vision like this since early childhood and truly I can’t thank you enough. Your team is great, provided me comfort and support during my surgery as I was super nervous and anxious but their comfort and positive conversations got me though this stressful event. Thank you!

Dr. Handell was very personable and I received the most thorough examine that I ever had. She answered my questions and addressed my concerns. I had a pleasant experience. 👍 …

The office squeezed me in with a same day appointment because they felt I shouldn’t wait. Everyone was extremely nice I’ve never been to a doctor’s office that was this welcoming before. The doctor went over everything with me made sure I understood everything. I would recommend this office to everyone it was a lovely experience. They went above and beyond if I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Thank you, Dr. Schoenbart, for giving my 100 year old dad a new lease on life! His telescopic lenses have been life changing. He is now able to watch TV comfortably and can see in the distance so much better. You and your staff are empathetic to the needs of the patients and have been so patient, kind, helpful and good-natured. Thank you!

Great customer service

I saw Dr. Goldberg in her Mineola office twice within 3 weeks' time span for a headache and intermittent vision loss. She examined my eyes twice, and claimed there's nothing wrong. On her clinical notes from the last visit, she did not take heed of alarm symptoms, described my condition as a low priority, and referred me to a neuro-ophtalmologist with two months' wait time. Three days later, I ended up in a hospital with optic nerve damage and permanent partial vision loss due to the missed diagnosis, because optic disc edema was not noticed 3 days before the permanent vision loss - even though the symptoms persisted for more than a month, and massive swelling was detected at the hospital. She failed to record photographs of the eyes, leaving only written notes (which were incorrect) of the appointment. Stay away from this doctor. Negligent!

I have been a patient of OCLI for about 31/2 years now, primarily with Dr. Gerard D'Aversa and also with Dr. Mariani, and I can't say enough wonderful things about the doctors and the overall practice! Every staff member is focused on you, as the patient, and goes out of their way to accommodate you and help put you at ease. Thank you all for your professionalism, patience and care.

Dr. Donnerfield was friendly, caring and professional. He explained the procedure in lay man's terms and was very reassuring. I was really nervous to get this done and Dr. Donnenfeld and his team really helped to keep me calm and comfortable and trusting of the process. Everyone in the office is professional, kind and patient. Never waited more than 10 minutes for my appointment. I would recommend this place and doctor to everyone.

After having my cataract surgery I recently went to OCLI and was super impressed, probably my best experience ever at an optometrist. Dr. Dana Morschauser-Bruno and her staff were all super friendly and welcoming, and it was the quickest yet most thorough exam I've ever had. She was pleasant and did a good job explaining my surgery results and how my eyes looked. The whole office was very organized too so that I would highly recommend it for sure.

Dr. Kelly and the entire staff at Garden City are amazing and friendly. They are all quick, efficient, warm, and comforting. The LASIK procedure was actually done in 2021, however, I still go back for annual check ups. The staff treat you like family and the environment is great overall. My eyes are better than perfect at 20/15 vision. Side effects, such as dryness, that come with LASIK are gone as of 2023. I'd highly recommend Dr. Kelly and his team!
