Ocular Physicians Associates

I highly recommend this office! I had PRK eye surgery here with Dr. Belardo 8 years ago, and it was a great experience. Now I see Dr. Patel for my yearly eye exams, as well as any appointments I need in between. He is excellent at what he does, incredibly patient, and always takes the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. I truly appreciate the care and attention he provides. I highly recommend both the doctors and the entire office!

I met Dr. Belardo on the day of my lasik surgery appt. He came in and did a very thorough evaluation of my eyes and was very transparent about the condition and health of my corneas. He said he would not do lasik on my eyes because In his professional opinion my corneas were not healthy enough to move forward with the surgery and he suggested I see another eye surgeon whether it was him or another Dr. for a second opinion. Dr. Belardo has his own private practice and I got the information from the lasik facility so that I could make an appointment with him and see what my options were. He could have very easily done the lasik and went on about his day but his honesty, his caring nature and the fact that he did not try to sell me on his private practice was the deciding factor. I made the appointment with him a month later went through extensive eye tests and he decided it was best that I have a specific surgery first to flatten out my corneas, as well as a month long regimen of fish oil, eye drops and heat packs on my eyes to prevent them from being dry. Dr. Patel is the other eye specialist in his office and I’ve seen him multiple times for my follow-ups and he is knowledgeable and kind as well and I followed his instructions to a T on how to improve my eye health. They both understood the importance of my vision because my job requires extensive and tedious work and my vision was interfering with my job performance. My eyes were finally healthy enough to begin the cataract and lens implant surgery. The staff was kind and patient which made me feel at ease during the whole process. I now have had both eyes done and I’ve not relied on readers at all. My eyes are still adjusting but this has been a life altering decision and I wouldn’t trust my vision to anyone but Dr. Belardo, Dr. Patel and his amazing staff. They are honest, professional, knowledgeable, patient but most of all I trust them with my vision.

I have had lens replacement surgery on both of my eyes. Everything seems to be awesome so far. I want to thank Dr. Belardo, Dr. Patel, Teresa, and the entire staff for taking great care of me. You are an awesome team and I will definitely recommend you. Thank you for everything.

Big thanks to the office staff, assistants, and Teresa. Dr. Patel was awesome. He explained and assured me with kindness regarding the procedure and I found comfort. I was a little nervous at first. But it went smoothly. Looking forward to the next procedure with Dr. Belardo.

I have been treated with so much kindness from the team as well as Dr. Balardo and Dr. Patel. I even got my picture with Dr Labrador before surgery. My husband and I both are telling others about our wonderful experience. Thank you all.
