Ophthalmic Consultants Of Long Island

I have never written a review before; but I found it necessary, since these are our eyes we’re talking about. Im going on my second week of seeing blurry from kne eye. I went to the Hauppauge OCLI. I had discharge in my eye and cloudiness in the eye, first thing in the morning. Dr Werner never explained what steps he was taking and what i should expect. All he said was he would habe to do a probing.. I literally had to ask himif he can explain to me in lament terms. He puts drops in my eye no explanation of what he was doing. Them came with a small needle poking into my eye lid; does not worn me fluid was going to go up my sinus and down my throat. Chat GPT explained to me the drops iwere to numb my eye lid, and the probing was to clear tesr ducts. Well two weeks later and i still have discharge. And now tear from eye all day. I find out I had conjunctivitis.. from another dr office.. Now to see what damage this dr did to me.

2 weeks ago got 5/5/26 appointment for cataract surger initial checkup . When I’m was checking in . They said cataract surgeon not in and they have to schedule new one . They are talking like a my fault to came wrong day . Nasty person blamed me to not understand her .

Let see , How it’s goes.

10🌟review for Dr Werner and his friendly staff. I unexpectedly had developed a chalazion on my upper right eyelid at the time of my LASIK touch up consultation. Dr Werner was an incredible help, prescribed the proper eye drops and saw me back a week later to treat this nuisance of a cyst. The procedure was painless with significant improvement once drained. Dr Werner and his staff were compassionate and professional, exceeding patient satisfaction and care. I will be back to see Dr Werner to proceed forward with the LASIK touch up as I trust this doctor for his expertise and quality care. Thanks Dr Werner, you are The Best!😃Diana

The doctor and medical staff were great, in and out of my appointment quickly, clean, nice office. I was told about a copay when I got there which is completely normal, but when I asked for my prescription after the appointment they said I had to pay an additional $50 for it which was the weirdest thing. I paid for it because I needed it, but won't be going back here again. I felt like they tricked or scammed me and I left with a terrible feeling.

After wearing glasses my entire life and my wife encouraging me I finally decided to get a consultation for lasik correction surgery. I arrived to my appointment ten minutes early only to wait 45 minutes to be seen. Then after a few screenings and tests I met the doctor who explained the lasik process to me. I was concerned about my eligibility with my high pressure in my eyes. I was reassured that I can absolutely get the procedure. So they took their “lasik measurements” and charged me 100$. So I expected to schedule the surgery. After I paid I was informed that I need to come back for a “follow up” to check my pressure after using their prescribed eye drops before a surgery can be scheduled. I had to retake numerous tests and screenings during these “follow ups” because they misplaced the results from prior visits. After 5-6 visit ( I can’t remember exactly how many times I went back) which I was charged a copay and insurance was billed everytime and saw the doctor for all of about 1 minute at most just to tell me my eye pressures were good, I got so disgusted and aggravated i decided not to pursue the surgery with this facility. It got to the point I was back there for the requested “follow ups” so frequently that the assistant who took me in the back asked “what are you doing back here? Weren’t you just here?” To which I replied “that’s a good question”. Imagine if I had complications? They would charge me every follow up. This company is all about money. I know doctor practices are businesses but this was a whole new level. I could never trust my eye sight to a practice run like this. Paying co pay after co pay after co pay for what was to be an elective surgery is not right. Especially after I paid for the procedure in full. This entire experience with this practice was disappointing.
