Riverdale Ophthalmology

I have been going to Dr. Silverman for over 20 years. She is a wonderful professional- very thorough and talks me through everything so I know what is going on at all times. More than that, she is an incredibly nice and caring person, who is very responsive to my needs. I just had cataract surgery a few days ago. She discussed all of the options with me, and together we found the right one for my eyes. The process was quick and relatively painless, and I am already seeing much better than I have in years. I am getting the other eye done in two weeks and am so excited. Dr. Silverman is a miracle worker and has already allowed me to see things that I've never seen before. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Haller and his staff are fantastic! Today they squeezed me in for an emergency eye exam and he spent a while explaining to me what was going on and how to quickly and simply resolve the intense pain. I’m currently visiting NYC, but would recommend him to anyone local to the area. Well worth it!

The doctor himself is the only good thing about this place. Wait for your appointment after arriving on time is between 1-2 hours in a nauseatingly hot office comparable to a sauna. The assistant who saw me didn't tell me to wash an ultrasound gel off my eye and it gave me a stye just hours after leaving the place, resulting in another visit. So if you can survive the 9th circle of hell to see Dr. Haller, go for it. Maybe the office/staff at the Bronx office is better?

Dr. Silverman is one of the best doctors I have had for my eye care. She is very professional - she is dedicated to your being completely satisfied with her care in a kind and gentle manner. For me it is important to understand what tests I am having and why. Dr. Silverman and her staff take the time to make sure that you do understand what they are doing. Lastly, Dr. Silverman has an eye for talent. From your first encounter scheduling your appointment with Ms. M, to your testing with Ms. B, Mr. K and Mr. A. you will get thoughtful and knowledgeable eye care. I highly recommend Dr. Silverman. Schedule an appointment - you will be very satisfied.

The staff at Dr. Silverman office is courteous. The office is very clean. The first time I met with Dr. Silverman she went out of her way to find me an eye surgeon to assist with my needs. The 2nd time I went was to get a check up. Because during COVID I have not been able to the the surgeon who performed my surgery and I just wanted to make sure everything was looking good. I also wanted a new pair of glasses. Tina was very wonderful in assisting me with finding the perfect pair of glasses. I never had a pair fit so great. She is someone who enjoys her work and her energy spreads to her customers.
