I just had my third strabismus correction surgery (1^st with Dr Eric) in March 2015 at age 23. Dr Eric couldn’t have been more accommodating and his bedside manner is excellent… incredibly nice, explains things in easy to understand language, and truly cares about his patients. My eyes healed quickly and beautifully… with minimal eye redness post-​op. I highly, highly recommend Dr Eric!

I came here because my kids had gotten letters from their school. So I decided to find the best of the best, and I stumbled upon this place; making appointments over the phone are very easy. They make special appointments for siblings to do the exams together. This place is very clean the way an office should be. Toys and books were kept very organized for the children to play with. Paper work took about 10 minutes, which is fairly quick. I was in an out of here within an 1hr, they are very professional & explain thoroughly. My kids were comfortable & the rooms are designed with your children in mind. There is also a connected place where your kids can pick out their own pair of glasses if needed. Parents look no further, this place is amazing.

Dr Lichtenstein was recommended by Dr. hirshfield office I’m 34 and in the last three years my right eye turned outward. I hated it I never would make eye contact with people when I would talk to them. I would kind of dart my eye around if they would eye at me too long. I used to talk about having this surgery but was a lil apprehensive. Then one day I was talking to my good friend and he said if it bother you that much go ahead to do it. Right then I started to do my research and viewed many youtube video about strabismus and people personal struggle and how they over come when they did surgery. When I showed up my dr Lichtenstein fresh meadows office the ladies were polite and helpful even though it was a pediatric setting I was ok because I heard he is the best. When I enter he did a array of test and asked plenty of questions and as well as answered mine. The visit took a while but I was fine because I felt I was in good hands from the start. The dr mention to me that the surgery was not 100% guaranteed and I was ok with that. I told him that I work at a school and he ask me if I was up yo do surgery the day after Christmas and I was like yes. I like that he thought about my time off for healing I would have 12 days off for the holiday. The surgery was about 5 weeks after the appointment. He said if I needed more time to let him know. I didn’t feel pressured or rushed into surgery.
The day of surgery it went well my surgery was an success no double vision no pain just what I expected red eyes and swollen. Which I knew because of watch videos of people getting it done and their recovery and the dr told me. Now it has been 3 weeks and I’m satisfied I can look people in their eyes and not feel ashamed of my look. I thank dr Lichtenstein and his team for bringing back my pretty face. I would recommend Dr Lichtenstein to anyone who suffers from strabismus.

Dr. Lichtenstein is an absolute sweet heart. My daughter has been going to him since she’s 4 years old. She’s 13 now. About 5 years ago the doctor told us that my daughter Julia’s eyes were healed and she didn’t need glasses anymore. So that meant that we didn’t need to go back anymore. She was just beside herself. She wasn’t happy. He did tell us that her condition can return as she gets older. We’ll he was right on. It did. My daughter is happy as a pig in mud. Lol. She gets glasses and gets to see Dr. Lichtenstein every 6 months. He’s so good with kids. When she was little she loved that he called her Julia petulia. She remembered that. And sure enough he did too. He called her that at her visit. I adore him. His staff is very nice too. We need to acknowledge the good people do not only the bad. I highly recommend this wonderful pediatric ophthalmologist to anyone!

I had a great experience at Pediatric Eye MD. Everything just worked out so well. I had really bothersome and embarrassing case of strabismus for a couple of years. Under recommendation from Dr. Kupersmith and my sister, I went to see Dr. Lichtenstein with high hopes. I prefer to rely on family and friend recommendations and both my bother-​in-​law & nephew were treated by Dr. Lichtenstein with great results.
All my appointments were pretty quick. The only «slow» appointment was the first one since I was a new patient & the first exams are thorough & detailed to establish the problem and baselines. Compared to other first appointments, I found this appointment very fast. Every other appointment at Pediatric Eye MD were speedy and to the point. I really appreciated Dr. Lichtenstein fitting me in short notice for my follow-​up & license renewal. Knocking out two bird with one stone.
All doctors at Peds Eye MD were great. Dr. Lichtenstein was fantastic. Explained the problem I had in detail, answered all my questions and even showed me a video the procedure I was getting. I like knowing exactly what I’m getting myself into. I really appreciated Dr. Lichtenstein’s animated personality, it made me feel ease & lightened the mood. He didn’t want to give my hopes up, so under promised but delivered so more. I don’t have to wear those embarrassing prisms anymore. So grateful.
Overall, I’d have to highly recommend Pediatric Eye MD. Had a great experience and wish I had taken care of this so much sooner.
