Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD

Dr. Eric Donnenfeld is a world-class leader in ophthalmology, particularly in refractive cataract surgery, corneal procedures (including crosslinking) and laser vision correction such as LASIK and PRK. I have entrusted him with the care of my own friends and colleagues in the New York area, and he has consistently delivered outstanding, life-changing results. What sets Dr. Donnenfeld apart is not just his surgical mastery but also his dedication to teaching and innovation. As one of the foremost authorities on anterior segment surgery, he lectures at major conferences throughout the year and remains at the cutting edge of new techniques and technologies. Patients regularly remark on his professionalism, warmth and the clear communication he provides throughout the process. Simply put, if you are considering refractive or corneal surgery, you couldn't be in better hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Donnenfeld for anyone seeking exceptional care and world-leading expertise.

I want to take a moment to thank Dr. Donnenfeld and his team for restoring my vision. Dr. Donnenfeld is not only the best around, having experience and expertise beyond compare but also his talents go far beyond that. He takes the time to explain what's going on and what will be done. He also understands what is best for you on a personal basis, optimizing the outcome for you. He exudes professionalism and provides you with confidence and reassurance that you are receiving the best care possible. Every once in a while you run into someone far and away the best at what they do. Someone who impacts lives and the associated quality of life in people every day. Dr Donnenfeld is one of those people and I am thankful to be one of his patients.

Exceptional results! Dr. Donnenfeld and his team made what I thought was impossible, possible. The overall LASIK process (pre and post op) was very seamless. My vision gets clearer everyday and I feel great. So grateful and thankful! I100% recommend Dr. Donnenfeld and his team. Thank you!!

Dr. Donnenfeld was recommended to me by several friends. I needed cataract surgery in both eyes. I had the procedure done in both eyes and Dr Donnenfeld far exceeded all the accolades that were conveyed to me. He has a fantastic manner and genuinely enjoys his work. And I cannot tell you how impressed I was as he performed both procedures. Its a day after my 2nd procedure and everything is crystal clear. I dont need my glasses to drive. I personally can be a bit demanding as a business owner, as I do my best for my clients. But never ONCE did I feel I was not getting the best care by the best Doctor. He has my 100% endorsement!!

Went to him about 5 years ago to fix the lens that was placed in my right eye in 1993. During the procedure he dropped the lens behind my eye. By the look of the black and blue surrounding my eye he must of had to do a lot of digging to retrieve it. Had to go back for a second surgery to stop the bleeding behind the eye and to try again to reposition the lens. Needless to say that didn't work. Went yet again for the 3rd surgery where he was going to put a new lens in. Dr. Donnenfeld specifically stated to my husband and I when I come back the next day he wanted to see me personally. I should of realized at that time it was a joke because I didn't hear him during the surgery. When I returned the next day and stated to the attending doctor that he wanted to see me I was told sarcastically that he was in a meeting and I could wait around until the meeting was over which will be later that afternoon. I only lived 2 hours from the office! I left the office, never to return and eyesight worse than before. I have since moved to Indiana where I have been lucky to find outstanding eye surgeons who have done cataract surgery on my left eye and guess what? I can see. I have also gone through 3 more surgeries in the right eye, glaucoma and a cornea transplant. My surgeon is amazing. He is competent and genuinely caring of my situation. He went out of his way to squeeze me in 2 days after my surgery since he was going on vacation the next week and wanted to evaluate the situation himself. It is rather sad to see how the supposed success of doctors change them into uncaring doctors and make you feel like a number, not a human being! I believe success went to Dr. Donnenfelds head!

I had cataract surgery with another doctor in the practice who was very good but she was not able to minimize my astigmatism enough to give me 20/20 vision. She sent me to see Dr Donnenfeld and he did a simple LRI procedure with the Donnenfeld Diamond knife and my vision improved instantly. If it doesn't improve to the level the doctor and I are happy with he said he will repeat the procedure. He's like an eye magician!

Although Dr. Donnenfeld is recognized as America's top eye surgeon, what truly sets him apart is his kindness. He genuinely cares about his patients. He remains patient and attentive, no matter how many concerns you bring to him. For 25 years, he has treated me with unwavering care and compassion. He is truly one of a kind, and I am deeply grateful for him.

From the moment I met Dr Donnenfeld I knew he was perfect Dr for me! Dr Donnenfeld patiently answered all my questions and he could tell I was very nervous for my upcoming cataract surgery. On the day of my surgery, I met with Dr. Donnenfeld, and he assured me that he would take very good care of me which he did. I have 20/20 vision in my eyes and I am so so happy. Dr. Donnenfeld and his assistants, Anjali and Lakeyanna are amazing! From the first visit to my last I felt like a VIP!! Thank you again Dr Donnenfeld!!!!!
