    This was an emergency situation with my left eye. I went to your office ophthalmologist office in Mount Kisco. I could not see out of my left eye so I was scared the people in the Mount Kisco office were very understanding. I got an appointment with Dr. Desai the same day in the Jefferson Valley office. I was very appreciative that! The doctor was very good understanding. Explain my situation and most of all calm me down. My eyesight is getting much better and I have a follow up appointment with the doctor on [omitted].

    he did not understand anything i said. he was confused and disoriented. i've never had a less attentive doctor. i don't understand how he made it this far if he can't remember what the patient just said multiple times

    When I called optum to schedule an appointment with an ophthalmologist regarding my vision impairment I was told that I could not see a MD. Instead, I was referred to an OD who at first told me I had fluid behind the eye. Then, after completing a scan, he told me I did not have fluid and that he had no idea what was wrong with me. He then referred me to a retina specialist and sleep medicine. Thankfully, I was able to see a MD outside of Optum who gave me the correct diagnosis and transferred me urgently to a cornea specialist who saved my vision. Had I been able to see a MD at Optum in the first place, I would have likely been saved from the overwhelming distress due to my visual impairment. It is scary to think what would have happened if I had not received the appropriate treatment outside of Optum.
