Ordered Contacts! Great Experience! After speaking with one of Dr. Schlussel's assistants, Sarah, I was able to quickly confirm my insurance and order contacts since they kept all my information on file. They came in two business days! I was expecting at least a week. She was so nice to deal with and I can not believe how quickly my new contacts were delivered!

Great Experience! Going to see Dr. Schlussel is always a pleasant experience. I do not really like seeing doctors in general so this is fairly high praise from me. He is easy to talk to and ask questions of. And he cares about how a patient's vision needs fit into their lifestyle.

Follow up Appointment. Very good service!!!!! The minute I arrived, I was called in right away; the best thing is that they email me a remainder within one day of my appointment and I was able to confirm my appointment thru this way, is very nice.

Excellent Exam as usual!!! I went in for my usual yearly checkup & needed a field of vision & color blind test for my job. When I mentioned this to Dr. Schlussel he said no problem! I find the office to be very clean & run very very professionaly by Sabina the effervescent office manager! I can't wait until my visit there next year!

Awesome Eye Doctor! They are very professional and although I did not confirm my appt. they still squeezed me in. They do a very in depth eye exam. If you have any questions they are ready to answer and are not pushy for you to buy their eyewear. They are just great!

Though I was sad to leave my former optometrist, I am happy to report that Dr. Alan Schlussel is a great and confident, patient-oriented doctor. He is extremely thorough in explaining his practices and procedures as well as my test results. Look forward to having him as my new doctor.

Excellent service-orientated doctor's office! Great doctor and staff. Dr. Alan Schlussel is kind and extremely informative. Always a good experience

Dr. Schlussel is a very good optometrist in Murray Hill, who has a professional staff that moves you through your eye exam very efficiently, but with the feeling that you are being cared for and not "processed." He also has a licensed optician on staff who goes out of her way to make sure you are fitted with the right eyeglasses--so you can get your annual check ups done and choose from a very wide selection of glasses in one visit. I also have not had to wait very long to schedule an appointment and every time I have called, I get a real person on the other end of the line - not an automated menu - another advantage his practice has.

Great Doctor, Great Experience! First of all, I had a horrible experience at a Cohen's last year; Dr S gave me a more thorough exam, which resulted in a much more accurate prescription (both eyes are not the same) and while I saw that he does sell/make glasses he gladly emailed me a copy of my scrip so I could forward it right to my optician.

New to Contacts!Yesterday I had an eye exam for my first pair of contacts. Although my appointment was at 3 I was not seen until 3:45. However, it was well worth the wait. Dr. Schlussel was patient and extremely thorough. He answered all of my concerns and then some. His team was all very receptive and helpful in teaching me how to insert my first pair of contacts. I would 100% recommend Dr. Schlussel to new patient.

Friendly Doctor and Staff!
Dr. Schlussel is a very friendly doctor, and he always talks through all of the options. On my recent visit, with new insurance, his staff even found out I had additional coverage that I didn't know about!

Great Contact Lens/Glasses Appointment!
Dr. Schlussel was knowledgable, friendly and caring. I had an appointment on a Tuesday afternoon, and I was seen quickly. I would highly recommend Dr. Schlussel as he demonstrated a clear understanding of all things eyes and walked me through the whole process.

Excellent Doctor!
I have been a patient of Dr. Schlussel since 1987 and I wouldn't trust my eyes to any other doctor. He is wonderful, caring and takes the time to explain each procedure during the exam.

Very Helpful! I moved to the city about 5 months ago and needed a new eye doctor after doing some research i went to Dr Schlussel. He was extremely helpful in diagnosing my dry eye problem and fixing it. He is setting me up with contacts that will help my eyes. He is very nice and professional.

Dr. Schlussel, great eyedoc
I came to Dr. Schlussel because my contact lenses have been problematic. He has been very patient with trying to solve my issues, even working through his lunch break. I would recommend Dr. Schlussel because he does not hurry you through and really wants to solve problems you might have.

Best Optometrist in NY/NJ!
I have been seeing Dr. Schlussel for over 3 years now, in both his West Orange and New York offices. It was a relief to know that I wouldn't have to compromise my eye care and stop seeing Dr. Schlussel after moving back in the city, since he's got an office in Murray Hill! I highly recommend Dr. Schlussel as your optometrist - You can't find another more qualified, caring, diligent and sincere doctor in the tri-state.
8/19/2011 Joan T. New York, NY
I have been a patient with Dr. Schussel since the 1990's. I particularly like the ambience of the office, the high tech equipment, and the thoroughness of Schussel. Sara the office manager is great! Very polite, professional and sensitive to the needs of patients. She's knowledgeable and expresses kindness both over the phone and in person. Dr. Schlussel thank you for taking care of my eye care needs.
8/11/11 Devon M. New York, NY
Exceptional Care!!
Let me start by saying I don't usually leave feedback but Dr. Schlussel is nothing short of exceptional. He is thorough, informative and takes his time. I called on a Wednesday was able to get an appt the next day. Came for a routine eye exam and thanks to Dr. Schlussel and his state-of-the-art equipment I stand a good chance of saving the vision in my right eye. He diligently referred me to a specialist and now I'm scheduled for surgery today. Again, Dr. Schlussel and his staff are amazing but I might be bias as you don't come across many people that could possibly saved you from blindness.
8/9/11 Gee L. New York,NY
Very professional and thorough! Dr. Schlussel was very thorough during my examination. He explained each step of the process and gave me specific information to help with after care. There was a balance of warmth and professionalism during my visit that I appreciated greatly. I would recommend seeing Dr. Schlussel for any eye care concerns.

Dr. Alan Schlussel is a credit to his field, knowledgeable, and kind. He is always willing to take the time to answer all questions, and explain why certain test/exams are needed or not needed. He keeps his practice current and up to date with the lastest technology to better access and treat the eye. As a patient for more than 20 years, I highly recommend him for total eye care. Also the staff at 33rd Street is wonderful, great to work with.

Great office! I've been going to this office for years and always have a great experience. I usually never wait more than 10 minutes (which is pretty darn good for NYC). Dr Schlussel and his staff are fantastic and friendly. Great frame selection too!
May 18,2011 From: Carol L. ,Manhattan
The most thorough exam I've every had! After having been to an ophthalmologist one month previously (where I left confused and wondering why my right eye was blurry) and told to return in a year, I took matters in my own hands and called Dr. Schlussel for an optometrist exam. Within 5 minutes Dr. Schlussel diagnosed the problem, gave me a referral to get the problem taken care of and then proceeded to give me the most thorough eye exam I've every had! He is also one of the most personable doctors I've known.

As usual, my experience at Dr. Schlussel's office was very pleasant. Dr. Schlussel is extremely professional, knowledgeable and thorough and very careful in his examination. His Assistant is very kind and polite as are the staff at reception. Ms. Krasnov, Optician, is very nice and has a large selection of frames and can obtain anything one requires. All in all, an A+

Hope for the Hopeless! I thought I would never be able to see without blurred vision, much less be able to wear contacts without my eyes turning "devil red," again. I had been going to another eye clinic and developed a problem out of nowhere. There were no effective interventions. The diagnosis and situation weren't logical, I wasn't being heard, and I was basically told I had a condition I would have to live with for the rest of my life. After countless appointments and eight months later I got fed up. I looked online for a doctor that effectively treats "dry eye" and I found Dr. Schlussel. He was very thorough and really listened to me (a dying practice in medicine these days). He told me he knew the problem and had a plan. His diagnosis was spot-on and something I had suspected but had never been heard. He was wonderful at taking the time to review my treatment plan and has given me hope that my vision will improve (already has in just a couple of days) and I'll be able to see clearly AND wear contacts again!
