Overall, it was a really solid experience. There was some wait time, but it was certainly tolerable. Everyone was helpful and friendly. The doctor is thorough and make sure you fully understand the process and where you stand.

As always, a very thorough exam by Dr. Schlussel and his assistant. I have been going to Dr. S for years and would never trust anyone else with my eye care.

4/24/2013 Kimberly A. New York,NY

Dr. Schlussel and his team are wonderful! I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to see the Doctor, and Dr Schlussel is very thorough. Also love their selection of eyeglass frames!

Great! Very personable and very efficient, I got in and out of there very quickly but thought they did a very thorough job!

Dr. Schlussel was great. He seemed genuinely interested in helping me and providing me a good service, which is hard to find these days with many optometrists just wanting to sell glasses.

3/5/13 Ivan F. New York,NY

 In my experience, Dr. Schlussel is an excellent optometrist. I have been a patient for many years.. The visits to his office are always a pleasure due to his promptness and the professional, friendly office staff.

2/18/2013 Suzanne M.  New York,NY

Wonderful experience. I was referred by VSP and made a same day appointment, I was greeted by a very helpful and professional front end gal, examined by Dr Law and fitted for glasses by your lovely Optician,(Danielle). Very happy with this practice, support staff and I'm sure will love the end product!

Optician was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Dr. Schlussel was equally as professional. Would recommend practice to others.

1/3/2013 Maria G. Westchester,NY

Very professional doctor and staff...and well-equipped office. almost no wait time.

12/19/2012 Vanessa F. New York,NY

Finally found a great eye doctor! I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Schlussel and could not be more pleased. I have pretty bad eye sight so I'm usually very particular on my eye exams, and he was incredibly thorough. I particularly like the fact they conduct retinal scans. Not a lot of optometrists have this machine, but it's able to look to see if you have any abnormalities beyond your vision. I had something that was abnormal in one eye so Dr. Schlussel referred me to a specialist. I'm happy to say I've finally found an optometrist I'm happy with who also has a great and friendly staff.

12/19/2012 Frances D. New York, NY

Long time patient ! I have been going to Dr. Schlussel for years...He is a great optometrist...He cares about his patients which to me is very important...He has a wonderful staff working with him who also are very knowledgable and caring..

It's always a pleasure dealing with the office!

12/11/2012 Nicole R. Pinebrook,NJ

Always have a great experience! I always have a great experience visiting Dr. Schlussel each year for my eye exam, and this time I saw his new Associate (Dr. Christine Law). She was absolutely fantastic, and a great addition to the office!

Nice Experience!  Very nice and knowledgeable staff. Wait time was not very long. Had a very nice experience.

11/4/2012 Sarah S. Queens, NY

Excellent, affordable eye care! I've been a patient of Dr. Schlussel for 10 years, and have always been very satisfied with his services. He is conscientious and thorough,and truly cares about providing me with the best vision correction possible. There are a lot of eye doctors out there more interested in selling expensive eye wear to their patients than in helping them with their vision problems. Dr. Schlussel doesn't do this, which makes him a gem in my book. I highly recommend his services.

11/2/2012 Yasmin A. Brooklyn,NY

Dr. Alan Schlussel is top notch!! Dr. Schlussel is a very kind and caring person. In his profession I consider him to be one of the best. He is very knowledgable; he takes time to explain and answer all your questions in a most friendly and professional manner. His staff are also courteous and friendly, they are accommodating when arranging appointments. Thank you Dr. Schlussel for your concern on our welfare after Hurricane Sandy. God Bless!

10/25/2012 Magda T. Jackson Heights,NY

Dr. Schlussel and his staff are always conscientious, thorough and willing to help me with any vision issues I present to him. I found Dr. Schlussel through my employer's health insurance almost 10 years ago, and while I'm no longer with this employer, I continue to visit Dr. Schlussel every year. I have very poor eyesight, with astigmatism, and Dr. Schlussel has always worked to ensure that I get the best kind of vision correction possible. Unlike previous eye doctors I've visited, Dr. Schlussel has never tried to "sell" me on any type of glasses, contact lenses, vision-correction surgery, etc., even if that means he might not make as much money. He truly cares about taking care of his patient's eyes, and is not swayed by reps from eyeglass or pharmaceutical companies trying to get him to hawk their products. 

As for wait times, the maximum time I've ever waited for an appointment was 30 minutes, which I find in keeping with most medical offices. The pricing is commensurate with most New York City metropolitan area medical professionals, and Dr. Schlussel's office does take many types of insurance. The office staff is friendly and professional. Often, they will work with you to make sure your insurance covers exams and other services. I can't recommend Dr. Schlussel and his team enough; they are truly rare gems in the world of optometry! 

10/17/12 Sue A. New York,NY 

I have been with Dr Schlussel for many many years and I'm still there. He has an excellent staff as well.

10/17/12  Great Doc! Always have a great experience in the office with little wait time and good service. would reccomend to anyone looking for a doctor.

10/13/12 Excellent doctor and office staff!  Good advice, friendly Staff. Always a good experience coming here.

10/03/12  Gayle P.  New York,NY

A wonderful doctor!  Dr. Schlussel is excellent. He is very thorough, reads his lengthy notes from the last visit to compare with his findings on the current visit, asks questions, pays attention to the answers and provides sensible advice for maintaining good eye health. I would recommend him highly. 

10/02/2012 Marcela P.  New York,NY

Fast & efficient ! This eye Dr. Was great. He was fast, direct & to the point. But he also made sure to explain everything clearly

9/19/12 Perry T.  New York,NY

Very Pleasant Experience! I am slowly switching doctors ...I am very pleased that I chose Dr. Schlussel as my optometrist. The office is in a very nice building. The receptionist and assistant are both very friendly. There was a bit of a wait, but that is true of any doctor's office, and actually for New York, the wait wasn't that bad . Both the assistant and Dr. Schlussel are kind, professional, and have a great "bedside manner." Like a lot of people, I am not wild about having things near my eyes or having people touch my eyes, but they are very calming and gentle, and I felt very well taken care of. The optician was very informative and helpful. I ended up using my old frames, but she gave me a lot of information about the wide variety of frames they have available. All in all - a great doctor and very personalized service from everyone. Am very happy with my selection and hope to be a lifelong patient!

9/18/12 Eileen K. New York,NY

Excellent! Great experience, punctual, good staff

8/7/12 William S. Bronx,NY

Seeing the Best!  For almost 25 years Dr. Schlussel has been my eye doctor! He is always personable, always professional, a good communicator, and continually staying up on the best practices in the field of eye care. I would enthusuastically recommend him to anyone who is looking to take care of the precious gift of sight!

8/6/12 Megan E. New York,NY

Best Eye Exam I've ever had!! I saw Dr. Schlussel for the first time last month. He and his staff took real care to answer my questions and spend some time with me. In addition to giving me the most comfortable eye exam ever, they worked with me to find a solution to my insurance situation. (I love that they've moved on to the latest thing in glaucoma testing, so that I don't have to weep through the air puff test. Similarly, they have moved beyond the dilation test, replacing it with a retinal imaging system, so you don't have to walk around wearing sunglasses indoors for the next six hours--awesome.) I'm recommending Dr. Schlussel to all my friends and family in the city.

8/1/12 Cathy W.  Brooklyn,NY
EZ-PEEZIE! Dr. Schlussel covers all ground, keeps great records, answers all questions, and takes time with you.

7/27/2012 Karen G. New York,NY

Thorough and Caring!  Dr. Schlussel has been my optometrist for years and I'm so extremely happy with him and his team! I saw him this week and he personally called me to follow-up on a question I had. Nowadays this level of service/care is a rarity...

7/25/2012 Amanda L. East Meadow,NY

Wonderful visit!  I went to Dr. Schlussel for a bit of an eye emergency. My sisters wedding is in 3 days and he took care of it and there has been no swelling or sign that I ever had anything disruptive! Thanks, Dr. Schlussel.

7/24/2012  Susan R. Brooklyn,NY 

Great experience, as always from loyal patient. As usual my visit at Dr. Schlussel's was great! I have been going to this office for  7 years and the staff is AMAZING and extremely kind. Thank you Dr. Schlussel and your entire staff. The two ladies at the front desk are very nurturing, I almost feel as if they are family, very sincere. Thanks so much!

Great Local Eye Doctor! Dr. Schlussel was very professional, incorporates latest technology in his practice, and it was easy to make appointment. The advice and care that i received was definitely what I was looking for. I appreciate the time he spent talking with me about the type of contacts I needed... I wasn't rushed in and out, which is often a reality at some of the retail shops that offer eye exams.

7/12/2012  Anonymous New York,NY

Helpful Staff!! Ana is so helpful it's unbelievable! I had to reschedule due to trains running slow from uptown and she corresponded with me via email to make sure I had enough contacts to make it to my annual appointment.

Great Eye Doctor!  I've been seeing Dr. Schlussel for about seven years now I think and it has been a consistently good experience. His waiting room is always full but I've never had to wait more than ten minutes; things run very smoothly and professionally. Friendly staff, smart doctor. Happy to recommend.

6/12/2012  Connie W.  College Point, NY

Dr. Schlussel is awesome!  When I decided to go see Dr. Schlussel, I didn't know that he was such an awesome doctor. I just needed to see any doctor for some follow up visits after Lasik. Dr. Schlussel is very nice, thorough, knowledgeable, and informative. He really takes a genuine vested interest in his patients. Highly recommended!

6/6/2012 Deborah L. Bronx,NY

Long term great experience!!  Dr. Schlussel has been my optometrist for twenty-five years and, from the outset, I have always found him to be exceptionally thorough, patient and genuinely concerned. He is always receptive to addressing any and all questions I may have. Obviously, I think very highly of him or I would not have continued seeing (no pun!) him all these years. 

6/5/2012 Mary C. New York,NY

Great Experience ! Dr. Schlussel was very kind and knowledgeable. I recently moved to the city and had a bad experience with a different doctor and this experience was completely the opposite.

5/9/2012 Anonymous  New York, NY

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!

4/19/2012  Thomas F.  Manhasset, New York

Quick and Friendly! They got me in the office quickly, they were very knowledgeable regarding what my insurance offered and the Dr was very friendly, helpful and thorough.

4/17/2012 Kerry J. New York, NY

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.

4/12/12 Louis A. Nesconset, NY

Great Annual Exam!  Dr. Schlussel's annual exams are always a very thorough and pleasant experience. His staff is also very efficient and courteous. A great experience all the way around.

Great and on time!  Dr. Schlussel was right on time for my appointment - the whole process took about 30 minutes and he had me on my way. Very nice guy, and willing to answer questions and give you the best option for your health AND budget. Highly recommended

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.

4/5/12 John A. New York,NY

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!

3/27/2012  Sonia L.  Jackson Hts,NY 

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! 

3/21/2012 Karen E.   Brooklyn, NY

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.  

3/16/2012 Marielena S. New York, NY

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

3/14/2012 Dorothy N. New York, NY

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.

2/22/2012 Jeff G. Queens, NY

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.

2/16/2012 Anonymous

Great Experience!Entire staff was personable and thorough. I felt comfortable and welcome. It's great that I could register online and that there's a comprehensive online appointment scheduling system. I will be back for a check up next year without worry!

Superb Professional! Excellent practitioner who is oriented to meeting his patients needs. Thoroughly explains each procedure and patiently discusses the results. He exudes confidence and is able to quickly alleviate his patient's anxieties or concerns. He is a true professional.

1/18/2012 Sarah G New York, NY

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.

1/12/12 Jennifer C. Brooklyn, NY

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.

May 25,2011 From: Kimberly A., Manhattan

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+
