Dr Ferrone is absolutely brilliant. I am not often one to leave a review but it’s a small price to pay in trade for what I believe he has done for my 3yo son… which was saving his vision from what could have been blindness from where we started with a very bleak prognosis. Long story short my son’s situation was a unique one. A scary one. Multiple laser surgeries later the kid can spot baby ants on the counter that I even have a hard time to find. Great doctor and good man overall. Cares about his patients.Patient Submitted Review

To start, you should know that I am picky. Very picky. So, if I write a positive review – jump on it. For the first time, On Wednesday, December 28, 2022, I was under the care of Dr. Philip Ferrone. The doctor that takes care of me, Dr. David Fastenberg, was not available, so I called my regular eye-doctor, Dr. Norman Reinach, who is a close friend of mind, and he recommended that I should see Dr. Ferrone. I found Dr. Ferrone to be warm, friendly, and of course, professional. Not rigid. Not playing being a doctor – but a human being, who cares about my health and well-being. Side note: the entire staff that I encountered with, is warm and friendly (this was my 22nd visit). ARNONPatient Submitted Review

I noticed a rapid loss of vision in my right eye and was referred to Dr. Ferrone who diagnosed a macular hole in my retina, stage 3 (with stage 4 being the worst) . Surgery was recommended to repair the hole, sooner rather than later. Dr. Ferrone performed the surgery, which completely repaired the eye with restoration of vision considerably better than before the surgery. At every step of the way, before surgery and during follow-up visits, everything was very clearly explained. I consider Dr. Ferrone’s skills miraculous. He, his associated doctors, and staff at Long Island Vitreo-Retinal Consultants are all highly professional and also kind and very considerate. I highly recommend Dr. Ferrone.Patient Submitted Review
