I felt the attention I received, both from Sabrina and Dr. Perdomo, were first class, caring and informative.
Went in today and Dr. Perdomo along with the whole staff were great. High tech facility, comfortable environment, friendly staff, and took my appointment request within 24 hours.
Great service professional and helpful I will recommend it 100%!!!
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Shakir and his team. From my initial consultation through my cataract surgery and follow-up care, I was very impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. The results have been excellent and his recommendations were different from other doctors I met with but I am extremely happy with him, and my vision has improved immensely. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Dr. Shakir to anyone considering cataract surgery.
Always pleased with my visits at Coastal Eye. This time I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Shakir for an on going issue. He answered all my questions and was very patient with me and he explained the procedure he would do to give me comfort.
Excellent care at Coastal Eye
Beautiful office, nice and very knowledgeable staff, thorough exam and they valued my time and concerns. I’m so happy they are local and will be a lifetime patient.
Response from the ownerThank you for this wonderful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the office, felt well cared for, and had a thorough exam. It means a lot to hear that you felt your time and concerns were valued. We truly appreciate you and look forward to caring for you for many years.After several appointments with top NYC cataract surgeons in NYC I had the good fortune of meeting Dr Omar Shakir in Greenwich. There was no question about who I would want to be my surgeon. He has every type of state-of-the-art equipment to be able to carefully evaluate my needs and make sure I had a perfect surgical result. His office is beautiful, his staff are knowledgeable and courteous, and I met with his two associates also. Dr O’Loughlin the dry eye specialist and Dr Perdomo the optometrist. Each making me sure that Coastal Eye was the right place to be for all of my ophthalmic needs.
