I love the Haller Doctors. They detected retinal holes and made sure it was treated immediately. I had no symptoms at all. They were thorough and complete and explained things very well. The retina doctor said they totally saved my vision. Thank god for such a complete exam! I fully trust them with my kids and elderly parents too. Staff is amazing!

Dr. Haller and his sons are by far the best doctors around. They take their time with every patient. They do intense testing on everyone and I don't mind waiting an extra 30 minutes so I can get more tests. I always walk out of there confident that nothing was missed. If you want a quick in and out without a complete exam, and if you don't care if anything is missed, then why see a doctor at all? They are truly amazing

They were extremely friendly at the front desk and respectful. The doctors are amazing and thorough. You will never have such a thorough exam like you do here. I saw 2 eye doctors prior to this one, and those other doctors missed the fact I had diabetes damage in my eyes. Dr. Haller not only explained it to me in simple terms, but also showed me my photos of my actual retina and explained it so well. I never felt rushed. Great staff and wonderful Physicians.

Amazing, nice and brilliant doctor. I had red eyes over and over again. Dr. Haller decided to do bloodtests and he diagnosed me with Toxoplasmosis, which I have never even heard of. Have you? Its amazing that he diagnosed me after one visit with something super-rare, when 3 other eye doctors at other locations said it was pink eye and treated me with 8 eye drops total, without success. Now my eyes are pearly white. Incredible! Staff is so nice too.

Dr. Haller is very very thorough and does a more complete exam than you will ever have. I dont know why all eye doctors aren't this complete. He is knowledgeable and very nice. Staff is very sweet and skilled. Front desk is so nice. They are amazing eye doctors and the hi tech office makes you confident in their skills. They are great with both adults, kids and elderly. I see why they are ranked #1 in Queens

Dr. Melvin takes care of multiple family members and friends. He is the TOP name when speaking to other doctors about who is the best in Queens. They always say Dr. Melvin Haller. Office is amazing, Staff and front desk are super sweet and knowledgable. I never had a problem there, ever! They are awesome. Equipment and testing are state of the art. I highly highly recommend for kids and adults!

Booked for 1pm appointment, arrived 10 minutes early, and waited an hour. 40 minutes into waiting, I asked when I might be seen, and the receptionist said, You just got here! No apology, just hat. The waiting room was completely filled with people. Clearly they just schedule lots of people regardless of actual availability.

It was the worst. 1 hr 40 min initial wait, so had to go feed my 2 hrs meter. Then without ever being asked what I was there for I got an eyeglass prescription and not a word. So I said I don't need this I came for contact lenses. Oh I don't do that, the doctor said the girls will take care of you. Well I will cut it short, the girl would not take the same insurance I handed over originally and which covers contact lenses. Then they gave wrong price info on top and wrong type of lense.
