Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terribly run office and unacceptable waiting times
The first time I went I waited for 90 minutes to be seen. This time, after 40 minute wait, the very unfriendly woman at the front desk said there were 2 patients before me. That would have been probably another 45 minutes of waiting. As a physician for 40 years, these wait times are unacceptable and show no concern for the patients of this office. I left and will find another eye doctor

The visit is very very bad when I took my mom for eye exams, the staff was not nice and they shall be thrown out of the job and shutting down Nassau Ophthalmology Associates when we try Blue Cross Blue Shield and charge a vision screening for $190.00. We will never go there again and the service sucks when the staff made people take their own risks.

I absolutely highly recommend Dr. Margulis! Though a busy office, the quality of the exam is worth the wait. I am from Suffolk County and feel the miles traveled are well worth it. He is knowledgeable, thorough, explains procedures, personable and spends the necessary time with you. If a referral is necessary, you can be assured it will be to a top doctor, as in my case for my Keratoconus.

Knowledgeable, answers questions patiently and explains the various tests. His manner was gentle but direct with my 86 year old uncle.
