Testimonials

"As a LASIK surgeon, I would only trust my eyes to Long Island's best LASIK surgeon: Dr. Eric Donnenfeld. Eric's warm 'bedside manner' combined with his superior surgical skills in LASIK made him the natural choice for my own surgery. I am pleased to report that I now see 20/20 and can now better relate to my own LASIK patients."

Stephanie Becker, M.D.
Ophthalmologist and LASIK Surgeon
