Brian Campolattaro's Online Review Report Card

I met with Dr Campolattaro, in his NYC office. He took his time to examine my eyes. He explained in detail what he would be able to do to help me. We made an appointment to do my eye surgery a month later. Surgery was 100% successful!! I 100% recommend Dr Campolattaro.

For us, this was a 3 star experience solely because of the looong waits in Dr. C's office. Anywhere from 1.5 hr to 3 hrs. Every single time. Yes, it is true that Dr. C sees many patients with serious problems and he sometimes needs to stay in the operating room longer than planned. I get all that.However, his office is should be more straightforward when accepting new patients. They should tell you that waits are long. In fact they should tell you they only see patients with serious problems. For rudimentary needs, they should refer you to another doctor. Surely Dr. C is not short of patients so they can afford to do this. It is only fair! My time is not any less valuable than Dr. C's time so you have to respect my time as well. And with these long waits, that respect is not there. For that, this practice gets ZERO STARS.The only reason I gave it 3 stars is, obviously Dr. C is a very good doctor. Even if he doesn't spend a lot of time with you (because my son doesn't have very serious problems) and even if it is a bit hard to follow his speech, it is very easy to recognize his immense expertise and experience. His demeanor with kids is great. I can only imagine how helpful he must have been to many with more serious vision issues. For us who are lucky to have been blessed with less serious vision issues, there are many other top doctors in the city who offer a better experience from the wait room to the examination room. In the end, we decided to say bye bye to Dr. C and switch. Our time is better used elsewhere where waits are no more than 30 min. and we get more of the doctor's time. Our slot with Dr. C can be used by another patient who has more serious needs. This practice can avoid these bad reviews by defining their service area and target group of patients better.

Not for the Doctor but for office staff. Got a referral from primary Doctor but reception would not make appointment for my child telling me that can see a local optometrist because he is 14 teen years old.

Very intelligent, experienced, and attentive doctor. While some doctors can seem intimidating, I feel so calm and confident when going for a check up! He has performed two of the three surgeries I had to undergo and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

We waited 90 minutes for a visit that lasted 5 minutes. The staff were rude and discourteous.

Be prepared to wait for 90 minutes before he sees you. The office is crowded and the staff are unwelcoming and unhelpful.

Doctor Brain compolattaro is a wonderful kind , soft spoken eye surgeon.. with many qualities about him amen d each and every patient, altho they book to many people at the same day makes it hard to be totally happy.. lI wish he had his own office here in Elmwood Park NJ.. But I love him for his excellent experience with him alone..

Yes you wait but he is an extraordinary surgeon and compassionate doctor. So happy I chose him to perform my surgery and would recommend to everyone.

I went to this doctor highly recommended by my pediatrician. When we walked into the waiting room there were a ton of people and I asked how long the wait would be to which they replied 3-4 hours. I was not told this over the phone and was shocked since I have two year old that would now miss a nap and her lunch. After we waited for an hour I told the receptionist I was going to wait outside and go change her diaper. The restroom had no changing station. She let me know she would tell me if they call our name. When I came back in and asked she said they hadn't called us. After another 20 mins I checked with the nurse and it turns out they actually had called us. Instead of the receptionist apologizing she blamed everyone else (the person setting up the appt, the 188 patients) anyone but herself even though she said she would listen for our name. After that we waited another 15 mins to be called back. They dilated my daughter and told us they would call after 45 mins when they were ready. They did not call and after an hour I had to call to see what was going on. No apologies again just told to come in in another fifteen minutes. After waiting since 11:45 am. We finally got called back at 3:30 at which point we were told we were next. While sitting in a second waiting area I overheard the nurse say that another patient needs to be seen before us at the doctors request. I don't care how "amazing" this doctor apparently this. The wait is ridiculous and I can get the same care elsewhere with better bedside manner.

Dr. Camp is the best. Is very knowledgable, and has really helped my daughter with her eye care. We have been going to him since my daughter was 3 and she will not let any other doctor touch her eyes because he’s is soo patient with children. Highly recommend him
