Danielle Trief's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Trief instilled my confidence. This highly intelligent and skilled ophthalmological surgeon performed my cataract removal surgery. The staff in her office at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital are so welcoming and efficient. Even the staff in the operating room could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They laid the anxiety of myself and my husband. They made the experience manageable and pain-free . I would highly recommend Dr. Trief as a patient and retired registered nurse!!

Dr. Trief is very smart and efficient, addressed any concerns rapidly. I am very happy with the results ONE DAY after surgery.

I have been seeing her for a few years. She is a great ophthalmologist. She knows what she is doing and successfully helped me manage several eye issues I had. She has great bedside manner, is always on time, and is very friendly. She knows medicine very well and was able to squeeze me in several times for some eye emergencies I had And provide relief immediately for my eye issues . Very great doctor and would definitely recommend her if you have any eye problems- corneal abrasions, dry eyes etc. It might be hard to get an appointment with her but it’s because she’s books fast due to her expertise and great medical experience. I would consider this a PLUS! She is definitely worth the wait!

I just had 2 cataract operations done by Dr. Trief. My vision in both eyes now is 20/20 and I can see colors very clearly. I am at this point in my life a photographer and travel around the world. No longer a yellow cast on eveything. If you are looking for an Ophthalomogist go no further. She is truly professional in every way. Her skills and training has made a great doctor. She is sensitive, kind and listens to one's concerns. The staff, workers and students she teaches at the medical school view her with high regard.

My interactions with Dr. Trief have been positive. However, both times I had an appointment with her I had to wait almost 2 hours before being seen.

What a great pateint approach. Intelligent, thoughtful and considerate. Explains the details both in the office and during surgery. I recommend Dr. Trief highly. James D. Mendham, N.J.

Dr. Trief is amazing - smart, friendly, down to earth and supremely patient. She took the time to answer my (many) questions and gave thoughtful and practical advice. Great office staff too. An outstanding ophthalmology experience.

Wow to be able to wake up & seeclearly for the first time in 60 years is amazing. Thank you Dr Trief you confidence friendly smile and knowledge of cornea disease put me at ease for this needed cataract surgery. The office staff went the extra mile yesterday to obtain the medical clearance....you are all awesome.

Dr. Trief is wonderful.....she treated me as though I was the only person she was seeing for the day.....she gives her full attention to the person she is seeing....My cataract surgery went smoothly and I now have 20-20 vision in both eyes... I had been a longterm contact lens wearer( 55 plus years ) and had been told that I would have to wait 2 months without lenses before anyone would do surgery

Extraordinary!!! Caring, talented , knowledgeable (obviously!). Common sense approach to my eye issues. Recommend her highly.
