Dr S Katims

Dr. Sandy Katims is the best eye doctor on Long Island. He has been treating me and my family for many years. He is always available to see us, even coming in on a Sunday when needed. His office is efficient and easy to be in… with an informal atmosphere that puts you at ease. He diagnosed me years ago with retinal issues and might have saved me from extensive surgery. I 100% trust him and feel very comfortable having him examine me. He is kind, funny and easy going. He is awesome!
Oh and he made me the most beautiful Prada glasses :)

Rude, obnoxious, and condescending. I went in for a routine check-​up and he got me to use some newfangled machine. I was having a little trouble using the machine, which required one to line up their eyes with a camera of some sort. Instead of being understanding and helpful, he was impatient and told me to «push harder» which is a very vague statement, and acted like I was incompetent when it didn’t work. At the end, he said that he was «exhausted» which I find to be obnoxious. I will not be returning. Looking for another optometrist at the moment… Oh yeah, I forgot to mention– there was a dog in the office. And it didn’t seem to be a service dog or anything– just a woman’s dog wandering the office. And the staff did nothing about it.

This is singularly the best place that I could think of for ongoing eye care. If you wear glasses (opting not to have Lasiks) then your relationship with your optometrist is pretty much permanent.
In view of that, it is great to be able to call, as I had to today with an emergency, and be treated like a long term patient, which I am.
The professionalism of the staff, and in particular Eli Marcovitz, is unparalleled. After having your eyes examined by Sandy Katims, Eli will fit you for your frames, adjust them, and make sure that you are matched perfectly, both in terms style and function.
No voice mail, no placing on hold, and no telephone inquiries about insurance.
Appointments are advisable, but it is a very accommodating walk in office as well.
Sandy Katims is totally totally excellent, but Eli simply makes that office.

If you value your eyes go see Dr. Sandy Katims. He is amazing. I went to see him for a routine eye exam and he diagnosed a serious condition and made sure I got it taken care of promptly. He explained the entire situation to me clearly with compasion. He called me the day after the procedure twice to follow up to be sure I was doing well. His entire staff is great. Get your eyes checked — go see Dr. Katims.

Dr Katims is one of the best eye doctors I have ever met.
I was visiting Port Washington when I one of my eyes started giving me trouble. I called Dr. Katims and he fit me in on very short notice, having never seen me before. He was thorough, professional, and incredibly nice. He diagnosed what was wrong and told me how to fix it in simple, straightforward terms. I would go to him again in a heartbeat.
