NY Vision Group – Dr. Harry R. Koster, MD

I really have no complaints about Dr. Koster and his staff here.
Sure some folks may be a bit put off by the scheduling/​overbooking, but things happen and often it’s not their fault if someone shows up late.
The day I got my lasik done, I felt as if I waited a really long time, but the results speak for themselves. I can see ²⁰⁄₂₀ now, and don’t have to fiddle with contacts or glasses.
My only regret for going here was that I did not go sooner. Assuming I die at age XX, getting the surgery at a younger age would have given me more bang for the buck.
Also, you guys should use a FSA to get the most bang for your buck.
The surgery is pretty quick and painless, but the smell of burning corneas and temporary blindness is kinda freaky. Overall it is worth it though!

Dr. Koster is an excellent surgeon. I have not only worked with him as a physician for 2 years; I have also been his patient. As an anesthesiologist, I have had the pleasure of working with many surgeons over the course of my training and career. Doctor Koster is one of the best surgeons I have watched perform surgery.
What makes him a great surgeon? Surgeons are very unique in that their featured skill — the ability to perform surgery — is a physical art. The best surgeons use sound judgment in the plan of action (the diagnosis and the proposed procedure) along with performing the least traumatic and invasive maneuvers to achieve the best outcome for the patient. Just as all quarterbacks have different stats and strengths, all surgeons perform surgery differently. Unfortunately the patient cannot see the surgeon at work in the OR. It is very important you find someone that is technically sound.
Dr. Koster is a true artist. His hands are precise. From my experience, very few surgeons out there have his abilities. I have seen how his patients have had fantastic outcomes. I have seen how he can treat ocular troubles with the least amount of trauma involved. I know he always has his patient’s best interests in mind throughout the process.
I was so impressed with Dr. Koster’s abilities after watching him perform surgery for other patients that when the time came for me to have my vision corrected with LASIK, I chose him to do my procedure. I trusted his judgment, I trusted his outcomes, and I trusted his hands. As with everyone else, my eyesight is precious. It’s a gift, and I cherish it. In addition to being a physician and performing procedures that require keen vision, I am a photographer and rely on my vision to create images. Dr. Koster helped me to see ²⁰⁄₂₀ without my glasses, and I am a very pleased patient.
His great reviews speak for themselves. Dr. Koster is a terrific surgeon, and if you are in need of an ophthalmologist I highly recommend visiting him for a consultation.

I was at this office yesterday and am highly highly disgusted with the entire atmosphere from the time I walked in the door there were no chairs to sit down then when I finally did get a seat in the front row with my kids I hear cursing and yelling from a girl who I believe is employed there she had blond hair and heavy set sitting in another room to another employee sitting at the front desk!!! I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EARS AND EYES! I couldn’t be more annoyed and disgusted I had my children sitting in the office hearing this unprofessional individual going on and on cursing and nothing was being done. I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO GO TO AN OFFICE WHERE THERE IS SUCH DISRESPECT ! Who is the manager! I recommended so many friends an family to this office and this is what I’m recommending them to! Outrageous and down rite unprofessional! I’ve been coming there for years and never in my entire time there seen an employee act that way, I hope if she was an employee that something will be done because I WILL NOT bring my family there again!

The office is very efficient and the entire series of procedures is so perfectly performed, I give them 5 stars. You are seen in a reasonable time after you arrive, the procedure goes well, follow-​up with all the doctors on staff is thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend Dr Koster to anyone that wants to see, text, check caller ID and basically live life without glasses.

Nice ppl… Good Dr’s. Able to fit me in when needed

I had PRK vision correction surgery performed at the end of August by Dr. Koster, and I have been pleased both with the results and how I’ve been treated the entire time. The office is quick and efficient, Dr. Koster had ready answers for all of my questions and concerns that jibed with what I’d read elsewhere, and they’ve been providing excellent follow-​up care.
