We are happy and grateful to have found Dr. Vadiya. He is an exceptional Retina Specialist. I have been seeing him for approximately two years for a challenging condition. He has done a great job assessing, treating and monitoring the condition to keep it under control. He is very thorough, with excellent “chair-side” manner, and he doesn’t hesitate to spend the time answering our extra questions. In addition to epitomizing medical professionalism, he is also a genuinely kind man. And his office staff reflects his demeanor – they are always a pleasure to work with.

11/22/2015I really like Dr. Vayidya. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain things to you in layman's terms. I've seen him twice and I think he is a great doctor and it shows that he is an expert in his field. I had been to two other doctors before him who had only partially diagnosed me and didn't really fix the underlying issues. He was able to resolve my main concerns and provided non-steroid, OTC, homeopathic solutions to, hopefully, mitigate my future problems.read moreread less

- This is a very impressive organization. The office is beautiful, staff attentive and helpful, seamless experience. I was having an issue over a holiday week-end, left a message and received a call directly from the doctor. He put me at ease and made room in the schedule for an appointment on the next working day. He apologized that he was out of town and unable to see me immediately. He gave me a referral to an ER Doc in the event my condition worsened or my concern increased.I am very impressed by his attentive caring, clear explanations and an encouraging set of next steps.

- Just came back from my first visit with Dr. Vaidya. I previously had a retinal problem and my primary care physician referred me to him. Sarah and the doctor's assistant were so helpful with insurance concerns. He has the most up-to-date, high-tech equipment. I've never had such a thorough consultation. Dr. Vaidya took his time explaining every detail while showing me the computer-generated visual diagrams. I whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Vaidya to anyone who has/had retinal issues, as well as anyone who appreciates an exceptional opthalmologist.read moreread lessJanice K10/06/2022

His calm demeanor, patience and expertise put me at ease when he explained the treatment I needed for my detached retina and retinal tears and holes. When the day arrived for treatment, I was quite nervous as I went in, but I soon relaxed just by being in his presence. His level of professionalism is beyond measure.Dr. Vaidya is exceptional, and I encourage you to visit his office for your eye care needs. His team is fantastic as well.

- I wish I can give Dr. Nadeem ten stars ! I came in to see him earlier than my intended appointment day because I had a feeling that I should see him earlier based on my symptoms. The front desk was very nice to fit me in. Dr. Nadeem was so knowledgeable and kind. He was patient was all my questions and so considerate with my concerns. He wanted to run some blood work to be thorough and rule out any possible issues. I was so surprised when he called me after hours when he was told by the front desk that I had called about some test result and was worried. And although he was not in the office that day, he still called me to reassure me and explained the results. He was honest if there was something he wasn't sure of and suggested I speak with my other Doctor. This takes a both humble and confident physician to acknowledge. I'm so impressed and feel really lucky. Doctors are not God, even if some make you feel like they are. Dr. Nadeem has exemplary bedside manner and the medical knowledge that helps his patients like myself feel like they are in very good hands. Highly recommend!read moreread lessJessica D.4/19/2016

- Dr. Vaidya is an amazing retinal specialist. He is kind, caring and detailed with his diagnosis and with his surgeries. My wife works for Dr. Vaidya several days a week and she has had nothing but good things to say about him. As a husband...it is absolutely essential to me that my wife is treated well. She was not treated well at her previous employer so the last few years with Dr. Vaidya have been a huge blessing. Having my wife come home tired but happy is a HUGE & welcomed change from her old job, where she would often be emotionally distraught & completely exhausted. Dr. Vaidya treats her with respect and kindness like a valued part of the team. It means the world to me because good men, like Dr. Vaidya, who are exceptional at their work and treat people well... are hard to find nowadays. The OC Carpet & Rug Specialist is proud to give Dr. Vaidya & Retina OC our highest recommendation possible!read moreread lessRich Paulin3/16/2018

- Go to Dr. Vaidya. He is thorough and makes an intelligent assessment of his patients. He patiently listened to my concerns (including the ones I had with my previous doctor) and devised a plan that worked for me the first time. I had terrible allergies but his expertise extends beyond that (something about macula care?). Ask him questions, he'll answer them.

- Dr. Vaidya is the absolute best ophthalmologist!!! He is smart, kind and has the kind of bed side manner that all physicians should emulate. Thank goodness for yelp reviews on Dr. Vaidya. I was looking for a retinal specialist and after reading the positive reviews, I decided to make the call for an appointment. Going to an ophthalmologist can be terrifying because these are a vital part of your senses. I was experiencing symptoms that were certainly worrisome but after spending time with Dr. Vaidya, I felt that I was in good hands. Bad news is bad no matter what, but who delivers it by how they do it is crucial to patient compliance and healing. Doctors forget that their patients are scared and don't have the medical knowledge to digest the complexity of their health issues. For these reasons, being in the care of a physician like Dr. Vaidya has been a Godsend. He doesn't make you feel rushed, you leave his office feeling cared about because he addresses all your questions and concerns. And when I had an emergency on two separate weekends, I had to call and was surprised to have Dr. Vaidya return my call with the same care he shows during his office hours. I've had personal experience and have known others who have been scolded or rudely treated by doctors because it was on a weekend. I always feel terrible and hesitant to inconvenience anyone let alone a busy doctor on a weekend, but your body doesn't discriminate weekdays and weekends. Without going on and on about how wonderful this doctor is...I'll just say please do yourself a favor if you need a retinal specialist and go see Dr. Vaidya.read moreread lessJessica D.5/02/2017
- Totally recommend Retina OC. I was referred by my optometrist and Dr Vaidya was able to see me immediately. He was very thorough and took very good care of my issue.

- February 11th, 2011 Dr. Vaidya treated my mother at his Staten Island office. She was very happy with the care she received from him and has made him her regular ophthalmologist. She was especially happy at how fast should could get an appointment with him as she would wait 1-2 months for an appt with her previous eye doc. A great physician for anyone looking for a eye doc in the area, great demeanour and very meticulous.read moreread lessSelf-verified patient of Nadeem Vaidya2/11/2011
