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.

My wait was very short and the staff were so kind and welcoming. The moment I met Dr. Vaidya, I felt very comfortable. He is very kind and one of the top Doctors in the Country in this Field. He did a thorough exam and was very detailed and answered all my questions. I had a slight tear which was caused by the vitrious fluid pulling away from my retina. He performed laser surgery which was not painful at all. I just had my 1 year appointment and my small tear has healed beautifully. He would be my #1 choice for referring anyone who is looking for a top Opthamologist and retina specialist. read lessPeter D.11/07/2018Dr Nadeem is one of the kindest and professional doctor I have.

I felt like a part on an assembly line. Appointments lasted almost half a day while I waited with continuous dilation to finally see the doctors. They could have received much more income if they opened a restaurant inside the office. And the staff was immune to any inquiry about wait times and schedule problems. Zombies would be a more appropriate term than staff.When i finally became disgusted and decided to jump off the assembly line of care I was receiving, I found Dr. Vaidya. What a difference in terms of treatment and respect. Get off the assembly line and schedule an appointment.

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.

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.

Dr. Nadeem Vaidya is a rear gem in the modern world of high speed and high volume healthcare. We met when my wife had a very scary experience with a serious ophthalmology problem and Dr. Vaidya was able to provide her with absolutely best possible treatment! Not only he is an amazing and highly talented retina specialist, but he is also a caring human being whom you trust completely starting from the moment he enters the room. It was very easy to schedule an appointment, reach out to him with all kind of questions, etc. We never felt rushed or neglected, on the contrary he made it his priority to accommodate all her needs. He was patient in answering questions, explaining things and making sure that the message came across. He performed a procedure with great skills. All in all, Dr. Nadeem Vaidya is truly a Doctor with a capital D whom I would be honored to recommend to anyone.
