Can someone please recommend a good cataract surgeon based on their personal experience, NOT associated with Mount Sinai (Bad experiences.)

Manhattan South of 96th Street works best for me. East side better than West.

Can't recommend but I can share.

From folks that have had this surgery they seem to all agree.
One eye at a time. Makes sense.

Only one person had a poor outcome. Still needs glasses.
He failed to tell his doctor of a childhood astigmatism
that should have been addressed prior to cataract surgery.
Everyone else successful.

Best wishes. Enjoy your posts.

Carteret NJ would seem to fit the bill, etymologically speaking, but too far.

My mom went to a cataract surgeon in Yonkers, NY, Dr George Schirripa, her surgery went well, and he claims never to have had a bad result, but that was 12 years ago. She had her surgery done at an eye clinic in the Bronx, off Pelham Parkway someplace. I don't know if he still uses that facility. I don't like to make doctor recommendations, but check him out on-line and read his reviews, he's supposed to be one of the best in this area. Good Luck.

Just realized you wanted to use a doctor in Manhattan, there must be many good ones there. Good Luck.

I can't imagine picking a cataract surgeon based on a Yelp review.

King, what do you have against Mt. Sinai? Pretty good rep, I thought.

Their "colleagues" bounce referrals back and forth unnecessarily with the clear goal of generating kickback additions to their bottom lines.
