Barlie Gaetano MD

New Yorkers needing eye care often head to Washington Heights, where specialists cover fields from glaucoma to dry-eye treatment. Eye surgery is also on the menu here, and prescriptions get handled on site; lens fittings remain a quick stop for frames picked up the same day.

Fresh arrivals can usually book within a week—orthoptics and ocular motility checks occasionally open sooner. Bring any recent scans to avoid redoing tests; pediatric eye exams are streamlined for younger patients. Insurance copays vary—always have your card ready.

Routine screenings, visual field tests, and contact lens evaluations round out the service list. If your school or employer needs a vision report filed promptly, these visits land on the same schedule. Botox for blepharospasm and ptosis repairs sit beside straight-forward lid lesion removals.
