Here's exactly
what to expect.

Reach us at 718.338.9800 or book online. Most new patients are seen within the same week. Have your insurance card and referring doctor's name ready.

Come 10–15 minutes early. Bring your ID, insurance card, and a medication list. You can fill out forms in advance through the patient portal.

Our team will do visual acuity testing and advanced retinal imaging — OCT and fundus photography — giving Dr. Elmann a full picture before he sees you.

Almost every retina exam requires dilating drops. They take about 20–30 minutes to work. Your near vision will be temporarily blurry and you'll be light-sensitive for a few hours.

Dr. Elmann will sit with you, go through your images, and explain exactly what he sees — in plain language. If there's a problem, you'll hear about it directly, along with all your options. No decisions without you.

If treatment is needed, we schedule it promptly and make sure you're comfortable with every step. Follow-up care is built in from the beginning — you're not left figuring it out alone
