I have been seeing Dr Rudometkin for treatment of my wet macular degeneration. Dr Rudometkin is very professional and takes the time to know his patients and cares about their health. He is also interesting and kind. He always makes sure that the anesthesia has taken effect before he injects my eye, I have never felt any pain! I highly recommend him for your eye care.

On December 2nd, I had my follow-up appointment with the doctor. As always, I expressed my concerns, and they were all listened to. I had a very good, professional examination, as usual. The doctor calmly explained the current state of my condition, very professional and examination, the review and his advice, and we also discussed the possibility of going to a facility closer to my home. I explained that I do live quite far away, but I want to continue going there because the staff at that facility is also very good; They are all very kind and very professional, empathetic and efficient, the doctor and his team are wonderful, thank you.

I am seeing Dr Rudometkin for a post-cataract surgery condition which sometimes involves swelling behind the eye. His attentiveness to my situation has been professional, timely, thorough, caring, and informative. He takes time to share results of tests and possible courses of action in a manner understandable and kind. He's not quick to administer pharmaceutical/injectional solutions, but does so readily if he deems it necessary. He's a good doctor.

Our appointment took a total of almost two hours. This was the first time waiting was uncomfortably long. However, the time, thoughtful treatment and diagnosis spent with his patients has always been top notch.
