Dr. Pat-Michael Palmiero, MD

Dr. Palmiero is VERY caring & extremely knowledgeable.

I had my yearly eye exam early in Spring with an optometrist for my new contact lenses. During exam, I was informed my eye pressure was slightly elevated. After havong further testing optometrist diagnosed me with very early glaucoma. After doing a little research, I saw that many people recommended having a second opinion with a glaucoma specialist. Looking at reviews and who was in my insurance plan, I was fortunate to see Doctor Palmiero very promptly. After he gave me a much more in-depth eye exam, he informed me that I did not have glaucoma but ocular hypertension which at some point could become glaucoma. Because I have risk factors which includes family history of glaucoma, and bad nearsightedness, I am now being treated as precautionary and preventative. Knowing that Dr Palmiero has Fellowship training in glaucoma, I feel like I definitely am in the right hands. He explained everything to me very clearly and also explained the proper way to do the eye drop medication so… that it is most effective for lowering my eye pressure. I was so relieved that I went for a second opinion with Dr. Palmiero and that I do not have glaucoma yet, and I'm hopeful that I can prevent myself from developing it under the great care of Dr. Palmiero.

I see Dr. Palmiero and he is by far the best eye doctor I have ever seen. After many years of seeing eye care specialists in the city, I am grateful to have found a true gem

I visited dr palmiero a few visits, after I left him the other doctors findings were not the same. I could see he did not tell me the truth about the situation of my eyes. I suggest get a second opinion after seeing this doctor. for healthy eyes there is a vitamin and mineral formula by dr joel vawalach.com
