I can not say enough good things about Dr. Shepps and his team. I was referred to Dr. Shepps by my friend who, (and her family) have been patients of Dr. Shepps for about 30 years! I had cataract surgery and I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Shepps and his entire team were professional, well organized and very caring. Dr. Shepps and Dr. Tan are both compassionate and attentive. They spent ample time to answers all of my questions and the results are amazing! The entire team is very efficient and knowledgeable. The wait time was less than five minutes. Keep up the great work!!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shepps for a few years. Dr. Shepps has always put his patient first, (me). He may not remember when I had an issue with my insurance and I was told that I could not keep that visit. When I finally was able to schedule an appointment; he was very disappointed that I had taken so long to come back to see him. I then explained why, he said to me don’t let your insurance be the reason to not come in; next time ask to speak to me directly. I am forever grateful for the care and attention that I’ve always received from Dr. Shepps. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shepps for a few years. Dr. Shepps has always put his patient first, (me).

Staff is super friendly and helpful. Dr. Sheps is a pro and easygoing. Have been very happy overall.

I was diagnosed with cataracts and needed surgery. My co worker recommended Dr. Shepps who he has been seeing for many years. Well I was not disappointed at all. Dr. Shepps is an amazing Doctor who spent a lot of time with me and did a tremendous job with both of my eye surgeries. Dr. Wallis & Dr. Tan who I have also seen at the office are wonderful as well. The entire staff at both locations are great. Also, special shout out to Tamika who is the Surgical Coordinator. She is awesome and so helpful. Highly recommend!

I've been a patient of Dr. Shepps for many years, ever since he saved my vision by perceptively diagnosing a detached retina. Since then, he's treated me for glaucoma and myriad eye issues. He's terrific, and he and his staff at Associate Ophthalmologists are super professional, caring, and efficient.

Saved my eyes !!!!

Have suffered countless stye infections, right and left eyelids this one was the worst of them all. Left eye stye swollen shut had warranted a visit to City MD urgent care, which referral me to Doctor Gerald J. Shepps office..Doctor Shepps identified the condition and remedy it with a long term treatment that will in return reduce if not stop the reoccurrence of styes. Knowledgeable, attentive physician with warmth towards patients concerns was refreshing. In addition the entire office good vibes and professionalism put me at ease. Highly recommend.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shepps for around two decades. During that span I’m pleased to say Dr. Shepps has always been courteous, personal and professional. He’s always been concerned with my general wellbeing and my eyes in particular. His office has up to date technology and a staff that is also professional. You cannot go wrong choosing.

Dr. Shepps preformed surgery to remove lenses with cataracts and replaced the damaged lenses with Monofocal Intraocular Lenses. If you need surgery to remove cataracts, look no further. The team led by and including Dr. Shepps is calm, courteous and highly skilled. They keep you "in the know" every step of the way with clear explanations and instructions. You will feel well cared for. I have a right eye prescription for distance and the left eye prescription for reading. The team was excellent in determining together with me what prescription power would work best given my visual needs and lifestyle. I am delighted with the outcome.

Dr. Shepps and his team are warm and professional. He is empathetic which is rare in this World. He just has a good vibes. I feel lucky to find him!

I had a cataract lens removal and monofocal IOL implantation performed by Dr. Shepps in November 2020. I am very pleased with the results and feel that my expectations were properly informed in terms of the range of distances I would be able to see in sharp focus. The operation is not without its drawbacks but compared with the alternative (vision heavily impeded by cataract) there is no question that the surgery has immensely improved my quality of life compared to what it would have been otherwise. I would highly recommend anyone to have their cataract surgery and IOL implantation done by Dr. Shepps.

Dr. Shepps and his entire staff show care for their patients' needs and take the time to answer questions. Also, the cataract surgeries he performed on my eyes have done wonders. Setting up the surgeries through his office was painless, as were the surgeries themselves.

Dr. Shepps may be an excellent doctor, but his office personnel must treat his clients better. Nasty, rushed, and couldn't care less.

I was having challenges with my eye sight. My son suggested I see his Opthalmologist in the US. I flew over from Ghana and had cataract surgery done on both eyes and later laser surgery all by Dr Shepps and his team. I am able to thread a needle again.

the go to guy for cataract surgery! very thorough exams in a well run pleasant office with all ophthalmology services available.

Very professional, hands on. Takes his time during exams and clearly explains process and procedure. All staff at office very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I've been a patient for many years.

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Schepps and his staff. Short to no waiting time, super friendly, efficient staff and Dr. Schepps takes time and is thorough, informative, friendly and funny! Highly recommend this practice!

I see both Dr. Shepps and Dr. Wallace on a regular basis. Both are extremely professional and friendly and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone and everyone. I trust them completely with one of my most precious possessions... my eyes.

Dr. Schepps is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time and care to explain eye conditions in a way that is easy to understand and based not only in diagnosis but also prevention.

I recently had cataract surgery for both eyes. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Dr. Shepps and Associated Opthalmologists. The deep experience and professionalism of Dr. Shepps, Dr. Talbi, and every member of the staff allowed me to feel relaxed and confident about the surgery. Instructions to me were always easy to understand and follow. The surgery was performed at Mackool Eye Institute, another very positive experience. Dr. Shepps replicated the monovision correction that I had enjoyed for 25 years with contact lenses, and I am delighted with the results -- no need for glasses at all.

I was very impressed with Dr. Shepps's knowledge and the time he took to clearly explain everything I wanted to know about my issue. Went back to Dr. Shepps today and he's still the same compassionate doctor who takes the time to answer your questions. He's knowledgeable and caring in his field. Highly recommend.

Dr. Shepps is great! This was the first time I met with him and he knew exactly what he was talking about, he is super friendly and personable, and took his time explaining things to me. I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Schepps got the job done, double cataract procedures with lots of meticulous follow up care. My vision is now better than it has been since I was in the second grade! Strongly recommend.

Kudos to Dr Shepps and his entire staff (shout-out to Dr Tan) on a job well done for my cataract surgery...the process from start to finish was very thorough and timely, including all of the follow-up appointments. To quote Johnny Nash "I Can See Clearly Now"

Dr. Shepps is the best. I have been nearsighted for a long time, almost my whole life. My condition started to get worse through the years and it just simply affected my life , even my professional career. I visited many doctors and none of them helped, but finally when I came to visit Dr. Shepps for the fist time, he had the solution for me. It was simple and quick. He even helped to get a payment plan with the hospital and a discount on the anesthesia. We all know that insurances do not pay for this types of procedures, but he even managed to help and make the payments affordable for me even though this was not something he had to do. After surgery, I was so happy. I can't believe that all my life I have had a vision that could be fixed with a 20 min medical procedure. Dr. Shepps definitively changed my life and I am very thankful to him. In addition, his staff is very professional, and his surgery coordinator (Tamika) was very helpful at all times. Dr. Tan, answered all my questions and helped me to recover with the clear instruction provided. I thank them all. Dr. Shepps is the best.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shepps for approximately the last 15 years. Over that period of time I have had my share of problems with my eyes from a corneal abrasion to very recently cataract surgery. Dr. Shepps has always made himself available to me when needed. He is the most responsive and thorough doctor during the examination to the explanation of the procedure or treatment. His experience and knowledge are also reflected during and after surgery. Without traffic for me to see Dr. Shepps is about a six hour round trip. I could easily see a different doctor but I will not because of my experiences with Dr. Shepps.

After my cataract surgery on both eyes in February 2018, I see better than I ever have in my entire life. I don’t even need glasses. To think that I wore glasses for 50 years and now I don’t need them! Dr. Shepps is amazing.

I came to their office for LASIK surgery. I was referred by a friend. And just like they told me, I will tell you, don’t mess with your eyes, you only have one pair. No need to take the chance. I had a great experience, one week I finally decided to have surgery, the next week I was all done. Dr. Rudick and Carmen were awesome to work with and the staff was very kind. After the surgery, I could see the next day, took all the drops as prescribed, never had pain, never had dry eye. 1 month later, I can say it is amazing. Thank you.

If I could give more than 5 Stars I would. Dr Shepps is one amazing Doctor. His personality his interaction with the patients and his overall skills are great. You might have to wait a little past your appointment time and that is because he does not rush. He will answer all your questions and won’t let you leave until YOU are comfortable. His operational skills are amazing I can now see without glasses lol. I can now hit a baseball again and I do not need to ask somewhat does that say. Thank you Dr Shepps. Now when you are preparing for surgery Christine is WONDERFUL she treats you like she has know you for years and I felt so at ease with her.

I selected Dr. Shepps out of seven ophthalmologists I have seen in the U.S., Canada and Europe, and am very happy with the decision. I can use my right eye again, after several years when I couldn't meaningfully use it at any distance, with any prescription. I had a combination of very high myopia, astigmatism, early cataract and, on top of it (literally), a phakic lens, which was implanted elsewhere and wasn't helpful. Dr. Shepps properly diagnosed the problem and brilliantly performed the surgery.

Dr. Shepps provided complete information pre-surgery and was always patient and kind, never hurried or dismissive. Both cataract surgeries went very well and post-op checkups were thorough and marked by the same care and concern as the pre-op visits had been.

From my first meeting with Dr. Shepps, I felt confident that I would be in good hands for my cataract surgery. Warm and friendly, he patiently explained to me the different options available to me. Two weeks ago, I was severely myopic, not able to see anything but a blur without my contacts or glasses. Now, nearly 50 years after wearing my first pair of glasses, I see nearly 20-20 again. I still can't believe i don't need to put on my glasses or insert my lenses when I wake up in the morning. Dr. Shepps is top notch!

Dr. Shepps takes time to listen to his patients concerns. Makes sure to give you all the tests necessary for your eye problems. Takes time to explain in detail what is the best solution. Had eye surgery by him 4 years ago, everything went smoothly. He even created something to help calm my anxiety while in surgery. His staff is very helpful and friendly.

His staff is just awesome. They’re friendly and always with a smile, and take very good care of you. D. Jones

I regret listening to all these reviews on here, I have waited a long time for my father to see this doctor as he has at least a month long appointment wait time. Everyone on the phone (his staff) assured me he was a glaucoma AS WELL AS a cataract specialist. Appointment day finally came, after waiting for him for over an hour, he comes into the room, curt hello, reads the chart and listens as his assistant repeats my fathers medical history INCORRECTLY-even though I had faxed over his records from the previous doctor and told her verbally my fathers history word for word. I tried to correct her and as I started speaking, he put a finger up and said "wait" without turning around to look at me or the patient/my father. Continued reading the chart, did a 2 minute exam, was curt and short with my questions. When I asked him the risks of the surgery for my father, he answered "what do you think the risks are?" with a condescending tone. If i knew what exactly the risks were I wouldn't come to see him, I could've just gone to school like he did and wouldn't need to see him at all. He is DISMISSIVE, CONDESCENDING, FULL OF HIMSELF AND nothing special of a doctor as everyone made him out to be on this post. I never ever write reviews on anyone because I frankly don't have the time and never want to hurt anyone's business, but my father and I waited for this appointment for so long and because of him had rescheduled the important surgery to his eye twice, because we believed we should ask the opinion of the best of the best, HE IS DEFINITELY NOT THE DEFINITION OF THAT< NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! don't waste your time. HE NEEDS TO GET OVER HIMSELF, JUST A REGULAR DOCTOR WHO PERFORMS CATARACT SURGERY, NOTHING SPECIAL-DONT WASTE YOUR TIME LIKE WE DID!!!! As a healthcare professional myself, it is disgusting the way he treated us as patients, and I have a feeling the reason he acted this way is because we didnt have the best health insurance and he didnt want to be bothered, probably only wants to take on wealthy clients.

I do not recommend Dr. Shepps. At 42, Dr. Shepps diagnosed cataracts in both of my eyes that he said required surgeries. He started with my right eye. There are several potential lenses that can be implanted into the eye instead of the natural lens clouded by the cataract. One type is covered by insurance; the other is not. Dr. Shepps told me that I needed the lens not covered by insurance, and charged me $1,800, as it was an Alcon lens. He did not run the charge through my insurance even though he was obligated to do that. While interested in discussing lenses and their prices, Dr. Shepps was not keen on discussing medical issues and answering questions. So, he asked me not to question him, and promised that I would be happy with the outcome. I really liked what I heard – Dr. Shepps was just so confident and seemingly knew what he was talking about. And how often do you get a doctor to promise you a happiness with the outcome?! More on the promise: moments after Dr. Shepps promised that I will be happy with the outcome, and when I still could not see due to dilated eyes and, well, due to the problem I went to him to begin with, he requested that I sign some consent forms. Consent forms said that no specific promises had been made, and that all of my questions were answered to my satisfaction! Dr. Shepps advertises that he does surgeries in some impressive places, such as Manhattan Eye and Ear Institute. But he steered me to do surgery in Queens, in a much less known place, which turned out to be less than impressive. As you may guess, the cataract surgery Dr. Shepps performed on my right eye did not go well. I went back to Dr. Shepps several times after the surgery. On the day after the surgery, Dr. Shepps did not even care to see how the eye looked, but let Dr. Wallis examine me first. It was when Dr. Wallis found a problem, that Dr. Shepps took over the examination. Dr. Shepps acknowledge a bad outcome of the surgery, and said that it occurred because I “jinxed it”. Dr. Shepps did not seem to care that I could not see, that I was in pain, that I experienced flickering, fireworks, dizziness, and was unable to live a normal life solely as a result of his surgery. He said that another surgery would fix the problem, and then he would do a Lasik, and then he would move onto my left eye cataract surgery. (Yes, Dr. Shepps has some moxie!) So, I finally realized that I made a mistake and went to another doctor. The new doctor just said that Shepps implanted the wrong lens into my right eye, and that the basic lens (the one that was fully covered by insurance) would best suit my needs. So, the new doctor redid the surgery (yes, as in performed a second eye surgery). The covered-by-insurance lens was implanted. And immediately I was all good. But I had been miserable for some 45 days in between the two surgeries. The most upsetting part - I learned from my several successor doctors that, in all likelihood, the cataract surgery Dr. Shepps did was not needed at all. So, I had thought I emerged more or less unscathed from the ordeal, save for two surgeries, 45 days of misery, with implanted artificial lens instead of natural, and some money wasted. But the problem is that once eye structure is disturbed, there is a high risk of other issues, such as retinal tears. And that is really scary stuff… Good luck in choosing a good doctor, and I wish you all the best in resolving your eye issues! I do not recommend Dr. Shepps.

Good surgeon Vision excellent . Not so good bedside manner. Impatient and uncommunicative .

The experience was great! The staff members were very tentative to my needs. Thank you Dr. Schepps :)

I went to the optical afraid that I would not be able to find a suitable pair of glasses. Taniya, however, was very sweet in helping me choose the perfect pair of glasses. Thank you so much, Taniya!

Have been seeing Dr Shepps for 3 years and he is a stellar doctor. His office, staff and equipment are a cut above. Highly recommended

Professional. Thorough. Kind and attentive staff. Top equipment available. Clean offices. Exceeded my (high) expectations I brought with me from Europe. Loved the picture of Dr. Shepps with Dalai Lama by the entrance.

I made the mistake of judging this place off of a initial phone call with a secretary at the end of the day earlier this week. I called one more time today hopign to get in because i was desperate for some eye help. The staff was kind, and flexible with me and made me feel so comfortable. As frustrated as i've been, they helped make the process so much easier and took some stress off my shoulders. Will be making this place my eye doctor moving forward!

Medical staff at Dr. Shepps’ office are very kind, nice, and professional. It's reassuring to find such an environment, where people treat you with dignity and respect. Dr. Shepps also is down to earth, straightforward, and very easy to talk to. Rarely, you find such a team of professionals.

Dr. Shepps and the whole staff are great. Both my wife and I use the office for our ophthalmology appointments. I have had cataract surgery twice with Dr. Shepps and highly recommend the office.

I have seen Dr. Shepps for over 20 years (maybe closer to 30!) He has provided all my eye care needs. Contacts and implemented mono vision with changing prescriptions. He did Lasik which was very successful and gave me comfort to see without contacts after the tragedies of 9/11. I had a retinal tear for which he helped as well as recommended more specialized care. I will be having my cataracts fixed this summer and I am confident that I will have the same excellent results with Dr. Shepps again. He is busy but caring and effective!

Dr. Shepps is an excellent doctor. From pre-op to post-op he was very thorough and available to answer any of my questions. I highly recommend him.

I love this doctor. I love all the doctors and the staff in this practice. They really care. And my insurance is really confusing and they always figure it out. And the place is very clean, and organized and professional, not like a clinic like many of the medical offices are like these days....

Dr Shepps performs examinations in a thorough and professional manner, treatment plans are fully explained and any concerns are patiently addressed.

I underwent cataract surgery with Dr. Shepps over the summer. When you are considering cataract surgery, it is natural to be a bit apprehensive.Dr. Shepps and his team work to make sure your questions are answered to ease your anxiety. I was impressed with the thorough pre-op examinations to how Dr. Shepps carefully considers each cataract patient’s specific needs. For instance, I had originally thought that I would be a good candidate for a multifocal lens. However, Dr. Shepps advised against this. He said he wanted me to be somewhat dependent on glasses..lHis reasoning was due to his concern that if I didn’t wear some form of eyewaremy dominate eye might be injured leaving me legally blind. I was fitted with a cheaper mono-focal lens instead of the multi focal lens that would have cost 2-3000 more. That is just one example of how he placed the best interest of the patient before financial considerations. The staff were friendly and efficient. I have to pay a special compliment to Kerry —the patent coordinator. Her friendly and well organized demeanor instilled confidence. She made sure that I understood the logistics of my procedure and also patiently went over the aftercare medication instructions. The procedure itself lasted only about 10-15 minutes and was preformed at a facility in Queens. The improvement in my vision was indeed life-changing. I still need glasses/contacts but I am less dependent on them. The improvement in visual acuity has opened up a new world. I highly recommend Dr. Shepps and his team.

Everyone was very friendly, from the check-in to the medical assistants. Dr. Shepps was very efficient but also thoroughly explained my issue in an easy to understand way. The only downside of the visit was the waiting time - nearly two hours in total. Part of the reason was that I am a new patient, so had to fill out all of the paperwork, and this was an emergency, last-second visit so I was probably lucky that they were able to squeeze me in at all. Still giving 5 stars! Everyone was very friendly, from the check-in to the medical assistants. Dr. Shepps was very efficient but also thoroughly explained my issue in an easy to understand way.

Dr Shepps is a fantastic guy and very knowledgeable with lots of experience and that's why virtually most of my family members have gone to see him every time anyone needs their eyes checked. This was my first time to see him and I had a very positive experience. All the staff i encountered at the facility were great and very friendly too especially Justine who did most of my eye tests before I saw Dr. Shepps. The facility was neat, tidy and everything was so professional. Great first visit and looking forward to my next appointment.

Doctor Gerald Shepps has been taking care of my eyes for over 3 years. It took me a lot of research to finally find a specialist with highest credentials to take care of my sight. My job in particular depends on very good vision since I work in a photo studio. Strictly accurate color perception is absolutely necessary for me. I needed to have cataract surgery on both of my eyes because my sight was deteriorating, it started affecting my life and soon it would have been impossible for me to do my job. Doctor Shepps took care of that in a highly professional way. I was very nervous only before the first surgery and he was very supportive and understanding. I expected a major improvement after my surgeries on both of my eyes. Doctor Shepps gave me much more than that. He gave me totally new perfect sight. He chose the best implant lenses possible for me. Now my sight is absolutely perfect and I can really say this doing my everyday work. His clinic Associate Ophthalmologists has two state of the art facilities. The staff is knowledgeable and pays attention to every detail of their work. Doctor Shepps is by far the best eye specialist I have ever seen. I definitely recommend him and his clinic with confidence. Doctor Gerald Shepps has been taking care of my eyes for over 3 years.

Great staff. Dr. Shepps is a very, very knowledgeable and a fantastic person. An excellent eye doctor/surgeon, I have been going to him for 10 years. I give him and the other doctors/staff the highest recommendation. There are times when you will have a wait but that is generally because the staff is working with insurance companies to get the best coverage possible. They do a great job – so well worth any wait you may have. I couldn't ask for a better eye team. Great staff. Dr. Shepps is a very, very knowledgeable and a fantastic person.

Provided comprehensive information and guidance prior to my cataract surgery on options for lenses. His advice was right on - decided on one for far vision and one for near. No complications post surgery and a year post surgery, I continue to be very pleased with him and his staff.

Dr. Shepps is attentive, professional, upbeat and a brilliant surgeon. He made my cataract surgery an experience that changed my life for the better and I still can't believe how clear my vision is! My sight is 20/20 In my right eye & 20/30 In my left eye..intentionally adjusted for reading without glasses! Before it was impossible to function without glasses. Highly, highly recommend him, changed my life SO much for the better! Melinda Pawlik-Atkinson

What can one person say about going to the office of Dr. Shepps/Rudick/Wallis and Talbi. It's an office full of wonderful people, who treat you with the upmost respect. Also what I like about the doctors that, if your main doctor is out the other doctor is aware of your situation. I enjoy dealing with the doctors and going to this office because it's like one big happy family. What can one person say about going to the office of Dr. Shepps/Rudick/Wallis and Talbi.
