Why our Patients love us

I had a very pleasant experience at Mirkin Vision. I was greeted immediately and asked for my insurance card. I was sure that my coverage did not extend to glasses. The young ladies had encouraged me to bring it. I received 30% on my glasses and lens package. I was very happy that they insisted we try! I was taken it right after that and had a thorough eye exam. Dr. Mirkin and his staff were not only knowledgeable but very kind. I have been getting eye exams for many years. The exam was thorough and Dr. Mirkin actually showed me the pictures of my retina that his assistant had so patiently taken. I then met with Stephanie who helped me pick out a flattering pair of frames and answered all of my questions about the Transitions and the blue light blocker. She also adjusted my old glasses for me. I just wish I had found them years ago. I can’t wait to get my new glasses!

Michele M

It was a great experience. Dr. Mirkin is very thorough and show care and concern about his patient, the lady doing the tests and taking the pictures, sorry, I didn’t get your name but you are doing a great job and have a great personality, keep up the good job. However, I did not feel too welcome by the staff at the front desk but would not let that interfere with the most important part which is my eye care which again was performed by the great doctor and his lovely assistant.

This office is amazing. I told them I'm heading to Costa Rica this month and desperately needed my glasses to be ready by then. They fit me in for an eye exam immediately & within 3 days they had my glasses ready. Absolutely lovely group of people and the doctor himself was very sweet and personable. Will be returning. Thank you!

Update:
Had a bit of an eye emergency & his office squeezed me in right away on that day. Very nice visit again! I was in and out within 10-15 minutes. Eye is on the mend! Thank you again!

I have been going to this eye doctor for years and the doctor has never been a disappointment. He really listens to my concerns and ensures I get the correct lenses whether glasses or contacts and I have no plans on changing doctors unless he retires!!! 🙂 I also want to compliment his team, as they have always helped me when needed and I feel comfortable speaking to them. That’s how doctor offices should be. I hope everyone continues to keep up the good work 🙂

Two of the greatest things in Mirkin are its attendants and its timeliness. As I arrived there for my appointment, I was seen by the attendant in about five minutes. She thoroughly did the eye exam and took me to the doctor’s room, who was there waiting for me. He checked my eyes thoroughly, dilated my pupils and sent me to the glasses specialist who was the kindest person ever! I told her that I wasn’t sure what type of glasses were suited for my eyes but I do want to look pretty! She then began choosing glasses that she deemed appropriate for the shape of my face. Well the very first one she chose, I loved it. Then she showed me another one and I loved it so much, that I bought it too! Overall, going to Mirkin was a great experience-from the timeliness, the examinations, the help with choosing the eyeglasses, they all deserve an A+. I would recommend definitely Mirkin for your next eye examination!

I love Mirkin Vision for all my ophthalmology and optometrist needs. They are very detailed and accurate with care and assessment and accessibility of insurance. My family’s prescriptions are always correct. Thank you Dr. Mirkin and the whole team. There is 8 out of 10 of us with eyewear and I believe the last 2 will need it and join soon. I always refer this office on Beach 116th Street in Rockaway Park, NY.

Mirkin Vision has been a neighborhood mainstay for as long as I can remember. I was in desperate need of an eye exam and new eye glasses after procrastinating for many years. I called up the team at Mirkin to confirm if they accepted my insurance and to get an appointment and was able to get a same day exam just a few hours later! They also worked with my while I was there to explain my plan benefits and was assisted in trying on and shopping for new eyeglasses as well as prescription sunglasses. The team member was able to help me get the best options through my insurance as well as any promotions the store was offering.

In addition to a wonderfully helpful and friendly staff, the doctor himself is amazing! He is so patient and kind and straightforward. I hardly waited to see him as they run things very efficiently. The entire experience was great and it’s obvious this establishment cares about their patients and customers. Thank you!!

Jillian R

I haven’t been to an eye doctor since I was a kid and right now I’m 31! Lol but none the less it was a smooth and amazing experience. The atmosphere was chill and everyone was nice. I think Dr. Mirkin is an amazing doctor and it shows that he treats his employees kindly. He was well spoken and has amazing manners.

FAQs

How long is my prescription valid for?

At Mirkin Vision, to maintain up-to-date health and wellness assessments, it’s advisable to undergo an annual eye exam with your optometrist. For individuals new to contact lenses or those with particular medical conditions, a one-year expiration date might apply to their contact lens prescriptions, as recommended by an optometrist.

How often should I visit the optometrist?

Typically, it’s recommended to visit the optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam every 1 to 2 years, depending on your age, overall eye health, and any existing vision issues. If you have specific concerns or changes in your vision, it’s best to schedule an appointment regardless of the recommended timeframe. Your Mirkin Vision optometrist can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs.
