Hilla Steinberg, MD

Doctor Steinberg is professional and thorough. I travel over an hour from northwest Jersey to see her because she's simply the best. Her office staff is great too!

i never been to a doctors office where you give an id and insurance which the office takes. but they will not see you if you do not write down your credit card infomation for them. i never had an experience like this. i work for nyu my boss made an appointment for me to come because my eye was swollen.they refuse to see me because i didnt want to provide them with a credit card. even though insurance was verified and i told them to just send me a bill , still said no.

I've had an excellent experience with Dr. Steinberg. I first saw her on an unscheduled emergency visit, after my primary physician noticed an issue (my red eyes and complaints about some pain) she thought should be seen right away. The office fit me in, Dr. S. identified the problem (a scratch in my cornea), and treated it over the next several weeks with kindness, great skill, and professionalism. I've seen her twice a year since then (in my 60s). Always answers my questions, explains things clearly. I'm super pleased. Have not had any of the billing problems some other reviews mention. They take my insurance and co-pay (for which they need credit card information, of course), and that's that. Front office staff is pleasant and efficient. Appointment is usually on time. Occasionally--rarely--it may be delayed, but I figure that's because she's seeing another emergency patient like I was the first time. No complaints at all. Just praise.

My daughter has seen Dr. Steinberg twice. She said she's very nice. But her staff and her billing were unreasonable..

Dr. Steinberg accepts our insurance. That is why my daughter went to see her. But after the appointment we were billed $325 for something that wasn't described on our receipt nor was it submitted to insurance. We were told that this was a necessary service that wasn't covered by insurance. Hmm...Ok - But what was it? No answer.

My daughter last saw Dr. Steinberg in November. We have called and written many times asking for an explanation of the charge. It's June 21 and I finally got one. I checked with our insurance carrier. If Dr. Steinberg's office had given me a CPT code, I could have gotten reimbursed for this service through my flexible spending account. But since they still haven't given me a CPT code that I can submit to my insurance, that's not going to happen.

I don't object to this practice, what I object to is the lack of explanation and the rudeness of her staff people. "This is how we do it", spoken in a rude manner. If you're going to do something like this, document it. And don't sneak these fees in and allow your staff to respond to inquiries in such a rude way.

On recommendation, I saw Dr. Steinberg for what might have been an eye emergency (it wasn't) but the office was kind enough to squeeze me in and evaluate my eye. Dr. Steinberg couldn't have been nicer, took her time to examine and explain, and treat accordingly. I will return for follow-up, and have every confidence in this practice.

Dr. Steinberg and her staff are amazing. They are thorough and caring and have provided me the best service I have ever received from an Ophthalmologist!

I highly recommend her!!!!

Found Dr Steinberg on Zocdoc and was very happy to see an "eye doctor" instead of the usual Lens crafter or similar ophthalmologist. Well, that was before realizing that a simple consultation would last 2 hours.
To increase profitability, numerous patients have an appointment at the same time and go in for a 5 mins questionnaire, then a 5 mins reading test...
Well this way 5 patients are seen without actually seeing the doctor for more than a few minutes.
This is a disappointing experience.

I've been a patient of Dr. Steinbrg's for years. I always liked her and thought she was extremely knowledgable and caring. After having her perform cataract surgery on both my eyes, I think she is AWESOME. I'm a skittish patient and she was amazingly calming and supportive. She explained everything to me in detail and allayed my fears. My surgeries went off without a hitch.

I highly recommend Dr. Steinberg.

Very nice doctor and assistant, but rude billing staff and got bamboozled at the end with pricing.

Went in to see about a possible eye infection and wound up paying $375 for a followup contact fitting + non-covered refraction test which is 3 TIMES what I payed another doc for my far more thorough initial fitting, Would go back for medical visit, but if all you need is a prescription STAY AWAY and save your money.

UPDATE: When calling back to inquire about the bill I was immediately attacked by the receptionist and made to feel like an idiot. Due to that I would never go back for anything.

I found out I had cataracts a year ago and went to an extremely over priced Ophthalmologists on Park Avenue who needed to see me 3 times before scheduling surgery. Each appointment was ridiculously priced and took the course of 2 hours.
I found Dr. Steinberg online and she was on the UWS and took insurance so I went to see her and we set a date for surgery.
Prior to surgery she called me on the phone to see if I had any questions to make sure I was comfortable with the process and if I did to contact her. The day of the surgery she visited me numerous times prior to the procedure to give me the step by step which made me feel at ease. She was nothing short of incredible!!!
She was patient with the laser part of the surgery which took a little bit because of me and kept me as calm as she could. After being wheeled into the operating room I don't remember a thing until I work up. The nurse and the anesthesiologist where also amazing.
Today, a day later I went to see Dr. Steinberg and the vision in the eye she performed the surgery on is now 20X25. It is the most remarkable thing I have ever experience.
For every negative review on Yelp I can say I am used to first class Doctors and incredible medical care and Dr. Steinberg falls within that category.
The office staff is lovely and Anna the office manager was on her game so I got all my information together.
This is a class A practice and if you need cataract surgery this woman is nothing short of a brilliant surgeon.
