Dr. Alyson G. Yashar, MD 577 Chestnut Ridge Road, Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677

"I went to Dr. Yashar for the second opinion on my diagnosis narrow angles glaucoma. Unfortunately was a waste of time and money. Doctor didn’t even check my eyes, didn’t explain my condition and options for treatment. Didn’t show any interest at all. However, I was lucky to find a Dr. Russel Levine who took care of me and brought me great relief and peace of mind."

"Gross incompetence and medical gaslighting by office staff After experiencing severe visual disturbances, ocular migraine with aura, and other neurological symptoms I reached out to several neuro-opthalmologists to try to get an emergency appointment. I was relieved when I found out I could get an appointment with Dr. Yashar the next day. Unfortunately, my symptoms became too severe and I had to take a trip to the emergency room. I came to the office in WoodCliff Lake for my appointment. The young woman at the front desk told me that my appointment was moved from Dr. Yashar to Dr. Alino. I asked if she was also a neuro-opthalmologist and she assured me she was. I get called into the exam room and was told that Dr. Alino is not a neuro-opthalmologist. I had just cancelled my appointment with Omni Eye Care, with a neuro-opthalmologist, that morning as I was heading out the door to this appointment. I was told that I did not ask for a neuro-opthalmologist. I assured her I did, as I had called only offices with neuro-opthalmology, had only searched neuro-opthalmologists with my insurance, and had just cancelled an appointment with another neuro-opthalmologist to come to this practice. Then she insisted that she was on the call, and that I did not. I asked the office manager if calls are recorded, conveniently they are not. This is medical gaslighting. Not only was I not seen by a provider after an emergency, I was treated like I did not know what I was talking about (I've been in healthcare for over 10 years). This was complete gross incompetence by medical staff. Dr. Yashar and Dr. Alino might be great providers, I would not know as I did not get to see them. But their office staff most definitely needs training. They have left a patient in an urgent position with no path of recourse."

"Dr Yashar is a very gentle, caring doctor who is so thorough in her procedures. I have great confidence in her. Her staff is well trained and do their jobs with respect for the patients."

"Both Dr. Yashar and Dr. Mendelssohn are highly qualified and experienced doctors. They care about their patients and have always advised and referred when other expertise is needed. The staff are pleasant, friendly and expedite the testing so your appointment is quick and painless. Also, painless is their efficiency in handling billing. I wish all my doctor's billings were this easy. The office has always been a clean environment and the extra wiping of everything is reassuring. My family and I have every confidence in the doctors and staff."

"Upon going to the office, I was nervous, emotional due to my situation. Dr. Yashar and her staff coached me through every exam and were extremely patient with me. I was seeing Dr. Yashar for 6th nerve palsy. She was so thorough with what to expect and how she will be treating me. I would recommend this office to anyone! The staff was so kind and comforting to me as I cannot see correctly at the moment. I was a crying mess and they calmed my fears. You can't pay for service like that. So happy I was referred to them."
