For referring physicians
A retina partner your patients will thank you for
Optometrists, ophthalmologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians across Long Island refer to Dr. Maisel for prompt evaluation, clear communication, and outstanding surgical outcomes.
How referrals work
Simple, fast, and always closed-loop
1. Call or send a referral
Call either office or submit the online referral form. Urgent cases such as suspected detachment or artery occlusion are seen the same day.
2. Complete evaluation
OCT, angiography, and widefield imaging are performed on site so most patients are diagnosed and treated at the first visit.
3. Written report to your office
Dr. Maisel personally dictates a report after every visit and is available by phone to discuss findings with you directly.
When to refer
New or worsening macular degeneration, including candidates for Valeda light therapy
Diabetic retinopathy or macular edema requiring injections, laser, or surgery
Acute flashes, floaters, retinal tears, or suspected detachment (same-day)
Vein or artery occlusion, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, uveitis
