Outstanding physician
He is excellent in his work very caring and excellent in his profession wish I could give him a 100 stars.
I’ve been under Dr. FASTENBERG‘s care for 10 years. My eyes have resolved 2 macular pucker’s without any medical intervention. Dr. Fastenberg always told me the benefits of surgery do not outweigh the risk. For that, I am grateful that he decided to monitor my eyes over performing a medical procedure. My visit today Dr Fastenberg said my eyes were that good I did not need his services at this time.
