everything was great including Dr. Konstanin Astafurov. However I do have a question about having to make a copay since I met all of my deductibles on 8-31-2023.

My retina detached on a business trip to CA, requiring emergency surgery. After 26 days, I flew home, and four days later, I found myself sitting with Dr. James Raevis as he told me my retina had detached again. I was scared, and he eased my fears with his confidence and compassion. He answered all of my questions, gave me his cell number, and got me into surgery as soon as possible. He performed a scleral buckle surgery with oil and saved my sight. I will always be grateful for his surgical talents, but his genuine compassion is priceless and makes him an exemplary professional.

Dr. Astafurov is my current doctor at Monmouth Retina. He is very likable and friendly. He gladly answers any question I have about my treatment. He spends adequate time and doesn’t seem to be always in a hurry.

Outstanding practice. Front office is courteous and professional. they space out their appointments so there is minimal waiting time. Doctors take time to explain medical info in an easy to understand manner.

Dr Trikha is a caring, professional Dr who I recommend to everyone that needs a retina specialist. My Husband and I went for my yearly appointment for my one good eye and he started to ask usual questions any flashes, bright lights etc. I said no my husband said yes. He examined him and found his retina was almost detached, did laser surgery that day. Follow up 1 week later, Dr Trikha had to do emergency surgery that same night at Riverview Hospital. He saved my Husbands sight.

Had an emergency over holiday weekend. My doctor said I needed to immediately contact Dr Trikha's office in Little Silver. I had lost vision in one eye and was terrified. Spoke to service and they said they would relay message. About an hour later, the service called back and said they were told to relay the message that they are not taking any new patients. I explained the urgency and was told sorry. We went immediately to the hospital. This was horrible.

Dr. Astafurov treated me two times in the last six months. In both of my visits, Dr. Astrafurov spent quality time with me, listened to my past eyes medical histories, my current complaints, and reviewed the notes from my previous ophthalmologists from different medical group.I have a long history of retina holes and have had five to six laser surgeries to seal the holes. When Dr. Astrafurov found out that I have a retina hole at the far upper left corner of my retina on the first visit, I was stunned. It’s because I visited two ophthalmologists from different eye center two months earlier and they did not find that there was a retina hole in my eye. To be exact, the first general ophthalmologist found that I have earlier macular degeneration, earlier cataracts and a drop of blood in my eye. So the ophthalmologist referred me to a retina specialist in his group. But that retina specialist only spent 4-5 minutes examining me without telling me anything wrong with my eyes. That was the reason I went to Dr. Astrafurov. Dr. Astrafurov found the retina hole and explained to me which are the best examination tools and methods to help diagnose the retina hole at the edge of the retina. I had laser surgery on the same day.On my second visit, Dr. Astrafurov still patiently listened to my new complaint and concerns. He did not reach his conclusion before he thoroughly examined my eyes. When he was about to end the session, I brought up several equations. He stayed and answered every one of them to me. When I told him about a new research on my eye disease, he looked it up online right away. He apologized that he did not notice that new research. To my surprise, Dr. Astrafurov saved the research article. I assume he might do some more reading about that research.I believe a doctor is willing to spend quality time with his/her patients, listening carefully to patients, not rushing to a prognosis, and being open-minded are the basic and important characteristics to be a good doctor. Dr. Astrafurov has them all.

Heard great things about this practice but am disappointed that you do not accept Blue Cross Blue Shield despite being in their network. Realistically, check out how many people in NJ are BCBS subscribers and reconsider this decision. Also, it's listed as an accepted insurance on your website, so please give that an update.
