The New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens is known for its leadership and vision in health care. With the opening of the new Queens Eye Center , NYHQ now offers leadership in vision. Until recently, NYHQ offered excellent programs in ophthalmology and orbit care, but today, the expertise and resources have been consolidated at the Queens Eye Center to provide comprehensive care in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. The staff of the Queens Eye Center is comprised of physicians from the entire institution, creating an environment in which doctors can collaborate for the good of their patients.
Patients also benefit from the centralization of related services.
Located near the NYHQ campus on the cormer of Main Street and Horace Harding Expressway, the Queens Eye Center is comprised of an adult ophthalmologic clinic, pediatric ophthalmology services, and a retinal clinic. Ophthalmologic surgery suites for cataracts, retinal and reconstructive procedures are housed in the hospital nearby. These services surpass those previously offered by NYHQ , with fluorescein angiography, ultrasound and visual field testing now available. Sophisticated technology, nurses with special training in ophthalmology and outstanding support services enhance each area, ensuring focused care for every concern.
