Dr. Michael Kazim, MD

he did unnecessary surgery on my upper and lower lids, which was very bad job. He’s constantly followed around by his students who appear at my appointments where they get more attention than I do and he doesn’t like being interrupted when he speaks to them if I have a question. I suspect that one of his students did botched surgery on my eye and when confronted with this question, he denied it. I don’t believe him. He’s very abrupt with me and impatient. I did not find him to be so when I first saw him and he did a wonderful job on my orbital decompression. But beyond that, I would never recommend him to anyone

Dr Kazim and his partner at the time Dr Robert Goodman, operated on a meningioma tumor in my left eye in 2010. After surgery my left eye was drooping and my eyesight was not very good as I had been told it would be. When I asked Dr Kazim why he didnt fix the drooping eye he told me "I did what I was paid for." I was 66 at the time of the surgery and am now 79. My left eye is now drooping about1/2 inch lower than my right and my face looks mutilated and I am afraid to go out in public. Over the years he has told me that had I been over 70 atcthe time of surgery he would have just removed my eye. WARNING If you are over a certain age or doing have his preferred insurance, you will be treated like a nonentity.

Dr Kazim is simply brilliant and he has a very gentle bedside manner. I consulted with 3 other top specialist in NYC and he blew them all away. His depth of knowledge is second to none. I have complete faith in him and his treatment plan

Dr. Kazim LITERALLY saved my life. I got hit square in the eyeball with a golf ball when I was a kid (this happened over 20 years ago, in the mid 90s). I got hit way, way worse than ESPN's Sage Steele, who recently got hit in the face with a golf ball and almost died. Luckily she didn't lose consciousness. I did, I was instantly knocked unconscious, and woke up on the ground covered in blood. Eye swelled shut instantly. Huge cut opened up above my eye, concussion to my optic nerve, fractured orbit, blood in my sinuses, blood in the lens of my eye, nerve damage, temporary color blindness. I was in the hospital for a week. 5 THOUSAND MILLIGRAMS (5 GRAMS!!!) of Prednisone per day to get the swelling to go down. If not for Dr. Kazim, I wouldn't have a left eye anymore. Not only has my eye been perfectly okay since the incident, my vision restored to 20/20 soon after the injury. I thank the Universe every day for him.

This Dr. Kazim is an amazing dr. He has a very compassionate personality and is not an alarmist. I highly recommend and trust him to the max .

Dr. Kazim saved my eyesight. I had an A typical type of Graves Disease. His knowledge,skill and bedside manor were amazing. I was sick for 7 years and this man saved me. He is just a wonderful physician and Number 1 in his field.

Doctor Kazim is an excellent doctor. I have a tumor behind my left eye. Normally this would be difficult but not complex operation. Unfortunately it’s resting your previous tumor was 20 years ago. Doctor Kazim is on the scene this twice in his career. It is very risky operation to remove the tumor. As such that the closing is going very slow and his point of the surgery as long as possible. I’m surprised that he gives me as much time as he does, being as busy as he is. Trust him completely.

Dr. Kazim is an extraordinary surgeon and compassionate physician. I consider myself very fortunate to have been his patient and would not hesitate to recommend him. Unlike other surgical teams who I interviewed for Graves eye disease treatment, Dr. Kazim encouraged me to be patient until he was certain my condition had plateaued, and then guided the process carefully. Stephanie, his admin and Dale his orthoptist round out an expert, professional team.

Outstanding, kind and compassionate physician. The time he granted me as a Medicare patient was extraordinary given the paltry amount that he receives as payment. I was privileged to be his patient.
