Biography
"A native New Yorker, Dr. Jeffrey Nightingale graduated from Columbia College and Downstate Medical College of the State University. He served a surgical internship at the Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center, followed by Ophthalmology Residency at the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital, affiliated with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. A Fellowship in Oculo-Plastic Surgery followed at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, where he is currently a Senior Attending Surgeon. He has been active in teaching Residents, and is excited to have his son, Andrew, who recently finished his training at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, join in the practice shortly. Dr. Nightingale has played the oboe from an early age, and attended the New York High School of Music and Art, playing in the orchestra and chamber groups. He is an active sailor and racer and a member of a Yacht Club in Connecticut. Recently, he took up golf which he admits is more challenging than he expected.

He came highly recommended by a friend who had LASIK. I went for a free consultation and found him to be very warm, personable and attentive. Most important for me was that he projects a real sense of concern, experience and confidence.
His Central Park West office is modern, high tech, and warm. This is not a clinic like so many of the LASIK Centers I have heard about. The Staff are friendly and informative. They told me about the different payment plans that are available.
I have to admit, the day I had the procedure, I was a little nervous, but Dr. Nightingale was so reassuring that I felt very comfortable. Best of all, within 15 minutes, I was done! The next day I couldn't believe it, no more glasses or contacts.
My only complaint, why did I wait so long to have this procedure
