Bringing a New Vision to Manhattan: The Specialists Behind North Manhattan Eye Center
At North Manhattan Eye Center, we believe exceptional care begins with a commitment to treating the whole person, not just the condition. That’s why our team is more than a collection of expert physicians. We’re an integrated group of specialists working together to deliver a comprehensive, patient-first approach to healthcare. Whether you’re seeking trusted vision care or specialized ENT support, our Manhattan location is designed to meet your needs with precision, compassion, and excellence.
Meet the doctors redefining patient care in our community:
Dr. Gabriel Ferreira, MD – Comprehensive Ophthalmology with a Focus on Glaucoma & Cataract Surgery
Dr. Gabriel Ferreira is a board-certified ophthalmologist offering a full range of eye care services, from routine exams and vision correction to the management of complex eye diseases. While fellowship-trained in glaucoma and highly experienced in advanced cataract surgery, Dr. Ferreira provides comprehensive care for patients of all ages and conditions.
Known for his thoughtful, patient-centered approach, Dr. Ferreira takes time to listen, educate, and build lasting relationships with his patients. His combination of surgical expertise and whole-eye care ensures every patient receives personalized, expert treatment tailored to their unique vision needs.
Dr. Allie Nadelson, MD – Medical Retina Specialist
Dr. Allie Nadelson provides comprehensive eye care, including routine exams, contact lens fittings, and management of conditions like dry eye and ocular surface disease. She also has fellowship training in medical retina from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, ranked the #1 eye hospital in the country.
Her expertise enables early identification and management of retinal conditions that might otherwise go undetected, bridging the gap between primary eye care and more complex disease management. Her warm, communicative style makes patients feel understood and empowered in their care.
Dr. Joseph J. Rousso, MD – ENT Care & Facial Plastics
Dr. Joseph Rousso is a board-certified ENT specialist with extensive training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, including work with patients recovering from head and neck cancer. At our Manhattan location, he primarily provides ENT-focused care, addressing sinus issues, ear infections, voice and swallowing disorders, and other conditions that frequently overlap with ophthalmologic symptoms.
Many complaints that first appear to be vision-related—such as eyelid swelling, facial pain, or tearing—may actually originate from ENT causes. Dr. Rousso’s presence enhances our diagnostic capabilities, allowing us to evaluate EENT (Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat) conditions more thoroughly under one roof. This model reflects the original medical specialty that, decades ago, unified these closely related systems —a structure that still makes sense today!
Why Our Multi-Specialty Team Matters
Our team doesn’t just offer different specialties—we offer connected care. By combining the expertise of ophthalmologists, optometrists, and an ENT physician, we can:
Diagnose more accurately across overlapping symptoms
Reduce the need for outside referrals and delays
Collaborate internally to create faster, more comprehensive treatment plans
Provide care that considers the full picture, not just isolated symptoms
Unified in Purpose: Comprehensive, Patient-First Care
At North Manhattan Eye Center, we’re redefining what it means to deliver exceptional care. In a city where medical visits can often feel rushed or impersonal, we offer something different: a practice built on expertise, collaboration, and genuine human connection. Our team of specialists works together to bring you not just answers, but understanding—and not just treatment, but care that truly centers on your well-being.
Here’s what makes our approach different, and why your health is in good hands with us:

Our goal is to make you feel seen, respected, and empowered in every interaction.
3. Advanced Technology, Personalized Treatment
Our doctors use the latest diagnostic and treatment technologies in the field, but technology only tells part of the story. What sets us apart is how we personalize that care. We tailor every treatment plan to your unique vision needs, health history, and lifestyle, helping you achieve the best possible outcomes without unnecessary procedures or confusing jargon.
4. Bilingual Team, Community-Focused Service
We’re proud to serve one of the most diverse communities in the country. Our bilingual staff ensures clear and easy communication, preventing any misunderstandings that may arise from translation.
