As a Doctor of Optometry, a crucial part of my commitment to my patients is ongoing professional education.

After receiving my undergraduate degree from Polytechnic Institute of New York, I obtained my Doctor of Optometry from State University of New York.

I am a member of several prestigious medical Associations, including The American Optometric Association, the American Academy of Optometry and the New York State Optometric Association.

I am an active participant in numerous optometric study groups. I was a contact lens instructor at Brooklyn Jewish Hospital - Interfaith and Director of Eyecare at Jarmain's Clinic. In 2009, I was voted one of the "Top Doctors" in New York State by Castle Connolly. I have been a national board examiner for many years. I regularly attend conferences to learn about the latest developments in contact lenses, spectacle lens options, and the management of diseases of the eye.

My cutting edge practice has the latest medical equipment including retinal imaging and the OPTOS retinal scan.

This was my first visit with Dr. Paternoster. He was very kind & professional. He took the time to explain the results of my various eye exams & even took out a model eye to make sure I fully understood! I appreciated his polite & amicable manner. The overall experience at his office was quite enjoyable, something one wouldn't expect from a medical office!
