About Me

Dr. Daniel Elefant is a neuro-ophthalmologist who helps patients and families make sense of vision problems that arise from the brain, optic nerve, or eye-movement pathways. He evaluates symptoms such as double vision, visual field loss, ptosis, abnormal pupils, and transient or sudden vision changes. Using a careful examination and appropriate imaging, he focuses on finding clear, practical answers and building a treatment plan that fits each person’s needs. He works closely with neurology, neurosurgery, and rheumatology colleagues when conditions overlap specialties.

Dr. Elefant earned his medical degree from New York Medical College, completed an ophthalmology residency at Westchester Medical Center, and advanced fellowship training in Neuro-Ophthalmology at Weill Cornell Medicine. He welcomes referrals for conditions such as optic neuritis, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, giant cell (temporal) arteritis, and other optic nerve and eye-movement disorders. Appointments are available in Hawthorne, NY, and he speaks English and Hebrew to support communication and comfort for diverse patients.
