Very knowledgeable and professional. The entire staff and the doctor are caring and supportive! Had a great experience and would recommend to anyone in need of a good ophthalmologist in south Brooklyn (Bay ridge and nearby areas)

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Aliprandis for many years. Suffice it to say, that wouldn’t be the case if we had misgivings about his knowledge and expertise. I’ve had both cataracts treated by the doctor and now it’s my wife’s turn. We are both confident her results will be equal to my happy outcome. An additional word about the staff at Bay Ridge Optical. Everyone is pleasant and qualified. They listen to what you’re saying and help find the best solution to your needs. We recommend Bay Ridge Optical for your vision needs.

Excellent care

The office is always extremely busy, but Dr Aliprandis never rushes you during an exam. He takes his time to explain any conditions you may have. He patiently worked with me to get the best results out of my new lens prescription.

I did not like that the office was late. They made 2 8:15 appointments and the secretary came at 8:20. The doctor comes at 9:00. Today she was also late. So dont take an early morning appointment.. As soon as they started working, everything was smooth and professional. I got the result that I was expecting.

Very good

I was by mistake a day late and they took me anyway.

I could see very clearly

Explained everything

Impeccable a well-experienced confident doctor who's operated on me twice I have nothing to say but excellent. However I will add that is demeanor and his style and his confidence is a plus. The staff at Bay ridge opthamology medical is beyond reproach likewise Brook plaza Medical center. Thank you Dr A as well as Sandy and all the other crew O'Maya as well as all the other ladies and of course Dr a son, ❗

Nice staff. Wait time though was long.

Dr. Rusu was great! Kind, patient and thorough.

Knowledgeable and professional

My experience was perfect.

Great

Professional and knowledgeable

Had something in my eye an took me without an appointment and only waited 10 minutes.Good experience

To me, they run the office the way it should be run. Quite frankly, other offices, the receptionist doesn’t even look at you when you speak. I’m sorry to say, that behavior will turn me off to a doctor, if that’s the kind of office he or she wants to run . The staff at Ophthamology Associates is pleasant and they greet you when you come in. I arrived early but only waited a few minutes to be called in. Of course Dr. Aliprandis welcomes you with a smile and addresses any questions or concerns you may have. If you feel, for whatever reason , you need to find a new Ophthalmologist you should check them out. You’ll won’t need to look any further.

Great

Excellent ❤️

EVERYTHING WENT GREAT

absolutely satisfied with DR.

Very polite patient and informative

Professionally run. Well staffed. Dr Rusu and her staff go out of their way to help patients

Dr. and staff are very pleasant.

Dr. Aliprandis is excellent

Dr. Aliprandis It's a caring Doctor who takes his time to Listen and understand your concerns. The technicians are great. However the front desk lacks training on how to deal with patients , patients needs, Patients privacy HIPA and Respecting the patient's time.

Dr. Rusu was very professional and friendly, and took time to listen even though the actual visit was short. My prescription did not go through to the pharmacy (some technical glitch) and the office staff were very helpful in resolving the issue. Overall a positive experience.

He is kind and patience. Did not rush answered all my questions

Very knowledgeable. Am pleased and grateful she was able to help me.

Good service

I been a patient of Dr. Aliprandis for years . all my family see Dr. Aliprandis he is the best .

Very good experience

Excellent

Dr. Rusu is great but the ridiculously long wait time makes me think twice about recommending the practice. I was seen for pre screening about 20 mins after my appt time-easy to forgive. That said, I was then sent back to the waiting room for over an hour waiting to see the doctor. Once called in to see her, it was another 10 minutes wait time and then a 5 minute consultation (which would be fine if it didn’t take place 2 hours post my appt time). This practice is clearly over scheduled and has been for a long time.

Dr. Aliprandis is excellent.

Dr Aliprandis is a very thorough and knowledgeable Optometrist who takes the time to listen to concerns and answer questions. His staff across the board are equally impressive with their ability to convey competence, precision and accuracy. I believe that anyone who has the good fortune of visiting his office will have the upmost confidence to entrust your Eyecare in the hands of this doctor.

Dr Aliprandis was very professional and very thorough with his explanation of the virus/infection i had in my eyes. Thank you so much and I definitely will be recommending him to everyone that needs to see a ophthalmologist

I didn't wait long and the doctor was very thorough

I was having a serious issue with my eyes recently and they saw me right away. Everyone was very helpful and Dr Aliprandis put my mind at ease that I wasn’t going blind. Can’t recommend enough! Feeling much better, thanks guys!

Dr Aliprandis explained the pressure of the right eye well.

Very professional and caring! Everyone made me feel comfortable and make sure I was cared for. I was definitely in great hands with the entire staff and I’m so grateful for my doctor doing my procedure and his team

I love love Dr Aliprandis. He took me through 6 surgeries. 5 cornea transplants, also I have a tube in my eye. He is a great Dr He knows his eyes that's for sure.

Wonderful

Very thorough, professional and educational. Credentials are through the roof.

Dr. Elias was the ultimate professional. He knew his craft and was insightful in providing me information about my situation. Despite the wait in the waiting room, Dr. Elias took the time to examine and answer all my questions.

I had an urgent appointment with Dr Irene Rusu on June 25 2024 due to extreme eye pain. During my chief complaint she interrupted me while I was describing my concerns; checked for a corneal scratch; did not dilate my eyes; instructed me to return over a week later for a full eye exam; and diagnosed me with dry eye. I am so glad that I did not follow her medical advice. I instead searched for another ophthalmologist who saw me the next day. They took my complaint seriously and then insisted that I see a neuro ophthalmologist after a full eye exam, dilating my eyes, completing a vision field test, Ishihara test, etc. As a result I was hospitalized and treated for optic neuritis. Dr. Rusu was dismissive and her lack of attention to detail led her to horribly miss a critical diagnosis in my case.

Excellent doctor and staff

Dr. Rusu has always been caring and professional when I see her. She will answer any and all questions, no matter how trivial they might be, and she will provide explanations and look up previous visits on her computer.

excellent service!

She is great doctor, I feel so comfortable with her and her knowledge.

Simply the best! He is trustworthy!

The best. My eyes were soo dry . He put the three month plugs and immediately felt better. Great doctor.

Excellent

Dr Rusu was wonderful, very personable and thorough, she took the time to answer all my questions and concerns.

Dr.is very pleasant and very professional and makes every visit a great experience

I’ve seen my eye condition improve dramatically under Dr.Ruso’s care. She is knowledgeable, empathetic ,makes that extra effort to ease my anxiety.Dr.Ruso’s patients are very fortunate to be under her care

I travel from New Jersey to see him. We had really good experience. Dr Elias is very knowledgeable & experienced eye doctor. He explained everything in detail with the help of visuals. The whole team was very professional & accommodating. Only thing that was bit unpleasant was long wait time. I waited too long for my final exam. Everything else was pretty fast. I still recommend Dr Elias to anyone looking for good Opthamologist.

Although I like the doctor as well as his staff, the wait times to get in to see him are off the charts! It seems his appointments are always overbooked. I don’t understand why you need to wait sometimes more than three hours to get in to see him for all of five minutes. It’s quite frustrating!

He is a 'GREAT' doctor!

Knowledgeable Dr.

Always attentive to your concerns.

She is the best. She’s concerned about everything for better vision, always smiling listening to my worries and helping the best way she could. Well home educated and competent doctor.

I am quite satisfied the service I received

Dr. Aliprandis is a very nice, and thorough doctor. He makes you feel comfortable as a new patient. I would recommend him. The only downside to the practice is both times I went there I had to wait 2 hours to be seen.

Fantastic experience. Dr. Aliprandis went over all the the tests I was given the day of my visit and expressed concern where he saw some potential issues. I felt very comfortable under his care and that of the staff at the office. I would recommend Dr. Aliprandis as an eye care physician.

Very good eye doctor and the staff are very welcoming.

The testing technician was very warm, friendly and professional. I was called in immediately. Doctor Elias was warm and engaging. Explained everything carefully. Very positive experience. They earned my trust and confidence. Looking forward to aa positive outcome Thank you Bob Hansen

They are always busy here, which is a testament to their thoroughness and acumen. Dr. Aliprandis is nice and professional and I have always received excellent treatment from him and his staff. I understand that there is usually a wait time, but that comes with going to any doctor and is to be expected and I really wish the people who sit in this waiting room would calm down and relax. They aren’t the only people in the world waiting to be seen. We are all in this together and we are all doing the best we can. Especially the good people at the front desk of the Opthamologist’s office. Thanks for everything y’all do. Know this patient appreciates y’all tremendously!

Excellent experience

The waiting room is too crowded and the wait is too long.

Very thorough

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a negative review about this practice because of the long wait time. Within 10 minutes of it posting I received a call from Dr. Aliprandis the owner of the practice. I was very impressed with his gesture and apology. He scheduled an appointment time that would be convenient for both of us. True to his word he saw me and took care of my problem. He was kind and efficient explaining everything he was going to do during the procedure. The ladies in the reception area are polite and greet the patients upon their arrival. I especially appreciated the helpfulness and kindness I received from Monica.

Excellent

Dr Aliprandis and his assistants provide excellent and thoughtful care. I will continue to appreciate them. I wish that the appointment time was closer to the actual visit time (usually over an hour difference), but it is worth the wait.

Great place! Attention and professional people ! Love my doctor!

Loved her smart professional took time with me did not feel rushed. Answered all my questions

I did have a problem with waiting times the first two times i went to this office. I posted a negative review last Saturday and within 10 minutes of the post Dr. Aliprandis, the owner of the practice called me to apologize . I was impressed with his gesture. He also made arrangements for me to see him personally at a time convenient for both of us. I met him on Tuesday and he took care of my problem with care and kindness. He explained everything as he did the procedure. The ladies at the front desk were polite and greeted the patients as they came in. Monica was especially kind and helpful.

Caring thorough dr. I enjoy great attention service and excellent medical knowledge

Takes time to talk with u. Doesn't rush u I would recommend Dr Alaprentis. Besides I already have recommended patients to him.

A wonderful and very efficiently managed office. Receptionist very respectful of any concerns you may have, plenty of staff to keep many patients moving to different areas for variety of tests. Crystal is an excellent technician, knows her job, does it efficiently, explains in every detail procedure at hand. I am so satisfied with the exam given to me by Dr. A. He gives you information in great detail, in my case of proper future concerns. So pleased to have selected this office for all my future visits.Great team work from all! Marilyn

Outstanding, thorough and patient. Takes time to answer questions and provides clear explanations where necessary.

Come as early as possible. It is a busy practice and waiting times increase with the number of patients waiting to see the doctor. The quality of care and expertise is very good and for this reason it is a busy office.

I went in they took care of me when quick well staff very nice doctors awesome

Dr. Aliprendis is a terrific doctor. The best there is.

The staff and the nurse assistants are caring and friendly. I spent most of the time interacting with them. The visit with the doctor took less than 15 minutes because all the pre- tests were done by the nurse assistants. Although the process is lengthy (I am a new patient) I am very satisfied with them.

I was greated by reception with the smile and professionalism Dr Irene was extremely pleasant and I felt like she took good care of me.

This visit was for an emergency, I did not have an appointment, yet they made time for me to come in the same day. They did a complete work up, and it seems that Dr Rusu correctly diagnosed and resolved the problem.

Excellent service I was very pleased with the staff and doctor and nurses

Excellent. Compasionate,professional, and respectful.

Excellent knowledgeable doctor

Great experience! The Doctor and stuff are all very nice! I left the office feeling great!

Front desk was kind and Crystal the Assistant was very Professional and knowledgeable and keeps you relaxed. Dr Elias is a Master eye DR.

I have been afraid to have cataract surgery for years because so many friends who were not happy with the outcome or the choices in selecting the lenses that fit their need. When I went to Dr. Aliprandis based on the recommendation of my friend, he discussed with me my eye condition and which lens it best for me. I told him about my fear of side effects and he explained to me which lens is best for me. He was honest and professional in his recommendation. I highly recommend him and recommend his staff which include the nurse, the optometrist and the front desk staff. They were excellent in their help and care.

Doctor was knowledgeable, fast, friendly, understanding, efficient. Gave handwritten instructions, ver helpful. Gave follow up appointment immediately.

Super professional, knowledgeable attentive, kind and understanding of the situation patient in. Expesial thanks to the office staff. Thanks a million for your patience and understanding of patient in need of an appointment.

Best Eye Doctor in Bay Ridge

This was my first time meeting Dr Rusu. My doctor was not in the office. I went there without an appointment because I was experiencing pain in the eye that I had surgery on 3 weeks ago. She examined my eye, knew exactly what was wrong, and told me what I am to do. I came home, followed her instructions, and the following day I was pain free. Thank you Dr Rusu.

Excellent doctor

Prompt and professional.

it was a great experience. The ladies at the front desk were very professional and kind. The doctor was awesome very professional, polite, kind, and knows exactly what he’s doing. Thank you very much for your help!!!

Positive experience

Very good doctor. Staff professional and courteous.

The experience with all the assistants within the office was superb. They were personable and compassionate. Unfortunately, I cannot say that about Dr. Rusu. My appointment started at 11:30 and I was finally seen by the doctor at almost 1:30. The doctor entered my room and I said hello. She immediately responded “hello, sir.” There is nothing about me that suggested that I’m a man. I don’t take offense but instead worry about the attentiveness not provided by this Dr. She seemed overwhelmed, or even bothered by having to serve me, and dismissing my concerns I had for my eyes and the fact that I sat for almost two hours waiting to see her. She even tried to defend well you checked in at 11:37. It was almost argumentative, especially when I said I checked in at 11:28. If it weren’t for the wonderful service provided by the others in the office, I would have given one star.

Good

Dr. Aliprandis and his team are very efficient and thorough! The tech that helped me was kind and very approachable. Dr. Aliprandis himself was very nice and explained things very well for me to understand what my concerns were. This was my first time with them and I highly recommend going to him for any concerns regarding your eyes. Overall a pleasant experience. Thank you Dr. Aliprandis and staff !!

Very good, Dr and personal are so nice!

Dr Rusu is my savior for Macular Degeneration treatments. Professional personable amazing Doctor. Dr Aliprandis made my experience with cataract surgery painless and stress free. Stephanie, O’Myra, all front staff along with technicians (too many to list) are caring exceptional ladies! I have referred family and friends and they all agree.

My experience was fantastic and great staff I found that all technitian were fantastic I was very happy with all that work in the office happy with Dr Elias Ali Prandin great Dr

I’ve been under Dr. Rusu’s care now for over a year … and I’d strongly recommend her … and the staff is amazing.

Great! Very friendly staff.

Very caring doctor Patient and understanding.

Dr. A. was very thorough, explained my condition to me in a way I would understand. Explained to me my options and made me feel at ease with what was going on with my vision.

I highly recommend Dr. Aliprandis for his exceptional qualities of being knowledgeable, caring, and approachable, which contribute to a positive and personalized healthcare experience.

Dr. Aliprandis us a friendly professional who knows his stuff.

I meant the most compassionate and knowledgeable doctor to all his patients

The most passionate and knowledgeable doctor.

She’s always attentive and kind. She takes her time and makes sure you smile at least once during a visit. The wait time wasn’t long. She makes sure you’re clear on what’s happening during the visit and what needs to be done. She’s also very good with children. Very recommended. Great energy

I've been going to Ophthalmology Associates for over 30 years seeing Dr. Stephen Conrad as my primary ophthalmologist until his retirement. The staff and personnel in this medical office are professional, efficient, knowledgeable and empathetic. Several months ago I had a consultation with Dr. Elias Aliprandis regarding my having cataracts in both eyes. I have yearly checkups and I had known, for some time, I would need cataract surgery. I had a very thorough and informative consultation with Dr. Aliprandis. He explained, in great detail, the actual procedure. as well as the pre-operative process and the postoperative process. Both cataract surgeries were done at Brook Plaza Ambulatory Center which was equally as professional as Ophthalmology Associates. Dr. Aliprandis explained the procedure before the surgery and kept me apprised during the actual surgery. He is extremely professional, caring and detailed. I highly recommend Dr. Aliprandis; he is a highly skilled surgeon and I'm very pleased and excited with the results of my surgery.

Dr. Aliprendis saved my vision. He is professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. The whole staff is dedicated to servicing patients. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Highly recommend Dr. Aliprandis; he listens and is always available to answer questions and help. His office staff are lovely and efficient, with special praise for Xandi and her expertise in dealing with insurance obstacles!

Dr. Aliprandis is simply the best!¡!! I've been with him for about 15 years, maybe more. He is kind and professional.

Staff is kind. The way they interact with each other was good to see. Thank you

Great Doctor

Great doctor and great staff

My experience was excellent. Almost no waiting, super professional staff, wonderful doctor. The best! I’m switching my eye care to this office!

Excellent care. Thank you Dr.Ruso. I haven’t met a more caring Doctor than you. My compliments to the entire staff for valuing my time, helping solve insurance issues ,also sensitive to a painful procedure that I was undergoing

Your amazing doctor and All assistants they are doing a good job Thanks God bless

Great staff! I was greeted & was kindly asked to “sign in” as staff expected my arrival. I’ve been to other offices where it’s just “sign your name & have a seat.” Doctor Aliprandis was very respectful & straight to the point. I felt very comfortable in the office. Would highly recommend this office.

Very loyal to her patients understanding, takes time to listen, and explains

Although the wait is endless the care is wonderful. Doctors are great

Nobody never wants to go to the Dr’s but I personally love Dr. A. I made an appt for m6 husband as well!

Not only did Dr Aliprandis see me in an emergency, when I went to the er because it was a Sunday, he called to check on me while I was there and told the doctors to call him if they needed information. I can't express how impressed am and have been with Dr. Aliprandis

Proffessional and timely. Excellent staff.

I've recommended two people already and they, as me, were very happy with their experience.

Dr Elias, was extremely busy when I had my appointment yesterday and the wait to see him would have normally left me feeling quite frustrated, he had a number of patients to get too yet his professionalism and extremely polite and compassionate demeanor made it impossible for me to leave the office upset because of the wait time, Instead I left feeling really good about our appointment as he made me feel that I was important to him and that really made a massive difference and I won’t mind having to wait in the future as I know I am in the hands of an elite Dr

An excellent doctor very professional and compassionate, listens to patient’s concerns and complaints, beautiful personality very refreshing and energetic, I would highly recommend this doctor to others.

I was very pleased with Dr. Rusu. She explained what the primary condition was and other factors that were concerning. The doctor fully explained how she will follow up and I look forward as much as one can look forward to doctor visits. I chose to see Dr. Rusu since her specialty is macular degeneration.

Dr Aliprendis "IS THE ONLY DR I WILL TRUST WITH MY EYES!!" I have a serious lifelong condition & I have 100% faith that Dr Aliprendis will not only see me through this as he has been & get me through it. I wouldn't even think about questioning anything my Dr suggest me to do in the future, whether it be a surgery or whatnot. I couldn't BELIEVE MORE IN ANY DR. TRUTH BE TOLD!!! The office staff are just as AMAZING ♡ SUZANNE BURNS THANK YOU

Always pleasant with staff and doctor.

100% satisfied!!

Excellent care

Although I wasn't happy with the doctor's bedside manners at first, I do know she is extremely knowledgeable and knows her business.

Best office staff of any doctor I’ve been too. At the front desk the women were beyond helpful and pleasant. The staff before seeing the doctor was equally good. I would highly recommend Dr. Aliprandis. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and spends a great deal of time explaining things to his patients. I feel very blessed that I chose him as my eye doctor and surgeon who performed my cataract surgery.

Excellent advice and detailed information and instructions

Always friendly staff. Friendly greetings by dr, super informative and helpful and dr always upfront with us.

Professional and caring.

Very good and professional

Dr. A’s staff is very professional and, more importantly, he is a good doctor. He is strictly about the health of your eyes and sight.

The Steph is amazing very courteous and helpful. The doctor is amazing explains everything in layman terms first time and so many years I was able to get a Doctor Who had explained everything and I understood him completely.

Dr.Rusu She is so patient. She explained every step of the way. Warm staff

Sweet and very professional .

Dr.Aliprandis Is AMAZING! The way he cares for his patients makes me feel like family! He is always willing to go the extra mile for my eye care. He has so many options and alternatives for eye disease treatments and he provides his patients with a list of things he’s able to do and only recommend surgery if it’s absolutely needed! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE GOING THROUGH VISION PROBLEMS!

Staff and Dr Aliprendis always make me feel well taken care of. and I have already referred other people and will continue to do so.

Great service

Very knowledgeable and professional staff

I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Aliprandis. During my follow-up visit, I told him that he has an amazing office staff in Bay Ridge and surgical staff at Brook Plaza Ambulatory Center. They are kind, courteous, and highly professional. As for Dr. Aliprandis, I think the world of him as well. Last year, he diagnosed and treated a condition that other doctors missed. For this surgery, he arranged for me to get transport home since I did not have anyone to accompany me home from the facility. I am both impressed by his work and grateful for his kindness.

It was a pleasant experience

Very satisfied.

Quick and efficient. Friendly's receptionist.

Dedicated and concerned staff

Excellent service Dr. Rusu is awesome!!!

Great treatment

Very efficient, very friendly.

Good

Very enlightening

People were professional ,friendly and knowledgeable.

Great team work. Dr. Rusu is the most caring, compassionate and dedicated dr. can’t ask for more!

Staff is great , really like Dr Aliprandris. Wait times too long

Great

Average waiting time. Technician knowledgeable and thorough. Dr. answered all questions and provided necessary information.

I had a cataract removed and I was very satisfied with the Doctor Who did the surgery

Dr. Aliprandis is excellent and his staff is also excellent.

Very good Droctor I would recommend him to anybody

GOOD

Great receptionist’s , spacious waiting area, quick service, Dr. Was professional and to the point, answered all my questions. Very positive atmosphere.

Considering my surgery was 1.5 hours late Dr. Rusu is extremely knowledgeable in her field.

Excelente

Eceptional & professoonal

My experience with the staff was great. Everyone was knowledgeable and patient in answering questions. The time spent waiting to be seen however is unacceptable. I was in the the office for 2.5 hours with only about 20 minutes of actual hands on interaction with the techs and doctor. If I have an appointment at 1:30 and my first interaction with staff is 3:30 is disappointing and concerning

Satusfied

I highly recommend Dr. Rusu as a great eye doctor. She demonstrates a lot of patience when dealing with her patients, listen attentively to their concerns and always takes the time to provide satisfactory answers to all their questions.

Very caring team

Good

Great fast friendly service and precise care!!

It’s a long wait. I get upset. I am PLEASED with Dr. Apridias. I really can I really cannot see the keys too well to type. Thank you I am pleased.

Excellent service in every aspect including front office, technician, and the ophthalmologist. Dr. Elias is more than excellent and discusses and explains everything very well with the patient. Truly excellent staff.

Dr. Elias and his staff made my anxiety go away when I was there because they are aware that eye exams create anxiety for me. The process was smooth and calm. They answered all of my questions and gave me a good report. Thank you.

Great doctor

Very profecionally

I’m a new patient and hoping to be a long lasting one in the future. I found the office to be efficiently run. I saw Carmen, who ran tests on my eyes, and was very professional. Dr Aliprandis, who is the ophthalmologist, he explained everything to me and listened to my questions and answered them with knowledge. Then I saw Stephanie, who was sweet and very patient. All in all I walked out feeling it was a positive experience. I’ll be getting cataract surgery and will post more after I heal.

Waiting time is a bit too much. Otherwise, the technicians and the doctors are excellent.

Providing shades after the eye drops would help patients against UV rays, especially on sunny days.

Is beautiful people and amazing doctor

Prompt and proffessional.

Great information & Patience

Top of the line

Professional and informative.

Amazing staff and amazing experience
