Got there thinking I may need cataract surgery but I have an eye that had a detached retina a few years ago which required emergency surgery so I thought it prudent to first have my eyes examined before going through the 10 machines of test pre op. When I got there I didn't se the dr I was out through a myriad of eye tests to the time of a few thousand dollars paid by my insurance. Still, it was a waste because by the time I saw the Dr at the end of the testing, I lost faith in him as an eye dr for me. I would have e preferred to meet him first and get an eye exam and then decide if I wanted to proceed with him. My insurance wasn't going to pay twice for the same tests with another eye surgeon and why should they? He told me I would need to upgrade to the laser procedure that given my retina surgery it would be better for me. But everything I read said the opposite. He also suggested the multi focal lens that insurance does not cover but I also read that given my retinal reattachment in my right eye I would not be a candidate for it. As it happened we changed insurances allowing me to start the process again. I went to another Eye Dr/surgeon in Bayridge who told me the opposite of what Dr. Aliprandis told me. In fact this other dr referred me to a retinal specialist for clearance for cataract surgery before even discussing the surgery with me. I got real eye exams where they thoroughly determined my eye issues before discussing cataract surgery. At this practice I felt like I was on a cataracts conveyor belt put through the same cycle as the 50 other people in the waiting room who all went through the same process. My new eye dr even suggested it wasn't his decision if I needed the surgery and that it was my decision. If it bothered me enough to have the surgery then he thought that made sense but that some people choose to live with it and that's absolutely fine to not have the surgery. I am having the surgery later this month and doing the bad eye first and then will see if the other eye with less advanced cataracts is even necessary. The retinal specialist noted scar tissue from the reattachment that could make the cataracts surgery outcome a bit less successful but that I should do the cataracts first and only if necessary after to have that tissue removed. And my surgeon and retinal specialist were on the same page about all of it. And now I'm getting letters to pay a $60 copay on top of what my insurance paid which would normally be fine but to me feels like such a money grab. Not a good experience at all.

I was very concerned when I heard I had a retinal tear in my left eye. After a thorough examination by Dr. Rusu she said it was slight, that it should be watched, and that it may have been there for a long time. She wanted me to come back in 2 weeks for another checkup. Dr Rusu was comforting and professional.

The best.

Amazing Doctor, love the team and highly recommend

Very professional

Dr. Aliprandis is a very professional and knowledgeable doctor. He is the best doctor for patients with cataract surgery.

I had scratched my eye and after calling the office I was squeezed in for an appointment. I was very thankful because I was in some pain. Doctor Aliprandis looked at my eye and prescribed some medicine that I could pick up at my local drugstore. He assured me my eye would heal by the following day which it did. Thanks to both the people in the office and dr.Aliprandis.

He was very thorough, kind and knowledgeable.

Excellent staff, time. I’m coming to this location for a long time recommended by a dear friend.

Below is additional comments to my visit. Please note this office removes bad reviews as I don't see my previous review, shame on you. I am at my wit's end with this practice. I have just received a bill for $174.88 for a procedure that I believed was covered by my insurance. At no point did anyone advise me that coverage was uncertain or suggest verifying benefits before proceeding. Shouldn't someone in the office have taken the time to confirm coverage or at least inform me that I could be responsible for the cost? Until now, I had chosen not to focus on my experiences with the front desk staff, however, in addition to being loud, rude, and condescending toward patients, they have consistently demonstrated poor communication and inefficiency. This billing issue is simply the latest example.I cannot believe the series of problems I have experienced with this practice. Ultimately, this is your office, and responsibility for the patient experience rests with you. The repeated mistakes, poor communication, and lack of professionalism have made this an extremely frustrating experience.What makes this particularly disappointing is that this follows previous issues that were serious enough to warrant an apology. After my negative experience with Dr. Mariya Gurvich, I appreciated the apology from Dr. Aliprandis, and hoped things would improve. Instead, I find myself once again an unsatisfied patient who feels poorly treated . At this point, I am at a loss. I would hope this would be resolved by the office and steps will be taken to prevent similar issues from happening to other patients.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Rusu's for close to four years and I can attest to the level of professionalism and general care exhibited by the doctor and the staff associated with the office. Im immensely grateful for all that the office has done for me. Immensely.

He is a good doctor. Very efficient. Very knowledgeable. Good energy. The wait time is the only complaint.

Dr. Aliprandis is caring, professional and answered my concerns. The staff is also professional and caring! ANNNNND POLITE! Thank you for an experience that eases my concerns!

The staff and doctors are very professional.

I wanted to leave a follow-up review after receiving a personal phone call from Dr. Aliprandis. Today, Dr. Aliprandis personally called me to discuss what happened during my recent visit. He apologized for the situation, acknowledged that I should have received my contact lenses, and spent about 10 minutes on the phone addressing my concerns. He was professional, detailed, sincere, and genuinely interested in making things right. While I was disappointed by what happened during my original visit, I was extremely impressed by the way Dr. Aliprandis handled the situation afterward. It's rare these days to see a doctor take the time to read patient reviews, personally reach out, and ask, "How can I help?" That level of care and accountability says a lot about both the doctor and the practice. He even offered me another appointment, which I plan to accept because I believe he is a great doctor who truly cares about his patients. Mistakes can happen anywhere, but the way they are handled matters. I greatly appreciateDr. Aliprandis' courtesy, professionalism, and commitment to patient care. Bravo to him for taking the time to personally follow up and ensure that my concerns were heard.

Listen to patients. Great Doctors

An extremely knowledgeable and professional specialist.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Ali Prantis in Bay Ridge for over a decade now, and he’s truly an outstanding ophthalmologist. He performed my LASIK surgery, and the results have been fantastic. He’s professional, thorough, and really cares about his patients. I highly recommend him!

Very polite and correct about the surgery that i went through and the results from. Dr Rusu was great I would definitely recommend her as a top retina specialist.

Excellent Work he talks and understand the people, and I was very happy with the work he did to me thank you

Very relaxing,informative and easy to speak with.Dr A speaks very fast though but you can ask him anything

First, I want to say that my initial visit with Dr. Gurvich was very positive. I explained that my primary reason for coming in was to renew my contact lens prescription, as I only had the contacts currently in my eyes and was concerned. She was attentive and also addressed a few additional eye-related concerns. She advised me to temporarily stop wearing my contacts, begin treatment for dry eyes, and return in one month. I followed all of her instructions carefully. At my follow-up appointment, I again explained that I needed my contact lens prescription renewed. Dr. Aliprandis has handled this for me in the past, and my family has been patients of his practice for many years. Unfortunately, the second visit was extremely disappointing. My appointment was scheduled for 9:00 AM, but Dr. Gurvich did not arrive until approximately 9:30 AM. When I was finally seen, I politely asked again about renewing my contact lens prescription and even brought my previous prescription from Dr. Aliprandis for reference. Although she had previously indicated that we would revisit the matter at the follow-up appointment, she abruptly refused and stated that she could not renew it. What upset me most was not only the refusal itself, but also the dismissive and unprofessional manner in which it was handled. We had already discussed this issue during my prior visit, and I had even contacted her other office before this appointment to remind her about the prescription. As a patient, I expected clearer communication, professionalism, and at least some effort to provide guidance or an alternative solution. Instead, I left feeling frustrated, dismissed, and disappointed. Dr. Aliprandis is highly respected, and my family has trusted this practice for many years. Because Dr. Gurvich is part of that practice, this experience unfortunately reflects poorly on the office as a whole. Based on my experience, I would not recommend seeing Dr. Gurvich

Satisfied with your work and services

Very nice experience.

Great service the people on the office plus the Rrs are awesome thanks

I just had my follow up to my cataract surgery and I couldn't be happier with the result. I'm young to have this surgery and Dr. A answered all my questions up front, guided me to make the best decisions about which lens to choose and managed my expectations all along the process. He performed the surgery and was very attentive to my progress as i was healing. I highly recommend this practice.

I would highly recommend Dr. Aliprandis to anyone who needs an ophthalmologist. I was extremely nervous about having cataract surgery since I lost my vision in my right eye when I was a child due to congenital cataracts and glaucoma! Now my left eye needed the surgery! He performed the surgery last year and the surgery was successful. My vision improved and my glaucoma level is lower. Thank you to Dr.Aliprandis and his staff for all that you did to make it a pleasant experience.

I had been wearing thick tri-focal glasses for twenty years when Dr. Aliprandis did my cataract operation and totally cured my eyesight - I'm 76 a nd havn't needed glasses ever since. He was careful, friendly and gifted!

The doctor and staff made my first visit to the office a good one. They were very kind and addressed all of my concerns.

ontime, excellent

Quick, efficient and professional .

Dr is nice and explains his work.

Dr Aliprandis is a great dr & the staff is great as well. I was seen same day as an emergency patient so I was very relieved about my condition.

This practice is run so very professionally and with such efficiency. I am so satisfied with the techs. Receptionists, and entire staff. Carmen is so courteous, explains every test and proceeds to nect step. Monica and Xandi have your interests as their first concern. Dr A. Always explains each test and informs me of all future issues to be addressed. This office is so clean and well run, all have patient satisfaction as their main goal, and I will never leave their care. I am always so satisfied when I leave this office.

The doctor is wonderful, but I waited 2 1/2 hours to see the doctor so that has to change. They are overbooking appointments.

I’m a patient in the clinic but will not come back, came for a walk in which they approved but when i came in the technician and the Doctor was surprised and rude , that i came in for a red eye, telling me in short that my problem is nothing compared to others and that they are very busy . I don’t think i deserve this treatment, i waited for 2 hours which i don’t mind but giving me a nasty attitude is not acceptable, and the doctor forgot to send my prescription coz she was in a rush to finish seeing me…

I have been coming to this office for many years, and Dr. Aliprandis consistently provides thorough, attentive care. He takes the time to answer all of my questions, listens carefully, and makes every visit feel comfortable and unrushed. Highly recommend.

Dear Dr Aliprandis, Thank you for your dedication and for taking such good care of me. I come to you very tense and leave very relax. All that you do is greatly appreciated. Ms Caleb

Courteous and comprehensive check up. Dr. Aliprandis is very reassuring.

Informative, integrity and professionalism

My appointment with Dr Aliprands was thorough and professional. He took his time to explore every aspect of my examination. This was my first time seeing Dr Aliprandis and I definitely would make another appointment to see him.

Competent staff communication was on point. I was very comfortable with the doctor's assessment of my condition. Several close friends had successful cataract surgeries and raved about the doctor. So I came in already confident that this was the right doctor for me.

Excellent

Very pleasant, and great doctor.

Dr. Aliprandis knows his craft well and is kind, thoughtful and asks questions to make sure we are comfortable. I have the highest regard for him. He did my cataract surgery some years ago with lens implants. It was as successful and pain free as it could get.

Always have a great experience. Everyone is so friendly

Dr. Aliprendis is a true professional. I had 3 eye surgeries in Manhattan and he carefully read and scanned all the documents from my surgeon. He examined my eyes and told me the truth gently about my operated eye. I would recommend him

I was nervous at first because the initial testing in the beginning was not as good as expected. After waiting for a long time saw doctor Elias Aliprandis MD he Reassured me he would look into it and do the exam hisself and the exam was done again and he was able to calm me down. He is very good at calming the patient down and keeping them in a comfortable position. He is extremely knowledgeable and very responsive to the patients needs and concerns. Excellent patient care and great at what he does!!! Thank you Doctor Aliprandis

Dr. Aliprandis is a wonderful doctor. I have extreme anxiety and he is very calming. My eye exam was very thorough and professional. The entire staff is very kind and attentive.

Dr. Aliprandis is an excellent eye doctor, as well as being very personable and patient. I have extreme anxiety and he made me feel very calm. The entire office is very hospitable and attentive.

I had what I thought was an eye emergency. It wasn't. But I was told to come in to get it checked out. I was examined and was told my condition was innocent but needed to be watched. I was very much relieved. I appreciated being examined when it was needed.

They were patient and kind with me. i have a severe hearing loss and i read lips. Diane S

The best. Totally trust-inspiring.

Very professional staff.

Dr. Aliprandis is fantastic. He has been my regular eye doctor for several years and he diagnosed my slow growing, early onset cataracts. They run in my family so I wasn't completely surprised, but it was still a nerve wracking diagnosis. When it came time to have the surgery Dr. Aliprandis made me as comfortable as possible, explained very clearly what needed to happen and performed the procedures himself. He is meticulous, transparent and good natured. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Dr and staff were very professional and caring. I would definitely recommend this office

I was seen without an appointment for a cyst under my right eye. Office staff is always welcoming and courteous. Dr. Aliprandis is a very competent and caring physician, reassuring in his manner, and explains things in a clear and direct way. I could not be happier with the care I received.

Dr. Elias Aliprandis was absolutely amazing! Had a foriegn metallic object in my left eye(work hazard) and Dr. Aliprandis was able to remove the object quickly, efficiently and pain free!! Would recommend to everyone I know!!!

Very sweet and personal. He is very patient with patients and answers all their questions thoughtfully.

Dr Aliprandis explained why I was not eligible for LASIK surgery very clearly and explained next steps and follow up care with a referral to another specialist very throughly. This shows that he puts patients first over profits. I highly recommend this practice.

Doc was nice and understanding Staff as well. But the wait to see him was unreal. Once you get dilated they make you sit for about over an hour just to see him for 5 minutes.

Exceptional Ophthalmologic Care and Service. I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding care I received from Dr Aliprandis and the entire team at Ophthalmology Associates of Bay Ridge . From the moment I arrived, I was treated with kindness, professionalism and compassion. Dr Aliprandis conducted a thorough examination and explained each step with clarity and understanding, ensuring I felt informed and confident throughout the process . The clinical staff were equally impressive, efficient, respectful and attentive to detail . The front office team facilitated a seamless check in and scheduling process, demonstrating excellent organizational skills and a commitment to patient satisfaction. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking expert Ophthalmologic care delivered with compassion and integrity. Kudos to all!

Very comprehensive eye exams by staff and Dr Aliprandis. He diagnosed my condition and immediately recommended several options to correct it. Getting an appointment for corrective surgery was quick.

Doctor Rusu is the greatest. It is such a pleasure to work with a professional who has a genuine interest in her patients. She speaks direct, clearly, and always keeps that smile.

Good and experienced doctor . I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of an eye doctor . She gives you hopes no like other doctor that I visited that told me “there is nothing I can do”

Dr. Aliprandis and his staff (Carman) are 'GREAT' as always!

Best Doctor

A very well organized and professional office setting. Ladies at reception area all very courteous and respectful. I am always impressed with the technicians who explain every procedure they perform before you see Dr A. DR A. Reviews carefully my past history and carefully explains his plan going forward, as I do have several concerns. Very much satisfied with new test offered to me, and so pleased with Alexandria and her professional technique. This staff knows their job and performs to the highest of training. It is obvious how this office runs so well and efficiently due to the excellent management by staff and Dr. A.

Excellent doctor

Exelent

There the best. I swear. Soo organized

I had a 10.15 appointment. I got there 9.10. They took me within minutes to start the three part process. I walked out at 10.30.

Dr. A IS THE MOST caring patient eye specialist. He is excellent,thorough and has the most gentle hands. He is also a GREAT listener.

Always a pleasure, the doctor and staff are nice and respectful always make me feel welcome.

The doctor was very knowledgeable and explained my problem and what to look out for. I highly recommend him. The office set up could use some improvement though.

Dr A is so professional and great bed side manner.

Good

Initially, I would say the whole experience from the time I walked into the office was excellent! The staff at the front desk were professional and pleasant! The assistant doing my eye tests was the same! She gave you the feeling that you were in good hands! Dr. Aliprandis was a delight to talk to and ask questions even though he went through everything himself! He listened and then had his surgical scheduler come in who went over everything and made an appointment for me once again in a manner that made you feel extremely comfortable! I will follow up my review after my procedure!

Great doctor. Very attentive.

The best doctor ever!

The doctor listens and does a thorough job of explaining and making sure that you don’t need any higher script than needed so that you can adjust to lesser script now.

Great experience

Dr. Aliprandis is a very caring Dr. Easy to talk to & he listens to what you have to say. I’ve had cataracts done on both eyes & the experience was really good.

She explained everything she was doing

Very helpful.

Great experience

Great Cordiality and prompt attention to patient care. !

Dr. Aliprandis was very attentive and professional. He explained all details of my condition, possible complications and ways to avoid them. All details of my threatment were presented and explained. Staff is professional and polite. The only drawback was waiting time. I waited more than an hour after all tests to see my doctor. Despite this, it was great experience. I am ready to wait to get proper and professional help.

Best experience ever. God bless you Dr. Elias Aliprandis.

Very nice Doctor, he listened to your concerns His very professional!

Good coordination among the doctor, doctor’s office & ambulatory center Dr answers questions directly & makes a patient comfortable

I came in for a cataract consult. The 2 technicians had some trouble taking measurements and had to call another Colleague for instruction. Prior to this, one of the technicians said she was doing this all day and walked away. Knowing that precise measurements are necessary I asked to be rescheduled. The technician said no, it’s ok, we have it now. The doctor came in and said the cornea test was not done correctly and he had to re-do and show the technician. I felt the technicians were somewhat unprofessional and inexperienced. However Dr. Aliprandis explained everything clearly and I know I am in good hands. I am very confident the cataract surgery will go well The staff at the front desk were very accommodating . I would recommend this doctor to others.

I found him to be understanding and he explained everything so I could understand.

Dr. Elias Aliprandis is a very qualified eye surgeon, doing these surgeries twice a week for 20 + years. When doing evaluation before surgery, he is giving true review and suggests only the right and simple things for your case, nothing extra. I would strongly recommend Dr. Aliprandis to everyone who needs help with complicated and simple problems with their eyes.

Muy agradable el trato y el personal, los recomiendo.

The office staff is friendly and efficient. It’s always a good experience when the time of your appointment honored as it was here. And Dr. Aliprandis is terrific!

Dr. Aliprandis is ONE OF A KIND hero DOCTOR! Unlike many doctors, he’s honest and treated my mom the way he would want a doctor to treat his mom, or family. He was so kind to my mom with her first procedure and when she messed up he understood and gave us everything we needed to recovery. He pays attention to the details, repeats like we’re his own kids and was so gentle. I recommend everyone to him! Superb professionalism, great staff and QUALITY MEDICAL!

My appointment was for 9:30 A.M. After only 15-20 minutes, my name was called. An assistant took my vital eye exam, including giving my eyes the drops to dilate my pupils. After about 20 minutes, the usual time to wait for the eyes to dilate, Dr. Aliprandis examined me. By 10:45, I was on my way home.

Very professional

Dr. Aliprandis is very experienced and competent doctor. I do not understand how he keeps up with each patient’s medical issues due to the volume. I am very pleased with the results of my (2) surgeries regarding cataracts.

Dr. Aliprandis an excellent, comprehensive examination. I appreciate his ability and concern.

I was treated with respect the personal and the doctor are cordial ,friendly and polite

Dr. Elias Aliprandis and his team are exceptional. I came in as an emergency without an appointment. Once I completed the intake forms, I was immediately called in for an initial consult with one of the practice’s staff. After they took my history and performed a cursory exam, I waited just a few minutes to see the Dr. Dr. Elias was personable and took his time to review my history and concerns. His recommendations were clear and the medications he prescribed have already made a tremendous difference. I am very thankful to have been seen so quickly and with such care.

Both my husband and I feel so comfortable with Dr Rusu and her team. Her medical expertise and her personality ensure us that we are in the best hands

Dr Rusu provided a most comfortable and thorough exam/treatment. I feel that I am in the care of an excellent provider

Helpful and polite

Helpful and polite

The professionalism and respect with he’s patient ….build the trust to be continue seeing at this office…..was excellent surgery…Doctor Aliprandis explained step by step the surgery procedures and how is so important to take care of your vision in early stage

What you need to know: -staff were friendly and helpful -the tech who was helping me did a good job of giving directions and making me feel comfortable during the tests -Dr A was very thorough but succinct, explained the tests and the imaging, periodically paused to make sure my questions were answered. I say this as an experienced Nurse Practitioner: there is a very good reason I recommend him to my own family and patients. Worth the travel, worth the wait (if you even have to!)

The last time I visited, yesterday, was the THIRD TIME the office had bungled my appointment, telling me I had the wrong date, which I didn’t. This is compounded by the fact that every time I visit, there is a completely new staff, both medical and clerical at the front desk. Therefore, no accountability. Absolutely maddening. Luckily yesterday the woman at the front desk was polite and helpful - an absolute rarity. The doctor himself is okay but the prelude to seeing him is not.

Dr H didnt prescribe meds when chronic condition flared up & never scheduled my very needed surgery in 2 yrs!!!

She is very knowledgeable most importantly she has a illumating personality

Dr. Aliprandis he is very caring and experienced I trust him to deal with my eyes. Always on time and responsible
