I just switched to you. my new Opthamologist, and I am extremely impressed with your knowledge! The office is very crowded however you get a 100% carefulness from everyone who works there.

I am very impressed that Dr Kassab referred me to you. Gratefully yours Toinette Markowitz

The clinical staff were equally impressive, efficient, respectful and attentive to detail .

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!

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. Elias Aliprandis and his team are exceptional. I came in as an emergency without an appointment.

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

I was handled with care. Had a full exam. Professional staff. Friendly. Seems better to make your appointment early in the morning. Less wait.

My visit was very good and was treated very well. I will always racomend others

Great

Dr. Aliprandis, is a great doctor.

All -0kay. …but the lonnng wait. It is understandable though due to the process required.

Dr Aliprandis is the best, however, the wait times to get in to see him are much too lengthy. Doesn’t matter what time my appointment is - there’s always a few hours wait to get in.

Excellent doctor!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Rusu for two years and she’s been incredibly insightful and patient in helping me navigate the difficulties regarding my vision and I’m immensely thankful … and lastly the staff at the Associates is exceptional … both professionally and personally. I couldn’t thank them all enough. Strongly recommended.

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.

My experience was good.

From the first step into the facility your greeted with a feeling of family. All of the women and men who are staff make you feel comfortable. They explain the steps to you, for whatever procedure you'll be having. Have no fear they will take care of you. Thank you Dr Elias Alipandris and staff!

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.

Dr. A is professional and pleasant. He listens to your concerns and fields questions. All for the ladies who work in the office are extremely friendly and attentive.

AAA+

The best doctor and staff in brooklyn. The staff here is awesome. Everyone is helpful polite and professional. Dr Russu is a caring,empathetic retina specialist who puts the care and well-being of her patients first. I can't say enough good things about her and the staff there.

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

Dr Rusu is informative , patient and makes me feel confident in her ability. I recommend her as a caregiver to anyone.

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.

Very thorough

Always a great thorough check up in an efficient manner.

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

Professional

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

I noticed something was wrong with my cision

Dr Rusu and staff did everything to help me feel comfortable AND that I was receiving the best possible care

Great experience. I have, and will continue to recommend Dr. Aliprandis.

The office staff and Dr Aliprandis are always very polite n compassionate

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

Dr. Elias is a professional, highly qualified, conscientious, experienced, polite doctor. His team is also very polite and attentive. I give an excellent recommendation. For those who need qualified eye care, contact Dr. Elias.

Well spoken, definitely knows more than most in his practice, as well as explained clearly the details of the procedures to choose from. Nice guy ❗

Dr Rusu is available when needed , patient , a good listener, explains everything , inspires confidence and is a damn good physician!

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.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Aliprandis’ for almost 10 years. He is highly competent and thorough. He always takes time to listen to my concerns and explains the possible/best options for treatment. The front desk staff is very pleasant and accommodating.

Dr. Aliprandis is very thorough and addressed all my concerns and questions. His staff is pleasant, patient and knowledgeable with patients. Thank you Dr. Aliprandis!
