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

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

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!

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

Felt very relaxed throughout the whole experience

Everything I was told about the surgery was true and it was smooth sailing!

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

EVERYTHING WENT GREAT

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.

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.

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.

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. 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

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!

Amazing Eye Doctor! Would highly recommend to others!

Dr. Elias Aliprandis is very knowledgeable and never rushes his appointments with his patients. He truly cares that his patients gets the best care possible and make sure all their health needs are met. He goes above and beyond with reviewing medical background to ensure anything that can have an affect on the eyes is addressed and ensures all your questions and concerns are addressed. The staff at the office matches the level of service the doctor provides and it’s a testament to the pride he takes in his practice. Do yourself and your family the best thing you could possibly do for your eyes and come see why Dr. Elias Aliprandis and his team are the best of the best!

Dr RUSU hear from us and talk to us with respect, always with a smile professionalism, she teaches us about our eye problem

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

My appointment was fine - thorough and was treated well. Dr. A took his time to answer my questions. Just had to wait quite awhile beyond my appointment time before i was called.

The staff and the doctor was great very impressed they did a great job with my mom . My mom suffers with anxiety and they were helpful with her l will definitely recommend this facility to my friends and family

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.

Excellent and productive

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.
