The staff who schedules your appointment does not listen to the patients concern or need to see the doctor. This is the second time I have had a situation where I am given an appointment to basically go in and pay the $50 copay and be told nothing can be done at the time of visit or by the doctor who will see me. I suffer from a sty recurring condition, by now I know what the doctor will need to do for me, I explained my situation and what I needed from the doctor. I was offered an appointment at the Astoria office to only take the drive from Bayside and be told by doctor Nissirios he only does the surgery at the Bayside office. Back at the end of July I had the same sty situation I called to see Dr, Nissirios, he was on vacation and wasn’t going to be available for about a month, I asked if Dr. Mahadev can do the procedure, I was told she could, I go in and as I am explaining to her that my sty is back she says, “oh I don’t do the surgery, I will give you antibiotics to treat it and come back in 2 weeks” . At that point I figured I wasn’t wasting my time to come back when obviously my issue and concerns is not a priority to the staff. It is very frustrating to be dealing with an uncomfortable condition I have no control over and to have to be at the mercy of a professional who’s staff does not prioritize your health or well being.

Dr. Nissirios was very helpful and did a simple laser procedure in my right eye. He knew exactly what to do…..while other ophthalmologists didn’t. I am very grateful for his work as I see so much better. I highly recommend him!

Took my mom for the first time and we both loved everything. Dr. Nicholas Nissirios and Staff are the best. Highly recommended metro eye MD
