A huge thank you to Dr. Peter and all of the staff at Manhasset eye specialists. They are absolutely amazing. My grandmother has Alzheimer's disease and going to the doctor is not always easy and can often be an upsetting and distressing experience for her. As a nurse, I know what it means to give good care - and they give EXCEPTIONAL care. I have never witnessed an outpatient office work so well with her. Our family rotates taking her to and from appointments and each of the staff members were so attentive and mentioned seeing my sister, father, and aunt, at past appointments. That type of care and attention is not easy to come upon in medicine. Dr. Peter was not at all offended when my grandmother forgot his name and was so personable. Also, with it being the case that we take turns - no one had an issue explaining/re-explaining things and making sure I understood her case and medications since it was my first time at this particular office. That really impressed me as it can be frustrating communicating with multiple family members about the same thing but, they did it with such empathy and care. The interactions that I witnessed from the moment she checked in, to the exams, meeting with Dr. Peter, etc,. were all professional, respectful and thorough. They also have such great senses of humor and were able to make my grandmother smile and laugh which is so sooo sooooo rare with patients experiencing Alzheimer's/Dementia, especially at the doctor. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the amazing care they are giving to my grandmother. 100/10 experience, praises all around. Outside of the staff, the office itself is clean and well put together. Parking is available.

I lost my sight and, evidently, was seen by Dr. Petratos in the ER. After referring me to a money-hungry retna specialist who refused to honor her referral and see me immediately, who also refused to accept my insurance and treated me so poorly, Dr. Petratos rushed me through my follow-up with her in under less than 5 minutes (after she had me wait for 1 and 1/2 hours past my appointment time) and made a poor attempt to address her problematic referral to Dr. Fastenberg of VRN. She NEVER returns patient telephone calls. And, to top it off, both Dr. Petratos and Dr. Fastenberg REFUSED to sign my short-term disability claim forms, despite my having no sight, which has now rendered me homeless. It happens that quickly, folks.

She is a lovely person, kind, patient and a very smart ophthalmologist who can also refract. Thank you Dr petratos
