Dr. Nicholas J. Nissirios

I am very happy with this practice . I took in same day as i had a medical emergency as a first time patient cuz my regular eye doctor couldn't, just do walk in in another office than astoria and waiting time is hours . Iam glad that i found dr nissirios on google search ! The phone call was quick and they got me to see him withing the next hour ! From the receptionist , the nurse to doctor . Very knowledgeable and understood my concerns !!! Helped me understand what's going on and explained well my condition . I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an ophthalmologist. Iam switching my hubby and kids to him !!

I would like to thank remarkable Opthalmologist Eye Doctor Nicholas Nissirios. His magical hands gave me my vision back. His is not only a high professional doctor but also a wonderful human being. I feel really lucky I got him as my doctor. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs his help. Thank you so much, Doctor!

Highly recommended. Dr Nissiros is the man - professional, skilled, and excellent bed side manners. A true pleasure. I was referred here by friends in the healthcare industry for laser eye surgery (SMILE) - many of whom were happy customers themselves. Easiest one of the best investments you could make. For the longest time, I just never made the effort to get the consultation and commit to the procedure - which turned out to be quick (under 10 minutes) and painless; I was up and running as usual the day after - driving, working out, watching TV, you name it. Pretty incredible. As someone with nearsightedness for 24 of 33 years of his life (last 10 years both eyes ar -6.0), I cannot express how life-changing it is to see 20/20 and no longer rely on corrective lenses. The joy of waking up / seeing everything clearly and playing sports without worrying about contacts popping out can only be understated. If you’ve ever considered laser eye surgery, do yourself a service and pay Dr. Nissiros a visit. He will run some comprehensive tests and walk you thru the best options (he does Lasik, Smile, etc - everyone’s situation being different).

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.

My Mom just had cataract surgery with Dr. Nissirios and he was fantastic! With laser surgery, he was able to resolve a cataract that had hardened to the point where she practically couldn't see anymore in that eye. Not only that, but he even came to tell us personally that the surgery went well because he knew we were worried about it being a difficult cataract case and she was the last patient of the day. I also want to compliment Debbie, who helped coordinate the surgery - she answered so many questions with unlimited patience and even asked Dr. Nissirios to speak to us at the last minute when we needed to settle an important question before surgery. Elizabeth and the receptionists are also very nice. Dr. Nissirios deserves all his rave reviews on ZocDoc, here, and Yelp.
