Gerard D'Aversa MD

I moved to FL 11 years ago and I still wish I could have brought OCLI, most especially Dr D’aversa with me! One of the BEST eye specialists I have met… and I have met many as I have complex eye issues. OCLI came to mind yet again today, as I am still searching for decent eye care providers in my area.

I used Dr. D'Aversa's services about 10 years ago when I was suffering from a form of viral pink eye that was impairing my vision. Dr. D'Aversa prescribed a regimen of steroid drops to treat the virus and save my vision. I was very impressed with his medical knowledge and bedside manner. However, I had a negative experience with someone in the billing department who misinformed me that Dr. D'Aversa accepts the Metroplus insurance plan. As a result, Dr. D'Aversa was not paid for my last visit. I was turned off by the way that this medical office handled the situation. Instead of contacting me immediately to explain the problem and allowing me to correct it by switching to a different Medicaid health plan, they just turned me away at my next visit. I currently use a different eye doctor in Woodmere. I have always had a positive experience with his office.

I just had the worst experience. I no longer live in NY in the winter but made a trip here for a few Dr. appts. My appt. with Dr D'Aversa was made in late Nov. for the end of Jan. This morning I got confused as I usually go to the Garden City office. When I realized my mistake and that I needed to go to Valley Stream, I checked WAZE and it said I would arrive at 9:50 for a 9:30 appt. I should have just shown up , but out of courtesy I called the office to let them know. The receptionist said"let me check with the Dr." She came back and said after a 15 minute window I needed to reschedule. I have NEVER been turned away by a Dr. So needless to say , I'm finding a new eye doctor !

Thank you for your excellent care and kindness. You have a great team work. Feel comfortable with the assurance and the whole procedure of my cataract. So lucky to have you as my eye Dr🙏

Phenomenal doctor and is considered the expert specializing in cornea surgery. If you're thin skinned perhaps he's not for you. But if you want the best of the best and you can put aside your fragile ego then it's a no brainer. I had double eye surgery. It's called crosslinking and it's for people suffering from keratoconus. Now I'm going back to him for double eye surgery for cataracts.
