Michael Nissen PC

I had a terrible experience with my vision, I had retinal tears. It all started with my right eye and soon after my left eye, very scary situation, but thankfully I was referred to Dr. Michael Nissen, whom is the BEST RETINA SPECIALIST IN NYC. When I went to his office for the first time I was very nervous, but that all ended as I sat in the waiting room. His staff were very accommodating and compassionate. What caught my attention about Dr. Nissen was the passion he has for his art, and may I add his attention and care for each and every one of his Patients. He exemplifies what total patient care should be across the board. He is very detailed in explaining the prognosis and procedures needed to make things better. Dr. Nissen listened to me as I expressed my concerns (which were, when would I be able to work again). His positive energy and enthusiasm were instrumental to my recovery. Carla, Teresa and Joe made this whole experience a better one as well! This group is awesome! I continue going for my follow ups.. Eternally thankful for their GREAT service.

I had a very pleasant experience visiting this office, from the people at the front desk to Dr. Nissen, everybody is super kind, patient and understanding. He is an specialist on retina surgery and my problem was way easier than that, but he took the time to propose a solution for me and it was very helpful. Jules did all the evaluation before the doctor saw me, and she is a sweetheart! Thank you!

Recently, I required urgent surgery to repair a detached retina. My husband immediately researched the top retina specialists in Manhattan and was fortunate to arrange an appointment with Dr. Michael Nissen. We met him ‪at 8AM‬, was diagnosed and had surgery the same day ‪at ‬4PM. To assess Dr. Nissen’s approach and competency as impressive would be to understate the excellent care I received from the doctor, his assistant and staff. I was treated courteously, professionally and, as was needed, swiftly. Since then, I have been back three times for follow-ups. My husband was so impressed with how my appointment time was respected and met by a wonderful and gracious front desk and how Dr. Nissen was caring and direct in his examinations and instructions. Thank you, Doctor. My husband could not have made a better choice to place my care in your hands.

Dr Nissen has the most professionally complete practice. He responds immediately to emergencies: night or day. He is highly compassionate and helpful. His staff are the most tightly run team. They work together with Dr. Nissen, to provide the patient with the best care possible. The staff always welcome me with recognition and smiles. I feel very safe in the care of Dr. Michael Nissen.

Doctor Nissen is extremely professional. Our experiences in his office have been pleasant. His staff is friendly and cooperative and most importantly he takes appointments in order; not when people show up and sign in. Most office visits do not last more then an hour and a half. That's pretty good for any eye doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Nissen for any complicated retinal issue.
