D'aversa Gerard's Online Review Report Card

Excellent services. Dr D'Aversa and his team at OCLI provide excellent care and service to their patients.

He was a very good doctor in his bed side manner and top notch in his work. I would recommend to all.

I did not select my ophthalmologist based on personality as many clearly have on this site.    I based it on performance.  Dr. D'Aversa is the best of the best.  I had cataract surgery about five years ago and am still pleased today.  Dr.  D'Aversa is very professional as his entire staff. I had to do touch up (YAG) on both eyes and also had terrific results.  I highly recommend this no-nonsense practice.

This doctor barely spends 5min and doesnt have time to answer questions. He runs out before you can ask another question. He seems to care about making most $ without having to spend more 8 min with a patients. Very unprofessional way of running a practice.

Terrible experience. He doesnt like to spend a lot of time with patients even when his office isnt busy. He has one foot out the door when you ask questions. Very disappointed. He has an assistant do 90% of his work and he shows up at last minute for hardly 5-10 min.

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 !

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 fromkeratoconus. Now I'm going back to him for double eye surgery for cataracts.

This "Doctor" wreaks of arrogance and disdain for people, that was my experience with him. The sad part is that he does his job well, but he's one of those doctors that is going to let you know that he has zero interest in what you have to say. He comes off snooty, and aloof. The eye exam was thorough, but cold and rushed. OCLI seems like a conveyer belt operation, usually long waits and crowded office. I felt like giving him some life advice, because he seemed like he could use it. Bottom line - poor interpersonal skills, fairly good technician.

Dr. D'Aversa was the only Doctor who diagnosed my problem. I went to 3 other Doctor's before him and they did not help at all!!! He finally solved my problem and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
