I truthfully cant believe all the bad reviews. Dr Derespenis is the most amazing eye doctor. He did my eye surgery as a little girl and saved me so much heartache and gave me so much confidence back. When it was time to take my daughter for her first eye doctor visit, I felt so at ease knowing he was still in practice. He is a master of his craft- and arguably the best eye doctor on the island/in New York.. so OF COURSE the wait time for appointments can be long. Sure, you may wait a while in the waiting room as well.. but that's because he spends so much time with every patient and has mastered his attention to detail. Love him and the office so much!

We waited six months for this appointment. They had five months to notify us, and now they cannot care for my daughter within a reasonable amount of time. This is called patient abandonment and I will be filing a...read full review
