Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Would not recommend
The office staff was rude and condescending to every patient they interacted with in the 30 plus minutes I waited beyond my appointment time to be seen. Just a terrible experience from beginning to end. I will not be returning to this 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.

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!

Dr. D'Aversa is very attentive and friendly making sure are instructions are clearly understood before, during and after the surgery. Office staff are friendly and professional at both offices (Garden City & Valley Stream) and the Surgical Center.

What a wonderful, caring professional. Our daughter needed cataract surgery when she was a teenager. He walked us thru the entire process and took great care of her. Our whole family now uses him!

Unfortunately after being a patient of Dr. D'Aversa for years, I cannot recommend him as a doctor. He totally botched up a simple cataract operation. He described what I could expect and I got the opposite. He could not give me a valid reason but he was willing to do cataract surgery on the other eye to compensate. It would be like having two different contact lens prescriptions. He even had the audacity to suggest that it was my dry eye that caused the problem.

Dr. D'Aversa advised me on the repair needed when my first cataract operation with another doctor resulted in a complication. He carefully explained the risks for my second cataract surgery before the surgery. The day of the surgery, he explained each step as he performed it. The day after this surgery my vision was 20:20 and crystal clear.

I have found Dr,Daversa to be totally professional and caring. I was sent to him by my ophthalmologist due a certain eye condition that I have. He has brought relief from my pain and has always been caring.
