Saw the doctor for an emergency and I was scared. The woman on the phone calmed me down and offered me an immediate appointment. Upon arriving t the office, I was greeted promptly and the woman at the desk was so nice! The doctor was personable and calm. He listened and took care of me. I will return!!!

My mom had a wonderful experience with Dr. Nissman who did cataract surgery on both her eyes. She found him to be super kind and made her comfortable and confident through the entire process.

Dr Nissman did a great job on my cataracts. I can see well. Cannot believe how clear my vision is. And the blue bell facility where it was done is a very clean facility. Really nice people at surgery center as well. Keep up the good work.

Dr. Nissman is an excellent ophthalmologist, and also a down to earth, practical person who is pleasant and easy to relate to. This adds up to a GREAT ophthalmologist, a GREAT experience, and a GREAT feeling of trust. There are a lot of ophthalmologists out there, I'm thankful to have found him. My family has been under his care for going on 5 years. I would recommend him to anyone.

Did not have to wait more than 5 minutes to see the doctor. He greeted me himself and did all the work. I loved the ease of the exam.
