Dr. Joseph Peter Aiello

Absolutely horrible experience. Waited 2 1/2 hours before Dr. waltzed in. I had my purse in hand on the verge of walking out. Dr. states he likes to take his time. He is arrogant. Did procedure in his office which was most painful experience of my life. Hysterical by the time I left appt. over 3 hours later. Surgery went well. Never got follow up exam; waiting room full, atrium full, standing room only; already over 1/2 wait. Never again.

He is the 4th opthologist I have seen and first to truly help me. He is amazing!

I have known Dr Aiello for a long time, he is a very experienced and expert ophthalmologist. He is very knowledgeable and informed about his specialty. He is a very busy surgeon no doubt. Whenever I see him, in spite of being busy, he takes out a few minutes to talk to me. I feel honored to know him.

I was in his office for over 3 hours for 5 - 10 min of his time. He was rude, non-caring, accused me of not doing anything for myself without even asking me one question about what i had been doing and wouldn't listen when i tried to tell him anything, just kept on going like i was not even talking. When he was walking out of the room he said, oh yeah, any questions? i said yes, am i going to go blind? he said, you may, you may not, how do i know, i can't tell the future. Then I said, I think i might have Sjogrens Syndrome and he said, so what, what difference does that make! I left there feeling upset that my insurance company would ever refer me to someone of this caliber.

I don't need my hand to be held or to be coddled when I visit a doctor, but I do believe that I should receive some respect. I took my grandmother here because her eyelids are drooping and it is causing her irritation. We waited for over two hours to see Dr. Aiello, which is a bit lengthy, but not the worst thing in the world IF the doc is doing a thorough job. We didn't get that in the least. Dr. Aiello popped in for 5 minutes or less, banged my grandmother's head around while rapidly spilling out information to the nurse and then talked to my grandmother and me in the most condescending way. He explained that she was just old and would need her lower lid pulled back. When we asked about the upper lid (which is also giving her problems), he said we'd need to make a separate appointment for that. He also didn't give a good answer when we asked if the procedure would create any extra issues since my grandmother has ALS. He just said that she is old and she'd be fine. Then he left. Such… a disrespectful man, not thorough, not helpful and the wait time is terrible. My impression was that the doc just wants the money for his procedures and does not care for his patients. You can find plenty of other skilled ophthalmologists who care about you. This one isn't worth your time.

Dr. Peter Aiello is a very rude doctor he did a biopsy on my right eye never contacted me for results I had to wait 3 weeks before knowing on my last visit with him in the mist of him checking my eyes he takes a phone call that lasted at least 10 min I still don't know what's wrong with my eye he doesn't care about his patients at all I won't be going back to see him again

Dr. Aiello was very rude. First off, he spoke to us as if we were ignorant. He was very aggressive. He did not take the time to allow us to answer the remarks that he made. He never really asked questions he shot out cutting comments in questioning tones. He was insulting and had NO courtesy. I have read reviews on him and many of them say that his work is exceptional that it makes up for his bedside manner. I do not agree, not when you have a person who is already terrified when it comes to having a life changing procedure. You want to feel comfortable from beginning to end. You want to feel at ease from the first time you meet YOUR SURGEON. His nurse is AWESOME!!!

Most Specialists office you will wait more than an hour to be seen. Most individuals ignore or simply don't understand what goes behind the scenes at a specialist office. Dr. Aiello goes above and beyond for every patient he sees. It's a shame to see that most people seem to vent on the web simply because they do not like the wait time and or they didn't like the bed side manner. Although those things are important, the main reason for that doctors visit is to remedy the medical issue the individual is having. If you want the best, your going to need to wait. Bring a book, a laptop, the office has free wifi. He is the best.

always busy, sometimes the wait is over 2 hours past appointment time. good docs often are very detailed and that takes time. Aiello is just busy. rushes too much, somewhat disorganized. aggessive in procedures, not conservative. that's what I wanted at the time. now, 2 years later, sure wish I'd found a conservative opthalmologist who would have been more cautious. I'm now in a situation that may not be reversible or operable. not fun. if another eye doc won't operate, maybe he's the one who's right. beware.

Doctor Peter Aiello was defensive, irritable and condescending during our visit. I was shocked. He may be very good at what he does. I will never know because we have no plans to ever return to this office. There are other knowledgeable doctors with great experience that do treat their patients with courtesy and respect. These qualities do not have to be mutually exclusive.
