Dr. Karen Susan Nipper, MD

Gave me trial contact lenses that did not work. Vision was more blurry than without them. Calling the office was not helpful. They asked me I wanted to try them again. Why, I asked. They set an appointment and I’m here now and it appears I’ll have to come back because they are out of stock on some of the contact lens (same as last time) If you have plenty of time to go back and forth on trials, this is your doctors office. I’m looking for options and efficiency. Been here for 2 hours now and still haven’t seen dr Nipper.

Dr. Nipper recently performed my pair of cataract surgeries. Throughout the process she has been kind, informative, and supportive, while answering every question and putting me at ease through a fairly scary process. I plan to keep her as my regular eye doctor.

I first saw doctor Nipper at her upper east side office in Manhattan. She is absolutely incredible, the best Botox I have ever had. I have to admit I have a lot of experience. Her cosmetic skills and eye for symmetry are very scepial. Now I travel to Stamford to see the good doctor and we are booking new cosmetic adventures. Looking forward to that. Stephanie

I have extreme dry eyes, since I was a little girl people inquired about how red my eyes in contrast to my light green eyes. It has being the source of much insecurity thru out life. I am 43 years old now, a friend recommend Doctor Nipper, gentle, sweet and she spent a great amount of time listening to me. In a matter of minutes she fixed this problem that so many doctors never cracked. Plugs!!!! Since then I feel like another person, no more need to use harmful drops that i learned made my eyes even more dry, even when i go to the beach or the swimming poll i no longer have any issues. I was amazed that anyone would be capable of leaving anything less then amazing, or anything less the a very dedicated doctor who changes lives.

Dr. Nipper was knowledgeable in her specialty (Ophthalmology). She was very thorough in explaining the procedure. The staff were very accommodating.

Dr. Nipper is an amazing Doctor she found something wrong with my eye that was there for a few years That my previous doctor missed in his exams. I will be watching to see where she goes next as I will follow her. Shoreline Eye Group lost a great Droctor and now a patient!!

Dr. Nipper is a caring person who helped me with my eyes. I went in to see Dr. Nipper as my eyes were tearing all the time. After my visit she explained to me the problem and how to solve it. I will always see Dr. Nipper for any eye problems, as well as my annual exam.

Gave a very extensive exam and then focused on her ipad. Had no Idea what were her findings and there was no talking- just silence for entire time. I finally spoke up and requested her findings. She tried to alarm me , told me she needed to refer me to another doctor . Why I asked. He's more experienced she said. Then she told me she was resigning !! Mind you I just came for a new prescription for glasses. Avoid her. Avoid the office she came from.

The short version of Dr. Nipper's excellence: Dr. Nipper is a compassionate and highly skilled ophthalmologist. I *highly* recommend her to everyone. Dr. Nipper takes careful time with me at every appointment, and I'm no special case. I have allergies in my eyes, which must be nothing compared to the vision-threatening issues that can happen to people. Dr Nipper's thoroughness is only outdone by her thoughtfulness in care. She has a quiet demeanor and is very focused on not missing one-single-thing. I've never had a better doctor - honestly. I've circled through many, many different doctor's offices in NYC (I finally found a good general practitioner after 4 years), yet none have been as thorough and kind as Dr. Nipper. The longer story (I'll never forget this): I woke up, one day, thinking I had pink eye (conjunctivitis). I did a search on ZocDoc and found Dr. Nipper, purely by chance. I made an appointment, and was in her office just 2 hours later. I filled out… all of the new patient paperwork. It sat on the desk when she came in. Dr. Nipper got right into knowing me and examining my eyes, before going through the paperwork. I appreciated that she wanted to connect on a human level before going into usually-less-than-helpful paperwork. After a thorough exam (during which I kept muttering about pink eye), she sat back and asked, "Have you ever had an autoimmune disorder?" *I was stunned.* I had actually had a major autoimmune issue 6 weeks prior. I had a team of doctors managing what could have been a fatal issue, but was actually fairly easy to treat once diagnosed. I was 90% recovered by now. As my luck would have it, my autoimmune disorder came out through my eyes for once last display before it was finally cured. This is why I immediately loved Dr. Nipper. She hadn't had a sneak peak at my chart, listing out all the autoimmune junk. She didn't let the gross pink-looking eyes distract her into writing a quick antibiotic for conjunctivitis. She immediately caught an autoimmune disorder! I was shocked at how she did this. She gave me excellent treatment, and I've been going back ever since. I followed her between practices, and will follow her anywhere else she goes. Luckily, I just go for issues with allergies, now. Even still, Dr. Nipper treats me with the utmost care and thoroughness. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Karen Nipper.

MY VISIT WITH DR NIPPER WAS GREAT! SHE ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS. SHE WAS VERY NICE AND PLEASANT. I LEFT SATISFY.
