Dr. Maritza M Nickerson, OD

As an medical advocate for my child who has a diagnosis of Autism, he has trouble communicating and speaking up for himself so I attend his medical visits to make sure he is communicating his needs. Dr. Nickerson was completely unprofessional and rude and got into my face and told me to "stop with my comments". I responded that he has trouble with communication. Her response was that she has a son and boys can communicate just fine. This is not a comparison of her child who I have never met. Nor does this have anything to do with gender. As a parent I have the right to ask questions and help my son communicate his needs. I also need to mention that she initially refused to check his vision claiming there is a 2 year expiration on his glasses prescription. It was an eye appointment and we were there to determine if his vision had changed. I had to push her into checking his vision which is unbelievable considering she was billing our insurance for the eye vision check.

Maritza Nickerson ,OD, Is the best eye dr. I have ever had , she is so professional and caring . I have old injury of my right pupil for forty seven years, it stays dialated. She had prosthetic contact made for me. I can go out in the world and not be embarrassed by people asking about my pupil anymore. I had no idea these contacts existed. I very highly recommend Maritza Nickerson
