A wonderful experience

I have had the most wonderful experience with my doctor. She took great care of my eyes. She was concerned about me and my vision. She took all steps necessary to make sure I had a good outcome. The outcome of my surgeries was amazing and I would strongly recommend Dr. Epitropoulos to anyone needing cataract surgery. This is the first time in 53 years that I have been able t see without correction,

Simply wonderful!

Can't say enough good things about her! The top of my experience with Alice is when she fixed my old eyes in cataract surgery. I was amazed to receive the best vision I could ever imagine. Years later my eyes are still wonderful.

A wonderful doctor

Dr. Epitropoulos has been my opththalmologist for 14 years and did cataract surgery on my left eye two years ago. It was efficient, pain free and provided a great correction. She is the greatest!!!

I was apprehensive in the beginning, but it's a miracle! It's wonderful to wake up and see the clock without my glasses or contacts!

Best present I've bought myself

I had cataract surgery with Dr. E and decided to purchase the upgraded lens. It lets me see far away, computer and some reading without glasses!!! I can see as soon as I wake up in the morning!

dry eyes so bad i could barely open by evening.

Thanks to Dr. Epitropoulos I started on the fish oil she recommended. I have been on it for a couple of years now and have not had to use eye drops since.

Best thing that ever happened to me.

Dry Eye Treatment/Eye Floaters

I was diagnosed with severe dry eye, that needed to be much improved prior to having cataract surgery. Besides conventional treatment with Restasis, she recommended getting a special Dry Eye Omega 3 liquid from Physician's Recommended Nutriceuticals (PRN). It's been great! Now even when I yawn my eyes water easily and feel more comfortable. I rarely now need to use any over-the-counter artificial tears drops. In fact, she provided some free samples of some different brands, and those were preservative-free, which eliminated the buildup of additional residue in my eyes. All of her advice and suggestions have been excellent and completely trustworthy. I have felt so fortunate to be a patient here, and the excellent doctors on staff. I developed the cloudy-patch kind of eye floaters shortly before my first cataract surgery. They are like pervasive cobwebs that float continually across my center vision, such that nothing is ever truly in focus. Laser treatment has really helped!

Fantastic Experience

My initial thoughts on cataract surgery at the age of 53 were concerned, worried, apprehensive and even fearful. Let me just say - I was pleasantly surprised! Dr Epitropoulos was absolutely the best! She and her staff were the kindest, most thoughtful group of people I've every experienced.
The process (in both eyes) went smoothly and recovery was easy. Just had to follow the directions. My vision is clear and I know have color back in world!
Thank-you Dr Epitropoulos and staff for a great experience.

Fantastic

I have worn glasses for over 60 years and as a result of the surgery , I am now gasses free. If you would have told me before surgery that this would be the results, I wouldn't have believed you. can not express enough my satisfaction with these results. I spent 12 years in medical sales and had dealt with many doctors and Dr, E is at the head of her class and chosen profession.

No pain 20/20 perfect vision!

Her diagnosis was accurate, she found underlying small issue on my retina, she helped guide me to choose the best lens for my lifestyle. No pain or discomfort from the day of surgery on. I now have 20/20 vision in the eye she had done surgery on.
