Patient Reviews
Oct 15, 2023
Dr. Nissirios operated on my sister-in-law who came in from FL to see him. He was incredibly thorough spending time to fully explain what she was experiencing and why. Truly caring doctor who makes his patients feel comfortable. Surgery was a complete success and I will continue to recommend him to anyone who needs surgery. Drove an hour from Long Island to his Astoria office for appointments and would do it again!
