Dr. Criss chose ophthalmology because it allows him to care for a broad range of patients, men and women, young and old. He finds improving and protecting patients’ vision to be extremely gratifying and strives to provide quality care that is both comprehensive and personalized. Patient education, and involving those he treats in their own health care decisions, is very important to him. As a comprehensive eye physician and surgeon, Dr. Criss provides complete medical and surgical ophthalmologic care. He has a particular interest in small-incision, “no-shot” cataract surgery, laser procedures for “after-cataract” and glaucoma, correction of eyelid abnormalities, and evaluation of systemic diseases which affect the eye, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Dr. Criss does not prescribe contact lenses. For your contact lens needs, please schedule an appointment with either Dr. Suzanne Bellante or Dr. Downy Nguyen.

Dr. Criss was great. I saw him for a possible rejection for a cornea transplant. I was in the process of finding a new cornea specialist but had this come up before I could. He was definitely able to manage the emergency visit and sat in this office with me and helped me find a new cornea specialist and book an appointment with the in the same week for urgent follow up. The office is nice and staff was pleasant.

Jonathan did a great job with the exam. I've been to other eye doctors before and the number of test machines in the office as well as the ability of the doctor made a big difference. In the past the prescriptions I've gotten haven't always been great but this one was perfect. Thanks!

Well, at first I was nervous and not feeling very well. This is not unusual whenever I see any kind of doctor, but Dr. Criss, MD, was really cool and treated me well. He explained my medical situation fully and told me of all possible outcomes in the near future. So I look forward to seeing Dr. Criss again, and working on my opthamological situation. Thanks!

I had severe eye problems one day. I looked up a doctor in my area (close to me, since I was practically blind) and found Dr. Criss. Although I had to wait, he was apologetic, and explained what had happened, and advised what could be done to alleviate the pain. He checked on me a few days later to make sure I was OK. I was very much relieved that my issue was handled with care.

He speaks Spanish, at least a little. I understood him and helped me understand my condition. To ease my tension about my condition, he advised me to re-scheduled again in a few weeks to check up on me and that has made me very secure. Also , he prescribed to me some eye drops that will help my condition get better faster. I would recommend him.

Not very talkative, but he was quick, thorough, and very helpful...he gave me what I needed even though I had forgotten some paperwork, which saved me from having to make another trip to his office. I also didn't get any sales pitches / pressure to buy glasses or contacts on the spot. All in all, a great visit.
