Excellent service
He went above and beyond for my 7 year old son who is suffering from severe seasonal allergies. His bedside manner was stellar, he took his time to answer all of my questions, was patient with my little guy, and went as far as to help deal with some Pharmacy/Prescription issues after hours so that my son didn't have to go the night without some relief. HIGHLY recommend... and I very rarely recommend anyone!

I wrote before but I guess it didn't post. Maybe my mistake. I'm writing again because I think Dr. Konstantinos Booras is an excellent optometrist! He doesn't rush you and he takes the time to explain things. I had trouble with my contacts and he gave me different kinds to try. It took a long time and many samples but he never made me feel anything but comfortable and well cared for. He is a kind lovely person, and wants the best for you. I am so grateful to Zocdoc that I found him because I think he is just the best!
Verified patient

I would highly recommend him to anyone and am definitely coming back to his office when a need arises next time.
