I was referred to Dr. Pappas to have my narrow angles lasered. All that went well; however, there is miscommunication in the office. I was scheduled for a follow up to check my eyes and when I arrived I was not advised beforehand I was going to be dilated. I had to reschedule the appointment being I did not have a driver and also had to work that day.
The next week I went in, got dilated and was placed in Dr. Pappas office to wait for him. The Dr. Never came. I was in there for 45mins. I had to leave because I had already been there since 730am and its why I booked a first appointment of the day, so I could allow for the most time for my eyes to recover before work. My husband took off work to drive me.
There were other patients just sitting waiting in the exam rooms as I passed by. No Dr. in the offices either. The Dr. was not even there. No one in the office said 'hey he is running late' or, 'hey we dont know'. I left. I choose to go to another DR. I never received a phone call either or apology. Remember our time is just as important. Have some respect for that.

This has to be the most beautifully decorated medical office I have ever been in. There are fresh flowers, lovely wall art and soothing classical music piped into the waiting areas. The staff is so welcoming, friendly and helpful. Dr. Balouris is most skilled in his medical practices. He was very reassuring and put me to ease immediately. There were no hidden costs and he was familiar with my insurance and any questions I had. I have to say because of all the positivity and good energy, my experience was most outstanding. I highly recommend him on every level.

Dr. Pappas is so wonderful! He did my cataract surgery, and took extra time to explain all the aspects of the procedure. He even taught me how to use drops, which i never had to do in my 72 years! He's very kind and patient, but most of all professional. I thank God I came here for my surgery. Dr. Pappas is an outstanding doctor, a credit to the Balouris practice.

Mother had cataract surgery by Dr Balouris using UPMC Medicare insurance in 2018. She got stuck with a $2000 charge because an out-of-network anesthesiologist administered the anesthesia. Also she was given the cheaper yellow tint lens rather than the newer and better blue tint lens. So now she is getting her other cataract completed at UPMC Shady Side ambulatory center. Balouris Eye Center is a great place if you don't mind such 'gotcha' charges and if you could care less about what the quality of lens that is inserted into your eye.

My mother saw Dr Papas on a Friday and was told that her eye was fine. By Monday she was in the ER for a stye and the following Friday in an emergency eye center being diagnosed with a secondary cataract that can be removed by a 60 second laser procedure. This will relieve her blindness, which has her terrified. The fact that both of these conditions were missed by this eye doctor, has me concerned.

Excellent. It's not surprising that Dr. Balouris has always been so highly recommended in our community. I waited only ten minutes after my scheduled appointment time to be seen. The entire staff was so friendly & extremely professional. Dr. Balouris has a sterling reputation. He and his staff are exceptional.

I had Balouris selected as my work comp eye care specialist for my injured workers. Today they made an injured worker sit and wait to be treated for over two hours while they took 9 or 10 regular appointments in. Even the people in the waiting room were appalled. The receptionist was rude to the worker and his manager and they treated them like dirt for coming in to see them.
After all that time it took them no more than 5 minutes to remove the metal in his eye. I will never give them another single penny of my companies money. The only reason I give them one star is because I can't select none. You have plenty of options, don't go here!
