Issues with geo indexes in mongodb - mongodb

Question

We have a collection of ~1M items that we query using the $nearSphere selector. It takes around between 3 seconds and 20 seconds to return 200 items.
From the explain plan of the request, we can see that is going through the same index 6 times.
Is it the expected behavior of mongodb query planner?
We would like to know if there is a way to force mongo to filter first by some field like endDate to reduce the set and then use $nearSphere?
On our monitoring system we can see some pagefault and assert but they might be related to the lack of IOPS of our hard drive.
Thank you for your help.
Here is the explan plan (I removed the rejected plans and troncates the BinData lines)
