“Dr. Alina's professionalism is amazing. She took the time to listen to me and to look deeply into my eyes. No rush, but committed to give a good service. I highly recommend Dr. Alina”

“Visit was for my yearly eye exam and renew contact prescription. This was by far the most comprehensive eye exam I have ever received. Dr. Ishtiaq was very professional, yet personable at the same time. Answered all my questions clearly and completely. Only negative is that they were out of stock of a sample box of contacts for my prescription. Office personel were friendly and helpful.”

I went to DR, Alina I was having severe pain in my left eye due to a chemical that got into my eye during a face peel. My doctor was unavailable to see me. I found Dr, ALina Ishtiaq thru ZOCDOC she could see me right away.
She was amazing , she was attentive and quickly worked on solving the problem. I definitely would recommend and would use her again. The office followed up to make sure I got my prescription and to see how I was doing.
