They gave me the correct diagnosis (that urgent care missed). They were able to get me into an earlier appointment than the one I originally scheduled. They answered all my questions fully and were helpful getting my prescription filled after all the pharmacies in the area didn't have what the Doctor originally prescribed. Thank you - will be back again for any eye care needs!

I was a little late to the appointment after witnessing a serious car accident and getting stuck in the resulting traffic. The staff and doctor were enormously rude and after my examination they never followed up with the paperwork and next steps for my procedure.

Dr. Patel was my ideal in every way: kind, patient, conscientious, clear. He gave me more than enough time to understand my eye issues. Also, Sonia, his assistant, was lovely. This was the very best experience I've had with any doctor in a long time.
