Dr. Ashraf is a great doctor. He explains things to you in layman’s terms so you get a complete understanding. He is a patient and kind, never in a rush. I appreciate his honesty about my diabetic eye care. I wish more doctors were as respectful and professional as him.

January 17, 2017Kudzai S.Verified patient
I visited Dr. Ashraf for a lasik consultation. Though I am still holding back on whether or not to get the surgery, the experience itself was great. He seemed very confident and really knew what he was talking about, which was reassuring considering the procedure was going to affect my vision. He spoke a little bit quickly (though this suits my taste so all was well, it may be slightly off putting for others) while describing himself as well as the procedure. Nonetheless, the clinic was clean, the appointment was kept on time, and the staff was extremely helpful and pleasant.

Quite happy with this initial appointment. Of course, the important review will happen after the Lasik procedure is complete. Will update.
July 17, 2014Tom B.Verified patient
I am new to the area and as a new patient Dr. Ashraf was phenominal. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Not what I expected. I thought I was going to be evaluated for cataract surgery. All that really happened is that he confirmed what my optometrist already told me , that the blurriness in my left eye is being caused by a cataract. I asked a few questions about the surgery and he kept saying we would discuss next time. If it is inevitable that I will need surgery and my vision is already blurry then why would I delay in getting the issue resolved. I will see another doctor to see if their evaluation is a better experience.
July 2, 2014James L.Verified patient
I was pleased with the appointment. It saw Dr. Ashraf for a LASIK consultation and was very pleased with everything. I'm looking forward to the procedure next week! He was very thorough with the exam and was able to answer all of my questions. His staff was also very kind.
