“It was clean and simple. The office was in one of the narrow domiciles, so it's all meant for work and no fluff. We were addressed in a timely fashion, although there were some issues with insurance. Despite that, we were able to both clear up payment and get our prescriptions updated, all within an hour.”

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Khalil for years. He is always professional, knowledgeable, and friendly and explains things well. His office is beautifully maintained, with the most up-to-date equipment.
May 31, 2025Mary Q.Verified patient
The Doctor was experienced and knowledgeable and conducted a thorough eye examination. He pointed out some issues that I will need to monitor and explained the changes in my vision. He outlined all my options and expressed his recommendations and he answered all my questions. I felt well looked after and would not hesitate to recommend his services.
Additionally, his multi talented assistant made me feel welcome and helped me pick out frames that were comfortable and affordable as well as attractive on me. I ordered them, fully loaded: transitional, bifocal, night vision and coated for scratch resistance.
January 9, 2025Linda E.Verified patient
Nice place and the doc was great and friendly. Only real gripe is that they didn’t have any frames within my insurance allotment and didn’t tell me that until I had found a pair that I thought were fine and how much they were. I asked for the script instead so I could go elsewhere and they didn’t seem to pleased. Already going to need to pay extra for blue light blocking. I don’t need a special name on my glasses.

Super easy visit today. Got in right on time for my appointment and was in and out for an examination and new contacts in 20 minutes! Awesome all around.

Quick, friendly, professional. Was informative and attentive. Explained each part of the visit simply. Fast help and clear, concise experience all around. Would recommend!

Everything went very well until it came time to purchase my contacts. I had to haggle on the price and inform the doctor on what my insurance covered. I later learned that my insurance could have covered 100% of the cost if I would have went with a website or another doctor that did not hike up their costs.

Dr. Khalil was friendly, personable, and honest, which I appreciate. He recommended glasses over contacts, due to eye issues he has seen, even though contacts 'make him more money'. However, he supported my decision to continue wearing contacts and worked to find my new prescription.
He was more thorough than other eye doctors I've been to. His front office staff was courteous and supportive when I picked out glasses. And Dr. Khalil even came out to give his opinion on frames and help her with insurance question.
Good experience!

Very patient Dr, that takes his time to answer all my questions. Explained everything in a clear any really easy way for me to understand. Did not rush the visit. The entire experience was perfect and spot on.
September 2, 2016Marwan D.Verified patient
He's a doctor and he's a salesman. It's a huge conflict of interest for the doctor treat you first and then sell you the meds afterwards. That's exactly what my experience was like. People are supposed to trust doctors cause they don't know any better and the way he conducts his practices shouldn't be allowed. He will diagnose you with what ever you have and then try to push gadgets that are "good for you"

Very pleasant experience. Friendly.

Dr. Khalil is friendly and knowledgeable. Even though it's my first visit, it's apparent that he's passionate about his profession.
While my insurance covers the regular exam, I didn't realize until after the fact that a scan of the back of my eyes would be extra. I would have done it anyway, but would rather know about it in advance.
