The entire staff was very caring and professional, but I was particularly impressed by the time and thoroughness given to me to address my concerns. I've seldom had a medical professional listen and explain and answer questions so attentively and compassionately. I feel I received very high quality care, and highly recommend Dr Iskander!

Dr. Iskander and his staff are great!!! I was a little nervous about my appt after all were talking about surgery on my eyes. But as soon as I walked into the office I was at ease from the very moment I entered the office to the time I left. They were very informative and allowed me to ask as many questions I could think of. So next week May 26 which is my Birthday, I will be contact and glasses free!!!

Everyone was so professional and made me feel comfortable. I was so pleased with my appointment that i went ahead and scheduled for surgery .
February 19, 2016Lizette D.Verified patient
The phone call to confirm my appointment was messed up. The girl who called me said the appt was for 9:45 when in actuality it was set for 10:45. Oh, then she "fit me in" for 10:45--irritating to say the least! Dr. Iskander is very professional and doesn't just rush you out the door.
More than 1 year agoJeanette V.Verified patient
Apparently making ones appointment online isn't
the way to go. I waited for more than an hour - decided to reschedule for January. I truly respect and admire Dr. Iskander. He's awesome - but the wait times are just awful. :-(

Less expensive than some less qualified Ophthalmologists. Staff was very professional and personable, not pushy or rushed. I scheduled to get LASIK only 2 days after my evaluation!
August 10, 2015Angelica J.Verified patient
It was good but I had done everything on line and it took the office some time to find the paperwork. I made the appointment for 10 AM and had confirmation for that but the office told me it was 10:45. They saw us at 10:50. The staff was nice and accommodating, the doctor was great.
July 22, 2015Parker H.Verified patient
I had a great experience with my initial consultation. I didn't have to wait too long before being examined and the staff was great very helpful and able to answer my questions. I will be going back to continue with LASIK and look forward to doing so.
May 18, 2015Nicholas B.Verified patient
The staff was amazing and the doctor was awese. But I waited over an hour before they called me back which was a little frustrating with no update.
June 25, 2015Initials hidden
I did appreciate all the time Dr. Iskander spent with me. I respect the fact that he was honest with me. He did not try to sell the most expensive procedure yet he seemed to care about the results of the surgery and how satisfied I would be with it. Ginny was great at explaining everything and not putting pressure on me to make the decision immediately. It was a very positive experience.

Great and fast. Good people and nice.
November 17, 2014Richard M.Verified patient
Dr. Iskander is thorough, professional, and humorous! He put me at ease right away, walked through each of the scans with me, and made sure I didn't have any questions before leaving. His office staff was *excellent* as well-- the radiologist technician ensured I knew exactly what each test did, what to expect, and the expected results. The only negative (which is pretty common among MDs) is that I waited for more than an hour for Dr. Iskander to appear, although I had an 8:30 am appointment. He explained he had to do an unplanned, urgent-care procedure on another patient that put him a bit behind, so that's how it goes. Overall, a great experience and I will be back.

February 24, 2014Tania O.Verified patient
It was great. Dr. Iskander takes the time to make me and my husband feel comfortable and answers all our questions. He was not able to help us himself but made sure he provided us references and he is going to send information to the specialist.
We live in Austin; I do not mind driving to San Antonio to see Dr. Iskander. Thank you for helping me see the world better!
February 8, 2014Bobbie P.Verified patient
he is very compassionate and caring
May 29, 2014Jolene R.Verified patient
Everyone was very welcoming and informative. I came in for chronic headaches and even though my eyes were cleared and considered normal the doctor stayed and talked to me about other issues going on in my life that could be the cause of the headaches. The staff was very informative and answered all of my questions, they explained what each tool did and what each measurement meant. I recommend The San Antonio Eye Specialist to everyone!

I had a slight astigmatism that was bothering me and so I needed a second opinion. The office is well organized with the latest equipment and professional office staff. Dr. Nader is non-threatening, patient and took the time to explain his findings. I didn't feel rushed at all. He also told me he didn't think my problem warranted Lasik. Wow! He didn't try to sell me - but gave me an honest opinion which I so value.
