Everyone was super nice! Not a bad wait in the waiting room either. Much better than some other doctors. Smooth and easy appointment

Very professional. Explained everything very simply and so I understood exactly what was going on. Made a quick decision which resulted in me being able to begin my regime quickly.

Verified patient
Dr. Selvaraj had an emergency but the office called me and set me up with one of the other doctors. Very nice office, professional and timely. The doctor I saw explained everything so I could easily understand and I had a much better experience than my last visit with another ophthalmologist.
Verified patient
Dt. Selvaraj was great and my exam was fine. I wish I had known ahead of time that he doesn't do contact lens exams because now I have to come back for a separate appointment. Also not a huge deal but when I scheduled through zocodc I received a call that the time actually wasn't available and had to reschedule over the phone.
Very helpful. Visuals in the examination room to walkthrough what was going on was very insightful. Was very clear on treatment and next steps
