“Great experience! Dr Esfandiari was very personable and took time to listen and also educate me about my exam. Autumn at the front was thorough and very helpful in picking my frames. The space was bright and clean. Highly recommend”
Ashley W.August 28, 2025
“The office was clean and bright and comfortable. The receptionist was very helpful both when I arrived and going over my bill and deciding on frames. She was very knowledgeable and clearly explained all the charges. The doctor himself was very friendly and easy to talk to. He explained everything clearly so I understood what he was doing. His office had the latest technology and made my exam very easy and thorough. I felt confident in what he told me about my eyes. I had 2 other doctors in the past that were fine but Doctor Esfandiari was much better overall. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for an OD.
