“The staff were friendly and professional. My waiting was fast. I had a good experience. The office is nice and clean.”
Flavia P.January 30, 2026
“ As a very thankful mother, I cannot recommend Dr. William Kass and his entire team enough. We recently brought my daughter in for a comprehensive eye exam, and the experience exceeded all expectations.
Dr. Kass is truly unparalleled. He is incredibly thorough and takes the time to explain everything clearly, making sure we both understood the findings. Beyond his expertise, Dr. Kass is exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, which instantly put my daughter at ease. A special thanks goes to his tech, Karina who was fantastic, friendly, empathetic, respectful, and professional. Also, both Kiara and Candy, were also phenomenal, incredibly friendly, professional, respectful, and made us feel warm and welcomed the moment we stepped through the door. Furthermore, the office environment itself is top-notch. It is very neat, clean, spacious, and extremely organized. It was such a peaceful environment. We highly recommend Dr. Kass and his entire team!”

I'm yet to meet Dr Sajid Malik, because, he did not see me. Another doctor may be his assistant junior doctor attended me and told if I want surgery then I shall be referred to Dr Sajid Malik. Truly speaking I became little confused and took another appointment after 3 months when I can do the surgery, if needed. They told me that I have combined type of cataract that can be treated by FACO surgery to replace my lenses. Without consulting Dr Sajid Malik I am yet confused what to do.

Dr was very especial, with all my questions
July 15, 2025Rodrigo G.Verified patient
This practice uses bait and switch. The provider I saw, although not bad, was not the provider my insurance recommended and not the provider that I booked on ZocDoc. I don't know how you can see the actual expert provider that you are supposed to see, they simply make the appointment with whoever needs patients. The general eye examination is divided into 3 appointments instead of 1, which I guess is a way to charge more.
June 3, 2025Initials hidden
I was not seen by the doctor I booked with on ZocDoc and the Doctor I was seen by was incredibly rude and inpatient. They took a personal call during my appointment and I waited about 3 hours to be seen. They then spoke about my treatment in the waiting room in front of other patients and continued to tend to me in the waiting room in front of other patients rather than bringing me back to the examination room. It was incredibly unpleasant, the only good thing I was provided was a referral to another specialist.
May 28, 2025Lidia Z.Verified patient
The appointment was made to see the Doctor Sajid Malik. But during my visit, it was different doctor, whose credentials or experience was not known to me. Otherwise overall it was good experience.
April 9, 2025Mohammed A.Verified patient
Loved it here! The ladies were so nice and It was my first time so it definitely took more time and I went in later than my actual time but that was my fault and as soon as everything was done they tended to me quickly.

February 16, 2025Keith S.Verified patient
This was my first visit with the ophthalmologist, and it went well. The front desk staff were very polite and friendly. The front desk person that scheduled my second appointment explained to me on what to possibly expect for my next visit. I’m looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you so much for making the first visit a smooth going process.
