I felt confident in Dr. Patel's diagnosis and recommendations!

It was a long appointment due to having many parts, but everyone was very nice and things moved along smoothly without excess waiting. The videos sent out before my appointment were exceptionally helpful. I watched them all twice, so felt confident when I went for my appointment that I understood the basics of cataract surgery and the many choices that are offered.

Initial visit was well managed, little wasted time with diagnosis and actions.

I arrived early and had only a brief period before being seen. This was my first visit and it was very well managed with minimal time waiting. Dr. Patel looked at data and did an eye exam. Recommended laser surgery to address glaucoma in both eyes from this data. Although I did not have any questions at that time, I subsequently submitted quesitons. Office responded on 1/24 and answered all my questions.

Very professional and felt very comfortable and assured of diagnosis

I was very impressed with every employee that interacted with me beginning with the receptionist upon my arrival. Each of them gave me an explanation what they were doing, kept the process moving smoothly going from one test to the next and giving me an explanation of what was being done. Dr Shamil Patel was very professional explaining the procedure very clearly. Before I left, another appointment was made to continue with the advised course of treatment and emails were sent to confirm and remind me of the coming appointment. All the staff with whom I interacted, were professional, courteous and attentive to my questions and concerns

The doctor was very knowledgable and the staff was great

I suddenly had high pressure in one eye and Dr. Patel was highly recommended. The staff squeezed me in two days. It only took about 2 hours of testing. I guess I have the beginnings of glaucoma, We have a plan to address the high pressure and I was very pleased with the whole experience. The doctor had a great sense of humor (I like that) and the staff was terrific and caring.

Staff and Dr are friendly and thourough with clear explanations.

Very busy location but never felt like being herded through. Appreciated explanations of all tests done so when Dr met with me I could understand all that he was reviewing with me.

Better than expected

I was referred for treatment of narrow angle glaucoma. Scheduling and new patient set-up was easy and efficient; very friendly and helpful staff. Had to reschedule last minute due to Covid, staff was very accommodating to get me back in quickly. Office is very busy, but runs on time; well staffed with very good technicians. They’re very aware of nerves and take great care. Dr. Patel is the best! Wonderful demeanor, took time to explain and answer questions; not only with me, observed him providing same for other patients. Needed iridotomy in both eyes, which was done same day. A little unnerving, but relatively painless. I am a patient for life!
