Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Always a wonderful experience and never anything to complain about.

Knowledgeable & skillful
I'm used to a health care professional introducing themselves to me, looking me in the eye and shaking my hand on initial visit. I think that the doctors at this practice are so overbooked there is little time for niceties.I look forward to my next appointment with Dr. El-Sanhouri. I admire his good works globally and appreciate his knowledge and skill as a retinal specialist.

Awesome doctor and awesome!
I can always count on Dr El to give me the best care … he shares information about my current condition and makes recommendations as to what will happen in the future.Lauren, his medical assistant, is the best. She is ready to provide all “drops and drownings” that I need and always concerned about my comfort.
