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.
Was having some vision changes and concerns and was able to get an appointment within 24 hours. Everyone was very friendly. Doctor was very informative and put my mind at ease.

I called Dr. Desai for new floaters I was having. He quickly diagnosed a retinal detachment and communicated the details to me and got me into surgery immediately. He is the reason I am able to still see today! He is a very candid and caring doctor.

I was referred by my optometrist for a suspected retinal tear. Dr. Desai got me the same day, examined me right away and treated the retina tear immediately. The procedure went very well. I believe he is one of the best doctors in the area. He is highly skilled and will put you at ease immediately.

Dr. Ankit Desai is a lifesaver. After seeing multiple retinal specialists with little progress, I finally found someone who truly listened and cared. Their expertise is unmatched, and my vision has improved dramatically under their care. I can’t thank them enough!
