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.

I am grateful for the excellent care that I received from Dr. Mehkri. He is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor, and helped me when I was truly at my lowest. He has an excellent professional staff that is very friendly. They helped to ensure I received the care I needed.

We absolutely love Dr. Mehkri and his staff! I cannot begin to say how thankful we are to him for all the help he has offered my parents over the years. They have been patients of his for many years, and now in their 80s, Dr. Mehkri is still caring for them and their eyes to help provide them with the best quality of life. In the past, he has performed cataract surgery on both of my parents on both of their eyes. Additionally, he repaired an extremely serious issue my dad had with his eye recently. His prognosis was pretty grim, but Dr. Mehkri managed to save his eyesight in that eye, and my dad now has near perfect vision. Dr. Mehkri is a very caring physician. He is straightforward with his expectations for patient care and for this we are grateful! We also love that Dr. Mehkri doesn’t just focus on an elderly patient’s eyes, but on his/her total well-being as well. Patients may have a bit of a wait to see Dr. Mehkri at times, but there is a REASON! He is worth the wait!

Dr. Mehkri was able to diagnose what a team of ER doctors couldn't after a 15 minute check up. Followed up in his office a couple days later to do full test and sure enough his diagnosis was correct. Very knowledgably and caring Doctor. His wait times are high but it is because of his knowledge that he has a lot of patients. The wait was worth the diagnosis and peace of mind. Thank You

This was my first visit and I was a little nervous but staff was great. The process from my intake to seeing the doctor was quite smooth. I had heard great things about this doctor and when I saw all his degrees and accomplishments (17) beautifully framed in the hall and more in the examining room, I was amazed at how intelligent and learned this doctor was. I was able to see and experience the wonderful treatment this doctor employs toward his patients. He is now my family eye doctor.

I highly recommend Dr Mehkri! He has been seeing my son since he was 2 years old. That's when I first noticed my son's eye would turn in. I took him to our family doctor that told me the bridge of his nose was making his eye turn in. I still felt something was wrong and asked for a referral to an eye doctor. That Eye Dr referred us to Dr Mehkri. Dr Mehkri told us that if I had waited my son would have been blind by the age of 5. He is now 8, After eye surgery My son has been doing outstanding!

Dr. Mehkri is incredibly conscientious and goes the extra mile to make sure his patients receive the best care. He helped me to find a diagnosis for a disease that several other specialists had disagreed on. He recommended blood tests and followed up to make sure I received the appropriate treatment. He showed more care and concern than any of the other doctors I consulted over the previous several months. Thanks to him I am well again. He is professional and sincere, an honorable MD.
