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.

He is so nice and such good surgeon hands. He triple checks every thing before the operation and uses some really good staff to assist with the latest machinery. That is why I use him. I know I am getting the best Germany has to offer in machinery since they lead the world in state of the art laser equipment. Some of his machines cost millions but he buys them not to save money but to give good results. His staff around him are all top notch and stable so they work to bring you the best results. I've used him twice since 2007 and will again and again if needed as I age and need cataracts.

Dr. Ashraf and his staff provided excellent service in the cataract removal/lens replacement procedures for both of my eyes. He and his staff made this entire process pain free and stress free. His explanation of what I should expect was perfect. Without any reservation, I recommend Dr. Ashraf and his staff.

Dr. Ashraf did lasix surgery on me in 2001. My distance vision is still 20/20. I still see him yearly for check ups. He is thorough and knowledgeable. His staff are polite and helpful.

Dr. Ashraf, is second to none when it comes to eye care. Am so pleased that I picked him to have my Lasik surgery. Will definitely refer him to any of my friends that might be wanting to get rid of their glasses. Thanks again for the new set of eyes Dr. Ashraf!!

Dr. Ashram is a very caring Doctor who listens to comments and detects if the patient is completely satisfied. His follow up after surgery shows how deeply he is concerned about the patients satisfaction. I highly recommend. Dr. Ashram. I also need to address that the decor in his offices totally relaxes you and all the assistants are exceptional in knowledge, service and attitude. A joy that deal with.

Dr. Ashraf is the best! My experience at the Atlanta Vision Institute from consultation to surgery was top notch. He made me feel very comfortable with the procedure and answered every question I had. The Johns Creek office is absolutely gorgeous and so relaxing. The staff is very courteous and always greet me by my first name (as if they've known me for years). I love everything about the office, the staff, and Dr. Ashraf and would highly recommend them for anyone interested in LASIK.

Dr. Ashraf was very friendly, transparent and explained everything that would happen before the surgery, during the surgery and symptoms after the surgery. I had almost 20/20 vision within 7 hours after the short surgery.

The major problem is the charges that he won't summit to insurance that you have to pay and the fact he said lasik cataract was not covered by Medicare when it is. He is good but over charges me by over $2000 and will find another Dr for other eye. Other than this he is qualified but expensive as you need to prepay but can do it with dragging it over time..
