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.

Outstanding Surgeon
I am grateful to Dr. Shekhawat for the outstanding surgery he performed on my eye. He removed a melanoma on my cornea before it spread beyond the eye. He was always kind, patient and professional during visits as well as on the day of surgery. I feel fortunate to have him watching over my care as I recover to good health.

Wonderful physician and surgeon!
Dr. Shekhawat is the best physician ever! He agreed to perform surgery on my eyes after I had been turned away by 3 other ophthalmologists. He assured me that he could improve my vision and immediately put me at ease with his confidence. He patiently and clearly responded to all my questions. During my recovery, I experienced what I thought was a problem. He allowed me to contact him over a weekend and I was in his office first thing Monday morning. It turned out I was healing as expected, but he was very kind and understanding of my concerns. He treated me not only as a patient, but also as a human being. His surgical staff told me that he is also very kind and respectful to them. He is a wonderful person and excellent surgeon and I am very glad he is my doctor. Thank you, Dr. Shekhawat.

Amazing Result
I appreciate Dr. Shekhawat's care and expertise. Mine was a difficult cataract case but he was able to give me 20-20 sight, better than in many, many years. What a great result! Thanks.

This doctor was thorough and explained everything thoroughly. The biomechanics of my eye looked different and he adapted without missing a beat. A true professional and gifted eye surgeon.
