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.

Will never see her again.
I have seen many fabulous ophthalmologists in my long life because of problems with my eyes. In a new town, Austin,TX, I saw Dr Day Ghafoori and was stunned and so disappointed. She only saw me for 3 minutes and very nonchalantly as she was headed for the door misdiagnosed me with a disease that could have cost me my sight!! I was terrified. BEWARE!!!!!

Wonderful doctor
My visit was at 10:15 and I was taken in for tests at that time. I was finished with my visit in less than an hour. Very efficient staff and very personable. Dr. Day is an excellent doctor and so sweet.

The best ever
I have been a patient of Dr Day since 2016, when I got diagnosed with cancer in my left eye. She saved my eye and does monthly injections to continue to save my eye. She is absolutely amazing and the nicest and kindest doctor I have ever had. Anyone that sticks a needle in my eye and I trust must be amazing. The other plus is her husband is my oncologist. Even my doctor that did my cataract surgery said I am extremely lucky that Dr Day is in Austin because she is the best at what she does. Thank you Dr Day!!!!

Most efficient office I have ever seen, totally astounded how quickly we moved from 1 work area to another, all staff totally prepared, yet it seemed unhurried with total concern for the patient.. Dr Day-G is so great. I had some key questions about some meds, Dr Day- G answered each concern clearsrly and patiently, a consummate professional in every way. On t he other hand, this survey was annoyingly hard to input or correct, so I know Dr Day had nothing to do with it! I struggled through just because she is the best example I can think of how s Dr should run her office and how to interact with patients.

I've been seeing Dr Day for several years now and every interaction I've had with her have been exceptional from laser surgery to simple follow up exams. She takes the time to explain everything. Would highly recommend.

I believe Dr. Ghafoori is a very good physician; however she spent very little time with me yesterday at my appointment. She was probably with me at most 1 minute and it would have probably been less if I hadn’t asked her a couple of questions. She needs to be more interactive with her patients, not just come in, do her exam and leave quickly without saying much.

She does a very thorough exam and explains well. She used an eye model and pictures of my eye to show me the comparison of normal eye and my eye issues. Also provided a paper for me to understand as well.

All of the staff are friendly and courteous. Dr. Ghafoori is always professional, but also thorough in her assessment and updates regarding my progress.

Was referred to Dr Day for a possible torn retina. She was very thorough with the exam and informative as to what she was doing and what her diagnosis was. Very impressed and would highly recommend both her and the facilities staff for the care provided.
