I have no negative things to say about my experience here. The staff were professional and efficient and wait times very low for appointments. Dr Chahal performed my eyelid surgery-he was very kind and answered all my questions. Surgery and follow-up visit went smoothly, and I am healing on schedule. A nurse called me later in the day of surgery to see how I was. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my procedure!

5 years ago I had cataract surgery. Told them I couldn’t see out of the left side of the eye. They told me I needed to see a Phyc. Still can’t see!!!!! They didn’t deserve 1 star but I couldn’t get in without.
