Parking is a nightmare — lot is tiny, better suited for compact cars. Front desk staff can be unfriendly and some have an attitude. However, the rest of the staff and doctors are excellent.

Reviews
After years of visiting other ophthalmologists and feeling miserable due to my severe dry eye and keratitis, I was referred to the institute. It was my greatest blessing to be treated by Dr. Desai, whose expertise and care exceeded all my expectations. He performed ocular reconstruction surgery with amniotic membrane. Throughout my recovery, he is assertive and highly effective. May God continue to grant him wisdom and knowledge to care for his patients in the wonderful way he does. He and his staff are the best experience I've ever had. Thank you so much.
let me start off by saying that Leisa was so wonderful,Caring, compassionate and needs more than just a pat on the back. The amount of care she showed me was more than 5stars !!!!! I had so many fears and worries and She eased my mind. She told me to breathe In relax and smell the roses and breathe out and blow out the candles .and that I’m in good hands. She put all my worries aside and showed so much compassion . I thank God for her . She has the professionalism of a Doctor who’s been doing this kind of work all her life . LEISA KEEP BEING YOU .
