Asim is always awesome. Beside the fact that he is the best surgeons around he truly cares about the patient and os always willing to take the time necessary to answer questions to make sure you are comfortable with the decisions you are making. Will be back soon for the other eye.

Because doctors gf not discontinue Eliquis I have bleeding inserting the hydrus one eye from insertion of Hydrus for glaucoma. They work magically well but I can’t see grom the blood in my eye. I think the policy on Eliquis should be changed which is reason for my rating

He was efficient and my surger went so well. All the missing staff was amazing as well. This made the experience a perfect one. I did the laser-pantatopic. It was such a positive change in just 24 hours
