Very professional staff very sweet and knowledgeable loved my eye exam ❤️
After my ophthalmologist retired, I was diagnosed, by another doctor in the practice, with dry eye, eye pressure that could lead to glaucoma and expensive dry eye prescription medicine along, with a recommendation for cataract surgery. I was truly overwhelmed with the lengthy diagnoses. After seeking out another opinion and some thorough testing from Dr. Michael Nejat, I found out that I didn’t need cataract surgery nor the expensive prescription drops that I was taking and I will follow up with Dr. Nejat again in 3 months. I found this office thorough and Dr. Nejat’s demeanor was kind, confident and I didn’t feel like he was looking to do unnecessary procedures. He made me feel calm and I felt like I could trust him to take proper care of my eyes. I was impressed and will definitely go back to Dr. Nejat.
