Dr. Nejat is exceptional!
Excellent surgeon;, welcoming, professional, personable, top notch. Dr. Nejat explained everything re my cataracts; the surgery types, lens types etc. He answered each of my questions thoroughly.. I'm looking foward to getting my surgeries, as this last fall I had due to cataract issue was pretty serious. With Dr. Nejat as my surgeon, I am now in the best of hands and I will be seeing with clarity once more!. P.s. due to my cataracts, that took me 10. That's to write this little paragraph, so if you see any typos, please excuse me, l o l
Dr. Nejat is a talented and knowledgable doctor. I Have had a hard year, lot of issues with my eyes. Dr. Nejat has been understanding, patient and effective. I trust him and won’t let anyone else touch my eyes. I Highly recommend Dr. Nejats and his practice. Everyone who works there is friendly, compassionate and empathetic. You are met with a smile whenever you walk into the office or exam room and you leave with every question answered.
Dr Nejet throughly explained my issue and how to address it. Professional and personal.
Kept us waiting very long. After he examined my husband and when it was my turn he basically never engaged with me. He hardly looked at me and was more interested talking about Peleton teachers with my husband.
Dr Negst is one of the best eyedoctors i have been to
