Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I see in his reviews many have benefited.

Dr Goyal is very attentive, thorough, and provides exception care. I am 88 years old and still have unusual athletic ability. This past year, however, I was sidelined with retinal disorders (both eyes), macula endema, elevated eye pressure, misalignment of eyelashes, blepharitis,and cataracts (requiring surgery). After extensive and persevering care from Dr. Goyal, I now again have excellent vision which enables me to return to playing pickleball (with much younger players) almost every day.

I HAVE A CONTION CALLED FUCH'S DYSTROPHY WHICH AFFECTS THE CORNEA OF THE EYE. ANY SURGERY TO THE EYE WITH FUCH'S MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS. I HAD BEEN SEEING DR RUBENFELD FOR MY EYES AND UPON DEVELOPING CATARACTS SHE FOLLOWED THE CONDITION UNTIL IT BECAME NECESSARY TO SEE DR GOYAL. I HAD TO HAVE CORNEA TRANSPLANTS AS WELL AS THE CATARACTS TAKEN OUT. TO SAY I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT THE SURGERY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. DR GOYAL EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO ME AND WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS WERE. ALL WENT VERY WELL IN THAT I HEALED IN RECORD TIME, SO MUCH SO THAT I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE SECOND EYE DONE MUCH SOONER THAN EXPECTED. BOTH EYES HAVE HEALED WELL AND THUS FAR NO ADDITIONAL SURGERIES HAVE BEEN NEEDED. THE CORNEA TRANSPLANTS ARE SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE MONITORED FOR A LIFETIME AND I AM SEEING BETTER THAN I HAVE IN YEARS. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR GOYAL FOR ANY EYE CONDITION AND/OR SURGERY.

In the examinations, I’ve had with Dr. Goyal, he has been thorough, but respectful of my time. He recently performed my cataract removal and explained the procedure in easy to understand terms and fully answered my questions and addressed my concerns. These are the qualities I look for in a physician.

Dr. Goyal is an absolute professional in every way. He has been my eye care professional for over 15 years and has walked me through my changing vision issues. He explains everything and goes out of his way to make me feel comfortable. I just completed cataract surgery and his work was excellent. I highly recommend him and the Edina Surgery Center where they surgery was performed. His teams in the office and at the surgery center are excellent. If I could give six stars, I would.

Dr. Goyal has proven to be a reliable and consistent physician of excellence. Under his care I have undergone cataract surgery and a variety of tests that additionally led to outside specialists which proved to be excellent referrals as well. He has been thorough in his explanations of my status, treatment protocols and prognosis.

Dr Goyal did cataract surgery on my left and right eye in June and July of 2018 with follow up visits afterwards. He explained the after care eye drops and when to discontinue. The medical team was amazing. My vision is great and I appreciated his professionalism. Merrilee Hagberg

An excellent ophthalmologist and surgeon. He has been my eye doctor for 10 years or so. About 5 years ago he performed cataract surgery on both my eyes over a period of a few months) and I've enjoyed excellent vision again.

Dr. Goyal is a very kind and competent surgeon. He listened carefully to my concerns, but I had trouble communicating with him about my multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) and the trouble I was having with the medications. I suspect that this is because he is unfamiliar with MCS and that in the future he will be better prepared should he have a patient with these issues.

I have some serious eye problems, including idiopathic optic neuritis, several bouts of central serous retinopathy and one episode of a torn retina. Dr. Goyal has been my primary eye doctor for 15 years, and is a caring, deliberate doctor that cares very much about me as a person, takes all the time necessary to address my concerns, consults with specialists as needed, and takes a proactive approach to my care. I feel my eye health is in good hands with him.
