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.

Not happy
Huge wait times for each visit and then Dr. Sawhney is in and out of the room in a flash. Does not have a clue how to interact with a patient.

Dr. Sawhney takes time at each visit to really look at what is going on with my eyes and considers what needs to happen next to prevent future eye issues. He remembers things about your prior visits that surprise you. Most doctors don't know me or anything about me except what is in my electronic chart.

Frightening experience for me. Sat in surgical room for over a half an hour after being told he would be right in. Postop instructions left a lot to be desired.

Dr. Sawhney and his staff are and were very professional. They helped us out in a time of urgent need. They explained everything to the smallest detail. Great professionalism and very well experienced over all we are very satisfied with the service we have received and so far the operation is looking great for glaucoma treatment.

My overall experience with my Dr Sawhney. was wonderful. However, when I inquired about my bill that was supposed to be forwarded to the Department of Veterans Affairs, Linda from Georgia Eye Partners mentioned that she's tired of the VA sending Veterans to their practice. This, by far, is one of the most unpatriotic things that I've ever encountered. However, my I would recommend Dr. Sawhney to anyone who may be considering having cataract surgery. Dr. Sawhney explained and answered my questions with respect.

Dr. Sawhney is a consummate professional. He has been treating my glaucoma condition since I moved here 2 years ago.The fact he was diligent in researching my prior records to make sure we have the correct treatment plan given some unique issues I have was very reassuring to me. He referred me and has partnered with my cornea specialist to make sure both treatments go hand in hand. He is a very thorough, caring doctor. He listens, is patient and explains things clearly. I highly recommend Dr. Sawhney.

Focused on procedures, not the patient. Wants to perform surgery (procedure) without proper education to the patient and pushes it constantly. After procedure, no after care instructions given and no follow up appointment. Appointments for other procedures made without patient notification. Only interested in performing procedures...but not necessarily in the patient care. Not recommended
