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 made an appointment a year ago, but it was rescheduled several times. They finally set it for June 30th, so I changed my flight to keep it. Today, they called to say the doctor is unavailable all summer and they can't reschedule yet. Very unreliable service.Not recommend them .

Dr. Bahadur has a great personal manner, was informative and helpful, and performed flawless bilateral cataract surgery. Now 20/20 distance vision in both eyes for the first time since I was eight years old.

I am outraged at the charges we received from Bahadur. All I did was go for a general, yearly exam. He charged $830 for the visit. A Medicare rip-off. He also gave me a prescription for a dry eyes medicine that was extremely expensive. It runs $500- my co- pay was $70. It turned out not be of any value. Was a brand new medicine, had some serious complications and I switched on my own to an over the counter eye drop that worked even better. I would avoid going to him.

Waited over a month to see what was supposedly best doctor at Jules Stein Eye Clinic. Made to wait over an hour. An assistant/tech did most of the testing and questions. When Bahadur finally came in, he kept leaving (over 4 times, lost count). Had to pry out of him if everything was ok. He practically blinded me after dilating my pupils & didn't feel it necessary to direct where i should be looking as he veered with the extremely bright light from one eye to other rapidly.Eyes sore after-AWFUL!
