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.

Excellent results from cataract surgery
My cataract surgery went extremely well. The surgery center and Dr. Tekwani took excellent care of me. I chose the best lenses and can now see 20-20! Been wearing glasses since 4th grade, and never thought that I would ever see this well again. Thank you Dr. Tekwani!

Over the last 6 months, I have had a number of eye issues. Each issue was professionally handled and we moved on to the next.I have just completed bilateral cataract surgery and it went smoothly.The surgery center was wonderful. Everything ran on time and each time I was there the staff was very efficient and friendly making me feel comfortable.The staff I come in contact with in Dr. Tekwani’s office were very competent and follow up went well. All questions were answered to my satisfaction.I would recommend Tekwani Vision Center and more specifically, Navin Tekwani to anyone.

One of the few I would trust with my vision
Dr. Tekwani performed my LASIK corrective surgery. The benefits of the surgery was life changing. I could not be happier with the results and work Dr. Tekwani has done. With something as precious as one’s vision, I can say I was only going to settle for nothing but one of the most respected professionals in the region. Thank you Dr. Tekwani!

Amazing
can't speak highly enough of lDr. Navin Tekwani. The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic. The staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr Tekwani was not only knowledgeable but, also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. The care I received was exceptional; Dr Tekwani listened attentively to my concerns and provided personalized treatment that yielded positive results. The entire team at the clinic displayed a high level of professionalism and me feel comfortable throughout my visit and surgery. I highly endorse Dr Tekwani and his team for their excellent service and expertise. “I left the clinic feeling confident in the care. If you're looking for a reputable clinic with a compassionate doctor, look no further than Tekwani Vision Center.

Cataract surgery
Dr. Tekwani is easy to speak with about lens options. He is kind and soft spoken. You never feel hurried. I opted for the Synergy multi- focal lens and my vision is great near and far. No more glasses for me. I would highly recommend Dr. Tekwani to all my friends and family.

Good at first, but…
Initially I was very pleased with the outcome of cataract surgery by Dr. Tekwani. Then I found out my vision isn’t as good as expected. Better vision will require corrective lenses. I paid a great deal of money to get the best lenses, and am only 20/25. Furthermore, I am experiencing bad halos. Which, if they don’t clear up in 3 months, will require another procedure. Thumb down.

I was diagnosed with cataracts. I went to Dr. Navin Tekwani. He did the surgery and did a great job. My follow up appointments were with his father H Tekwani and he was amazing. The gentleness, kindness, patience, just all-around wonderful kind man. I never feel rushed and he answered all my questions. I look forward to follow up appointments because love and kindness radiates there!

I love the services from the Doctor. His billing department needs a crash course on empathy and compassion. They leave a lot to be desired. If insurance doesn't pay quickly enough, they want you to pay and wait for your money back from insurance. Leaving a great Dr all because of the poor bi lling department.

If less than 1 star were available I would give that. The billing department is seemingly staffed by only one person, and her name is Mary. She is the most unhelpful person i've ever had had to deal with. She doesn't return calls. If you somehow to manage to reach her she is rude, argumentative and doesn't really care. Be careful and watch your bills and what is billed to the insurance and keep and eye out for possibly fraudulent charges. I happily paid $70 to never have to deal with her again.
