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.

Super rude, arrogant
I do not doubt that he is an excellent surgeon, but he has to note that he is dealing with people who are almost always very old, he has an arrogant and super rude treatment, he has a team of excellent doctors, he is not always the one who does the surgery and the follow-up, be careful with that. Never again!!!! Always ask before writing a review the name of the person who treated you, don't give him the credit he doesn't deserve!!!!

My experience was with Dr. Isi Esquenazi at Airala Eye Institute. It was exceptional, I was a little scare of the unknown about eye surgery but he put me at ease and explained everything. My cataract surgery was a success it went very well. I can see clearly and I had no pain or problems he was fantastic. Looking forward to getting the other eye done. Great eye doctor and staff.

Apart from the long wait and no apologising for it the doctor was super brash and didn’t spend anytime discussing my issue and was quite condescending while talking to me. There was no explanation of why I was having certain symptoms and also didn’t explain to me that the eye drops they put in my eye for the consultation (which is ok) would blurr my vision for 3h and I had to drive home!

1st appointment wait exceeded 2 hours (I was lucky compared with the hordes of -30 or more senior and low income people waiting for their appointments). Today, 2nd appointment at 1pm I left after 45mins wait, that is 1:45pm. At that time a lady who had her appointment at 10:30am was just called, and two other ladies had appointments 1-2hrs earlier than I had. This is completely unethical and unprofessional and evidences a lack of respect to patients. Additionally, my prescription was wrong !!!
