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.

LASIK
Ok, I wanted to give you a review of my whole LASIK experience with Dr. Walia. First- I sent a message on their website and someone gave me a call within the same day (I did this at another Doctor's office and it took 2 weeks to hear back). When I went in, Dr. Walia sat with for about 20 minutes and we talked about LASIK and other eye options. We picked LASIK. The day of surgery was great, he talked to me the whole time to put me at ease. That same night Julia called me to check in. And everyone was amazing. A+, good turn around time, honest doctor, 20/15 (better than 20/20 results) and everyone seems like they care like their job.

Great
I have never left a google review but I really felt like Dr. Walla and the eye team deserve it. My wait wasn't too long, about 40 minutes, but they were very thorough. But even if the wait was long...it would be worth it. Dr. Walla was kind, not in a rush, and explained every well. He explained glaucoma and cataract well. I just lost my husband and I don't know why I got emotional in the chair but he just stayed and talked to me. I had never had him before but Dr. Walla made me feel like a human being and not just some patient or number. Really rare and honestly the BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER HAD. Thank

Dr. Walia treated my dad today for the first time. Dad said the doctor and his staff are excellent communicators, very thoughtful about the challenges that elderly patients can sometimes present, and had a very caring manner. He highly recommends Dr. Walia.

I really liked Dr. Stainer, so when Dr. Walia took over I was nervous. But he did both of my eyes and 20/20 both. Really seems like he cares and he loves his job.
