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.

Multiple Retinal Tears in Left Eye
Dr. Saini saved my vision in left eye yesterday. He saw me immediately after I was referred in an emergency. Yes, I would recommend this retina specialist. He knows what he’s doing. To put a finer point on it, those who complain about his brusque orders must understand, he has to work fast and efficiently in order to keep from damaging your eye any further than it already has been. I realize he has a difficult job and in order to OPTIMIZE the result and preserve the quality of life for the patient, cooperating with him is vital. He actually cares about doing the best he can for the patient. Apparently this is the least amount of risk for MAXIMUM BENEFIT. If he’s gets a little exasperated I can live with it. This may be a sign of perfectionism. GOOD ON HIM. I am grateful to him for helping me.

Professional & Pleasant
My husband went to Dr. Zaini for issues that resulted from cataract surgery. He was professional, clear, pleasant, and, best of all, he resolved the issue my husband had.

Good Doctor, Occasionally Brusque Manner
He did laser surgery on me when I had a torn retina. He started at about 5:30 on a Friday. He kept instructing me not to blink, but the eye getting the surgery was watering and felt uncomfortable. It seems to have been all for the best, as he says it has healed nicely; and I haven't had further problems. On subsequent visits, he has occasionally seemed short-tempered and brusque. Doctors often are in a hurry, but some visits, he seemed more in a hurry to get the visit over with than most.The staff has mostly been excellent, but seem oblivious to the threat to patent privacy posed by recent Windows operating systems; even when it is specifically pointed out.

Horrible!!
I do NOT recommend this doctor. He doesn't listen or he doesn't care, he's in and out within minutes, the staff that works for him is rude and if your having to deal with disability paperwork for work forget it. Just horrible! I've seen the other doctors at this place and would recommend them.

My wife has Alzheimer’s. He had no patience to deal with her mental illness and did not make a heartfelt attempt to finish her test. IMO he is young and arrogant. Alzheimer’s patients can determine when they are being neglected, even in their state of mind. She left feeling hurt and rejected. The whole experience was like we were cattle being pushed to the slaughter.

I've been seeing Dr. Saini every month for the last 6 months for my eye health issues. He has been very thorough with treatments, takes time to answer any questions, but doesn't keep me any longer than necessary. I feel very comfortable with the care I receive from his office. I schedule all my appointments to make sure he is the doctor I see. He is very professional. My diagnosis was a very scary one for me, but he has been able to put my mind at ease. His staff is just as fabulous.

Was having retina issues, Dr. Saini, was very thorough with my exams. Laser repairs were made and I'm confident in my vision again. The staff was very polite and filed my insurance for me. I have been back numerous times for check ups since and the service has been excellent with fairly short wait times compared to other physicians I have to see. I trust my vision to Dr. Saini and highly recommend him.
