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.

Better Before
Dr. use to be good, accurate, and prompt. Now it's all the opposite. His good staff has left and now he's left with inadequate, unprofessional girls working there, with many not knowing their jobs. Always feel rushed and Dr. does not arrive to work on time, with all his patients waiting, which delays everyone's scheduled appointment. I know the Dr. is more than capable, but seems he no longer has fire for his job.

cataract surgery made easy
I made an appointment with Dr Lakhani for cataract surgery. The whole procedure from first visit to the actual surgery is done with the utmost simplicity and easy for the patient. The office procedure is done with great efficiency and order and the actual surgery was also a smooth process with the staff at the surgery being very nice and kind. Thank G-d the surgery went very well would highly recommend Dr. Lakhani.

He is informative and cares about his patients. He was so wonderful to my husband 20 years ago when he was battling cancer of the brain that was affecting his eye. He treats my Glaucoma and is always spot on.
