Patient Reviews
Sep 26, 2024
Dr. Samimi exceeded my expectation. He is a very skilled surgeon. My recovery was a breeze. I can honestly say it was pain free. I believe I healed quickly because Dr is so gentle with tissue. I was provided excellent customer service at every point of contact. Dr Samimi’s staff are professional, kind and compassionate. As busy as this office is… sometimes an answering service would pick up the call. The service communicated my messages clearly and I always received a return call. I appreciate the attention to detail and the effort they put in to ease my way. I am so pleased with my outcome. No more eyelashes poking inward. No more obstructed vision. Thank You!!
