Patient Reviews
Mar 25, 2025
I met Dr. Ahmed after some very traumatic retina issues that ultimately resulted in needing cataract surgery. Dr. Ahmed was not only informative and very professional, but the time he took to go over my options and assure me the plan we were taking would not only improve my vision greatly, but maybe even better then before my issues. His staff was beyond professional, they almost became like family.
