Patient Reviews
Jan 25, 2025
I came to Dr. Tavokoli while a patient at GW Hospital in Washington, DC because of Droopy Eye Syndrome. Dr. Tavokoli was the one who noticed that I had droopy eyes during a regular follow up visit! He took the time and discussed with me everything I needed to do if I wanted to correct this, which I did and the conclusion was surgery. If Dr. Tavokoli had not paid attention to me as his patient, it’s no telling how long I would have been un-diagnosed as I was having severe problems with my sight. The surgery was done Jan 6th and my eye sight has improved 100% I felt like I was blind but now I can see. He did an excellent job, there are no scars, nor were there any issues that have come up as a result of the surgery! We just had a follow up Jan. 24th and my eyes are healing very well and they look so much better. I know longer have droopy eyes and I am grateful for Dr. Tavokoli. I would recommend Dr. Tavokoli to anyone, he and his staff are excellent! And know what they are doing
