Patient Reviews
Dec 18, 2024
Dr. Ammar is a great eye doctor, eye surgeon, and human being. I was legally blind in one eye for approximately 2 years. I had a severely detached retina. My condition was within a few micro-inches of not being an eligible candidate for eye surgery correction. Now my eye is 20-30. It’s such an amazing gift from God to be able to see with clarity again. Thank you so much Dr. Ammar. You’re the best.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
