Patient Reviews
Nov 19, 2024
My impression of Dr. Saad is that is he is very focused on his job and his patients eyecare. I had a detached retina and have spent many appointments with him. In the beginning he was not very communicative but as time went by he was friendly. I think it is unfair to say he is unfriendly. I just think he is very busy and very focused.

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.
