Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Fantastic Opthomologist/eyelid surgeon
Dr. Eftekhari was extremely attentive and totally respectful for every appointment. He fully explained my eyelid situation, the cause of it, and the procedure that should be used to correct it. He gained my full confidence from the very first visit.What really impressed me was when he personally called me the night before my surgery to simply see how I was doing and offer a few recommendations. WOW!I came back to him one year later for a check-up and asked him about what looked like another small form of my condition. He said it was and offered me a repeat surgery to remove it for JUST $400. What other Dr. would ever offer such a follow up possibility?I would unquestionably recommend him for anyone to at least visit with him concerning any potential need for some possible type of eye surgery.I'd give him an A+++ grade.

I have had a close relationship with Dr Eftekhari for the past year, after being diagnosed with a rare facial cancer. 7 surgeries later, and through chemo and radiation, Dr Eftekhari has been there for me, compassionate, problem solving and honest about my outcome. He is genuinely a good human being, and I've felt every step of the way, that he has had my very best interests at heart, and truely has sort out other specialists to trouble shoot the best way forward for my cancer. I adore him. I am so full of gratitude for this man. He literally saved my life.

Dr. Eftekhari did an eyebrow lift on my husband and did an amzing job. Dr. Eftekhari is a brilliant surgeon and genuinely nice. He took all the time we needed to answer all our questions. The first thing my husband said after surgery was "Are the lights always this bright?" His field of vision has increased...and he even looks younger. Do not have this procedure done anywher until you have a consultation with Dr. Eftekhari. He is truly the best!!

I recently saw Dr Eftekhari for an eye exam after experiencing dryness and irritation. He was very prompt and thorough in his exam. I felt that he really cared about the issue that I was having and provided some good suggestions. I would highly recommend Dr Eftekhari.

Ten months ago I was introduced to Dr. Eftekhari. It was a dark time in my life. From the moment I met him I felt confident things would be O.K. he took the time to explain and outline all that would lie ahead both to me and my family, leaving time for as many question as I had . He also scheduled my surgery much sooner than expected. Surgery was successful and my post-op uneventful. Dr. Eftekhari is a wonderful doctor, brilliant surgeon and a caring and compassionate man. If I would ever need this type of surgery again , which I pray I will not, SLC here I come. Thank you Dr. Eftekhari for all you did for me and all I know you will continue to do for others.

Dr. Eftekhari is exceptional in involving his patients in the decisions to be made in the treatment plan. He is a very caring doctor and is understanding of the patient's apprehension. He showed patience through the many questions that I had and thoughtfully answered them in a way that made me feel a part of the team. I felt confident that I was in the right place for treatment. Outstanding doctor and staff in surgery scheduling and finance.
