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.

Having wet macular degeneration and needing injections is not a pleasant experience. Dr. Rezael makes it as comfortable as possible. I'm not left in the officebuilbing up anxiety, he comes in prepared and the injections is over in a minimum amount of time.

Ten weeks later I could see better than I ever thought I would again! He’s the Best Doctor and I would Highly Recommend him to anyone who is asking

Happy Camper
I was referred to Dr Rezaei nearly a year ago when I developed floaters in my left eye along with bright white vertical streaks in darker areas. First off he explained why I was seeing the line designs and has kept a check on it every few months since..moving the appointments further apart as time goes on. He is kind, on time, complete, has a great staff and really seems to care about your health. So glad we make the hr trip to see him. Quite an impressive background also. Thanks a million !!

Gave me a wonderful referral while I was out of to
Always grateful for the top notch care I receive from Dr Rezaei and his staff. I was In Florida January, February and March of this year when my I problem got worse. I called Dr Rezaei's office and he referred me to a specialist in the area. And I was able to begin a monthly preventative treatment for my AMD until I got home, that I am sure protected my vision from getting worse in the meantime. Giant kudos to Dr Rezaei!!!!!
