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.

Miss seeing Dr.B, but it is a nice experience to see his children following his example.
Charita is always ready at front desk to help.

Dr Lisa is a caring and knowledgeable doctor. I have been seeing her for my vision problems for a few years and there is no one I would trust more with my sight problems. She and her staff are the best.

I recently had cataract surgeries, performed expertly by Dr. Lisa Athwal. Her pre and post surgery exams were thorough and reassuring. In fact, the entire Athwal Eye Associates staff were remarkable, from initial visit to my final post-surgery exam today. Dr. Lisa is quite personable along with being professional. I would recommend her services to anyone, whether it is a routine eye exam or cataract surgery.

I had a wonderful experience with both Dr. Athwal and her staff. Having had an absolutely horrible incident with another physician I was not sure where to go for help. Dr. Lisa was recommended to me . I must say the care given to me was exceptional and the laser surgery restored my eyesight as well as my faith in the profession. Thank you Dr. Lisa

It is a task to find a doctor you can trust, so my journey brought me to Athwal eye on Mule road in Toms River. There i met DR. Lisa Athwal and her great staff, i was examined and explained about the different methods to improve my vision. ( Two weeks later my glasses were home and i was on the beach reading the newspaper. Thank You LISA
