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.

Takes so long to be called
Our appointment is at 1:30pm and they called us after 1hr wait just for an ultrasound. While the others appointment was 2:10 they came 1:40 and they got called after 20min.

I had the pleasure of having cataract surgery with Dr. Abbassi and it was great experience from beginning to end. My primary care Doctor cleared me for surgery but due to my current health I could not have any anesthesia because my breathing could possibly stop. Dr. Abbassi played music during the procedure to relax me and successfully did my surgery. I see now great! Couldn’t be more thankful for Dr. Abbassi’s care and services.

Dr. Abbassi is very caring, professional, and skilled surgeon. I had a very large cataract and it was affecting my life. No other surgeon would do surgery on me because I cannot have any anesthesia. Dr. Abbassi was the only surgeon I found that put the time and care aside to help me. He removed my cataract and now I see great and he did it all without any anesthesia. He is the greatest surgeon in my eyes and very thankful to him and his staff.

Dr. Abassi restored my vision. Now I can see without glasses for both far and near. There are so many things I never did because of glasses but now I can. I owe so much to Dr. Abassi and his office.

My grandfather needed cataract surgery. After researching everyone in the area I found Dr. Abbassi. My pcp, friends and family all had good things to say about Dr.. Abbassi and I agree. My granddaughter went from legally blind to excellent vision and I have not seen him so happy in a long time. I highly recommend Dr. Abbassi if your sight means the world to you.

I have a rare eye condition that many other eye doctors could not diagnose. I almost gave up and just let it continue to torcher my life. My PCP referred me to DR. Abbassi and I was expecting another I dont know. However, he took time to listen to my symptoms, which no other doctor took the time to do, he thoroughly examined my eyes and found out what was wrong. He referred me to a specialist which is treating me now but if it wasn't for Dr. Abbassi I still would be suffering.

Dr. Abbassi is one of the best doctors I have ever had. My optometrist referred me to Dr. Abbassi for cataract surgery and it is the best thing she has done. Dr. Abbassi listened to my complaints, identified what is important for me, and gave me the different options to meet my goals. After I had my surgery with Dr. Abbassi I was discharged back to my optometrist who praised the exceptional work Dr. Abbassi had done. Thank you Dr. Abbassi for all you have done for me.

Dr. Abbassi performed my cataract surgery. I choose the laser surgery with the lens that lets me see far and near and I am very happy with the results. My vision is 20/20 in both eyes and now I can read without glasses. I am so happy with the results that I am telling all my family to see Dr. Abbassi. Its been a great experience and appreciate my PCP who introduced me to Dr. Abbassi.

Dr. Abbassi is the most caring doctor I have meet. I was so worried about cataract surgery but he was so transparent of what to expect before and after surgery and he really put my needs first. Before surgery my vision was 20/400 and so many other doctors told me I had really complex cataract, the first day after surgery with Dr. Abbassi my vision is 20/25. I am so thankful for Dr. Abbassi care and expertise. My vision mean the world to me and I recommend Dr. Abbassi if that is the same for you.

My dad had cataract surgery with Dr. Abbassi today and I highly recommend him to anyone needing surgery. When i first found out that my father needed cataract surgery I was very nervous. I started to ask around for the best cataract surgeon and everyone recommended Dr. Abbassi. When i meet him I understood why. He is very caring, compassionate, a patient advocate, and very talented at what he does. My father is so happy with his new vision. I highly recommend Dr. Abbassi for your eye care needs
