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.

Standout Doctor
He is one of the best in his field. I've been a UCLA eye patient since the 80s and he takes the time to listens to my issues and explains things clearly. When I needed surgery we discussed it, what I should expect before, during and after. Follow up has been the same. If he's busy it's because he's good. I have recommended him to friends which I only do when I have complete faith in my doctor.

I had my LASIK procedure with Dr. Al-Hashimi and I couldn’t recommend him more. He took the time to answer all my questions and make sure I was comfortable with the whole process. He was professional and knowledgeable. I now see better than I did with my glasses! Wish I saw him sooner.

Dr. Saba is a very compassionate specialist who took the time to thoroughly explain my condition to me. He made sure I understood the benefits and risks associated with my procedure and answered all of my questions with great professionalism. In my old age, I've easily come across 10+ ophthalmologists and he truly stands out among the best.

Superb cornea specialist. Saw 3 other eye doctors before being referred to Dr.Al-Hashimi at UCLA. Was able to explain exactly what the issue was and how to fix it. Now seeing better than I have in years! Super grateful to have such a compassionate and caring doctor who knows what he is doing.

Dr. Saba Al-Hashimi works in Ophthalmology, and is a Cornea Eye Specialist. I would like to inform of his excellent professional abilities. Dr. Al-Hashimi speaks English excellently, and is proficient in his abilities as a Cornea surgeon. He explains the procedure that he will be completing, and also explains the procedure as he is working on the patient, if the patient is awake, so that nothing is a surprise. His professional manner is very appealing and assists patients to relax. He apprec
