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.

A very detail oriented, knowledgable, approachable, and a perfectionist! He didn't like a retinal image taken. He didn't think twice before getting on to the machine and doing it on his own several times, before he got it right. He didn't demean his assistant and his level of patience was worth noting.

Last year March 18 ,2019 my daughter had a hard time with a scar on her cornea by contact lens. She could lose her vision. Dr. Samir saved her vision. He is really an expert eye doctor. I appreciate him for ever of my life.

He did a fine job on my cataract removal and gave a complete explanation of the procedure beforehand. He has the best bedside manor with good followup. I highly recommend Dr. Vera

Dr. Vira was very courteous, he listened to all my concerns. The staff was very good in the midst of surgery and thereafter. If I could change anything, it would be the waiting time but it's worth it.

I had a very pleasant experience with my recent Cataract Surgeries. Dr. Vira was knowledgeable efficient and put me at ease with the procedure. After finally needing the surgery I was able to benefit from the new Symphony Multi-focal lense which has allowed me to see better than I ever have.

I usually am so scared of surgeries and forced into thinking that I am in need of major surgery. Dr. Vira calmed me down and his staff is fantastic. The staff and overall experience was such a relief and I trust Dr. Vira so much that I want to come back every year for other surgeries as needed.

So happy to have discovered the Milan Eye Center & Dr. Vira. Prior to my first visit I had a long journey of eye appointments for a condition that was progressively getting worse. Dr. Vira was exceptional in his care & concern. What a blessing to have been his patient and know that my concerns have been taken care of in a very personal & professional manner. Thank you, Dr. Vira

His hand is excellent. Initially I was so scared, but once I went through I had no discomfort neither during surgery or afterwards. This is the best experience I have ever had and I would recommend Dr Samir Vira to anyone else that has a cataract.
