Ashley Crane, MD

Very courteous and efficient. Excellent surgeon, who is also kind and compassionate. My retina reattahment surgery was successful and I am currently recovering. Dr. Crane has answered all my questions and explained the process during follow ups. She privided an additional appointment when I was experiencing symptoms that turned out to be unrelated to my eye surgery. Dr. Crane and her staff are awesome. I would definitely recommend them to family members and friends. I wish I could give 10 stars!

Steven Cohen, MD

Dr. Cohen has changed my life. I no longer dread getting the eye injection for my Wet Macular Degeneration. His method with the sponge is.so much less traumatic. I’ve had no pain, no stinging, no side effects at all. He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize!!!

Scott Pautler, MD

What a professional practice. The front desk was expecting us and greeted us by name, the care team was gracious and highly professional, kept us informed. Dr. Pautler is eminently trained and had insights and answers directionally that might help us in the long run with some options for a very difficult, blinding disorder. No false hopes, just solid medicine. He listened. He cared. We were there for something completely different and he pierced the beurocracy veil and treated me as his personal patient, not a 3rd party examiner. I’ve decided to go to him from now on. Wow the entire group seems great.

Priya S. Vakharia, MD

Dr. Vakharia is a consummate professional. She is not only an incredible surgeon, but she takes the time to answer your questions and address your concerns in the most validating way. I would give her a thousand stars if I could. I trust her completely with my eyesight. Also, the entire staff is incredible. Everyone is so friendly, respectful and positive. From the moment you walk into the office, you feel as if you are the only patient. I feel heard when I am there. You are treated as a whole person, and not an eye condition.
