Friendly very professional staff. Not a bad wait time. Staff encouraged questions regarding my health.
I found the administrative staff and the technicians to be courteous and efficient. Dr. Siddiqui is the best. He explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions.
Dr. Siddiqui is very thorough and patient. I had 3 appointments with various tests before deciding on which eye surgery was best. I’m sure I asked many of the same questions over and over again and Dr. Siddiqui answered them each time without hesitation. I give him a 15 out 10 & have already recommended him to several of my friends. The care I received exceeded my expectations including the staff at the office and those at the surgery center.
The staff at the front desk gave me warm professional greetings with big smiles.Lorraine was patient and helpful as I struggled creating the log in and new account.Carlos moved me through the testing efficiently and answered my questions.Dr Siddiqui was thorough and pleasant.At the front desk Calaya made my next appointment and she and Lorraine were again very cheerful as they completed the exiting process.A great experience from start to finish.
I love Solomon’s Eye!Lorraine is an absolute GEM! 💎. I was running late for my appointment today after just flying into town. She was able to work with me to make sure I was seen by Dr.Siddiqui. I really appreciate them both for working diligently to make my appointment happen. Kudos on a job well done!Nita Blue
