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.
