Dr. Daly performed cataract surgery a few years ago then most recently laser surgery on both eyes. Dr. Daly and his staff were wonderful.

Response from the ownerHi, Angela. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!Dr. Shah and all of the staff who helped me through the LASIK process were incredibly professional and caring—some of the nicest people you will meet. Their service and level of care went above and beyond from start to finish. I highly recommend them! And best of all, I can see now! 🤓😎
Response from the ownerHi, Shayne. We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!- Response from the ownerHi, Hermionesgirl79. Thank you so much for rating your experience with us so highly!

A place to have a solution to your eyes problems.
Response from the ownerHi, Solange. Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!It is said that we are all here to do God's work. Dr. Kahn's hands are certainly guided by God, because he does miraculous work. I could hardly see, and he did cataract surgery for me, and inserted a new lens. Now, I can see very well without glasses, and can drive at night. I believe that each of us was put on earth to do god’s work, and I know that Dr. Kahn does God’s work. May he have a long and blessed career.
Response from the ownerHi, Howard. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!Very disappointed. Cataract surgery bungled requiring a second operation on that eye. No apology given Then the office ignored three requests to fax my optical prescription to my optician causing a lengthy delay in getting my new glasses. Did I say I was disappointed ?
From the initial screening, all the way through the surgery, Eyecare Medical Group was phenomenal. The staff was pleasant and extremely informative. Dr. Shah explained the procedure and expected outcomes in a way I was able to understand. I traveled from five hours away, and they were wonderful about accommodating to my scheduling requests. I highly recommend Eyecare Medical Group.
