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.
I've been a patient there for several years. I've always received good care.
