Thanks it was a pleasant visit!
Dr.Cheema and his team are amazing and kind people. I have never had an experience with a doctor's office like this one. Never had a doctor so reassuring and kind and support staff so sweet and kind, every one of them is amazing. Made my corrective eye surgery smooth and reassuring. 10/10, cannot recommend enough
Most friendly, polite, make you feel like your not a bother
Dr. Cheema & staff are the best!
My previous eye doctor in the city was extremely thorough and always took the time to examine me carefully and explain his findings. By contrast, Dr. Cheema’s appointments feel rushed, with very little feedback or explanation. I often leave wondering whether he was truly paying attention during the examination. It’s an unsettling feeling, and it leaves me lacking confidence in the care I’m receiving.
Dr. Cheema and his staff are very professional and friendly. Office is clean. You are seen within a reasonable time arriving (5-10). Soon after taking your seat in "the big" chair, the tech starts the different exam tests. Appt. lasts about 10-15 without dilation and about 20-25 with. He came very highly recommended to me by a number of people whose opinions I trust.
All the good things you are reading about Dr. Cheema and his staff are true! My husband and I have been very happy with the care we get at this wonderful office.
Very happy with getting the appt, arriving at the office, short waiting time, polite caring staff.
