I was very comforted from the moment Dr. Ammar walked in. He was friendly, and extremely knowledgeable, and took time to explain everything to me in a way in which I could understand. He even went above and beyond to look at a couple of different concerns that I was having, and assured me that he could help me with them after we took care of the main reason that was seen.
I had my first visit with Dr Ammar. The office and equipment appeared new and clean. The staff was professional and courteous. The wait was a bit longer than I would like but it wasn't so bad and the staff did apologize. Dr Ammar was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going. Best of all he took his time to explain everything and answered all my questions. It felt like an actual visit with a concerned doctor instead of being rushed through a fast food burger joint.
Because of my history with retinal detachments, I see a specialist every year for a recheck. When I moved from the East Coast to the West Coast, I had difficulty finding a good new specialist—I research where they went to med school, internship, residency, the whole bit. Dr. Ammar is as terrific as his training—he takes his time, answers all questions, and offers options/suggestions. Just superb! Staff is pleasant and efficient too.
Very caring and thorough
The Amazing Dr Ammar was clear in his explanations, professional but caring. His staff is efficient and professional but also kind.
Dr. Ammar is very professional and thoughtful, I have full trust in his abilities and work. He performed exceptionally during the surgery and every follow-up visit I have had. He is the best!
Dr. Ammar was excellent in presenting what my particular issue was and making me feel comfortable that he was the exact right person to help me. When it came time for the actual procedure it was painless just as he had promised. At this point in our relationship I offer the highest rating possible.
A doctor who takes frightening news about your eyes and makes the treatment so easy to bear. Shots into your eye I remembers as a kid saying about having to do something I thought was scary “I would rather have a needle poked in my eye “. As an adult, rather anything else. I was so scared when I saw Dr Ammar over a year ago for my MD and first shot in eye. I was shaking. He was magical. He put drops in my eye and moved around and said ok. Done. I said when are you doing the shot. He said it’s done! Cannot recommend him enoug... read more
