- CTCarissa TorresNov 5, 20255.0I have had many eye exams and optometrists over the years and Dr. Pooja Patel is hands down the best eye doctor I have ever had! She was incredibly thorough, professional, and kind. She takes an active interest in the overall health of her patients and is committed to providing the most comprehensive care.

- TMTom MuellerOct 5, 20255.0I have had many eye exams over the years, but this one with Dr.Pooja Patel was easily the most thorough, and has produced the best results. Dr. Patel really took the time to determine my precise level of correction, astigmatism etc in each eye, and to explain my options to me in a way that made perfect sense. The result was a significantly different prescription than I'd had in the past, thanks to which I now see clearer than I have in years. Deeply grateful to Dr. Patel for her thoroughness and professionalism.
