        Gave me confidence because of his caring and experience.well qualified!

        I was told more than a few times I would benefit from cataract surgery by Doctor Kumar and followed up by Doctor Mugavin an associate of Doctor Kumar. Being a little apprehensive is an understatement but Doctor Rishi Kumar assured me he had done many of these and saw no problems with my case. The entire staff made for a smooth and successful outcome.

        It was an eye opening experience, literally

        I went in for a baseline checkup after learning I could genetically be at risk for macular degeneration. I learned I had other issues I was unaware of instead. Two cataracts later and treatments for other problems I can now see without glasses and my eyes feel much better. Dr Kumar guided me through the process explaining each process quickly and throughly. This has been nearly painless but most important I can see and expect to retain my healthy eyes thanks to Dr Kumar and his professional staff. Sight slips away so gradually you can be in trouble with out knowing it. I urge everyone to make an appointment today.
