I have been a patient of Dr Niraj Patel for a few years. I've been going for my regular, yearly…read morediabetic check ups. He's always been very accommodating, polite and professional. He had said I would need cataract surgery but he didn't push it and left it to me for when I was ready and couldn't function. Finally, it was time. He willingly postponed it when we were apprehensive in March when the COVID-19 virus had so much uncertainty. Now he scheduled me and my right eye was a breeze. The operating room staff was friendly and put me at ease. Post operative was simple and I was out of the office in an hour. When I was concerned about a post operative question, he replied promptly. I would highly recommend him. All of the staff are well trained and polite and professional. Next week I am scheduled for my left eye cataract surgery!

Upon arrival, I was informed that they did not accept my insurance. They claimed to have called me regarding this but did not leave a voicemail to discuss the issue. The front office staff initially suggested a self-pay option, but when I inquired further, I was told that self-pay was not available either. This experience highlights the breakdown in the healthcare system and a lack of accountability on their part in two instances. 0 accountab=0 stars

Dr Geissler is amazing: I came in for dry eye which was making reading impossible. I tried fancy…read moreeye drops to no avail. He did some tests, listened to me as I asked about an expensive procedure to try, and then suggested something simple: Johnson's Baby Shampoo. I didn't really heed his advice until I finally bought a bottle and rinsed my eyes with it in the shower. After about three showers like this, my eyes are completely better. As in, no more drops needed and I can read at night!! Amazingly simple advice sand it helped! Thank you Dr Geissler!!

Dec. 9, 2020 - I called prior to my appointment to ask about their protocols during the height of…read morethe pandemic and was told, "We are following the CDC guidelines." I was concerned when I arrived and saw two techs wearing face shields, but no masks. The technician who performed my intake was wearing such a shield without masks. When I asked her about it, she said she was getting over pneumonia and was having trouble breathing with a mask on. I became doubly concerned at this point, since I am in a very high risk category. QUOTE FROM CDC WEBSITE: "CDC does not recommend using face shields or goggles as a substitute for masks. Face shields and goggles are primarily used to protect the eyes of the person wearing it. Face shields have large gaps below and alongside the face, where your respiratory droplets may escape and reach others around you." Dr. Geissler entered the room (50 minutes late - even though I was supposed to be the first appt. of the morning) and was wearing a mask. He was speaking to me throughout the exam while in very close proximity. At one point, I noticed that his mask was not covering his nose and I brought it to his attention. He said that he does that purposely because his glasses fog up when he wears the mask over his nose! This is not in compliance with CDC guidelines. THE CDC GUIDELINES STATE: * Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 * Wear a mask in public settings when around people who don't live in your household, especially when it may be difficult for you to stay six feet apart. * Wear a mask correctly for maximum protection. I suggested that he try using a thin piece of hypoallergenic surgical tape across the top of the mask under the eyes & over the bridge of the nose. This is what I did for my appointment, so that I could be examined without fogging my glasses or their equipment. He responded that he's sensitive to tape and can't use it. My husband told me on the way home, "I'll put that on your tombstone: At Least His Glasses Didn't Fog Up."

My husband saw Dr. Nelson emergently. He has been having horrible symptoms with fevers, headaches,…read morejoint pains, then a sudden onset of floaters. We went to two different ERs, and they just gave him migraine cocktails and hoped for the best. Dr. Nelson did an extensive retinal exam due to the floaters, and other symptoms. He was the only one that gave us possibilities of what it could be. He referred us to rheumatology and to get bloodwork done. He was the only one to ever give us any sort of answer! My husband has since improved after treatment, and is continuing on with his rheumatologist. Thank you Dr. Nelson!

This is not the first time, I felt bias coming from the front desk Kaylie, but today Kaylie said…read morethe copay for my husband's visit was $45.00. I asked if we could bill this time because unfortunately we do not have it today. At first she said we could not see the doctor. I said we made special arrangements to get here and drove a long way. She then said very rudely to "just make sure we pay it!" with a head shake and as if talking down to someone. I said "Why wouldn't we pay it?" The comment hit hard because we are black and have experienced this type of treatment before. we are respected, black, senior people of the community who paid their bills . This type of treatment should not be tolerated. If my 87 year old husband dud not need his treatment i we would not come back. But trust me i am looking for another doctors office after today. The doctor is great and i have no complaints on other staff.

I was told I'm too young to need reading glasses but too old to be diagnosed with a different vision disorder because it's "usually" diagnosed in childhood. He was acknowledging that there is something wrong but then said I'm fine. My primary doctor believes I have a vision problem (the whole point of the referral) but because i didn't have access for proper exams as a kid, I was dismissed. I told him I avoid driving because my eyes can't focus, that I wear prescription reading glasses, prescription sunglasses I wear in stores, and prescription polarized sunglasses, because I'm extremely light sensitive. After I explained my symptoms in more detail, he agreed to write me a referral to a pediatrician. When the staff called to schedule my appointment they confirmed they were testing for what the referral said and my intake form had it written clearly on the top of the first page. During the appointment he suggested I try eye drops and offered to give me a different eye prescriptions, despite me telling him I'm already being treated for dry eyes and just got a new eye prescription three months ago.
