I had the best experience working with Dr. Vakharia and his team. I am one day post op and my vision is exactly the same as if I was wearing my contacts or glasses. The procedure was seamless and the team went above and beyond to make sure I was prepared and comfortable. I would 10/10 recommend anyone to have their Lasix done at New Vision.

Had an acute need and hats off to New Vision and Dr Vakharia. They got us in within a couple hours and took care of the issue. Dr Vakharia was awesome! Their optometrists and eyewear clinic are great as well.

My wife went here for an exam for cataract surgery. This place is amazing! Very nice building and atmosphere. Every employee that we dealt with (reception, eye exam, doctor, scheduler) were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable of their positions. This place is the best of the best!

Experience was as expected. Doctors and staff are kind and professional. LASIK procedure is a little strange. The operation itself was well explained, just not the experience you’re undergoing. If you’re at all anxious, I’d suggest a higher dose of sedative. There’s not much pain but not much control over yourself either. I’m 20/20 now and I’d recommend it. Just do some mental prep for when you’re laying on the table. Also, I got a 5$ gift card for writing a non biased review.

Wonderful experience overall! From consultation to follow up after procedure. Love having my vision back!

Vision is feeling crazy good for only 1 day post op. Seeing better then 20/20 in my left eye, still healing a bit though so my right eye isn’t quite as crisp but I have faith it will get better in the days to come. The staff was very kind and left me feeling confident with no questions.
