I've been going here for many years and the staff has always been great, I want to give special recognition to Dr. Ejaz Husain though, he has performed cataracts surgery & goniotomy twice now for me, I have the upmost confidence in him and rest easy knowing he is a master at his craft and a perfectionist. The nurses do a wonderful job at making you feel comfortable and the whole process is a breeze. Thanks to everyone for helping me see again
I had cataract surgery on both eyes in the same week. Dr. Husain, the office staff and surgical staff were kind, caring and professional throughout the week. The outcome is absolutely amazing! I'm so impressed and I'm still in the healing phase. I can't wait to see the continuing improvement in my eye sight.
I have been a patient at Associated Ophthalmologists for over 40 years, and I recently completed cataract surgery on both eyes with Dr. Husain. I have worn glasses/contacts since 6th grade, and now, for the first time in decades, I am completely glasses- and contact-free. It is truly life-changing! Dr. Husain has been at my eye doctor's office for as long as I can remember, and there was never a question in my mind about who I would trust with my eyes. I was very nervous before my first surgery, but the procedure was very quick, easy, and completely put ...
If I could give them a thousand stars, I would!!! Dr. Husain and his staff are very caring and knowledgeable professionals, very reassuring and always had my comfort and concerns in mind. My surgery went very smoothly and I was able to see so well right away. After requiring glasses for 60 years, to now be able to see without them is like a miracle. I can’t stress enough how thankful I am to Dr. Husain and his staff!!!
Dr. Husain and his staff are great!!!!! So nice thru the entire process and after. I’m 54 and wore glasses/contacts since 4thgr,, left eye -5 and right a -9 w/ astigmatism. Today at my 1 month appointment my vision is 20/20 and I could read the smallest print. I am lucky and had no halos or floaters which is common. There were times my left eye seemed blurry but i think it’s fine now. The surgery was life changing and I will forever cherish my good sight that will last my entire lifetime. Btw, I had a lens replacement with the upgraded lens.
Before ASA, I was 4 times legally blind. Now, 3 years after ASA, I have 20/15 vision (so I see better than 20/20). I had Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA) done by Dr. Husain in May 2023. I followed all the post-surgery eye care instructions to a T. I am doing great, I am 100% healed, and Dr. Husain can't even tell he ever did any surgery on my eyes, as it looks so good. It was definitely worth the investment. It is so nice not to have to mess with contacts or glasses anymore. It was life changing, and I only wish I had done the surgery sooner. It was ...
