Dr Kounkel and her team are exceptional. Everyone in the office cares about the patients. I had cataract surgery and it was the best thing I’ve ever done. I would highly recommend Physicians Eye Clinic.

Dr.Hassan did my cataract surgery. He had me see a retina specialist before doing the surgery. Dr. Hassan was very professional and kind. I had pressure issues which he addressed immediately. He was always on time for my visits. My vision is excellent. It's a lengthy process but absolutely no pain or even discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Hassan. Marv Jepsen

Shortly after, the doctor called me directly and told me he would go back to the office and ...
