Dr. Gaur took the time to get up to speed on my case bd was very thorough in her assessment of my condition and recommending a course of treatment that was appropriate until I saw my regular optometrist.

Your services are very professional and comprehensive. All employees are courteous and knowledgeable. My outcome was positive and I'm glad I chose Assill Gaur for this surgery. My only negative comment would be about the horrendously long 90210 Health site questionnaire. IMO, It was needlessly deep with hundreds of questions and took 20-30 minutes to go through with medical questions I've never been asked before (I'm 74). I was not prepared for such an ordeal, and it left me wondering who 90210 Health was or if it was even part of your company! A little heads up it was coming would've been appropriate, as it came out of the blue, and suggested I might not be permitted to continue if I didn't fill it out completely! This is why I gave you a 9.

I am so beyond grateful for Doctor Assil and his incredible staff. I could not have asked for a better experience!

Wendy A.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I think asking me to arrive at 5 am for a 6:30 procedure was unnecessary. If you asked me to be there promptly by 5:45, that would have been plenty of time for pre-op and more respectful of my time.
