I was very impressed with Dr. Hamzavi! He was very kind and thorough and explained my problem so that I understood what was going on! Thank you very much!

Dr Hamzavi is the best, that's why I'm there!!
October 23, 2025
I felt very confident being there at the facility. I think this is my mistake and no one else's. I did not ask what I could do to help my condition and it seems like I have no place to go right now to know what I can do to help my dry macula. I was surprised because I was told it was wet and then I went and found it was dry, but I don't have any a further appointment. I don't have any information to go on what I should be doing now. And I think that's my problem for not asking, but I would love to know that answer. Thank you.

August 21, 2025
Visit was long and seemed to be drawn out. Maybe next time will be better. First Dr, office were workers showed up 5 minutes before appointments were scheduled to start.
August 20, 2025
Fabulous!
August 19, 2025
I was very disappointed and somewhat alarmed that I was refused being given any information about my visit. I was only given a card and told to call a phone number. I have always received some information about my visit, documentation, which I would turn over to my doctor because I don't live in this state. So I don't think there's any good reason not to give in. And I insisted, and I still didn't get anything. So if this is a new policy, I don't think it's very good. I will have to go to the trouble of calling and asking for information without even a way to know how to reference my visit. Thank you. Goodbye.
August 18, 2025
It was great!
August 13, 2025
This visit was a referral for a potentially life changing problem and I was scheduled the next day. I had to have a laser procedure unexpectedly at the visit. I was 100% impressed with how quickly I was scheduled ALL the support staff and especially Dr Hamvazi. I am so thankful to have such a skilled specialist available in our community!!
August 12, 2025
The doctor and his staff were amazing; however, they could certainly use more people. That doctor had to do all the prep work needed because not enough help. Dr. Hamzavi is fantastic. You're very fortunate to have him.

They didn't tell me they would be dilating my eyes, and I had to go back in and ask for glasses. I had to drive myself an hr 1/2 home. Also I'm pretty sure I need glasses but that info wasn't shared with me.

I was very satisfied with the treatment I received.
April 29, 2025
The Physician was excellent! Front desk could use some help. Way too many signs for a practice that specializes in eyesight. A little decor in the waiting room and cartoons on the TV??????? The percentage of adults versus children in a retina Practice, they could put on something else besides cartoons.

Dr. Hamzavi is an excellent physician! He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. The day of my recent appointment was a storm day. Dr. H was the only Dr. to make the effort of a long commute in very dangerous conditions to make sure his patients were taken care of. For this l am extremely grateful! He gives 110% and goes well beyond the call of duty.
