"....And the beat goes on....." every six weeks, I show up for my "stick-in-the-eye" treatment with Dr. Patel and his gang. Every six weeks is an instantly successful procedure. "Hello" to all, go in, check meds list for changes, Show moreeye chart test, poke in the eyes with the pressure pen for IOP, go sit in the waiting room in a corner, be quiet, behave myself and wait for Retina photos, get the photos, squirt in the eye with the first "goop", Dr. Patel sweeps in, does his more-goop-in-the eye process, positions the eye lid spreader, presents the injection, says A little pressure", administers the injection, wipes away the goop, irrigates the eye - flushing more goop away, says "six weeks", escorts me to check out and we're good to go. All less than 30 minutes by my Atomic Radio Wrist Watch. "...And the beat goes on....". No Fuss, No Muss, No Cuss. Back home via the Tollway North and "Nap Time". Been doing this for two years and seven months. Staff may change from time to time, but the quality doesn't. Matches my almost-OCD personality. Good people. Sooner done; sooner fun. Carry on.
If you have an issue with your retina, this is the practice you want! I had my retina detach in one eye on a Saturday. My regular eye doctor came in, made the evaluation and recommended this practice as quickly as I could get it. Show moreThat turned out to be about an hour later. Dr. Lieu met me in the office and did an emergency procedure to stabilize the retina. On Thursday Dr. Patel did surgery to reattach my retina. On my end the surgery was a breeze - I slept! Now, two months later, my vision is great. Everyone I met at this practice treated me professionally and friendly. My vision was their number one priority. I highly recommend them for retina problems. CR

Fast and quick
Very pleasant, but it would be more pleasant if there would be a cure for macular degeneration.
Very good
Making an appointment is very easy. The staff are all very polite and caring. Dr Patel is very nurturing himself, states clearly his findings and recommendations. I sincerely find it a joy to have my yearly check up and generally walk away feeling uplifted by this experience.
