Dr Abdelghani is one of the best eye doctors there is I have been seeing him since 2008 and he has saved my eyesight as the doctor in Omaha told me that I would be totally blind in three years in 2007 when I saw Dr Abdelghani downShow more here for the first time he told me I’m gonna be very aggressive with your eyes because we have nothing to lose and as of today I can still see things are foggy, but I can still see to get around he’s a wonderful wonderful doctor and he doesn’t hurry or visit and he explains things to you very good and he’s very gentle. He has done several different surgeries on me. His staff is always friendly, efficient and very caring. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
