Dr. Vakharia is very knowledgeable and caring. I saw her for the first time while my retina specialist was out of town, and I was so impressed with the thoroughness of her exam and the compassion she showed that I am now considering switching to her as my primary retina specialist.

Dr. Vakharia is truly exceptional. She took the time to explain every treatment option in detail for my retinal detachment Her bedside manner is incredibly kind and attentive; she listened carefully to all my concerns and never made me feel rushed. The office staff was also welcoming and professional, and I was seen exactly at my appointment time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable surgeon.

Dr. Vakharia was a most professional & pleasant person. I enjoyed meeting her & my experience w/ the injection was great. My nose usually pours after the injection for the entire rest of the day & my eye feels gritty for at least 2 days afterwards. I had no problems w/either & have been surprised & grateful. Thank you!

Took my son here for a first appointment. Was asked to arrive 30min early for new patient paperwork. Completed it rather quickly. Still about 20min from actual appointment time, he was seen right away. Everyone was amazing & thorough. He moved to 3 different rooms for different reasons and waited no longer than 2-3 minutes in a room. First class staff and operation like a well oiled machine.

Dr. Vakharia is a very caring and compassionate doctor. She really listens to patient concerns, is genuine and easy to talk to. She is thorough in reviewing and analyzing testing results. When I first saw her in 2025, she was concerned that I might have a rare eye disease and encouraged me to have genetic testing. She was correct in her diagnosis which had been misdiagnosed by a different retina specialist. She then helped set up an appointment with a genetic disease retina specialist a couple of hours from my house who praised Dr. Vakharia for her correct evaluation. In addition, when the genetic evaluation confirmed the disease, Dr. Vakharia herself called me on the phone to tell me directly. I have so much respect for her and feel lucky to be in her care.
