Without a doubt, a kind, professional doctor that you would want anytime. She is like visiting a friend instead of a doctors office where you get shots in your eyes. I’m not nervous at all when I see her. She is the best.

I have had eye problems since birth. Back in the 1950’s and 60’s I am unhappy aware I was misdiagnosed. With Dr. Vakharia I have every confidence that I am in the best of care. I am so very very grateful I found her. I have been treated by so many eye specialists in my 70 plus years and Dr V stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Well run office. Set up with professionalism and care. Very good physician showing empathy, knowledge and skill for my issue. Young, but experienced and professional. Had the surgery today so don’t know the full outcome yet. My guess is it will be an outstanding recovery with full vision recovered.

As the Practice Manager for a large neurology clinic with six neurologists and 22 dedicated staff members, I am laser-focused on ensuring the highest standards of professionalism, compassionate patient care, positive attitudes, and responsiveness throughout the clinic. You would be hard-pressed to find a more committed and capable team. Dr. Vakharia exemplifies these values. She takes the time to truly listen, answers every question thoroughly, and ensures patients feel confident and supported. When you’re under her care, you know you’re in the right hands—with the right doctor and the right team behind you.

New doctor to me. She was very anxious to get all the facts about my eyes history. Used spong instead of injections for numbing the site, meaning safer less holes faster recovery . The assistants took all the nessesary pics and test for accuracy . She really cares. My new eye doctor. Five stars

Jun 12, 2025
