Dr. Vu has been part of my eye care for at least 10 years. He has always taken time to understand my needs and expectations. He is kind to work with. He is well thought of by my other eye care specialists. It was reassuring to get back together with him.

It is very important for a patient to trust her/his doctor. More over when you trust him to give you a shot in your eyes. Before I was not familiar with the word “Macular degeneration” I couldn’t imagine you get a shot inside your eye. It took me a long time to think about it. I was lucky to met Dr. Aziz Khanifar. I trust him.

Dr. Mathai is excellent. Very thorough and explains things very well. I'm very pleased with the results of my macular hole surgery and the treatment I received throughout my ordeal.
