First appointment with them, he went step by step explaining results of my testing, history, and making a plan to move forward. Appreciated the honesty of his explanations and allowing me input in future follow ups.

Very demanding,necessarily so, with trying to get everything done in a limited amount of time. His breath was a little offending.

Knowledgeable, professional caring courteous

He sat down with me and took time to go over my medical history concerning my eye condition, let me know issues that may come up in future and took adequate time with me during my appointment. I didn't feel rushed.

Since the new clinic in Sun Prairie requires a much longer trip for me, he suggested that he could see if another ophthalmologist at the west Madison clinic might be available for future exams. Since this was my first visit with Dr. Ghghawala (my previous Dr. had retired), I thought that this was very considerate. But since I was pleased with his exam, I will continue to make the longer trip in the future.

Dr. G has been treating me for a re-occurring eye infection. Which has and is difficult. His attention to my needs has been and is exceptional.

Dec 29, 2025
he was trying to explain my eye situation to me while I was in the middle of his examination. I was unable to really have a conversation about the situation and ask questions. Felt I was being pushed to have the cataract procedure without fully understanding the options or timing.

He was very pleasant and seemed to know his stuff

Dec 16, 2025
Dr G. Is understanding and listens. It is refreshing

Dec 15, 2025
Dr. Ghoghawala did a great job of explaining all aspects of the procedure and necessary post procedure steps.

Dec 13, 2025
The appointment felt rushed and he spent most of the time documenting things in the computer and not even looking at me when he was talking.

Dec 12, 2025
He was very personable, listened closely to my concerns and cared!! I truly wish I could have him as my doc, but the east side of Madison is just too far away for me!

Dec 10, 2025
As I sad, he is not robotic, all verbal interactions were ‘clipped’ as in a race. Not a relational person. I will find a different provider.

Dec 6, 2025
Gracias por ser amable con los pacientes (English translation: Thank you for being kind with the patients.)

This was my first visit with Dr. Ghoghawala. He was well versed regarding my history with previous care givers at the clinic.

Dec 6, 2025
Dr. G. is very professional and he's the only doctor that I know that wears a suit and stylish socks.

Dec 5, 2025
A professional, knowledgeable and thorough surgeon. I would highly recommend him

This was my first time seeing this doctor. He had obviously researched my records before this appointment and was very familiar with my medical history. He was very knowledgeable, professional and cordial.

Very thoughtful

Nov 7, 2025
I had to wait a long time in the room to see him which was inconvenient.

Nov 5, 2025
Because he inherited me as a patient, I couldn't get in as soon as I wanted. Every one seemed overwhelmed to me.

Oct 31, 2025
He was personable, professional, and attentive. He knew my history and explained things very clearly. Dr. Geanon had said he would ensure I had someone "good" when he retired, and he was right. My second Dr. G and I'm very pleased.

Oct 31, 2025
This was my first visit with Dr. Ghoghawala after the retirement of Dr. Geanon. He took the time to study notes in my file and was thorough in the discussion of my history and current check up.

Oct 29, 2025
Dr. Ghoghawala was great, although it seemed he wasn't listening at times. To be fair, he was inputting information at the time.

Oct 25, 2025
Very knowledgeable about my needs and suggested solutions without pressure
