In patients' words

"Doctor is great but the wait is way too long. They need to monitor appointments spaced out. You can’t have a patient there for 2 hours."

Birdeye (North Shore Eye Care) patient review

"Probably the rudest and unfriendliest office workers I’ve ever encountered. Totally unprofessional! I’ve never received a hello on several visits and was treated as if they were doing me an enormous favor."

Healthgrades (Dr. Marc Imundo) patient review

"The care I received from Dr. Baharestani was exceptional. He listened attentively to my concerns and addressed my concerns. The entire team at the office displayed a high level of professionalism..."
