Dr Jain, is an exceptional surgeon and cares greatly for his patients.I had a detached retina found late by another doctor, and Dr Jain noted the immediate need for surgery, and he made room on his calendar to see me. He performed a successful surgery, and counseled me regularly on recovery.I am very thankful for him.

From the very beginning all the doctors took excellent care of me. Everything was explained to me and they came together to discuss the best way to heal my eye. Dr. Milner wasn't part of the team, but he came and personally checked on me before I went Into surgery. Dr. Jain and the nurses called frequently to check on me after the surgery.

Asked if the previous condition was resolved he said no. He did not address the test I did previously with the tech, did not address my eye pressure, I mentioned it and he said to f/u with Dr costarides. He was in a hurry to get me out of the office as it was now getting late. As a Healthcare provider myself I don't think he explained my concerns and offered any kind of suggestions or make me feel comfortable with my condition.
