See my comment in previous question. Addionally, I was impressed when Dr. Khalifa advised against cataract surgery, but revered me to one of your retina specialists. I had previously been examined at the eye care providers, none of whom suggested that my contact lens vision was goodbye my retinal need further examination. Being told that cataract surgery was not appropriate now makes it obvious that you are not doing cataract surgeries siply for the associated fees. I cannot say enough about Dr. Khalife's professional and honest treatment.

Doctor detected broken suture of cornea surgery from 2016. He very carefully removed suture and showed me stitch. He even interrupted his lunchtime to attend to my medical need. What a relief to know my discomfort was a stitch issue that was cared for so successfully.

Dr. Khalfla was excellent in his approach to me and my needs as cataract candidate and how I wear glasses. I appreciate his professional manner. I did forget to state some eye concerns such the right runs, morning eye matter and puffy under eyes because I was so appreciative that he answered the cataract approach to my liking.
