I want to commend Dr. H. Amiel on the very professionalism of his time spent with me. Along with answering all my concerns pre, during and post surgery. Not only is he very professional but very personal, making me relaxed and made the complete process a positive event. I wholeheartedly recommend to any one who is thinking about or looking for a Doctor for Cataract Surgery to seriously consider Dr. Amiel

My cataract surgery was complicated by the Rk surgery I'd had years ago. Dr Amiel utilized not only the technology available to him, but his knowledge and intuition to get great results for me. He I spent time with me to make sure I understood what was happening and answered all my questions and fears. I highly recommend him.

I have already scheduled for Dr. Amiel to do surgery on my other eye. From start to finish, my experience with Omni and Dr. Amiel and his staff was comfortable. Everyone is so efficient and nice! Dr. Amiel is very caring and puts you at ease immediately. The day of the surgery in the the pre-op area, everyone was so chatty and cheerful that I didn't even get a case of nerves.

Dr. Amiel has done cataract surgery for me and my wife. He has an excellent bedside manner and is a terrific surgeon. We both had an outstanding experience at his office and everyone was very nice and carring.On occasion we do have to wait to see him but he is worth the wait. My vision is very important to me and I wouldn't mess around with other optomology offices. This one is the best. We can both see really well and are very happy with his care. I would highly recommend him.
