Dr. Annan saved my vision TWICE. It was during the holidays, and he even asked me to go in the office when it was closed because I was worried I would lose my sight. He booked me for surgery the very next day for surgery!

I have been going to Dr. El Annan since 2016. He has performed two successful procedures on my right eye. In both cases, he addressed all of my questions and concerns. I couldn't be more pleased with the care I have received under Dr. El Annan.

Went in because I had a Vitreous Hemorrhage and had vitrectomy surgery preformed by Dr. El-Annan. He explained everything that was going to happen and made me feel comfortable about the procedure... Everything went as he explained and had a successful and thorough procedure done! Happy with the outcome!

After retina reacttachment surgery, no follow up, and it was determined by a doctor at Houston Methodist that he left a bubble which has now destroyed use of retina resulting in complete loss of vision in my eye. Thanks Dr. Quack.

I found Dr. El-Annan to be very professional and very talented. His staff was exceptional from the moment I arrived. Dr. El-Annan was very knowledgeable and was very kind. I am a retired nurse who has dealt with hundreds of physicians during my career and Dr. El-Annan is right at the top of my list with the excellent care he gave me. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs excellent eye care.

Dr. El Annan is an extremely rude, self absorbed maniac. He has horrible bedside manner and I would gladly drive over one hour to see ANY retina specialist other than him!!!!
