DR. Shrestha did my cataract surgery on both eyes. Excellent attention to detail with a great support staff. He listened to my concerns before, during, and after my surgery. I couldn't be happier. Three thumbs up!

Recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. Dr. Shrestha provided excellent explanations of the lens options and possible outcomes. Even though I had had previous lasik surgery I went with the Crystalens (accommodating) lens. Outcome has surpassed my expectations.

Dr. Shrestha performed cataract surgery on my left eye first and about three months later the right eye. In both cases the surgery was over in about 20 minutes after he started. I had my first post-op visit later in the day so I didn't have to drive back 65 miles the following day. I was already able to start reading the eye chart. The new lenses he implanted improved my distance vision and got rid of all the glare caused by the cataracts so I don't need glasses for distance but I do need glasses for close work. There was no pain or discomfort during or after surgery. I am grateful to Dr. Shrestha and the nurses for all the good work.
