Dr. Amin Ashrafzadeh, MD

I was referred to Doctor Ashrafzadeh from another doctor and after reading the reviews and my appointment experience, I felt confident that my second cataract surgery would be a success. It's too late once you are laying there in surgery to leave however, if I could have, I would have. Dr. Ashrafzadeh was rude, told me to "shut up" because I was complaining about the pain, burning, intense light like from welding and cold water jetted into my eye. Dr. Ashrafzadeh said, "keep both eyes open or it will hurt more", "It's just going to hurt you more". The body just naturally wants to close both eyes if you have broken glass in one, because that is how I felt, the eyes getting the surgery felt like shards of glass stuck in my eye being dragged over the surface. Since I had an I.V. but I'm laying back I felt nothing administered that would calm or alleviate my pain. I was white knuckled laying there, Dr. Ashrafzadeh complained at me the entire time. I would like to believe even an… animal is treated better in surgery. I had requested the same kind of lens that I had in my other eye for this eye. Today is the next day after surgery and the new lens has an over exposed look vs. the other lens. Dr. Ashrafzadeh couldn't even get that correct. I would not wish the pain, torture, humiliation and degrading for any patient. I recommend you keep looking.
