Dr. Navin H Tekwani, MD

I arranged for cataract surgery with Tekwani, as they're an in network provider for my insurance. They booked my surgery at an outpatient surgery center, rather than an in network hospital, that used a third party anesthesiologist. After *much* digging, I was able to determine that the the surgery center and anesthesiologist were out of network. I got vague assurances that they would negotiate with my insurance, write off most of the difference, and only stick me with a small amount. But that's not how it works. I'd have to sign a guarantee of payment and I'd be responsible for whatever they couldn't collect from my insurance. In fact, anesthesiologists are the primary source of "surprise billing," precisely because of this scam. They intentionally don't sign up as in network providers so they can bill patients whatever they like. I canceled my surgery with Tekwani and made arrangements with Barnes Jewish, as their resources are fully in network. I don't know if Tekwani gets a… kickback for this arrangement, but it doesn't matter. It's unethical to put patients in this position, and not disclose it without serious digging, whether they benefit financially or not. I will never go to nor recommend Tekwani.

I have been a patient of his father and Dr. N. Tekwani for many, many years. His is a very compassionate and kind physician who takes the time to listen and to make sure of a correct diagnosis. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a wonderful ophthalmologist.

Dr. Tekwani is absolutely amazing, he takes his time explaining things and the environment is wonderful, clinic very clean and staff is excellent. I want to give a special shout out to Alicia who took great care of me. Thank you Dr. Tekwani for the excellent care.

This office is the best

The wait times are ridiculous. Over an hour wait beyond appointment time for a woman in a wheelchair! Unfriendly, unprofessional staff.

I would trust any of my family to his care.

I'm a 30yr old female patient of Dr. Tekwani's for a decade now. He has been a wonderful doctor, so when I decided to get LASIK I knew he was the only one I had complete trust in. I was not a LASIK candidate so he advised I get PRK. It was the best decision I ever made! He was very patient with my questions, and very informative and reassuring. I had a high Rx, -10 and -9.5 with astigmatism in both eyes. I had been wearing contacts/glasses since I was 8, but for 2 months now I have been lens free and loving it! My vision fluctuated for several weeks, but that is expected. Now I see better than with the lenses, best money I'll probably ever spend! Speaking of which, the cost was market competitive. Very happy patient!

Dr.Tekwani performed my catatact surgery a couple of weeks ago on my right eye. All I can say is ..fantastic! Cant wait to get my other eye done in a few weeks.
