Dr. Elahi is by far the best and most pleasant doctor I’ve visited. Well-informed, polite, and genuinely concerned about the well-being of his patients, the results of his work are always outstanding. It can be challenging to get an appointment because he’s usually booked months in advance!

Dr. Elahi is the creme de la creme. He has the eye, hand and heart when treating you. The eye to see what the issue is and what needs to be done both medically and aesthetically, the skill to do it effectively and seamlessly and the heart because he truly cares about who he's treating. Although there might be a wait to see him, this is the doctor you should be waiting for if you have to. I recommend him 1000%.

I saw one of the highly recommended ophthalmologists in Long Island who requested me to be seen by an ophthalmoplastic surgeon. I saw Dr. Elahi at his office. As a physician, I realized that he spends time to explain your problem,treatment options and pros and cons with each procedure. He is highly competent which you can easily find out by learning about his education, honors, rewards and acomplishments. In my professional opinion, more than any thing elase, what distinguishes him from his few renowned and highly competent ophthalmoplastic surgeons in NYC is his bed side manner. I will highly recmmend him to my relatives, friends and all my patients. He is the best.

I saw Dr Elahi after a previous eyelid surgery had left me tearing a lot in one eye. He not only took the time to explain everything to me but performed a beautiful job on my eyelids. I think he is an amazing surgeon and human being. I've recommended him to all my family and friends
