Had all my questions answered and the treatment Dr Ganelis provided worked after seeing other eye doctors who were of no help. Dr Ganelis is very knowledgeable, her office has the latest equipment and you can trust her with your eyes. You can see she cares about your vision. You are not rushed and she provides free medication samples. Dr Ganelis is the one you want to see if you want to “see”

Great experience. Prompt, very knowledgeable, accommodating and polite. Addressed my issue very quickly, the diagnosis was spot on. Have 2 older family members seeing her as well. 3 surgeries, 20+ visits over the last few years between all my family members. Can not recommend highly enough.

Dr. Irina Ganelis is amazing. After being diagnosed with dry eyes, within two seconds of looking at my eyes, she knew why. She saw me for several weeks, and explained each week why she was making the decisions that she was making - we had to change solutions, type of contact, etc to identify what could be wrong with my eyes. She was very good, polite and friendly. She was answering all my questions professionally and I found the staff to be very nice

Dr. Ganelis is like my friend whom I can trust with my eyes. She always examines me patiently, answers all questions and returns my calls on the same day. After my cataract removal I can see clearly and do everything without glasses. She is one of the most caring doctors I have ever had!

Definitely highly recommend to anyone. Very pleasant doctor. Spent considerable time explaining the details of the surgery to me.All went really well and I can see great without glasses. She even took her time to personally talk to me over the phone before and after surgery to answer my questions.
