Excellent doctor very thorough analysis

May 4th, 2026

Dr. Payam Amini proved to me that you can be a busy doctor and still be thorough. I went to him for a second opinion about a vitreus detachment referred by my regular ophthalmologist within the same clinic. My usual doctor always rushed, didn't even tell me that he referred me for a second opinion...I found that out by accident. Dr. Amini is even the head of retinal services. He made time for all my questions and even apologized for making me wait.

I love the staff very polite, dr. Amini is great there are times where it takes long to see him but he has alot of people to see. I would not change dr for anything

Dr, Amini was friendly and easy to understand. Answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. This was my first visit with him so I was concerned he might not be a good fit for me but was pleasantly surprised to the contrary.
