I visited Dr. Salomon Esquenazi for evaluation of dry eye symptoms. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. There was no comprehensive assessment, no clear explanation of my condition, and no structured treatment plan provided. I expected a specialist to demonstrate a deeper understanding of dry eye disease and to discuss evidence-based management options, but this was not the case. The interaction felt superficial and lacked clinical depth. Communication was minimal and dismissive, with little effort to educate or engage with my concerns. In addition, the office environment was disorganized, with long wait times and unprofessional staff behavior. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this provider.

Great LASIK surgeon. His office and staff are very pleasant and friendly. Dr Salomón Esquenazi is one of a kind. Great person and even better surgeon. We are so great full to have him in Miami.

Best cataract surgeon in Miami. Highly recommended. I had a complex cataract and after attending several other ophthalmologists Dr Esquenazi was the only one that was able to perform this complex surgery successfully. I am so happy now!

Recently had cataract surgery and was a complete success. Great doctor. Excellent bed side manners. Answered all my questions. Now I see perfectly. I would recommend Dr Esquenazi with no hesitation to anyone.

Talking to Dr Esquenazi was one of the best parts of my experience at Airala Center. He took the time to explain my disease and my treatment options. Surgery was a complete success. It was truly a great experience.

I had a corneal transplant and can see clearly again for the first time in 15 years. My mother had a very complicated cataract surgery by another surgeon and Dr. Esquenazi and his caring staff were able to fix her problem and restore her vision. We are forever greatful and would recommend anyone without hesitation. Best eye doctor in the South Florida area by far!

This is a terrible doctor who does not spend any time with the patients, does not even look at them, and make them wait over 3 hours. The facility is clean but they are there to maxime charges from paties. There are many people,including technicians (using their cell phones for personal reasons) walking around, and ignoring patients. Find another doctor unless you want to waste your time and money.

Dr Esquenazi is the best eye surgeon in town. Patient, very thorough and extremely attentive to all details. My LASIK surgery was a blessing. I regret not having met Dr Esquenazi 10 years ago

Dr Esquenazi is an excellent doctor and surgeon. Had my corneal transplant with him recently. In about 2 weeks I was able to see clearly everything and go back to work. Thank you Dr Esquenazi. You are one of a kind and we are so fortunate to have you in South Florida
