Samih Elchahal, MD

Dr Elchahal is very direct and thorough. I feel very confident that he will be performing my cataract surgery!

Quick talking and listened when I asked for more explanation of possible skin problem under my eye. Answered in terms I understood.

Office staff very courteous and kind.

Professional and direct with his assessment. He did like my blue suede shoes.

Ageist. Terrible bed side manners. Absolutely should be ashamed of himself. We will receive a written apology.

Dr Elchahal actually saved my husband's life by recognizing a rapidly worsening and often fatal allergic reaction he was having and getting us to go straight to the hospital. When we got to the ER he was minutes away from needing intubation to breath. Dr. Elchahal's quick realization of the big picture, not just the problem with the eyes, and his insistance that we get to a major hospital immediately saved Rick's life. Once in the hospital, his involvement with care of the eyes may well have saved Rick's vision, as the hospital did not understand how intensive the eye care needed to be.

My regular eye doctor was not available, so I requested to be seen by an ophthalmologist (available) on my off day. I had been suffering with this condition all week and couldn't wait any longer. Dr. Elchahal found the problem right away. I was so happy I came and will be changing to this location for my eye appointments. It is so easy to get in and out. Left a happy patient.

I saw Dr. Elchahal as a new patient and received a very thorough eye exam and refraction. Dr. Elchahal and every person in his office were professional but also warm and good-humored. I could not have been more pleased.

The only problem is the wait time! 45 minute wait until I was brought to the room.

Efficient, focused; exudes confidence.
