Dr. Sayegh removed cataracts from both of my eyes this summer (2018), and did a wonderful job. Very friendly, too. His assistants in his office in Champaign were accommodating and very helpful. I highly recommend him and his staff.

Dr Sayegh use to make you feel like he really cared he doesn't anymore! My last appt. was very dissapointing because he did not listen to what I had to say. He messed up my left eye with cater act surgery and now laser surgery. There was a time I would recommend him to everyone but not anymore! I'm leaving him too many 2 and 3 hour appointments I don't have that kind of time to take off of work. Had it!!!!!

Dr. S. is great-he is a Phd, MD, and also teaches other opth.s and does research. Despite this, he takes anyone as a patient, including medicaid and medicare. He is very professional, caring and the only one I am comfortable entrusting my eyesight with-he has added to the expertise of doing LASIK w/his research and practice.
