I wen't to Dr. Samir after telling the appt. maker that I needed an eye exam and that I thought I had symptoms of dry eyes. I went to one of the providers of glasses but was told that he had left one box empty. Apparently my mistake, I thought that an ophthalmologist performed eye exams but it would have been nice to have known that when I made the appointment. Because I am on disability and the cost of the medicine, I was forced to ask the manufactuer of the medication for assistance. Following that decision I asked his assistants to fill out a small amount of paperwork but never, after many phone calls to his office, did I receiver a correct application. I felt no compassion or assistance from his office.

I could never thank Dr. Samir Vira enough for being the absolute best. His medical expertise and care as a five-star cataract surgeon restored my sight. How can one not be most grateful for such a gift? Blessings and grace to him, his profession, and his family. The Atlanta area is very fortunate to have such a talented and compassionate world-class professional serving our city. Love to Dr. Samir Vira with Milan Eye Center. Mere words could never express the true depths of my gratitude. Thank you.

I usually am so scared of surgeries and forced into thinking that I am in need of major surgery. Dr. Vira calmed me down and his staff is fantastic. The staff and overall experience was such a relief and I trust Dr. Vira so much that I want to come back every year for other surgeries as needed.
