I have nothing but the most positive comments to make about Doctor Jovkar. He's a man who takes whatever time necessary to answer your question(s). I've recommended lots of friends to Doctor Jovkar, some with difficult problems. He's a very nice doctor and human being! P.S. I also like his staff!

Dr Jovkar has been very diligent in finding the right procedure to fix my eyes. He did some surgery himself and introduce me to the right specialist when he thought they could help. The result is wonderful as I am 67 and still have 20/20 when I could have lost my vision. i must add that his team is very compassionate and easy to work with.
