Dr. Nawas is an excellent doctor with a phenomenal bedside manner. I have had 3 eye surgeries recently. 2 cataract with IOL implants. The 3rd one was to redo one of the IOL implants. I had a problem arise that only happens about 3 times n every 100 cataract with IOL surgeries. He said he had only had 2 in his practice before me. He was very capable of handling the situation. I was very confident in his expertise and I was not disappointed. He is the best Ophthalmologist I have ever had. I highly recommend Dr. Nawas to anyone with any kind of vision problem.
