Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful physician
5 years ago Dr. Kuriyan performed my surgery for my detached retina. From the very beginning, he has been a kind and compassion man. He does everything to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. He answers any questions I have, and explains things so I understand. I see him annually to check my eyes. I can't say enough about him; his knowledge, compassion and kindness are wonderful.

Dr Kuriyan is the best!
Dr Kuriyan treats my wet MD every 5-6 weeks with injections in both eyes. He is such a nice person. He always checks to see how I’m doing, very down to earth and so easy to talk with. Overtime he has pushed with insurance companies for the strongest meds for my eyes to get them to the best possible level of vision. Getting injections isnt ideal but Dr Kuriyan makes the experience pleasant by his gentle nature and genuine care for my eyes. I trust him and wouldn’t want any other doctor treating my eyes.

Lobby Portrait
Dr Kuriyan always makes my visits for my highly delicate retina issues much more bearable and pleasant. Dr Kuriyan is a great communicator. I rely on his excellent communication, repetition and I appreciate his professionalism. As a patient with chronic eye issues I’m thankful to have a doctor willing to be honest and truthful about my diagnosis and treatment options. Dr Kuriyan has a great bedside manner and should be a training model for how healthcare professionals should interact with their patients. All of my appointments are in the Cherry Hill office and I’ve noticed that there are large framed photos of all the doctors except Dr Kuriyan in the front lobby. This should be fixed right away.

Dr K, helped me in a time I had no clue what was going on. My lens dislocated in both eyes and it was rare for my age. His surgical skill was amazing and his follow up was supportive and comforting. His staff is friendly and amazing also. I am glad I found him and he’s my eye surgeon!

Wonderful doctor all around!
A friend of mine referred Dr. Kuriyan to me. I am so glad she did because he made my experience in his office better than I could have ever expected. I was so scared the whole time because I just found out at a routine eye appointment that I have a detached retina. Dr. Kuriyan’s presence made me relaxed and confident that he was going to help me and take care of my eye. He is so kind and gentle. He explained everything that he was doing very clearly so that I understood what was going to happen during my appointment. I will always be grateful for him and the office for all of their help to repair my retina. I also will always refer him and his office to anyone else!
