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.

Cataract surgery
No clear answers as to why vision is blurry 10 days after cataract surgery with an upgraded iol that was recommended by him. His only excuse is to blame me, the patient for being aware and cognizant for the abnormal changes in vision contradicting a successful cataract replacement. Not the rush through surgery that was implemented by the surgery center, measurements completed by the office staff or the choice recommended in the iol.

My whole family has been going to Dr. Hedaya for almost 20 years. He is very thorough and always gives us the right advice. Sometimes it is necessary to wait, but we do it. He is able to do an exam without dilating the pupils, so it is possible to drive after. Recommended

I would not recommend Dr. Hedaya. He performed cataract eye surgery on both of my eyes. I didn't improve and when I went back he wanted to perform another surgery charging $600 that the insurance didn't cover. Why he didn't stated that since the beginning?

Ok optometrist but a really poorly mannered man. I was referred by a friend and I was told to not mind his manners and just go get your eyes checked. He was quite full of himself with a huge ego that I thought his head was going to explode. I just ignored him most of the time. Like I said ok Dr but poorly mannered

This guy sucks! I made an appointment over 1 month ago and they called twice to postpone. His office must think there are no other eye doctors who can take his place!
