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.

I was fortunate to be referred to the highly skilled and compassionate Dr. Jeanine Baqai for a laser treatment to remove a bubble in my eye. From the moment I stepped into her clinic, I was greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff that immediately put me at ease. Their warm demeanor and attentiveness created an atmosphere of comfort and reassurance. Dr. Baqai's expertise and dedication to her patients were evident from the start. She took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, addressing all my concerns and patiently answering each of my questions. Her wealth of knowledge and clear communication style left me feeling confident in her abilities and assured that I was in capable hands. During the treatment itself, Dr. Baqai's skill and precision were truly remarkable. She performed the laser procedure with utmost care and proficiency, ensuring my comfort throughout the entire process.

My husband and I have used Dr. Baqai for years now and we are very impressed by her professional skills, empathetic demeanor and medical knowledge. Dr. Baqai has gone above and beyond with our healthcare as demonstrated during the time my husband had cataract surgery, and then needed an emergency operation for a burst appendix. While my husband lay in the hospital following the abdominal surgery, Dr. Baqai PERSONALLY showed up to examine his eye for the follow up of the cataract surgery from three days prior. Instead of palming the exam on one of her residents or assistants, she came into his hospital with great cheer and lugging some heavy equipment. A bad situation immediately improved due to her empathy and top level care. The only negative is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they seem to be a bit backed up and in-office appointment wait times are a bit annoying. Plan ahead to bring a book or iPad because she is worth the wait.

She cancelled two appointments I had made months in advance, one only two days before the appointment, without providing guidance to another opthamologist or an explanation. Her next available appointment was another two months out. I did have an appointment in 2016 and yet her office said I would be considered a "new patient" after 2 years without an appointment. Never going back.
