My mom was diagnosed with cataract eyes...She was operated by Dr Shaila and now she is so happy because her vision is so clear now ...DR SHAILA has done a great job...their staff is so polite and caring... thank you Dr Shaila n team
I am really so happy with Dr shaila Patel, I had operated my eyes with her and now my husband also got operated for cataract. Many people gave different suggestion to go elsewhere but we had full faith in her and we came to her for cataract surgery again. I am glad that I took this decision. My husband and myself can see everything. My family is really indebted to her and she helped us financially too.highly recommend Dr shaila and we can personally vouch for her.
I came here for my mother's eye treatment through a reference. She was diagnosed with cataract. Her vision was almost lost, but doctor explained us bout the cataract procedure and then we went for surgery. Now after surgery, she is able to see the second line from last on the vision chart. The doctor is really good by her nature. She really treats her patients with utmost love. Even her staff is good. I will recommend this place for everyone. The best part about this hospital is the balcony. That's my favorite place here. They have kept it so beautifully.
My mom had some corneal haze along with recurring episodes of pain in the right for almost a year. I came to visit Doctor Shaila mam where we got to know that she had a in issue in her right cornea and her vision was so low that she could only identify hand movements. So basically, if any doctor had to suggest, he would say cornea transplant… but Dr Shaila mam recommended a procedure called PTK. Whe went for it and now, she can read the last line on vision board without any aid of glasses. It is just a miracle for us.The clinic staff always helped incase of any emergency visit.Special thanks to dr.shaila mam for being an angel for my mom’s vision
I was searching for a good doctor for my eyes... So I got to know about her through a reference. I came here and got to know that I have cataract in my eye which was already very mature. So I immediately underwent surgery. Doctor explained everything so nicely and with patience. She is really a gem. My surgery went well and I am so happy that on the second day itself I can see everything clearly without any GLASSES!Thank you doctor. Surgery can be done everywhere but skills are important and how to implement it in a fantastic manner is important. I found this in dr Shaila. She is skillful and intellectual.Apart from that, her clinic doesn't feels like a hospital.It exudes a very homely vibe which cures a patient halfway in the waiting area itself. I am really happy I took a decision to come here.I'll take a minute to tell about her staff too.Her staff is brilliant at service.They provide you with answers and solves queries promptly.This is coming from me, a social worker working for old people and those in need. I will send people to her whenever someone is in need.
I was diagnosed with cataract two years ago , buy I was scared to undergo a surgery even though I have been a senior nurse... So I went to a doctor but then I didn't even stepped into the hospital and came out because of fear. Cut to now, I I came here to Dr. Shaila and trust me a scared person like me came here, talked to the doctor and decided on the spot for surgery. I didn't take any second opinion not with any family member also! I really don't know... I felt a connection and it just clicked... I feel like home here.So my surgery went well and I am so happy and not scared at all!My vision is back and I am so happy that I found a family.
My wife is operated for cataract surgery and it was so smooth peaceful painless that my wife really loved it. Post surgery she has completely recovered well and dr Shaila is so skilfull that during operation she didn't even feel she was being operated. We will definitely give heads up to dr Shaila and her staff.beautiful hospital too.
I came here to get my cataract surgery done. The surgery went very nicely. I didn't even know when surgery got over it was like a song was playing and my surgery was finished. Now after surgery, I can see clearly. The doctor is an amazing girl. I consider her my daughter.Stay blessed beta.
