Here are some of the compliments we have received from satisfied patients. We enjoy hearing from our patients and always strive to provide excellent service and care.
"I feel that a miracle has happened to me. When Dr. Hakim explained that I needed cataract surgery, I thought it would help my eyesight, but I never expected it to be perfect eyesight. It's like I have a whole new way of looking at things. I went in one day, and then in a few days, the miracle happened. I recommend anyone who is considering surgery to just do it--you will be thrilled! Especially with Dr. Hakim as your doctor."

" I am very scared of doctors and when I had to go get an eye exam and a small procedure on my eye, I was very nervous. Luckily, I made an appointment with Dr. Hakim. Throughout the whole exam and procedure, I was so comfortable. It was the best care I've ever received. Dr. Hakim was the most kind, considerate, caring, conscientious and talented doctor that I've ever been too. I would recommend her to anyone. She's amazing!"
--Melissa Ordway
"Dr. Hakim performed cataract surgery on my right eye. The care I received was excellent, and the outcome was better than I ever expected. My vision now is perfect, and I couldn't be happier."
--Mary Gullo
"Dr. Melinda Hakim removed a large cataract from my right eye in August 2007. The results were remarkable and immediate on the day after surgery when the bandages were removed. My right eye immediately became my good eye. One week later, my right eye tested at 20/20 vision. This result, after ten years of very blurry vision, is nothing short of amazing. Thank goodness I found Dr. Hakim. She is the best!!"
--Gregory Young
"Dr. Hakim is an outstanding surgeon. She removed the cataracts in both of my eyes. I have 20/20 vision now without glasses. Thank you for allowing me to see so well now."
--George Drumgo
"I met Dr. Melinda Hakim when I contracted uveitis for the second time. The first opthamologist that I saw did some blood tests but never explained why nor did he give me much information. My uveitis was severe and caused me extreme physical pain in both eyes and I could barely see and was hypersenstive to light.
Dr. Hakim took the time to treat me like a person, an individual who was frightened and in pain. She also did blood tests but explained that she needed an ACE level on me. By incorporating me into her treatment plans, I was not fearful and felt confident with my doctor. She took the extra time to go that extra mile for me and I was referred to specialists who diagnosed me with sarcoid as the cause of my attacks of uveitis. I thought that my life would be forever plagued by eye probelms, but Dr. Hakim and the specialists that she referred me to made me grasp that there was a cure that did not include surgery. I'm glad that I found her, as uveitis is extremely painful and I can't imagine life without my eyesight.
I highly recommend her as a doctor and as someone you'd select as a friend. A very thorough and sensitive doctor and friend."

"Dr. Melinda Hakim removed a thick cataract from my right eye in July 2007. Dr. Hakim is an outstanding surgeon. I never felt any pain during or after the surgery. I never expected to have perfect eyesight on the next day and no pain. She did a GREAT job for me and the outcome was better than I had ever expected. My vision now is perfect. I recommend to anyone who is considering surgery to just do it! Especially with Dr. Hakim as your doctor. She is the best!"
--Andy Cooper
"A year ago while driving I was not able to read the street signs. I went to see Dr. Hakim and she said that I had cataracts in both eyes. After operating and getting rid of the cataracts in my right eye and putting in a new lens I was able to see much better. After the healing was done, Dr. Hakim operated on my left eye and now I can see without glasses except for reading. It is a pleasure to see so well again after so many years.
Dr. Hakim was wonderful in that she was always concerned for my welfare and my sight. She answered all of my questions which were many and was available for any questions that I had between appointments.
I can't think of any doctor that would have been as concerned or caring as she was."
--Eli Rubenstein
"In November 2006, I had cataract surgery on my right eye. After my follow up appointment, the vision in my right eye had improved to 20/20. In addition to the very successful surgery, Dr. Hakim has been treating me for glaucoma in both right and left eyes for the past few years and as of my last appointment in November 8, 2007 the pressure in both eyes was normal. I am very grateful to Dr. Hakim for changing how I see things and I really enjoy having the vision I used to have."
--Gene Powell
"I came to dr. Melinda Hakim with a red inflammatory bump on my lower eyelid. Nothing would make it go away. Dr. Hakim recommended a steroid injection to help resolve the inflammation. She made me feel so comfortable and safe during the procedure. She is so gentle and thorough. Now my eye is back to normal and I have her to thank!"
--Megan McCue
"I recently had the removal of a large cyst from my eye socket by Dr. Hakim, one of the best doctors. The procedure was painless, quick, and I felt fine right after the surgery. Due to my multiple medical problems, I am a very complicated and difficult patient. I am very pleased with the outcome and the way everything was done on the highest professional level."
--Yuliya Balagula
"In addition to being extremely thorough in her evaluation and skillful in surgery, Dr. Melinda Hakim treated me with caring, kindness, and deep concern, traits that I value as a patient. By the way, now I have 20/20 vision after she performed my cataract surgery!"
