Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2023
I’m so glad that i was referred to Dr Dessouki by my general ophthalmologist 2 1/2 years ago. Thanks to his expertise and thoroughness he has successfully treated my eyes for central serous retinopathy! I am now free of any worrisome symptoms! His bedside manners are excellent! He is very friendly and patient. He explains the diagnosis and necessary treatment in understandable terms! He always emphasizes that if I would experience anything unusual I should call him immediately! I feel to be in caring and good hands! The friendliness and competence of his staff deserves also the highest ratings!
