Patient Reviews
Dec 26, 2020
Dr Bakir is a great surgeon. He is very confident of his abilities, but not at all arrogant. He treated my cataracts. Now I have better vision than I had as a kid. Dr. Bakir was very honest before surgery, that having astigmatism he couldn't recommend a type of lens I was inquiring about. He was careful and even recalled me back to office for a test he felt would help. He consulted with a glaucoma specialist about my case. I love the fact that he knows what he doesn't know and talks to someone else. And he listened to me, answering all my questions. I am telling everyone I know to seek him out. His follow up on the surgery is extensive until the eye is completely healed. And wants a 6 month follow up after that. A great and professional doctor.
