Everyone from the front desk to the nurses to Dr Tekwani, were as friendly and courteous as they could be. Dr Tekwani never made me feel rushed or like I was a burden, and he took time to completely answer all my questions and concerns. I couldn’t be happier.
Navin Tekwani and his father have been my eye doctors for 22 years. They are wonderful, caring men. I love how they don’t rush in and out the examining room they spend time with you answer and any fear you might have 10 years ago. I moved 45 minutes away from their office, I will continue to make that drive to see Dr. Tekwani.
I have had great care over the years. Recently cataract surgery by Dr Navin. I would love to stay with him but he is seeing eye surgery patients only. Now I see Dr Jones! A wonderful team of doctors.
Dr Tekwani did both my cataracts at Gateway Surgery Center. I couldn’t be more pleased with my outcome. I appreciate his skillful hands and reassuring demeanor. His staff was very professional. Thank you Dr Tekwani!
I couldn't be happier with the results of my cataract surgery. The entire team was professional, caring, and dedicated to ensuring a positive outcome. My vision is now crystal clear, and I am grateful for the exceptional care provided.
