Dr. Ansari was so personable and took the time to explain my situation very clearly. We came in contact with Mary Camarago who was also very kind spending a few minutes with us to make sure we were where we needed to be. Also the technicians were wonderful plus the guys that took the pictures of my eyes were very patient with me. Having a retinal scar makes it very difficult for them to get the photos they need. I greatly appreciate all of the folks we encountered.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ansari and the entire team of nurses, nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist, and registration staff at Bascom Palmer. From start to finish, your professionalism, kindness, and genuine respect for my health inquiries were truly exceptional. Although I was initially a bit apprehensive about the surgery, your team put me at ease with patience and thorough answers to all my questions. Just a few days post-op, I was amazed at how much my vision had improved — it exceeded my expectations! Thank you, Dr. Ansari and team, for making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth, calm, and ultimately life-changing. I’m so grateful for the care I received at Bascom Palmer.

The doctor showed a lot of concern for all of my questions and worries. I was concerned about my optic nerve because of a previous surgery may have damaged it. He ordered pictures to be taken and I was very happy when he reassured me that it was fine. He gave me excellent explanations of the different eye issues that I could possibly develop or not develop depending on different factors from my questions. I asked him a lot of questions and he answered all of them with no problem. He was excellent and made sure that all of my questions were answered and understood without being in a rush. He is a doctor that I would highly recommend to others.
