Testimonials
"Dear Dr. Kotecha,
Once upon a time when you were examining my right eye (few years ago), you mentioned that you thought the color of a cyst in the corner of the eye socket had changed color. The "caring for the whole patient" ethic was in full force. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the biopsy tested positive for cancer! I am indebted to you. I would never have considered such a procedure without your warning. I thank you immensely for yet another service to a very grateful patient."

"If you are considering laser eye surgery, look no further. Sure the goal is perfect vision, but the overall experience in the care given before, during, and after the surgery makes a huge difference. Dr. Kotecha's professionalism and personal care exceeded my expectations in all of these areas.
Before the surgery, she took the time to explain in detail all about the surgery and answered all of my questions and concerns without making me feel rushed or pushed into and she made my cofort and outcome her priority. The procedure was surprisingly easy and painless. I was able to see clearly that evening without my glasses! Dr. Kotecha showed genuine concern for my care and new perfect vision!!
If you're considering Lasik surgery, with Dr. Kotecha, DO IT! You'll wonder why you waited sooo long."
