I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Sal on my first visit to the practice. The staff was very nice from scheduling the appointment to checkout. Dr. Sal conducted a thorough exam for my annual contact prescription. He has a nice sense of humor, a great understanding of my medical history, and optimal equipment. I highly recommend Dr. Sal.

Dr. Saleel Jivraj helped me with my dry eyes. I saw other professionals, but he was the only one who was able to determine what I needed to cure my dry eyes. I suffered for months and went through so many different medications with no avail. I am very grateful he was able to help me.

Perhaps the most self centred person I have ever met. 20min appointment, 15min bragging, no treatment recommended.

I have been a patient of Dr. Jivraj for 5 years, and I wouldn't trust my eye care to anyone else. He is fantastic and very informative. I have learned so much about my eyes from him. He takes the time to listen, and if you ask questions, he uses them as a teaching moment. I highly recommend him as an optometrist to my family and friends!
