Dr. Nisha has that unique ability to make you feel as if you are her only patient. After her very thorough explanation of why the shape of my eyeballs presented a particular challenge in selecting the appropriate lens replacement for my cataract surgery, she very patiently explained why my case required further investigation, before she could advise me on the best type of replacement lens. I appreciate a health professional who is not a ‘rubber stamper’, who’s not afraid to admit that they don’t know it all in the moment and who puts my eye health above all else. Her team was also very thorough in taking my eye measurements, checking and double-checking every step of the way.
