No complaints about my interactions with Dr. Shekhawat, whom I was seeing for a second appointment. I waited nearly an hour after the last test before he arrived.

I'm satisfied with Dr. Shekhawat's ability as an ophthalmologist and his willingness to discuss all aspects of my cataract surgeries. I had postoperative complications with the first surgery which he successfully addressed, leading to a better outcome on the second eye.

I find him very knowledgeable and conservative in his approach to my condition, not pushing me to have surgery until necessary.

Doctor seemed to be willing to spend as much time with me as needed to assess and diagnose my condition. I have seen many doctors so grateful to feel like there was an interest in truly helping diagnose and resolve the problem, which has had me in pain for over 6 months.

Dr. N.S. Shekhawat is clearly well-trained and experienced, and I have complete confidence in him. However, between the time that the technician had completed the preliminary interview and the rest of the technician's duties and Dr. Shekhawat's appearance in the exam lane, an hour and ten minutes had elapsed. I am a retired pediatric ophthalmologist, so I made suggestions as to how to stay on schedule.
