My doctor, Dr Essam, is excellent.

He has been caring for my very myopic eyes for a while and gives good advice whenever needed. I know I can always reach out if I am worried about anything.

The practice is excellent with very pleasant and caring nurses.

Very good customer service.

I would like to express my deep appreciation for Dr. Essam and the exceptional care he provided during a very difficult time for me. A full retinal detachment is a frightening experience, but Dr. Essam’s professionalism, patience, and reassurance made the entire journey much smoother. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions calmly, and consistently reassured me with his experience and confidence. Beyond his medical expertise, his human side and genuine care truly stood out and made me feel safe and supported. I am very grateful for his hard work, dedication, and compassion.

I had Pars Plana Vitrectomy on both eyes, my left eye in September 2016 by Dr. Essam. I’m very happy with the results, both doctors are truly excellent, especially Dr. Essam, who did an amazing job.

As always, I would highly recommend Magrabi for any eye-related concerns.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Magrabi team, the caring nursing staff, receptionists, equipment operators, anesthesiology team, and everyone involved. You made me feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, just as always.
