Beth RheingoldThis is my third time seeing Dr. Azman for my severe dry eye, or ocular rosacea. I found this practice doing a Google search for dry eye specialists. I was experiencing such terrible symptoms—I could barely produce any moisture in my eyes; they were scratchy and bloodshot all the time. Restasis didn’t help. Dr. Azman recommended the IPL treatment and even treats the rosacea on my face because it all contributes to dry eye. Dr. Azman has a wonderful bedside manner—he listens carefully, assessed my situation, and explained the recommended treatment. Dr. Azman explains everything as he does it (applying eyedrops, putting in eye protection for the IPL, etc), and checks to make sure you’re feeling comfortable. The office staff is also great, and the office is beautiful with calm music planning. I appreciate all the thoughtful touches, but especially Dr. Azman’s expertise. The treatment has been very beneficial so far—I still have one more treatment to go. If you suffer from dry eye, look no further than this practice. You will be well cared for.Posted on Google

nateI visited Dr. Azman for eye glasses prescription and dry eyes treatment. My eyes felt dry, rough, and sore. Dr. Azman was friendly and caring. His experience treating dry eyes was something that I needed. Thanks for the friendly and efficient technical staff for eyes examination. Also, front desk helping complete required forms. This was my first visit to Dr. Azman’s clinic. The initial treatment required daily four prescription eye drops and Lid Scrubs as needed. On my follow-up visit, I was glad to report the success of the initial treatment. Dr. Azman prescribed new eye drops with fewer side effects for long term application. I also appreciated the thoughtful and efficient technicians for doing the eye examination and eye pressure test. I wish Dr. Azman continued success helping patients.Posted on Google
Michael StarnesInnovative tech, for dry eye patients you need all of the tools available to really keep your eyes healthy and happy. The two doctors on staff are very caring and really good about addressing the root causes of dry eye and scientifically addressing the problems (no ""you are too young gor dry eye"" or ""you look fine""). Very happy to have access to the opthamologists here they are the best.Posted on Google
Kat LoucksKatie in reception is amazing! Really great experience for treating dry eye. Dr Azman was very kind and knowledgeable and really cares about his patients.Posted on Google
Kelisha MartinI discovered this practice through a Google search, and I am very glad that I selected this practice after being informed that I must obtain hard contacts for my keratoconus. All of the staff that I met at this practice were also very kind, and very professional which made me feel very comfortable and I am very grateful. I also ask a lot of questions, being that I’m new to all of this, and they assured me it was OK to ask as many questions as I wanted to. Dr. Azman made sure to listen to all my concerns and also to make sure I had the best vision with my lenses.Posted on Google
Dean MichaelsDr Benjamin is great! After a thorough exam, he took the time to listen to me and created a solution that fit me and my life and activities - the ways I used my eyes. And not only did it work well, it was so good for me that years later when I needed cataract surgery, I explained it to my surgeon and he set my lenses up the way Dr Benjamin set up my contacts and glasses. Dr Benjamin literally set my vision up for life! I can't say thanks enough. Dean MichaelsPosted on Google
Eric Gainey JrFrom the moment you walk into the office, you feel taken care of. Dr. Azman is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and thorough. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure you understand your eye health. I’ve never felt rushed, and I always leave feeling confident about my vision care. On top of that, he genuinely cares about his patients. You can tell this isn’t just a job for him he has a real passion for what he does. If you’re looking for an eye doctor who is professional, caring, and simply the best at what he does, look no further. Additionally the office looks amazing. Hands down, Dr. Azman is the greatest of all time when it comes to eye care!Posted on Google

I see well, and my contact lens needs are easily accommodated. Their care and concern for me as a patient is genuine and reassuring. Everyone in the practice is friendly, helpful, and accommodating.Posted on Google
Matthew BooneI was referred by my AME for a color blind test for the new FAA regulations for a new student pilot. With a clear and informative talk with one of the doctors, I was able to obtain all the information about the specific FAA tests that are required that they also offer in their practice. Fortunately I was able to use that information to find a place closer to me that offers this service (which is not easy to find by the way). I am so thankful for the informative talk and professionalism they showed me. Thank you so much!!
