I owe my life to the entire staffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Dr Azman a couple years ago as I was suffering from severe dry eyes and having issues with past corneal neovascularization in my right eye. He is a fantastic eye doctor. Not only is he compassionate, but he is very thorough in treating complex issues. He treated my dry eyes and recommended a long term solution: scleral contact lenses (a complex process). We went through the process together and every step of the way, he made sure I was comfortable -and most importantly, my eyes were ok. I don't see him anymore as I had cataract surgery (and live far away) but I recommend him to anyone with or without eye issues. He is one of the best eye doctors I have ever seen. I still think of him often which is why I decided to finally write this review (even though it has been some time) since I have seen him.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super helpful. Was struggling with dry eye, and Dr. Azman was able to treat it really effectively.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Thomas Azman is truly an incredible doctor. We spent 9 hours in his office with him and his staff and I couldn’t have been any happier. Truly an impeccable physician and human. I wish all physicians were like this man. We traveled 12 hours to see him and I am beyond thankful the care this man gave my son. His staff is absolutely amazing as well. Thank you Dr Azman and staff.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy with Dr Azman. I have extremely dry, painful eyes and Restasis is just not effective. Dr. Azman performed IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment and after one treatment my eyes feel so much better. Over the 2 weeks since my treatment, I have less pain, swelling, dryness and crustiness around my eyelids. My contact lenses feel comfortable. I am so pleased with my results. Dr. Azman and his entire staff are exceptional: kind, compassionate and professional. He listens and answers all of my questions. My examination was so thorough. I have been suffering for years not knowing all of the options available to me. If you have dry eyes , I highly recommend Dr. Azman.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff here is always very warm, professional, and knowledgeable! Definitely recommend Azman Eye Care SpecialistsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have strong astigmatism; finding comfortable contacts that give crisp vision has always been a challenge. The Azman team, each time, makes an effort to get the most comfortable lenses with best vision for me. They give samples for me to take home and try and follow up with an appt to access those samples. I do find coming to Azman Specialists for my eye health a top priority; I never feel rushed out.
