How likely are you to recommend Dr. Tekwani?
Dr. Sham Tekwani is one of the finest doctors I have ever had. He was my eye doctor for 25 years or so and I trusted him completely. He took care of eye injuries over the years, chronic dry eye for years, removed cataracts & did lense implants. I always felt safe in his hands. I had to switch insurance and they dropped Dr. Tekwani from the their list. It sickened me! Finest, most trusted doctor of my life and caretaker of my eyes! Thank you Dr. T. I really miss the security of you as my doctor.
