Our Eye Care Reviews

Very friendly, supportive and patient. I had a pleasant experience at Ajax family eye care.

- Tayo B.

Dr. Sameer Patel came highly recommended. Although the location is a little out of my way, great healthcare is sometimes difficult to find, so I followed this recommendation, and have no regrets. Dr. Sameer took the time (with a smile on his face, always) to ensure I was comfortable and fully understood the exams and procedures. As well, he never made me feel like my time with him was rushed. He always seemed present and positive, and able to answer/address all of my questions and concerns. Also, he is funny - always a nice addition to great healthcare, is a sense of humour! I was allowed all the time I needed to find the perfect pair of eye-glasses/frames my initial visit. In addition, I came today for my 'teach' for inserting/removing contacts, and he was more than patient with me, through my tears and dramas around touching my eyes, successfully teaching me to wear contacts with confidance. If I had to provide one thing that I am unhappy with - it would be that I probably won't need a check up on my now (seeing eyes) for quite some time - great for my eyes! Sad for me! as the staff and environment is more than welcoming! Thank you to Ajax Family Eye Care and to Dr. Sameer Patel for helping me to reduce headaches, correct my dizziness and blurred vision and overall, see the world more clearly again and be happier! Much appreciated.

Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Dr. Gupta explained the procedure, answered my questions and went the extra mile to verify and ensure that my forms were filled correctly and that all relevant tests were completed. Overall, it was a nice experience and I highly recommend this place. Thank you Emily, Jennifer and Dr.Gupta.

- Haris M.

Very happy with services of Dr. Patel and his staff. He is knowledgeable, polite and takes his time to answer all your questions and concerns. My brother had eye exam somewhere else and I still took him to Dr. Patel for all follow ups.
