“Seeing Dr. Sajja was a very easy process, we didn’t have a long wait time. He was very pleasant, informative – precise with information and process. The appointment with the surgery scheduler was excellent and informative. I knew exactly what to expect in the surgery, which was right on time. It was relaxing – no fear or anxiety at all about the procedure or outcome. Though awake, there was no pain at all, didn’t need to take pain medication after. I feel good about the eyelid procedure – vision much improved now that the eyelid is opened up.”

“Making an appointment with Dr. Sajja was very easy. I have limited days off with my work schedule and requested a specific location. The receptionist was very pleasant and accommodating. The initial consultation with Dr. Sajja was very thorough from meeting with the assistant to Dr. Sajja to the schedule. Dr. Sajja was never rushed, most thorough, stopped frequently and allowed questions to be asked. The entire experience was great! It seemed long, but there were several steps and many areas to be covered. Everyone was most pleasant, interactive, never rushed, and thorough! The appointment with the surgical scheduler was very accommodating. She was clear about times and dates and all insurance information. Also clear about fees due. The day of surgery was easy! My husband was most impressed with Dr. Sajja. He really liked his demeanor/bedside manner, and the fact that not only did he allow time to ask me questions, he gave my husband time to ask questions! The follow-up visits were all timely. I am very happy with my overall experience and my surgical outcome.”
