Apr 17, 2024
Professional, skilled surgeon. Explains everything. Answers all of my questions without hesitation. I call him my son. He’s family to me. I was legally blind in one eye for 2 years. I had a severely detached retina. Now I can see great again with clear 20-25 vision and with my eye continuing to heal and still getting better 6 months after surgery. Dr. Ammar is amazing. He’s the best.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
