We are beyond grateful to have found Dr. David Pinhas. After more than two years of confusion, financial stress, and worsening eye pain, my mother was finally given the care and clarity she deserved under his guidance.

From our very first consultation, Dr. Pinhas took the time to carefully examine my mother’s eye, explain her true diagnosis, and lay out an evidence-based treatment plan. He was strongly against the iris implant that a prior physician had suggested, immediately recognizing that her condition could be safely and effectively repaired with a far less complex outpatient procedure. He showed us photos of similar successful surgeries he had performed, walked us through every step of the process, and answered all of our questions with honesty and patience.

The surgery itself was quick, smooth, and life-changing. For the first time in over two years my mother’s debilitating symptoms — sensitivity to light, tearing, and headaches — are gone. Her recovery was swift, and she finally has her quality of life back.

What stood out most was Dr. Pinhas’ integrity. He never pushed unnecessary procedures, there were no hidden fees, and everything was presented with complete transparency. His professionalism, compassion, and surgical expertise are unmatched, and it is clear he cares deeply for his patients.

Finding Dr. Pinhas was a blessing. My only regret is not having come to him first. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone seeking an ophthalmologist who is not only skilled, but also honest, ethical, and dedicated to doing what is best for the patient.

Dr. Pinhas is fine. But he has very nasty staff. Always making snarky comments, giving earlier appointments to their preferred patients. They are typically very rude and condescending. I wish I could see him without having to see his nasty staff. He needs to hire people who aren’t so bitter and angry.
