    “Extremely pleased with results of surgery--and very impressed with Dr. Richani's professionalism.”

    Dr. Richani possesses an outgoing personality. Her explanation of the three choices I had to correct my tsosis problem led me to choose surgery. The surgery was painless and successful and I'm now able to read without having to hold open my left eye. I would recommend your practice, and Dr. Richani, in particular.

    “Excellent Care”

    I drove from Louisiana to see Dr. Richani. The office was warm and inviting. I was seen exactly at my appointment time. The staff did a quick intake then she came in. After expressing my nervousness, she took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure. Dr. Richani was understanding and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

    “Great Experience”

    Dr Richani is a consummate professional who not only listens but makes suggestions on what she feels is in my best interest. She did the reconstruction on my lower eyelid due to cancer, and you can’t tell anything happened it looks so good! Dr Richani is very personable, friendly and easy to talk to. I’ve recommended her to a number of people.
