I have complete confidence in Dr. Kaur. She is knowledgeable, professional and explains exactly what is happening and what will happen. Had a surgery to remove a pterygium, and two cataract surgeries. Everything was successful. With my last surgery my eyesight it great. It is so important to trust in your doctor, and I have trust in her.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kaur's for a number of years and the level of care I have received from she and her staff has been excellent. Dr. Kaur is very thorough in both her examinations and procedures and does not rest until she is 100% satisfied with the outcomes. No matter how busy it gets in the office, Dr. Kaur is fully focused on her patient and their needs.

I was very nervous at first. But the nurses and Dr. Kaur were able to comfort me, and reassure me that everything would be okay. I am now excited to have my other eye done. It is so nice to be able to see clearly. Thank you

The cataract surgery on both my eyes was successful. Dr. Kaur is a true professional. She is meticulous and caring. The surgery enhanced my hiking experience and viewing outdoor sports. I would highly recommend Dr. Kaur for cataract surgery.
