Dr.FANOUS Is an excellent eye Dr. They do not come any better. He always greet you with a smile and wants to know how you are doing. Always ready to listen. Always explains the results of the tests. He really cares about each and every patient. My eye surgery was successful too. I feel he has a GODLY attitude about everything. His staff is friendly also and ready to help you with anything you need. They too greet you with a smile
And also so willing to help you in any way they can. Dr. FANOUS and his staff go those extra miles for each of us. If you are looking for an excellent EYE DR
Or Eye Sugeon you need not look any further. He is the best and very knowledgeable in his field. Always truthful and does his best to make sure your eyes are the best they can be.

I thank y’all so much for comforting me and assuring me of your honesty, And your perfection of getting the job done. I can’t wait to return for a follow up and hopefully I’ll be able to see you one day! I thank you again so much for being my doctor and helping me at a much needed time. I haven’t been able to see since my surgery December 12, 2022. My anxiety level, my mental and emotional state has been horrible. After having two surgeries on the same eye, and then wanting to go for a third one, I am really done. You definitely strengthens my faith in doctors once again!

I like the service that's provided.This time exceeded past visits.The service itself has never been an issue it was the wait time.It would take far too long to be in and oùt.
Even so I continued going with hopes of maybe it'll change.I don't know time frame but I felt it was shorter.Thanks to the nurse who came up with patients being given an opportunity to have a snack while waiting. Every hour on the day I was there was a young man came out with goodies in a basket form for you to choose from hourly.It's entirely up to you.

Our first visit with Dr. Fanous was excellent. Olivia was an excellent assistant that did our preliminary workup and set the tone of quality care and concern. Dr. Fanous was thorough in his exam questions and testing. His demeanour was unrushed and caring.
There is a difference when you are just one of many patients but that you feel you are the one patient and are being given the best care as that one. We are grateful to work with Dr. Fanous and his caring staff.
