My first visit to SightMD was wonderful. After that, everything was downhill! I saw Dr. Amallah. I had to get cataract surgery because I had the beginning of a cataract and it was making too much pressure in my eye. He gave me one of two options, one to laser it, and then I would most likely see a white light for the rest of my life the second, to laser the cataract which I chose to do because it would solve both of the problems. I have a prosthesis in my other eye, so it was very important to me and very concerning to have my eye that I have vision in taken care of correctly. Almost 4 months after the surgery, my vision is still terrible. I see blurry up close and up to 2 feet away . I vent to the office to explain my problems. Dr. Amallah was quite taken back. I was very upset and I got emotional. With that he said to me “yes I know you have one eye.” I said my vision was fine before this. He responded with. “Oh yeah I do 4500 surgeries a month just for the hell of it.” The rest of the visit he would not look me in the face. In my opinion, he is a coward. More so my opinion is that he is not a good surgeon or whatever he is categorized as. He should really stick to his dancing. If his surgery was as smooth as his walk into the patient room it would be wonderful. My advice to anybody looking for eye surgery…do not go to this doctor!! He’s arrogant and very rude. As I sit here typing this review, hardly being able to see, I regret ever going here. Karma will take care of things.

Not impressed. Had a 10:40 appointment for an eye exam. The tech was sarcastic and rude when I asked a question. I waited so long to see the Dr. Waiting area was over crowded. I finally left at 12:20 so i was there nearly 2 hours. I wasnt even dilated. The Dr herself was ok, but seemed unsure and nervous. They said my insurance doesnt cover the refraction, so I had to pay my regular copay plus $49 for the refraction. My insurance told me that they DO cover that, so im going to have to request a reimbursement. seemed unprofessional uncoordinated and inefficient.
I am a patient of SightMD, Dr. Tulipani. When my brother moved here, I brought him to see my doctor. Almost everything about this office is top notch. It is clean, organized, through, professional and caring. As for the “almost everything”, I filled out all of my brothers information online, as requested, prior to his appointment. It was a very inclusive form and it took me quite some time to complete. I was happy to do it on my own time. When we arrived, the receptionist asked me for the same information I had already completed as well as handing me a 4-page form to complete. I told her I already did it online and she replied “I know, but none of it comes through to our portal”. What’s the point?? But, all in all, I highly recommend Dr Tulipani and his staff.
Best eye exam experience I've ever had and I've had alot. The staff was friendly and organized. The testing was the most extensive I've ever had. Dr. Ahmallah explained the results of the tests thoroughly. He took the time to explain and answer all my questions. I would recommend Dr. Ahallah highly.
Great place! The front desk staff are warm and friendly. Dr. Chris D and his assistants are very professional and friendly as well. The doctor explains everything very thoroughly and takes his time during the visit. I am very pleased with my experience here.
