I had PRK and crosslinking in both eyes. Before laser vision correction, I couldn't operate without my eye glasses. Contacts were not an option anymore because of my dry eyes. When I came to Sarnia Eye, Esthetics and Lasik Clinic, Dr. Patodia was very clear in explaining the difference between PRK and Lasik. He described the advantages and disadvantages for me specifically and we decided on PRK. Having the surgery done locally was so convenient not only for the day of, but for the follow-up appointments after. Dr. Patodio checked my eyes every day after the surgery for 4 days in a row - he even opened the door for me on Sunday even though the Clinic is closed. He was flexible and agreed to check my eyes after the Sunday worship service. During the procedure I was given a stress ball to squeeze. Dr. Patodia and his two assistants were very encouraging by providing helpful countdowns during the laser work. Because of my dry eyes, the doctor placed complimentary temporary plugs in my ducts a week after surgery to help maintain lubricated eyes which was necessary for healing. Everyone is becoming a familiar face now with all my follow-up appointments. After surgery, the convenience of not having to wear glasses was noticed right away when I was able to slip my sunglasses on without having eye glasses underneath! I can see in the shower, I can see when I wake up, and the rain on my glasses doesn't bother me anymore. What a treat! I would recommend Dr. Patodia and Sarnia Eye, Esthetics and Lasik Clinic to anyone!" read more

Dr Patodia was very uninterested in my eye care...wouldn't answer any questions I asked...just ran in and ran out..I switched to very caring older doctor. Would Not Recommend. read more

I personally dealt with this so called institute and was less that satisfied. All they wanted was money after money and test after test that had already been done by my optometrist. I finally walked out. Last fall a friend went to see Patodia. He was told that he needed a series of injections in his eyes. They let him walk out after the injections the first time and he was pretty well blind for a few hours. He couldn't see and walked out into traffic on London road and almost got smoked by a car. He has someone call me and I went and picked him up. I took him to a specialist in London and the specialist was pretty ticked. Only one injection was required. That specialist said that whoever the specialist in Sarnia was was apparently only in it for the money. He couldn't believe that a doctor would do that to anyone. The specialist in London looked after my friends problem in one office visit and 2 follow ups. I wouldn't trust Patodia or his staff at Patodia's clinic under any circumstances. If you need a specialist that won't jerk you around your best bet is Dr Ibrahim. He's the real specialist in Sarnia. He's not a con man like Patodia and his staff. read more

You really need to watch this guy hes a little greasy.. When he makes mistakes he will not fix them. I mentioned issues with my cataract surgery and he will not acknowledge any issues. So now I need to go somewhere else... My lawyer will be getting ahold of him read more

This office is a dump and the office staff is abused by Dr Patodia's wife. I have been to see Dr Patodia (very kind man) and have enjoyed his services, however felt extremely uncomfortable in the waiting room listening to his wife yell at the poor quivering desk staff. One day, I asked for a kleenex as I waited for my son to pick me up and Mrs Patodia snapped at me and told me to consider bringing my own next time. I would never recommend this business simply because of the discomfort Mrs Patodia made me feel. read more

"My sight was getting to the point that my driver's license was in jeopardy. This is when my optometrist referred me to Dr. Patodia. My experience right from the very beginning was the best I could have. At the start of my series of appointments I wore glasses to correct my vision. The initial assessment was excellent. At this point Dr. Patodia noticed a few things that needed to be done including a wrinkle in my retina and cataract surgery. Dr. Patodia was very open and discussed it at length the procedure and what would need to be done to correct my vision. I felt very comfortable and every one of my questions were answered at a marvelous degree. Dr. Patodia made arrangements to London to have the wrinkle in my retina fixed. When I came for my follow up appointment it was discovered that I had a slight bleed from the diabetes. The doctor did a series of lasers to get rid of the bleeding. All of my treatments have been successful and I have never had to go back to have them repeated. Next I had cataract surgery. When I came for that follow-up appointment it was found that I had fluid in my retina and need injections. When I came in for my follow-up appointment just recently the doctor did a fluorescein angiography and was very satisfied that all of my ocular issues have my corrected. The thing that stands out to me the most from the whole process is that regardless of how busy the Doctor and is and the high demand of his staff he never gave me the impression that he was rushed. He takes the time with his patients. Doctor Patodia never breaks off the conversation he waits until the patient is done asking all of their questions. The people of Sarnia Lambton are very fortunate to have him. If I were to rate Doctor Patodia I would say he is at or over the top. I have gone from corrective glasses to just passing my driver's testing 20/20 with no glasses. I don't know how much better it can get! I am so fortunate to be Doctor Patodia's patient!" read more
