On my first visit the entire staff made me feel welcomed and relaxed. My initial examination by Dr. Sinha was efficient and professional, conveying confidence in her abilities and leaving no doubt that I would be well cared for before, during, and after the procedure. Over the course of my treatment, encompassing three months and multiple visits, she and her staff made every effort to ensure my experience went smoothly and was worry free.

Both my surgeries were conducted at the Bolduc Family Outpatient Center at Howard General Hospital where Dr. Sinha is affiliated. Its support staff and medical personnel were every bit as professional as Dr. Sinha and they seamlessly integrated with her to produce the best possible outcome I could have wished for: restored clarity of vision in both eyes.

As a result of my successful experience with Dr. Sinha and her staff, I would heartily recommend the services of Glaucoma Plus Eye Care to anyone in need of cataract surgery or treatment of other ocular ailments for which medical expertise is required.
