    I recently underwent my second cataract surgery with Dr. Bhatti and team within a 3 month timeframe. Both surgeries went smoothly. I selected extended depth of focus lenses (toric) and am very pleased with the results. It has been decades since I have been able to go about my daily activities without glasses. I appreciate Dr. Bhatti's skillful work - I recommend Dr. Bhatti and team. Thank you!

      I was referred to DR. Bhatti for cataract surgery. His staff were friendly and professional and answered all my questions. After the removal and lens insertion in my right eye, I no longer needed glasses to drive. When I went in for the second cataract removal, he asked if I had any questions or concerns from the first surgery. I was delighted and stated that I only wished I would not have to use glasses for reading. He informed me there was a new lens he could insert so I could read and eliminate glasses. I am 81 years old, and after the second surgery, I now have the eyes of a teenager. Thank you, Dr. Bhatti!

        It is the best center in Ottawa for eye surgeries. The staff is very friendly, and the doctors are highly professional. They go out their way to ensure you receive prompt care. Dr. Bahtti is a highly skilled professional with an incredible depth of knowledge in ophthalmology. The procedure was explained to me in detail, and Dr. Bahtti took the time to address all of my concerns and answer any questions I had. The surgery itself went smoothly, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome.
