"I can't say enough good things about this office. The staff is professional and friendly. The office itself is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. I had the Lasik procedure and couldn't be happier with the results. The staff takes the time to make sure you are informed about pre- and post-procedure care. My procedure was performed by Dr. Sayegh, with pre and post op care provided by Dr. Tran. Both doctors were easy to talk to and addressed any concerns I had. I would recommend this office to anyone looking in to having the Lasik procedure."

"Absolutely amazing experience!!! They truly deserve 10 out of 5 stars! Dr. Sayegh, Robin and the entire staff were so unbelievably calming, passionate, professional and excited (even more than I was!!) to change my life through Lasix. If you don't choose Koch Eye as your choice for Lasix you've made a mistake."

"Initially, I was extremely nervous about undergoing eye surgery to improve my vision. However, all of my fears dissipated after meeting with Dr. Sayegh. His unwavering confidence in the incredible results his team could achieve put me at ease. I am now amazed to be living a life free from glasses and contact lenses, with the clearest vision I have ever known. Dr. Sayegh completely exceeded my expectations and I am now experiencing a whole new world of sight. Frankly, his incredible artistry blew my socks OFF, I can't believe I'm seeing what I've never seen before! No more searching through the sheets for my glass to watch the news, life in HD is magnificent. I am so thankful for Dr. Sayegh's confidence and encouragement, which motivated me to take the leap. It feels like I am seeing everything in a brand new light, and I am truly grateful for this life-changing experience."

"I had my lasik surgery April 2025 and I had the best experience possible. Dr. Sayegh and his team is exceptional. I was very nervous and Dr. Sayegh and his team assured me everything was going to be fine. From my consultation with Rita who is simply the sweetest person to deal with when you are extremely nervous. Once in the procedure there is a tech that literally sits on the side of you just for comfort. I could not have done it without her Jenn is amazing along with everyone else I have had to take care of me at Koch. I was extremely nervous cancelled 2 consultations in the past years I finally went and did and and so glad I did. I can't say enough about Dr. Sayegh and his amazing team at Koch. Everyone has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable for my surgery and it was totally PAINLESS during the surgery and after NO PAIN. Thank you again Dr. Sayegh and your team I can't say enough good things about them!!"

"I recently had my cataracts removed by Dr. Sayegh. He did an excellent job, explained everything that would happen even through the surgery itself. Although I was a bit disappointed that I saw a different person for each testing processed two additional doctors for the follow up visits, everyone was very professional and knowledgeable in their area. Kudos to the follow up docs: Dr. Amy Uddin and Dr. Clyde Haworth for their patience in answering every question I had and then some. Thanks to these folks, I have better than 20/20 vision in each eye!"
