The constant construction at Children's makes getting to appts challenging. The current location of the eye clinic seems to be in a forgotten corner of the building.

I loved the service because there was an interpreter to translate for me in Spanish.

Dr Khammar is an amazing doctor and a great human being. Takes great care in children and answers all the small, big, silly questions patiently. We are extremely pleased to have him as our child's doctor.

Dr. Khammar is an excellent doctor. He was very patient and he explained everything through the process. And he also made my son and me very comfortable during every visit. We have been seeing him for six years and I would recommend anyone I know, any kid I know to get treatment from Dr. Khammar. Thank you.

Dr Khammar is a caring and compassionate doctor. He truly listens and worked with me to find the right care plan for both of my children, who have now been under his care. Truly and excellent provider and I withdraw recommend him without reservation!

I wish there was more explanation around the eye dilation and timing so we could prepare appropriately.

My son is Autistic. On the day of his appointment he was quite anxious and would not let staff near him for the most part. Everyone on the team was above and beyond accommodating and so kind- it brought me to tears. They sat on the floor with him, played with him to build trust and reassure him he was safe. At the end of the appointment not much eye exam happened- but we all agreed that it was more important that my son felt safe at a place he will routinely need to visit. THANK YOU.
