John J Khadem's Online Review Report Card

I have been seeing Dr Khadem for nearly 10 years. He is absolutely amazing – the consummate doctor with an extraordinary level of competence, knowledge, and compassion. I trust him completely to care for my condition. He takes time to explain everything thoroughly. He is accessible, responsive and genuinely concerned for my well-being. His staff is outstanding. They are professional, attentive and empathetic. They manage comprehensive exams with state-of-the-art equipment.

Ridiculous wait time. Excessive. Office should be better managed to respect people's time.

I only saw Dr. Khadem one time because it turned out I did not have a detached retina, but not only was I inpressed by Dr. Khadem's knowledge and thoroughness of his examination but also by his kind and gentle manner. For selfish reasons I wish he had trained for internal medicine so he could be my regular doctor 😊

My experience with Dr. Khadem was terrible, and it didn't need to be if he had better bedside manners and time management skills. The laser procedure he conducted on me was awful because it was unnecessarily painful, and I waited nearly two hours for him to conduct it (this was after it had been rescheduled because his staff didn't tell me it would be at this location, and I ended on at his 13th st location)! It was painful because my eye wasn't numbed with enough drops, so it/I NATURALLy pushed out whatever he tried to put in my eye without warning (some circular thing that helped keep it open, but he never explained that). Think twice about getting your laser procedures done here, especially since the little sign at the reception desk says he has financial/stakeholder interest in the location. Had I known and seen this before the procedure, I would have gone elsewhere. Please look at reviews on other sites.

My experience with Dr. Khadem was terrible, and it didn't need to be if he had better bedside manners and time management skills. The laser procedure he conducted on me was fucking awful because it was unnecessarily painful, and I waited nearly two hours for him to conduct it (this was after it had been rescheduled because his staff didn't tell me it would be at this location, and I ended on at his 13th st location)!

Think twice about getting your laser procedures done here, especially since the little sign at the reception desk says he has financial/stakeholder interest in the location. Had I known and seen this before the procedure, I would have gone elsewhere. What also made the experience awful was that he didn't explain shit about what was going to happen during the laser procedure and only told me to put my forehead and chin on the slit lamp eye equipment and to grip the table the equipment was on. I thought I was sitting down to look into the same equipment that optometrists or specialists use to direct light into the eye but instead, without warning, he starts the laser, and it fucking hurts, and I'm caught off guard. I tell him it hurts, and he says nothing. I keep telling him it hurts, and he says you're almost done. Then I get a migraine, and my blood pressure shoots up because it's all unexpected and almost feels violating. I'm then made to feel like the exception and not the rule. Terrible experience. I asked for a follow-up appointment a few days after the procedure because my vision was still blurry, and I was concerned since he had said it would clear up in a few days. After waiting nearly 3 hours to see him, I explained this to him, and he tried to gaslight me by saying he never said three days, and I told him he did. So, then he proceeded to make a low-key sexist comment about my eye taking longer to heal, stating women take longer than men to heal (not sure if that's true). I left without booking another follow-up because it became clear that he tended to overbook (there were 20+ patients at the same time as me). I'm not the only one who's experienced his rude, racist, or sexist comments. Please look at reviews on other sites like Yelp, Healthgrades, and some on Google.

Dr Khadem saved my failing eyesight. He performed multiple surgeries very effectively. I feel very confident in his abilities. The routine visits are long but thorough. Worth the time commitment, IMO. I've been "seeing" him now since 2009.

At the beginning, it was great. Long wait, but we were told he was worth waiting for. Even gave a great review. Hind sight is 20/20.

He and his team are amazing! They work like a finely tuned machine. I was first seen on a Wednesday; surgery on Friday; follow up Saturday, the next day and another follow up the following Saturday. Very compassionate too. As I walked out of his initial exam, barely able to see, he said to me,”we are going to get your sight back. This is a good thing, this surgery.” I felt really taken care of. After this experience, no one should worry about eye surgery. The experience was that amazing and pain free!!

3-4 hour wait time for a 5 minute appointment each timeI went. Also, Dr Khadem made inappropriate and unprofessional comments to me about my appearance in both my visits. I felt uncomfortable and harassed. I will never come back here and do not recommend.
