Dr. Rao’s LASIK (35, Doctor at KEM Hospital)

“As a fellow doctor at KEM, I researched extensively before choosing an eye surgeon for my LASIK. Dr. Gala’s dual Royal College certifications and LV Prasad training made him the obvious choice. My SMILE surgery was flawless – 20/20 vision from day one. I now recommend him to my patients.”

Mrs. Jadhav’s Cataract Surgery (68, Lalbaug)

“I’ve lived in Lalbaug all my life. When my cataract developed, my son found Dr. Gala online. The multifocal IOL surgery was quick and painless. I can now see Ganpati processions clearly from my window and read my prayer books without glasses.”
