Dr. Niraj Patel, MD
3602 S 19th St,
Tacoma, WA

Dr Patel is the only optometrist you need to go to. Period. Dr Patel and his staff are the most qualified, educated and fabulous people. Don't trust your eyes to anyone else. Seriously! I went to him based on others' reviews as a last ditch effort in hopes he could help me see well since my prescription had gotten to a -18 and with brand new contacts I was still not seeing even close to 20/20. I've had poor vision my whole life and always feared going blind. I thought it was finally happening and was desperate that maybe he could help. After only a couple of minutes with him and his team they found what multiple eye doctors had missed for years (including one that evaluated my eyes ONE month earlier). I had advanced cataracts. This is extremely rare for someone my age (35) but it still shouldn't have been missed. I went years with terrible vision and it negatively impacted m life purely because of others' incompetency. After a couple of procedures I am now seeing 20/15 and couldn't be happier as I never thought I'd see this well. If you want to know you're getting the best care possible - look no further. I'll never trust another doctor with my eyes. You'll also be amazed with the incredible people on his staff. They are the kindest and most thoughtful people.

Dr. Niraj Patel is the BEST!! I went into his office almost blind, after many many years of glasses and contact lenses that NEVER worked! With two very different prescriptions in each eye....and wanting Lasiks surgery. He educated me, and he did multi-focal lense replacement, and now I see 20/20!! I would recommend him a million times!!

Caring. Devoted. Hard working. Great experience and highly recommend Dr. Patel and his team.
