I've only had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lena Dixit once during my mom's follow-up appointment after cataract removal and lens implant on her second eye. She entered the room with so much energy and a smile a mile wide. Her positive presence was infectious and a welcomed balance to the sterilized nature of clinical settings. Prior to the procedures, she spent time with my mom and explained everything about cataracts, the procedures, and options with care. She answered any questions my mom had following the surgeries with compassion. As an immigrant, my mom felt like she needed as much information as she could before making a decision. Growing up as the de facto translator for my parents, I've come to recognize frustration and impatience in others when they are speaking with my parents very quickly. It hurts me and over time, I started to step in more and more, sometimes preemptively. When my mom started to refer to me to explain something because "my English is better", Dr. Lena Dixit immediately interjected and said "your English is great! I can understand you perfectly!!" All with smiles, laughter, and a tender embrace. Encouraging her to talk when so many others have made her afraid to do so. You have no idea how much this means to me, my family, and other families like us. I didn't need anything to correct my vision but I left her office seeing the world more clearly as well. Thank you for caring, Lena!

Dr. Dixit is very professional and very good with people. I would give her 5 stars. Her husband, Dr. Fischer is the exact opposite. He may be a very good Dr. but not a people person. He arrived an hour late with no apology or explanation. Never used my name. He looked at computer and said he did not need to see me anymore. I had continuing issues but he left the room.

Dr. Patel and his staff took wonderful care of me. His staff at the Oakwood Surgical Cenrer were top notch. I'd recommend him to anyone needing eye surgery.
