Messages from the parents of children who had their congenital glaucoma operated by Dr Ahmad Khalil

Dear Dr. Ahmed Khalil, We would like to express our genuine gratitude for your dedication to our daughter's case. We thought we'd share our experience here if you don't mind. Our daughter, Zeina was diagnosed with children glaucoma (Primary Congenital Glaucoma). We did lots of research and Dr. Ahmed was the most recommended to us. He was honest, direct and really helpful explaining the case as extensively as possible. After the successful operation on the first eye, the second was successfully done too. In regards to our worries and concerns, Dr. Ahmed was very understanding and really helped us through them in a very patient and approachable manner. We even sent him weekly photos to review her eye progress, he was very welcoming and keen on following up on her case. We now consider him as part of our family for all the good he's done for us. We do highly recommend him. Regards
