Patient Testimonials
Staff was responsive and kind. Dr. Deepan Selvadurai was excellent throughout.
I called to make an Appointment and the receptionist suzette was extremely rude and made me uncomfortable to the point that I didn’t even want to become a new patient here. Consider training on customer service especially when dealing with people that are going through health scares.
I went today to get a second opinion from Dr, A Selvadurai and I was completely satisfied with my entire visit. The staff was friendly and professional. I want to give an A+ to the the "Cat Girl" at the front check in/registration, you do a great job and are pleasant and friendly, thanks.
I came here after having a chalazion cyst in my upper left eyelid for almost a year. No doctor would help me, just bunch of different things that never worked. I came here on a referal that this place was top notch. Dr. Kumar is simply the best. I came on a Monday desperate for answers and help, my eye looked horrible. She was compassionate and understanding. On Tuesday the next day she did minor surgery to remove the chalazion from my eye. Let me just say, I'm a pretty big baby when it comes to surgery or needles. Dr. Kumar took her time and Janice the assistant, litterally held my hand the whole time. It's only day one from surgery, but thank you Buffalo Opthalmology for being the ONLY one to help me!!! From the front desk where they welcome you and are so positive, the techs, to the doctor.
Apparently if you cancel a follow-up and don't reschedule it, they drop you as a patient. I am mind blown.
Dealing with any problems of one's vision can be extremely scary. I have been to two other practices where the doctor's did not feel my anxiety and concerns with my visions future. Then I found Dr. Selvadurai and the staff at BO, who at each visit welcome me and go through a variety of tests which make me feel they are covering every aspect of "change" that is occurring in my vision. Then Dr. Selvadurai spends the time reviewing with you the current tests and walks you through her plan to help you. She assures you as long as you follow her plan you are OK.One time I had a scare with one of my eyes, it was on the day after Thanksgiving. I called the office and Dr. Selvadurai called me right back assuring me it was ok and relaxed me. She understands the importance of what her practice is to the many patients she has but, personally remember each and attends to their needs. The staff completes this by their polite manner and patience with us patients and our many questions.Excellent practice I highly recommend!
The staff that do the preliminary set up is very professional and efficient then the Dr takes over and he was icing on the cake
The staff is very welcoming. The office is fresh an clean. The Dr was very gentle an answered all my questions. Explained everything in detail when going over his findings. Highly recommend this office.
Very efficient check in. Masks required. Aides are friendly and I didn't feel rushed. I have seen Dr. Kumar for a very long time and she has not changed. Honest, direct and professional
I've always had positive visits to this facility starting from my very first appointment. I was having difficulty finding an ophthalmologist in the network of my insurance company. I called this office and after having several conversations with Sue, she gave me an appointment and since I had double coverage we decided they would work it out.This facility got approval for me to go to the Cleveland Clinic to see if the sight in my right eye could be saved, unfortunately it was too late.I lost the sight I my right eye, but I found caring, compassionate people here.Dr S. Pays close attention to my left eye, she friendly, caring all while remaining professional. I recommend this facility to any of my friends in need of eye care.
I just cannot say enough good things about Dr. Deepan Selvadurai and his practice. It is obvious that he cares for his patients! He’s terrific in term of working with glaucoma but what really blew me away is the fact that he actually took the time when he noticed an active skin cancer on my Dad and got us an appointment at Orchard Park Dermatology the next week. Thank you so very much!!! We’ll be with you for the long haul and I tell everyone that will listen! 🙂
Dr. Salvaduri is extremely talented and exceptional. I had a brain tumor that took away most of my vision and came to him after I lost the vision. Very thorough. Top of the line equipment and exceptional knowledge. The support staff is great too.
The Physician is caring and knowledgeable. All staff I have had the pleasure to meet should be rated higher than 5. Similarly Dr. Deepak S. Is outstanding, he demonstrates he cares if I am hurting, in pain or worried. In short he has never refused to treat me when I was in pain. Save yourself GRIEF, pain and anxiety; in short I am Lucky to have found them this practice and their Surgeons LISTEN and respond.
If you need cataract surgery, I’d highly recommend Dr D Selvadurai at Buffalo Ophthalmology. His expertise and bedside manner are reassuring. After having the surgery on both eyes, I am enjoying great vision once again.
Everyone in this group is kind and conscientious Fromthe doctors to the technicians everyone has excellent skills and expertise in their fields I feel blessed to have found such an outstanding practice
Brought my friend in w an acute problem. Was treated very kindly and efficiently. After her last experience w a local dr it was like a slice of heaven!
The staff is very kind and caring and efficient. They make for a very pleasant visit. The Doctor’s are highly trained specialists so you can feel confident you are in great hands. When I was concerned about an eye situation, there was no hesitation in bringing me in to be seen and I had an appointment the same day. I recommend Buffalo Opthalmology.
Best decision we could have made for my mom Mary Tapia seeing the excitement on her face the next day at her follow up when she has 20/20 vision now was a very heart warming moment
This practice is where expertise and compassion intersect. Dr Audra Selvadurai truly cares about her patients and so does her staff. Having a chronic eye condition, I am frequently in contact with them and appreciate their attentiveness and skill.
Dr. Asha Kumar and her right hand, Janis, are amazing. They answer all of my questions without rushing me out the door. I always feel like they truly care about my progress, or lack thereof. They permit my husband to attend the appointments with me for a second pair of ears and answer his questions as well. I would highly recommend Buffalo Ophthalmology. Dr. Selvadurai from this office saw me January 10th and recommended Dr. Kumar. She saw me 3 days latter. I'm in good hands.
Wonderful experience.I am a caregiver for my 91-year-old mother.First off I must say that the staff at this office are some of the nicest people I’ve come to know in a doctors office setting. Friendly, Compassionate and knowledgeable eyecare professionals. How refreshing these stressful days .Clean and safe environment. And easy access for wheelchairs.Scheduling an appointment, I will also add there is little wait time. They see patients within minutes of their appointment. My mom doesn’t like to wait.😊There are more reasons but here are a few for giving them five stars. Rare for me to do.

Glaucoma can be treated, so make sure you get screened
By Staff Jan 27, 2020
Glaucoma is otherwise known as the sneak thief of vision. For the most part, it is a disease that damages the optic nerve of the eye and can rob someone’s peripheral vision slowly and methodically, without pain. This is why it is so important to get regular eye exams done by either an optometrist or an ophthalmologist.
