"It’s hard to explain the magic of suddenly being able to see better than 20/20 vision upon waking up when every morning since you were a kid you had to reach for glasses.

That’s the magic working with Dr. Mahili for Lasik surgery.

I was nervous about getting Lasik initially (lasers in my eyes?!) but heard of the benefits. I totally trusted Dr. Mahili — he never just tried to sell me a procedure, walked me through all angles of it, and only used top of the line equipment.

I’d recommend anyone looking for Lasik to get it here!"

"Got the SMILE procedure 3 weeks ago. Best decision. Lightest on the cornea. This office is the only from Seattle to San Fran with the Official SMILE laser. The other doctors in town took my appointment but only revealed later they didn’t have the technology. Go here !"

"I can’t recommend NELSI enough. I had a weird situation where I would be coming from out of town to get the consultation and surgery and the team was overly helpful ensuring I had everything I needed. Once I got there I had my consultation and felt very at ease that I was working with the best around. I hardly had any questions on my surgery because the converted them before I could ask. The team is professional, kind, warm, and concise! 12/10!"

"Dr. Malihi and Dr. Velanis are super kind and caring. They were very patient in answering all my questions. Dr. Malihi performed SMILE and was very calm and efficient and Dr. Velanis was very detailed and thorough in her eye exam to make sure my prescription was correct. Very great experience with the entire staff!"

"Great quality and transparency. No gimmicks, just excellent laser eye surgery. I’m so happy I went through with the surgery and chose Dr Malihi. I had been on the fence for years and I wish I had done it sooner"

"Very nice Doctor, who was patient, caring, and above all effective. This is the only Clinic in the area which provides the enhanced SMILE procedure (as opposed to LASIK), which is much safer, and allows for a reduced recovery period. Dr. Malihi is to be highly recommended; he has built a magnificent practice, full of lovely, professional people. You won't regret being able to see with your own eyes, literally."

"Dr Malihi and his wonderful staff literally got me in on the day I called for an appointment. The staff was kind, knowledgeable, and confident. I felt like I was in good hands with Dr Malihi - so much so, I scheduled my surgery with him."

"Excellent doctor and staff. They were kind, on time, and didn't rush through the appointment. Dr. Malihi has a great manner and calming presence. I highly recommend!"

"Dr. Malihi is awesome, very professional, compassionate and caring and has the most respect for his patients. He makes everything easy to understand. He was careful to show me the photos of my eyes and what they mean. I really appreciated the time he took to make sure that he provided a thorough exam rather than rushing through a basic exam to get me out the door... and his ability to make the exam enjoyable.  Highly recommended :)"

"My wife and I were referred to DR. Malihi by a friend , If you are looking for a best Ophthalmologist in Portland, this is the place. Extremely warm and welcoming environment. DR. Malihi takes his time with you, explains the issues and treatment so you really understand. The best part, his treatments are done with care highly recommended."

"I had a very pleasant experience at Northwest Eye Laser & Surgery. Dr Malihi was very professional. His office has more advanced equipment that my last eye doctor's office, that seem to streamline the appointment. I will be happy to return to this office for my next check up."

"Good experience! Receptionist was efficient and considerate. Was able to get in on short notice. Dr Malihi was very professional. Started with questions on history and moved on to exam and diagnosis. Very methodical and thorough! Thank you for your time and efforts!"

The doctor and his staff were all very personable, professional, and efficient. They gave me lots of opportunities to ask any questions I had and listened to my comments and concerns. After my first cataract procedure, I’m happy but not surprised that my opinion hasn’t changed. I have received excellent care from him and his staff both at the hospital and in his office. The surgery went extremely well, the after surgery check-up the next morning was really confirming that they care about their patients, to the point that the staff made sure we knew he was running late because the patient he was with was taking him more time than expected. It’s the courtesies like that which are really appreciated.

"I am very pleased with the way that he fully checked and considered all the aspects and especially his excellent explanation and communicating with me, I appreciate him for his his treatment and recommend him to all."

Everything went very smoothly, was explained beforehand and each person I met was very welcoming and friendly. I was in and out within a respectful amount of time and will likely seek their services out in the future should my eyes need it.

"Dr. Malihi was very thorough and took time to answer all my questions. My cataract surgery went well and I am pleased with the results.

Second eye now done and my vision is great. Dr. Malihi has done a wonderful job. He and his office staff are the best."

"They have a wonderful staff
Dr. Malihi is such a wonderful doctor. Explains everything clearly. Just a great experience.
I had my husband make an appointment to see him."

"I visited NELSI for a second opinion and found Dr. Malihi to be very professional, candid, and respectful of his peers. I'd recommend his office to anyone!"
