About Ketan Bakriwala, OD

My patient care philosophy is understanding what a patient's health needs are in order to succeed outside of my office. Whether it is a pair of glasses to read the newspaper or a referral to a specialist to prevent underlying conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma, I understand that a routine eye exam can be anything other than routine. Often times, what a patient needs the most is a compassionate doctor who will listen to their concerns and set them on a path to success. Outside of the office, I enjoy traveling and sailing along our beautiful southern California coast. I also am an advocate for the Be The Match Foundation, with whom I had the honor of being an anonymous bone marrow donor in 2020.

After the nurse did,the testing I saw the doctor and he did my examination of my eyes and thankfully, for me it turned out to be something on my eyelid which he gave me ointment for and dry eyes, and he gave me the list of drops to buy. He was very informative very helpful and very kind and yes, I'm going back to see him in a month to follow up and make sure the infection on my eyelid by my eyelashes is gone. I will come back to him anytime . You have to shut her hand that's OK you can leave it open. Yeah it's all good. What are we cooking brownies or something for me for Easter Oreo cookies and Shelby bought me a box of my favorite candy.

I live in Chula Vista but have followed Dr. BAKRIWALA to Santee because of the care I receive from him. Always willing to answer my questions and does a thorough exam. I have talked to family and friends about their exams with other providers and have found that SHARP goes above and beyond.

Dr Bakriwala was great! Listened, gave advice and informed me of the results of my exam. Don't lose him - one of the best eye exams I've had at SRS.
