What Powai Patients Say
"As an IIT researcher, I had read extensively about LASIK before consulting Dr. Modi. His Contoura assessment was the most data-driven I had encountered β he showed me the topography deviation maps and explained exactly why my astigmatism pattern made me an excellent candidate. Post-surgery: 6/6 bilateral, zero halos. The drive from Powai via JVLR to Malad took 38 minutes."
β Dr. Siddharth Kulkarni, Hiranandani Gardens Β· Contoura Vision Surgery"I needed a retinal detachment opinion fast. WhatsApp'd Sentra at 8 pm, got a call within 15 minutes from Dr. Modi. Came next morning, he confirmed the diagnosis and operated the same day. As a Powai resident I was prepared to go to South Mumbai for this kind of urgency β but Sentra was both faster and equally expert. Remarkable."
