Ratings

  • Aug 31, 2026

    Pleasant experience.

  • Aug 25, 2026

    Dr explain all procedures to me so I can understand.

  • Aug 20, 2026

    Afternoon appointments often result in 2 hour delays. It seems to me that the Doctors and staff are over booked.

  • Aug 16, 2026

    Dr. Rishi is excellent at listening and explaining my condition and treatment plan

  • Aug 13, 2026

    The doctor gave me exciting news of upcoming treatments.

  • Jun 24, 2026

    Dr. Rishi was exceptional and performed a thorough examination of my eyes while providing information regarding his findings and possible treatment options. I called his scheduler, Ali, on Tuesday, the day after my initial visit, and she returned my call and scheduled the fluorescein examination that I had today.

  • Jun 18, 2026

    I couldn't know anything about my child because the Doctor didn't have the interpreter I asked for and I don't know English that way I can't recommend anyone

  • Jun 04, 2026

    Dr. Rishi is very kind and courteous and knowledgeable and if I hadn't so badly wanted to see him, I would not have tolerated such a long wait time. I'm glad I did, but I hope that this is something that the clinic will pay attention to. Telling people that normal wait time is 2 to 4 hours is not acceptable. They don't tell you that upfront, though, it's not until you complain and then they will explain that that's normal.

  • May 14, 2026

    I will be seeking a different provider as the lack of respect of other peoples time is unacceptable and we are supposed to just wait until he graces us with his almighty presence. Poor excuse and a poor representative of Nebraska Med I had come to expect better from the system as a whole. Now not so much

  • May 02, 2026

    The staff is very knowledgeable

  • Apr 29, 2026

    Just seems like a lot of waiting for little amount of time with provider and or testing

  • Apr 24, 2026

    Always excellent care!

  • Apr 24, 2026

    The nurses who did the scans and testing were compassionate and very nice. They could have perhaps kept us informed about the delays. Dr. Rishi was a very concerned and friendly. He did a good job of explaining next steps; however, after waiting in the office for at least 4 1/2 hours, we were tired and overwhelmed by the amount of information. Written notes would have been nice to summarize the visit.

  • Mar 29, 2026

    Dr Rishi is so kind and patient. Explains everything clearly. Does not rush.

  • Mar 25, 2026

    Dr Rishi is a great doctor.

  • Mar 18, 2026

    Lots of kindness

  • Mar 15, 2026

    Dr. Rishi was so kind! I was so glad he had knowledge of my rare eye disease and of its new treatment. He answered my questions clearly and asked me questions not just about my symptoms but about how I felt about my diagnosis. I was very impressed with him! The opthamologist who originally diagnosed me (at another facility) handed me a printout from the internet and that was the end of it. Dr. Rishi made sure I did not have that same experience.

  • Mar 12, 2026

    Good.

  • Feb 24, 2026

    Dr Rishi is a perfect combination of a top tier physician that communicates in a way that's very easy to understand. It's just amazing to me to have that ability. I left my appointment feeling very satisfied that Dr Rishi understood my condition and provided me with information on the tests that were taken along with a plan for any changes.

  • Feb 24, 2026

    Super impressed with Dr. Rishi

  • Feb 22, 2026

    I had a really bad experience at Omaha eye institute and coming here was absolutely the best from start to finish. Everyone made me feel important

  • Feb 18, 2026

    Very much like Pukhraj P. Rishi! I have grown to trust him taking care of my eyes. So happy to have him as my primary eye doctor.

  • Nov 14, 2025

    I always feel like they use terms I am not familiar with but Dr Rishi does try to explain to me

  • Nov 13, 2025

    I went to have a consultation re: multiple floaters in one eye. I was going to consider the vitro surgery. Dr did not seem too concerned about it. He alluded to when it was interrupting my life maybe then I should consider surgery.

  • Nov 06, 2025

    I would recommend Dr. Rishi, he has been seeing my sister for several years now for this eye issue. He was the one who finally performed the laser treatment on my sister.

  • Sep 24, 2025

    Absolutely wonderful!

  • Aug 31, 2025

    I feel like the people I saw during my visit really cared about doing their jobs as professionally as possible without sacrificing the personal touch that helps a patient relax and understand what is happening.

  • Aug 18, 2025

    Dr. Rishi is wonderful. He is calm, explains everything, is not hurried and cares

  • Aug 10, 2025

    Dr. Rishi was a pillar of excellence from start to finish. Informative, collaborative, instructive, and good humored throughout the day. Would not hesitate to refer patients to his care. His reportoire with the Anesthesia and Nursing Staff was A plus!

  • Aug 06, 2025

    EXCELLENT

  • Aug 05, 2025

    Thanks to Dr. Rishi for saving my vision. I trust every decision he makes and am so grateful for him and his team!

  • Aug 01, 2025

    All providers gave explicit explanations of procedure. Explained benefits and risks. Responded to all my questions with respect. Gave detailed step by step description of procedure. Provided detailed aftercare instructions.

  • Jul 31, 2025

    Fair

  • Jul 13, 2025

    I don't generally recommend doctors to others, but if I were asked for my opinion, I would gladly tell them they were great.

  • Jul 01, 2025

    I feel fortunate to have Dr. Rishi. I was with another Doctor before, and my lymphoma continually needed more treatments. Dr. Rishi saved my eyesight, and I am grateful he continues to monitor my vision in my remaining eye that I lost when I was a teenager.

  • Jun 29, 2025

    I didn't hear him say much about my eyes. He talked more about getting with the low vision clinic.

  • Jun 28, 2025

    The fellow informed me about everything

  • Jun 27, 2025

    Rishi, Pukhraj P was excellent.

  • Apr 19, 2025

    The staff seemed very knowledgeable.

  • Apr 06, 2025

    Dr. Rishi has a very good bedside manner, explained the procedure in layman terms so easy to understand. Also what to expect with healing time off from work.

  • Apr 01, 2025

    The care provider answered all of my concerns 100%. Definitely will recommend as always.

  • Mar 30, 2025

    Dr. Rishi is great and very knowledgeable. I completely trust him and value his discussions with me.

  • Mar 28, 2025

    Wait times were too long! Apparently, there is no real solution to my eye problem, which is disappointing.

  • Mar 10, 2025

    The doctor is very kind. The amount of time sitting and waiting is really long. Seemed excessive.

  • Feb 23, 2025

    This clinic is THAT good.

  • Feb 12, 2025

    So kind and they make me feel well cared for.

  • Feb 07, 2025

    Great

  • Feb 07, 2025

    Dr. Rishi is the most engaged physician I've seen. He takes the time to make sure you understand and are comfortable with decisions regarding your health. He truly listens and responds -never rushes thru an appointment. He has earned my confidence, trust, and most importantly my respect.

  • Jan 27, 2025

    I'm hard of hearing. After I explained that he spoke up and looked directly at me. Little bit of a struggle to understand everything

  • Jan 26, 2025

    He is very good at explaining things and answering questions Very interested and caring about his patients.

  • Jan 24, 2025

    This was for a second opinion and provider said original provider was doing what the Med Center would do. However, we were not provided any information about the illness/issue itself, nor any information about treatment options. We had not gotten any of this information from the original provider and we're hoping that we would Have a more educational experience at the med center.

  • Jan 19, 2025

    Dr. Rishi confirmed that the resident had done several laser treatments before he sent me with the resident.

  • Jan 09, 2025

    Everyone was terrific thank you.

  • Jan 05, 2025

    Dr Rishi went above and beyond thinking about my care and my family too. Excellent job!

  • Dec 22, 2024

    Too long of a wait time.

  • Dec 12, 2024

    It was very clear that Dr. Rishi did not look at my chart or records before seeing me. We took scans this day, and when he came into the room, his response was that his team "saw something in the scans"... Which was already diagnosed 3 years ago and I have been getting treatment elsewhere. It was not some newly discovered thing. I understand that his assessment was based off of what he saw, but his initial conclusion was that I needed treatment again. I think he needed to actually see/examine more of my medical history, past images, etc. Before jumping to that conclusion. That is where I have been left... With no plan of action or any sort of follow-up. It was been a complete nightmare dealing with this facility and getting the medical records sent to different places so that I can finally figure out what my next steps are, and if I do actually need treatment again.

  • Nov 14, 2024

    I have recommended Dr Rishi to several people. I think Dr Lee is excellent also. Both are kind, thoughtful, gentle and empathetic.

  • Nov 01, 2024

    Dr. Kim and Dr. Rishi were very professional and friendly and informative.

  • Nov 01, 2024

    Dr Kim was extremely nice and provided thorough explanations. He used a different technique performing my eye injection and the outcome was 100% better than the first injection I recieved.

  • Oct 30, 2024

    This was the first time I met my physician. He was very professional and empathetic. I gained full confidence in my provider very quickly.

  • Oct 27, 2024

    Just very long appt was in exam room I hour no one checked on me and no apology for delay

  • Oct 08, 2024

    I have been telling many people of my visits to the Truhlsen Eye Institute and of the care I had and continue to receive.

  • Oct 04, 2024

    I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rishi If only the wait time to see him would be less.

  • Oct 04, 2024

    Never a bad experience. Thank you!
