I am Nilesh "Niel" Papaiya, OD. As an optometrist, my aim is to ensure optimal eye health for my patients while providing them with the best possible vision. My approach is to use a combination of modern treatments and traditional techniques to achieve this goal.

I take pride in providing recommendations for new treatments while preserving the tried-and-tested methods of the past. Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with my family, engaging in various activities such as traveling, attending events, and trying out new restaurants.

To unwind, I appreciate a good comedy movie or a collaborative musical piece. As a professional, I always strive to maintain an attitude of gratitude, appreciation, and thankfulness for my patients. As the saying goes, "everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about, be kind, big secret: we are here to help each other." Thank you for considering me as your optometrist.

"To me, it wasn't enough just being able to grind glasses properly as an optician; I also wanted to improve people's lives. So I switched careers and became an optometrist. With my extensive optometry education and over two decades of experience, I can help you have good vision that will last a lifetime."
