Dr. John Jose Alappatt, MD

Dr. John Alappatt is a professional, thorough, and gifted ophthalmologist. He executed surgery on both of my eyes with precision and the outcome was successful. I am blessed that he is my doctor, and I highly recommend him. I wish Dr. Alappatt and his courteous staff all the best. Ms. M. Lee

He is kind thorough and excellent at what he does. His staff is very friendly. I had some serious surgery and he fixed me up excellently. I will and have told all my friends about him.

I usually don't leave reviews but felt compelled to do so after being treated by Dr. Alappatt. I recently found myself, in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic, suffering from a torn retina and was referred to Dr. Alappatt by my Ophthalmologist. After thorough examination, it was determined that I needed to have a surgical procedure in order to repair the retina and restore my sight. Dr. Alappatt "jumped through hoops" to get me scheduled during the height of the Pandemic with all of the restrictions placed on surgeries. My surgery was performed within 2 weeks and he and his staff have been amazing throughout the healing process. I read all of the reviews and can only surmise that the 2 negative comments were left by a disgruntled employee or his/her friends as I doubt seriously if they were actual patients. I highly recommend this physician and his staff as they are the epitome of professionalism and competence.

I am glad to express my appreciation for Dr. John Alappat's careful and professional ERM Pealing procedure he has done on me on May 13, 2020. He made sure through two prior appointments and the tests the condition of my eyes, and through the follow up appointments he gives me confidence that his continued care is there for me for my full recovery. About 16 years ago he had treated me for a retina detachment issue. I appreciate very much his professional efficiency and his personal and caring attention. God bless him and the Houston Retina Associates. Rev. Fr. Chacko Puthumayil

I was referred to Dr. Alappatt, and got an appointment the very next day. The staff was very attentive and professional. Dr. Alappatt explained the surgery that he would be performing. The day of surgery, he spent some time with me before the actual surgery, and his competence was very calming to me. All the follow-up appointments have gone very smoothly, and Dr. Alappatt has very patiently answered all my questions.

Excellent Retina surgeon. For the last nine years Dr. Alappatt cares for my macular degeneration, explains my findings and answers my questions. He and his staff display a welcoming and professional attitude to all.

Have been a patient of Dr. Alappatt's for eleven years, and have always been treated with great respect and professionalism when visiting his office for treatment of a chronic retinal occlusion problem. I can most definitely recommend Houston Retina Associates for high level professional treatment, where you will be treated as a valued and respected patient.

Dr. Alappatt has treated me twice over the last 5 years and on both occasions I found Dr. Alappatt and his staff very competent, professional and personable. Dr. Alappatt discussed my condition in detail, alternative treatments, made his recommendation, but made it clear that he would follow my decision. He was empathetic and very good to work with. His staff were, without exception, very cordial and professional. I never waited more than five minutes in the waiting room. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable of their work and always knew where I was supposed to go next. The staff were also friendly and it was a relaxed atmosphere in the office. I would highly recommend Dr. Alappatt.

I was refereed to Dr. Alappatt by my Optometrist after an examination showing signs of Diabetic Retinopathy. They were able to take me in immediately, within 30 minutes. That was 5 years ago. Through diligent care and treatments all associated issues have been handled. He is straight forward and describes the condition and the alternatives available. The staff is very good and caring. I would recommend Dr. Alappatt to anyone.

DR. Alappatt has done surgery on both of my eyes . I have not had any problems with either eye and consider him to be a very good surgeon and very professional. He wasted no time at all getting me into surgery and getting my eyes fixed to keep me from being blind. I wish I could give him a better review than a 5 star.

My wife and I have been using Dr. Alappatt ever sense he started practice in clear lake. Would not use any other for out eye care. Thank you sir!!

I have seen Dr. Alappatt now for the past 10 years due to having membranes grow on both retinas. He performed surgery on each eye, a very, very precise surgery requiring him to gently detach a single cell membrane from the retina. I really appreciate a physician who has such delicate skills to do this surgery successfully. My vision immediately improved and I am thankful for having been referred to Dr. Alappatt. ML

On 3 occasions over the past 15 years I have had the need for Dr. Alappatt's skills regarding issues with the retina of my left eye. He was originally referred to me by my optometrist and that was the best referral I have ever received. Dr. Alappatt is a true professional and I am forever grateful for his skills. His staff is equally professional and he requires the very best of their performance as well as his own. John R. Nicholson

Four years ago Dr. Alappatt did surgery on my right eye due to a detached retina. I have been extremely satisfied with the results and cannot thank he and his staff for the continued care they have given me.

I wrote the HOPE TO SEE review and did not realize my name would not be posted if I did not write it in the TITLE. I have been a patient of Dr. Alappatt's for three years. This posting is just for information. My rating of the Doctor is in HOPE TO SEE.

Dr. Alappatt is concise and extremely focused. He and his staff stay busy. They are hard working, professional, genuinely friendly, and beyond helpful. I am losing my sight to a disease that has no cure. Dr. Alappatt's bold ventures into promising medicines and procedures is stabilizing and even slowing improving my eyesight. Now I can hope to see you someday and share what strong medicine this Doctor is.
