With the recent fires in the area, my eyes were irritated. No optometrist would able to see me for a same day appointment. The receptionist was very accommodating, caring & friendly. Dr Strum is very thoughtful & an exceptional doctor. The entire staff is very professional & nice. Many thanks!!!

I wish I had come here first instead as a second opinion after Eye Q caused permanent damage. Dr. Sakauye is the most thorough doctor I have ever visited. She leaves no stone unturned. She diagnosed in one visit what Eye Q never could no matter how many visits.

Every experience with a doctor or clerical person has been great. But they seem completely understaffed in Suite 201. You can never get a person on the phone directly to order contacts. They take forever to answer the phone. When you walk in nobody addresses you, you just sign in. For such a large office they need more people working behind the desk.

I think they are racist at this clinic. My appointment was at 3:25. I arrived 30 min early. And all three people that get there after me get seen first. And guess what they were white.

I wanted again to send an "atta-boy" and "atta-gal" to the staff at the eye institute. I want to thank Justin for getting me that earlier appointment with Dr Mendoza and Dr Mckinney today. I just left about three hours ago and the eye dilation is wearing off. As a RN CS FNP we truly make the worst patients, but you guys are super. I want to thank the front office staff and back office staff for tolerating my sense of humor that goes back to my college fraternity days. Keep up the great work and Dr Bertaluci your vitrectomy post my kenpo karate injury and you took great care

Been a patient here for over 10 years. The front office staff are always quick to check you in and are nice. The best appointment times are first thing in the morning. The best part is They do Saturday appointments as well, which works out great if you can't get the time off of work. They have a small optical department to purchase glasses and the wait time to be helped can be long. I usually don't purchase glasses here unless I find something I really love yes I can be picky. Lol. I have purchased glasses here and the great thing is when you have problems or issues you can take them

Tried calling to make an appointment and was greeted very poorly. Whoever the receptionist was, needs to be way more respectful over the phone. Really makes me not want to continue going to this office because of how disrespectful she was.

My 85 year old father had an eye appointment at 2:00pm. He is diabetic and asked me to check how much longer the wait will be. When I checked they said 5 or 6 people are still ahead of him. It is now 3:10pm. The front end girl had absolutely no empathy towards the issue. I feel that doctors (his is Dr. Sakauye) should have more respect for their patients. I hope the front office help is evaluated for the issues. I get to hear others in the waiting room complaining that the wait is over an hour long. He has gotten better treatment from the VA. I wish that had been an option.

I walked into the clinic legally blind in my right eye. I walked out wishing that I could have had both eyes treated! The staff was fantastic...the surgery was perfect and I can see better with my old blind eye than my "good" one. Thanks so much Dr. Remington!!!

I was referred here to see a specialist regarding my papilledema. Scared, confused, and uneducated about this eye disease I was quick to be taught and set at ease by the professionals at the Eye Medical Center.

From the moment I walked through the doors I was guided to the correct floor and every staff member was polite, professional, courteous and never once did I feel rushed. Dr Bertolucci was very easy going. He was reassuring and caring. He answered all questions and gave me the hope I was looking for. He is continually checking on my progress and well being. I'm no longer scared or

Dr. Whitten was so caring and patient with our daughter. We finally walked out of an office with answers to what was wrong with her eye. Great place and wonderful staff.

Tried to make an appointment within the week, obviously had no doctor preference given that I didn't remember the name of my doctor and they said there were no appointments with my usual doctor (information they should know through my file). They scheduled me a month out. Unsatisfied, I called later and got an appointment with a different doctor within the week. LISTEN to your patients please. I know all your doctors are qualified, I just wanted an appointment.
