It's time for my eye exam again. I've had good experiences with Redwood Eye Center in the past and…read morethey continue with their excellent track record. I checked in easily and quickly at the front reception desk. Had a mild wait while I scribbled out some paperwork and and then after a few more minutes, went to get my eye exam I saw Quan Dao for my exam. I've seen her twice before. The last two times were quite interesting. I had a routine eye exam and then I suggested if the prescription was simple enough that I could get it fulfilled at Costco. Oh, that was not the right decision for me. My prescription IS simple but Costco had to cut my lenses four times and they still failed. They sent me back for another eye exam to make sure my prescription was "correct". If there was a "mistake" in the prescription then I was allowed a free redo. There was no mistake in my prescription, but there was some room for a fudge factor. Which changed the prescription enough to get me a free redo at Costco. That was the whole point of the exercise. Well, the exam this time went smoothly. I suspected there was some very minor change to my prescription which showed up mostly in my nearsightedness. I felt I might benefit from some extra power in the lens there. Bingo. That was the exact result of my new exam. This was such a minor change to my prescription that Quan Dao and I debated if it was worth it to get another pair of glasses. In the end, we decided the problem could be solved with a minor upgrade in a pair of cheap readers. These cost anywhere from two bucks to 20. Then we both recalled the Costco experience and shuddered. We both agreed it was not worth going through anything like that again not for this minor prescription change. Checking out was a breeze. I just needed to pick up the printout for my new prescription and it was done.

I completed two interviews for a position: an initial 10-minute phone screening followed by a 30-minute Zoom interview. Both conversations seemed positive, and I was told I would hear back regarding next steps. I've reached out twice to follow up, and it's been 3 weeks without any reciprocated communication. Neither message received a response. Extremely unprofessional, it would have taken my interviewer, Kayla Gustavson, less than 5 minutes to state that they moved forward with other candidates.

I arrived at Dr. Leong's office late afternoon. When he examined my eye he said it could not wait until the next day. He stayed late into the evening, doing a complicated cryo/bubble repair. I ended up with no vision impairment at all, which seems like a miracle. My grandfather had a detached retina, and his vision was severely impaired afterward. Dr. Leong's manner was good, thoughtfully answering all my questions. His follow-up care was attentive.

I cannot recommend Dr. Lim highly enough!!! 17 thumbs up!!!…read more She is a miracle worker. I was the biggest scaredy cat about getting my cataract surgery done. I have been wearing glasses since the third grade and I am extremely near-sighted. One of my biggest fears is losing my sight. Dr. Lim made me feel extremely confident about getting the surgery. She explained the surgery in detail and she offered excellent advice about the right type of cataract lenses for me. The surgery itself was extremely quick and painless. I felt like I was at a Laserium show at a planetarium and not in an operating room. There are a number of follow-up appointments scheduled for the day and week after surgery. Both Dr. Chan and Dr. Zhang were caring, knowledgeable, and friendly at these follow-up appointments. The Walnut Creek office staff is also wonderful, friendly, and efficient. Being the nervous Nelly that I am, I did call them more than a few times with my worries. I am now seeing 20/15 out of my distance eye. I can read 4 point type out of my reading eye. I feel I should be on a lecture tour, wearing a Super Hero cape to match my new bionic eyes, touting the wonders of cataract surgery with Dr. Lim. The only regret I have is enduring blurry and dimming vision for a year because I put off my cataract surgery because I was so scared.

She is a one in a million genius eye surgeon with a manner so unassuming and a hand that is so calm and self assured, you pray that she is there whenever you go under the knife. Period! Her specialty is corneal implants. She loves what she does and she loves to give the miracle of perfect sight to her patients. I'm 77 now and one day after the surgeries my eyes tested 20/20 & 20/24. Three year later they still test the same. I'm so grateful to her! It is not surprising to me that she worked with Dr Vastine, the Errol Flynn of eye surgeons. And she was referred to me by Dr Litwin, one of the best. Don't even think about it. Get on her waiting list today.

Not sure how to word this appropriately. The office is clean and the staff is efficient. However,…read moremy last appt. with Dr. Prasad was "interesting". I commented to Dr. P that I had to wait 2 hours. At this, Dr. P, not only got defensive, but I felt, personally insulted. I did not make an untrue statement. He was 2 hours late. I did have my eyes dilated, but had waited prior to this and after until I was seen. At this, he told me I was"Mean". I wasn't mean, I was honest as I pointed out, but he couldn't let it go. I apologized again as I realized he was taking this so personally, even telling me he has told his children not to become doctors due to people like me. Weird. At this, I apologized again for my statement of saying he was late and he went off on a tangent of "having done good surgery on me", yes he did. Cataract surgery. However this had nothing to do with being late. He said I couldn't say something like this and expect an apology was acceptable. He looked at my chart and said I had been coming to him since 2021. He could not drop this. He is a good doctor, however has run late consistently. I will be changing opthomologist as It was if I was at that point speaking to a spoiled child, not a professional doctor.

It's been over 5 years, from age 32 to 37 my vision stays the same. I'm a little more sensitive to glares at night, but it doesn't bother me since I don't usually drive at night. Due to work, I have to stare at my computer for over 8hours daily. Every time I do sports or go traveling, I'm so grateful that I did the surgery. Thanks, Dr. Manche. Looking back, the process was straightforward, communication was clear. If you're reading this comment, probably you want to do the surgery but can't decide where to go. Let me tell you my story. My coworker did the same surgery at the same time with a different doctor, this doctor's commercial is everywhere, even on the radio, he also has high review on Yelp. They quoted my coworker almost $2000 cheaper. But the surgery result was very different. My coworker suffered a lot after the surgery, way more pain and red eye, when I have recovered she was still following up with the doctor because left and right eye visions were different.
