I was actually referred to this provider by a family member who had gotten lasik by Dr. Ash over 10…read moreyears ago. I ended up choosing Dr. Ash to do my lasik in March and it wasn't quite the experience you read about. Besides the actual procedure being very uncomfortable, but it was quick... my eyes burned so bad that night that they wouldn't stop watering or hurting. I did not get prescribed pain meds, so I was told to use OTC ibuprofen and it only helped slightly. I did have a follow up the next day and the whites of my eyes were dark red for about 6 weeks, which they said could happen, I guess. I was supposed to get scheduled for a 1 week post op, a 1 month post op, a 2 month post op, etc. They haven't bothered to schedule me. I've called twice to get post op care and they keep stating they will call me and never do. I've gotten no post op care since the day after my surgery. That is scary. Something could be wrong and I wouldn't even know it. I paid in full the day of the procedure, so they have their money and I guess thats all they care about. I do not get the impression they care about their patients and I do not recommend this provider whatsoever. This is a serious procedure that was not cheap, they should make sure their patients are taken care of, healing well, and got the results they were seeking.

They are SO-O-O well-organized: when you arrive you are taken from machine to machine so that Dr. Ash has all of the info needed to make his diagnosis when you see him for your actual appointment. I had bilateral cataract surgery done, with an amazing outcome! The colors in this world are so beautiful; they had gradually faded from my experience. More importantly (to the CHP), I can now see the white lines on the highway!! My surgical outcome exceeds my expectations; I experienced zero pain. Very little downtime. Everyone I have met in the waiting room during pre- and post-surgical visits is happy with their care. My only regret? Why did I wait so long?

I had a very negative experience with valley optometric. They advertised contacts online at a…read moresignificant discount to me. I purchased these contacts and picked them up upon delivery. The next day I received a call and was told it was a mistake on their part and I needed to give the contacts back. I was disappointed and felt it was not my fault that this mistake happened so I went in to speak to the manager Lillian. She explained it was one of her employee's mistake and was asking for me to give the contacts back. I asked them to please, if I give the contacts back to hang on to them for me so I can purchase them directly from you due to the inconvenience of this mix-up. At this point she threatened to kick me out of the practice if I did not give back the contacts. I told them I had a receipt and proof of the discount offer and had no obligation to give them back but as a courtesy I would give them back to them if they would accommodate me by hanging on to them and selling them to me at the price that was correct not the erroneous one caused by their employees mistake. Lillian angrily said she would see what she could do and proceeded to get me kicked out of the practice because I would not respond to her threats so she carried through on her threat to kick me out of the practice. I was given false advertisement and tricked into this problem by their mistake. When I asked for an accommodation and agreed to pay the amount they wanted that was not enough for them. I would not recommend them to anyone. They have signs all over saying that they will adjust your glasses at your own risk. This means if they break your glasses in attempting to adjust them you are financially responsible. Apparently though if they make a mistake and they are responsible for something they will put all the blame on the customer Make threats and carry through on these threats if they don't get exactly what they want.

They overcharged for a copay. When I asked them to check on it because they charged a higher co-pay than what is stated on our card, the incompetent admin (I believe she said her name was "caterina") refused to check into it. She said "well we can refund him and not see him". When I asked to speak with the office manager she stated she wasn't there, didn't know when she would be back, and no one else knew either. This office needs to fire every single person who is patient facing and try again. I can only recommend to not even try booking, just bypass this office and find another ophthalmologist.

The office is super clean and neat, every where I went things were in order. Rather than sit in a room waiting for your eyes to dialate, the nurse comes out to get you ready. I feel it is a faster way of handling the clients. Of course the first thing done, is a total eye exam, then you are moved to see Dr.Tesluk, who goes over you our chart and why you are visiting the office. Overall, the experience is a good one. Everyone at the office knows their job and does a good job in treating and helping you. I would refer my friends to this office, plenty of parking.

He was raising his voice, and he comes and takes my hand and told me I need to relax! I jerked my hand away. I never raised my voice! He kept raising his, I got up to leave and told him he was condescending and arrogant. I told him I'm here because my left side of my face goes numb and my eye has been affected since the stoke. It was just a simple question because I had concerns! He would not answer me. His assistant had to push him out the door. What a guy!! Ask a question and get yelled at. I guess when you're seeing 70 or 80 patients a day you don't have time to answer questions!! I've never seen a professional person act this way!! Never go see him!!!

I have an eye condition that needed to be seen on an emergency basis, the morning before a three day weekend. I live in the Sierra foothills, but happened to be in Modesto. After several hours and calls to three different practices (including Sutter where my primary doctor is located), I found Advanced Retina Institute. The receptionist immediately understood and validated my medical concern. She was able to get me an appointment to be seen by Dr Chandron in 20 minutes. When I arrived the reception team and technicians were all incredibly kind. With a very busy office, they moved me through the steps toward seeing the doctor with amazing efficiency. Dr Chandron listened to my concern, gave me a thorough exam and talked with me about a plan to address my eye emergency over the weekend. We scheduled a convenient follow up based on my tight schedule the following week. They were incredibly flexible with appointment times. My follow up appointment was equally impressive. I love Dr Chandron's positive, kind, considerate, and proactive approach to eye healthcare. This practice is outstanding! I've decided to move my eye care to Dr Chandron, even though Advanced Retina Institute is an hour and thirty minutes from home.
