I highly recommend Dr. Bui to be your ophthalmologist. He is knowledgeable, caring, and works with you to give you a treatment plan that will give you the best care for your eyes. Over the past year, Dr. Bui talked with me about my blurry vision. We decided together a treatment plan. He performed two successful painless cataract surgeries on both my eyes. Before the surgeries, I was nearly blind for two years: I could hardly see my friends' faces close up. Now, I can safely drive a car (farsight) and read (nearsight) both without eyeglasses. My life has changed drastically for the better. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart Dr. Bui! I also want to give a shout-out to the staff. Dr. Bui's office workers are professional and courteous. They, especially Lucy, gave clear instructions as to what I needed to do to prepare for the surgeries. And, since day one, I was able to make timely appointments to see Dr. Bui. Dr. Bui's group of professionals, Alameda Eye Physicians, work together too. One day, I was anxious when I felt discomfort and pain when medicating my right eye. I felt it was an emergency. Because Dr. Bui was away for several weeks, Dr. Bui's colleague, Dr. Dorothy Khong, went out of her way to see me on a Saturday at 6:30pm. Thank goodness! Even though the problem was not life threatening, dry raw eyes, I felt relieved seeing her. She placed a protective contact lense in my eye to bandage and to keep it moist. Dr. Jennifer Taylor a couple of days later followed up and prescribed me Systane to lubricate my eyes when sleeping. The pain went away quickly. Thank you so much Dr. Khong and Dr. Taylor. If like me, you have blurry vision and glaucoma which Dr. Bui treats and takes care of, don't wait. Call Dr. Bui up for an appointment. In several visits, you will be seeing again clearly. read more

Dr Bui is the greatest!! My mom had facial twitches, spasms and severe pain on one side of her face. Her Seattle doctor told her it was the suicide disease. Who wants their doctor to tell them that? Plus they couldn't or wouldn't?? Get insurance approval for treatment. She talked to Dr Bui's office and in five days she had insurance coverage, flew down to Oakland, had a treatment that was a life changer! Dr Bui is fantastic! He knows so much more than just his chosen specialty. His office staff was very efficient, knowledgeable and very friendly. Thank you Dr Bui read more

Review Dr David P. Bui on my left eye cataract surgery Doctor David P. Bui in Alameda Eye Physicians THE SURGERY CENTER: EYEMD LASER & SURGERY CENTER AT 481 30TH STREET OAKLAND CA 94609 Schedule : 04/15/2025 CATARACT SURGERY ON LEFT EYE AT 10AM AND ARRIVE ON 9:30AM Experience: Dr David Bui pushed me up one surgery slot to 9:30Am, it means the surgery should start at 9:30 Am, but they started surgery almost 10Am when 10Am was next patient surgery. So my surgery was hurry and bad. The following was what happened. A little before 9:30 AM a lady called me and asked me where I was. She did not tell me why she called me. I told her I was on the way to the surgery center. When I came to the surgery center, it was almost 9:30 Am. They put me into a cloth change room and let me take off some cloth and put them away. I took off some cloth and went for a piss. The time had passed 9:30 Am a lot. Then the staff put me in a prepare room. They put eye drops on my left eye and anesthesiologist gave me anesthetization During that time I asked them some questions. Then they took me to surgery room, as the time ran out I thought it might be closed 10Am. They put me onto the surgery table and tired me up and I saw a nurse and my surgery doctor Dr. David Bui and other black young man in the surgery room. the black man always was chattering with Dr Bui and never stop during the whole surgery and talking all things which were not related to cataract surgery. Before the surgery started, the nurse looked at my eye and told the doctor my eye had not dilated. But doctor Bui did not care he did not wait and took nurse advice. He did surgery without waiting for my left eye dilated. The surgery last less than one minute, Even in this one minute when the surgery was operated the black man still talked with surgeon DR. Bui. disturbing the surgery. At the time I was shocked and very worry for my surgery, I wanted to jump out the surgery table and left the careless and neglect surgery. But I could not because I was tired up on the table. After the surgery, when my friend drove me home, I told her what had happened in surgery room. She said the doctor conduct is unethical and unprofessional. When I came home I could only hope that the God would bless me. I hoped the DR. Bui's careless and neglect surgery would not effect the surgery result, but it was not. The next day doctor visit and one month later doctor visit after the surgery showed my surgical eye vision was worse than before. Then, DR Bui wanted to give another surgery to fix my surgical eye. He is unethical and unmoral doctor. I cannot trust him anymore. I rejected his subjected surgery. Conclusion Dr David Bui and EyeMD Laser & Surgery Center shift my from 10 Am surgery slot into 9:30Am surgery slot suddenly without notify me. When they prepared me for the surgery, time had far more passed 9:30 Am surgery starting time. Even they knew there was not enough time for the surgery, but they still hurry me into surgery room when my surgical eye did not have enough time to dilate. Because 10 Am would be next time slot of surgery for other patient. So Dr David Bui ignored the nurse gave him the warming that my surgical eye had not dilated. He did the surgery without my surgical eye dilated. He does not conduct his job on patients goodness sake. He does not take surgeries on patients serious. He continue chattering with other person on things complete not relate to the surgery during all the time of the surgery. DR. David Bui is unethical and immoral in his medical practice. He is dishonest too. On my cataract surgery consultation visit to him in January this year, I told him I was worried about having a cough during the surgery, he told me he could inject some medicine into me to stop the cough before the surgery. In the surgery day I asked the staff for that, the nurse told me they did not do that, and told me when I felt I was going to have a cough, say "pause". Dr Bui has lost his moral and conscience. My surgical eye vision get much worse than the vision before surgery I can not reverse my surgery and get my vision back. I need the vision to pass DMV eye exam to renew my driver license. Dr David Bui does not operate a cataract surgery seriously. His neglect and careless caused my cataract surgery fail. More worse, DR Bui is very dishonest. He made up the surgery result by lying. In the after surgery eye exam prescription ,saying my vision was better than the vision before the surgery. In this eye exam he did not really do the job, when I could not see on my surgical eye he used a light to light up my surgical eye to help me see. When I told him I could not see he ignored that and only showed me the same numbers and told me the number were same as before to help me guess. After he found characters were more difficult to see he showed me only numbers in the later time of exam. I hope my terrible experience give other people a lessen. read more

Dr. Bui may be the smartest physician with whom I have come into contact. He is a really excellent Ophthalmologist. He did my bilateral cataract surgery, and after consulting with me gave me "monovision," (one eye is for close vision, the other for far) which means I don't need glasses! (Except reading in low light.) He takes the time to explain every part of what he sees (and will do), without dumbing it down. read more

I was referred to Dr. Bui by my wonderful Optometrist, Dr. Fong (Eyewise Optometry). After having my eye examined with East Bay Retina Consultants, it was discovered I had a cataract that needed surgery. I was able to easily & quickly make an appointment with Dr. Bui. After reading the many reviews, I felt very comfortable doing this. Dr. Bui not only got me in quickly, but also had my surgery scheduled soon after. I have to say, if the most pain I'm going to feel is the small poke of the needle in my hand for my IV, sign me up! This was such an easy surgery and the results were immediate. The follow up with Dr. Bui and his staff has been wonderful. If you are hesitant about getting this surgery, I can attest that Dr. Bui is the person to work with. read more

Dr Bui continues to provide superior care, earning my trust by his prudent approach, regularly monitoring my condition and advising against surgery until it was just the right time. My original review from 2006 still applies, with the one exception of Dr Bui's new website, which is now now https://www.alamedaeyephysicians.com/ read more

I was referred to Dr. David Bui by a friend. I found the office staff to be polite and professional. Dr. Bui performed an upper eye lift and I am very happy with the result. He was knowledgable and very skilled. Not all ophthalmologists can perform this procedure with satisfactory results since it not only takes skill but also an eye for the aesthetic that the patient desires. Once you see the before and after pictures it becomes quite clear that Dr. Bui is very talented with this type of surgery. read more

I am the office manager at Urgent Care Center of Alameda and we send many of our complex eye emergencies to Dr. Bui and his colleagues. The office has always been very helpful in processing the emergency cases and we appreciate it very much. We've received positive feedback from our patients and we just wanted to say thank you. -The UCCoA Team read more

My feelings for Dr. Bui and his very pleasant and efficient office staff are full of gratitude and appreciation. My cataract operations were speedy and painless.. as were my recoveries. I have great vision without glasses now.. and with monovision, I don't need reading glasses. I recommend Dr. Bui without reservation. I feel fortunate to have found him to operate on me and provide very thorough follow-up. read more

We came to dr Bui through a friends referral, and found him timely, thorough and most importantly thoughtful and a complete professional. He Completed surgery on my wife's eye exactly on schedule and she experienced no side effects or discomfort. We can only support anyone seeing dr bui for treatment in the future. read more

I discovered at an eye exam some months back that I had a cataract in my left eye, and I was so alarmed that I unthinkingly accepted the referral made by the optometrist (at Costco, my first time there). I did not like the office or the manner of the eye surgeon I met with, who told me that if I wanted any correction included in the replacement lens, I would have to purchase an upgraded lens at $1200-$1800 per eye. (The right eye had not developed a cloudy area, but was hugely sensitive to glare, so that would have been times two.) I turned to Yelp to find a highly-regarded eye surgeon, and consider myself very lucky to have found Dr. Bui. He is not just professional and highly competent, he's a warm and friendly person as well. I have now had surgery on both eyes, and have 20-20 vision, without needing an upgraded lens. Rather than needing bifocals, I now occasionally need reading glasses. If you are looking for the best surgeon for your eyes, look no further- you won't find anyone better. read more

I first met Dr. Bui after suffering from an acute iritis attack while at a conference in Phoenix a few years ago. I was treated by a local opthalmologist and when I arrived home I needed to find one to continue treatment follow up. Dr. Bui was my choice based on the usual health plan considerations and I knew very little about him. He prescribed a more aggressive approach to treatment and follow up for testing to see if I had the genetic trait that is known to trigger iritis. Needless to say I have been very happy with David and the entire practice since my initial visit. Unfortunately the iritis flares up from time to time but I know the treatment plan by heart now and follow ups with Dr. Bui have become routine. He's good people and a good Dr. The whole family sees him now. read more

Thrilled! For a couple of years I've had a chalazion on the left eyelid and skin tags under the right. Felt like an old lady. But Dr. Bui fixed all that in a heartbeat! He has a great bedside manner in getting you to relax as a needle is going into your eyelid and later your eyelid being lifted back. Great support from all the staff including check-in. I originally had an appointment May 24, but I requested any last minute cancellations and I was seen two days after the initial consultation. That's service! I wouldn't hesitate going back for cosmetic surgery when I have the funds. For now, I am more than blessed Dr. Bui takes Medi-Cal. For those of you who have this recurring problem, a nightly wash with baby shampoo and warm water is the program for preventing this nasty bacterial reoccurrence. Thank you Dr. Bui! read more

Dr. Bui saw me on an emergency basis today. That alone gets him five stars. In addition, however, I found him to be nice and efficient. His staff was also very pleasant and a special shout-out to Kathy (sp?) who arranged to get me in on short notice. read more

I had my eyelids surgery with Dr. Bui a month ago and could not be happier. My eyelid was drooping in one eye. I never can use eyeliner or eye make up on that eye. I have always want to have it fixed for years!!! I made the decision after making a lot of research and reviewing all photos on his websites. And Dr. Bui is even more than my expectation. He was so caring and helpful throughout the whole process. I am SO HAPPY with the result. One week after the surgery, some people did not even notice I had my eyelids surgery done until I close my eyes. My eyelids look naturally bigger and not too much different. Highly recommend. read more

For years, Dr. Bui has provided excellent eye surgery and other eye services for me, and for my father before he passed. Dr. Bui is not only an excellent eye doctor, but he also has sincere concern for his patients. He responds to individual patient needs. He gets the best possible results, medically, psychologically, and financially. read more

Let me say that Dr. Boi is an amazing man, a professional and caring Dr. His office/billing staff however, are unprofessional, disorganized, over burdened and bitchy at best! Every time I've gone there the front office staff seems completely overwhelmed and well the male office manager is crazy! They called me to make an appointment for my elderly father and hang up on me when I get frustrated when I forgot the name of the medication he was using.. something they should have known if they had his chart! The new girl thought I was yelling at her.. hung up. Called back.. got the phone handed to the office manager cause I guess I was sooo unreasonable to say.. "shouldn't you guys know what med my dad is on... you prescribed it and didn't you call ME? Office manager goes into a ten minute rant on how only rich people will be able to see Dr. Boi going forward (my dad has blue cross and medicare what the hell?) and that they can't keep staff and they are very stressed out cause they are overworked because of Obama care lol .. seriously? Your psycho lack of professionalism you are going to blame on the President? So ya.. great doctor if you don't mind dealing with his front office. read more

I have known Dr. Bui for many years. One thing that sets him apart is his unfaltering integrity. Oftentimes specialists who are very experienced allow their egos to interfere with their professional judgment. But Dr. Bui really listens and has uncanny intuition. Dr. Bui uncovered an important, life-threatening illness of a dear friend of mine which had gone undiagnosed for years. Something that was completely unrelated to her eyes. She was incredibly relieved to have the time to be treated because of his diagnosis. I would drive to Los Angeles just to see him if his office was there. I think his work as an ophthalmologist is unparalelled. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Bui for more than 8 years now and I feel it is even more than that because his staff and himself treat me like family. When I first came to him, it was a "last resort" kind of thing. I was fed up with my previous manage care provider and I was literally going blind. I had chronic iritis and did not even know what I 'm supposed to do to help myself. I live in Alameda and I desperately wanted to find a doctor closeto home. My primary doctor gave me a referral to Dr. Bui and I was impressed because even with the staff there, Dr. Bui was known in a very positive way. I decided that this was definitely a good sign. Dr. Bui is a very compassionate and competent physician, who genuinely cares about his patients. He has performed 2 surgeries on me, first was my cataract surgery and the last one was an upper lid blepharoplasty. On both instances, I heard raves from nurses as well as my anaesthesiologist -on how lucky I was to have him as my opthalmologist , it is transparent to me that his reputation precedes him. He is well liked because not only is he a good doctor he also has a big heart. He is also surrounded by efficient and friendly staff who are always helpful. All in all, everyone in Dr. Bui's clinic makes my appointments a real relaxing and stress-free experience and that is far from what one would expect from seeing a doctor these days. read more

Great eye doctor. Had surgery in both eyes and I can see really good now. No side effect, no complications. Everything went well. Highly recommended. read more

I met Dr. Bui in 2008 for the first time and I was very impressed how honest and insightful he was. He suggested after an intesive examination that I should have a cataract surgery... I was scared a little bit but the surgery was a great success and I am very thankful for Dr. Bui's skills. I highly recommend him... read more

Not a good experience at all at this practice (this is not a reflection on Dr Bui specifically however as we engaged with others there). I was referred to them by my pediatrician for my son who needs glasses. I gave them his age and DOB when scheduling the appointment. The day of the appointment, they called me five minutes before saying they had to cancel (I had pulled my son out of school early that day, taken a portion of the day off, etc.) Then, when I came in with my son for the rescheduled appointment, after a one hour eye exam, they said he really should go to a pediatric opthamologist as that type of eye doctor was really better suited to fit him for glasses. He's far sighted, it wasn't some sort of obsure diagnosis. Going there was a total waste of two days. We came away without a perscription, and now I have to go to yet another doctor to take care what was supposed to be taken care of during my appointment at this practice in Alameda - a simple eye perscription for my son. I would have appreciated their saying ahead of time that they weren't equipped to treat/prescribe glasses to children before going ahead and scheduling the appointment two times for my son. read more
