Also both supporting Drs were professional, kind and took the time to explain/ answer questions. On my left eye, it took three days before the blurring cleared up and after that I was so happy to see everything in high definition! For my right eye, after the surgery I could see very clearly and I was amazed that it was so instantaneous that I could see in high definition after surgery, although I had some swelling which gradually subsided. It's been about a month since my eye operation and implants, and I am thrilled that I could see so clearly and can drive again!!! I don't think I'll need glasses but I'll wait a little more as I'm sure my eyes are still adjusting. Thank you Dr Mandel and staff!

It might feel a bit rushy as they have other patients scheduled on same date but they get the job done. The cost was affordable and the caring package was detailed. Points to improve include 1) provide more clear, up-to-date, on time instructions, 2) the Castro Valley Lasik specialist often doesn't pick up call, 3) less rush patients on site and remind patients more on what to do, to bring, and to keep on the surgery date. 4) provide receipts for payments on time.

I don't know if people complain because of their "speed" on appointments or the "quality" of…read morepatient care. Quality patient care must take time to listen, diagnose, identify and offer effective treatment plans. Nowadays, medical care is about speed, so doctors are under tremendous pressure to see their patients in under 15 minutes. This kind of expectation will not work well here at this eye center. They take care of their patients as no one can. They focus on precision diagnostics and patients' health quality. Not just eye exams but holistic checkups to ensure they can work with you to protect "the windows of your soul." My parents were under the Medical-Cal eye care plan, and I was so surprised about how much care this center is willing to take care of my Senior parents, especially both my parents do not speak any English. They were patient and caring. They went through a significant detail to understand their overall health and eyes conditions. We were under the care of both Dr. Kerman and Dr. Lee. I was so happy with them for five years, and eventually, I brought all my family members under this eye center's care. The bonding and trust they are establishing are genuinely remarkable to their dedication to their patients.. If you need a good diagnosis, do not rush to come to your eye appointment. Once you understand this concept, you will be amazed how much care this care team is willing to go miles with you and your loved ones.

Unfortunately, I did leave today's visit with a gut feeling that the doctor unfortunately manipulates how she's going to bill their services to benefit them, not us the customers. My husband and I each have a great VSP plans through our employer and for two exams it should have been covered especially with double coverage, however I left paying $120 out-of-pocket on what should have been zero. I left very disappointed. I am in the HR field and I have an understanding of how Primary and secondary insurances work, but there really was no arguing with the doctor. Definitely disappointed, and because of this experience, we will no longer be going to see her.

Once I waited over an hour to see Dr Ting and was told he wasn't even there. Once I waited 2 hours and was told there were 4 people ahead of me. I walked out. I said never again. I gave it one more try and told the staff I will NOT wait more than an hour. The LAME staff told me the appointment wait is 1 1/2 hours. I walked out. If the doctor doesn't respect my time I don't respect him or anybody that knows him. I'm always on time for my appointments. I only do follow ups and lately the wait is unacceptable. Another time I was there and a couple of seniors were complaining that they had been waiting 3 hours. Some of those seniors had transportation services waiting for them. Dr Ting is the only doctor that makes you wait and wait and wait. I feel like he thinks us seniors don't deserve respect for our time. At my age, I have many doctors and I'm generally done in less than an hour!!!

I reached back out to the office to request a copy of the cancellation notice they given me where I…read moreagreed to it in writing. I kid you not, they emailed the below picture. I have since emailed the office advising them this is not sufficient for patients making an appointment over the phone when they have not been in the office for close to a year, where again when their office called and left a voicemail and I called back to confirm the appointment, they still did not advise of any cancellation fees. This is against CA law and bad practice to impose a cancellation policy based solely on a sign in their office, especially for patients that are scheduled on the phone and confirm on the phone. I have since found a new optometrist and guess what? They text their appointment confirmation so the patient can confirm and guess what's also included in that patient confirmation text? Their cancellation policy!

More than 10 years ago I was in search for optometrists who could address my eye concerns. I was…read more95% contact lens wearer that wore them more than recommended in the day (sometimes sleeping in them) resulting in some scaring, infection and dryness. I realized I had to see doctors that were serious about eye health and could educate me on how I could take care of it. I also had a hard time being fitted for contacts because of my astigmatism. And my prescription being high. My first visit with Dr. Quang was great. She looked at my eyes and addressed all my concerns. I told her that my ultimate goal was to get my eyes healthy enough for Lasik in the future. There began my journey. She suggested different lenses, gave me a bunch to try until I found a comfortable pair. She also addressed my eye dryness and health by suggesting to take a supplement of Omega -3, flaxseed or fish oil (which has helped my eye health a lot) and well as using sterile drops. My experience with Dr. Ozawa was the same. I battled with eye issues for a long time. Having a foreign object in your eyes all the time is not good for you. So, Dr. Ozawa suggested I consider wearing my glasses more often. My personal suggestion: If you wear contacts, I suggest that you do a 2-4 week lens option AND a daily option. 1) they are great to have on vacation. No need for travel size contact lens solution. 2) You can carry spares with so in case your main pair becomes uncomfortable or pops out. These two doctors got my eyes healthy enough to reach my goal of getting Lasik. I will definitely continue to go see them for my eye health. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Quang and Dr. Ozawa. Especially if you have eye health concerns or always seem to have trouble with your contact lenses fitting. Take care of your eyes. Even if you don't wear glasses or contacts. Add-on: Their eyeglass collection is PHENOMENAL! They have ALL the luxury brands and affordable options as well. Use that insurance and get yourself a pair of quality glasses.
