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.

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.

I recently visited an ophthalmologist with the hope that he'd help me resolve the issue. Long story short, he did not. Not even close. I explained my symptoms to Dr. Wong during my annual eye exam. She examined both of my eyes closely based on my comments and diagnosed the issue pretty quickly. I am so thankful that she gave my poor painful eye the attention it needed. I also really appreciated all the covid-19 precautions everyone in the office took.

Our employee arrived for his scheduled appointment today, but his necessary translator did not arrive. When I called to resolve the issue and suggested reaching out to the insurance carrier to see if there was a coordination mix-up, the representative, Shana, became extremely aggressive and rude on the phone. Instead of providing the customer support we needed, she claimed there was no one available in the entire building who spoke Spanish. Throughout the call, she refused to let me get a word in. When I politely asked for her supervisor's name, she completely bypassed my question and hung up on me, refusing to provide any management contact information. I called back immediately and was connected with Brandy, who was very kind, professional, and helpful. She was able to provide the name of the supervisor, Denise Kurt. While I appreciate Brandy's excellent assistance in a stressful situation, the behavior exhibited by Shana is completely unacceptable for a professional medical office handling sensitive worker accounts. Management needs to address Shana's conduct and communication immediately

Unprofessional and Disrespectful of Patients' Time…read more My mother's appointment was scheduled for 1:20pm, yet we were kept waiting 51 minutes before being seen. There were no updates, no explanation, and no apology from the staff or the physician. When I mentioned--calmly--that my mother's time should be respected and that appointments should begin reasonably close to their scheduled time, Dr Gilbert replied: "Well, sometimes it works that way and sometimes it doesn't." That statement, paired with a complete lack of acknowledgment for the delay, was unacceptable. It reflected a dismissive attitude toward patient time and basic professionalism. I remained polite and civil throughout the interaction, but left with the impression that punctuality and patient communication are simply not valued here. If you expect respect, accountability, or even a simple apology for excessive wait times, I would advise seeking care elsewhere.

Clearly, he's competent, also has a great tableside manner and is an unusually good conversationalist for a busy physician. And while Dr. Drucker is outstanding, be advised that the office staff is not nearly as capable as the doctor himself - with Rosa as the lone exception. If you call, you'll get a disinterested monotone on the other end of the line, with no comprehension or desire to resolve your issue. Again, ask for Rosa, and this problem solves itself. I'm hoping he has no immediate plans for retirement - he's one of the good ones.

He is quiet and not a "ha ha" kind of guy. But that is different from condescending, although I could see where it could be taken that way. And, possibly, he was having a bad day - or the reviewer was. Recently, I was looking for my prescription (I was ready to order glasses) and couldn't find it. I called the office. They looked up my prescription, read it to me, and told me they could mail or fax it to me or I could pick it up. I'd say that's going above and beyond the call of duty! I'll go back!
