I've been going to Dr. Solomovici and staff for around 2 years, and I never feel really scared or I feel like an idiot when I go over there, I just bring myself, and they'll take care of the rest. I know that sounds kind of ridiculous, like why would I be nervous to go to an eye appointment, but honestly, if you compare that to how you feel going to the dentist, or going to the doctor, one of the main differences is how the actual staff makes you feel, and sometimes that heavily dictates your perception of the particular practice, and Dr. Solomovici runs an amazing practice, and has a stellar supporting cast - the girls at the front are always friendly and happy to assist, and that should not go unnoticed. I'm very glad I literally live five minutes away from this place, so long as I don't change insurance, I'll be here for as long as I possibly can. Thanks, Woodside!

After the surgery, I had a question about the healing and texted her a photo and she was super responsive. I was very happy with how she never pressured me to do anything extra. I didn't realize how droopy one of my eyelids was until after I had the surgery and now my eyes feel so wide open! I'm very please with the results. My eyelids look very natural, like nothing was done, but I feel the difference. I'm so glad I went through with the surgery and highly recommend Dr. Jarayam for the surgery.

Great service and exceptional care! I highly recommend San Carlos Eye Care…read more After visiting an urgent care for a painful eye irritation, I was disappointed that they didn't thoroughly flush my eye as they were supposed to. I then made an appointment with Dr. Tran, and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Tran carefully examined my eye and found that it was severely irritated because an eyelash was lodged deep inside. He was able to remove it quickly and prescribed eye drops to help the irritation heal. The relief was immediate. It's amazing how something so small could cause so much discomfort, and I'm incredibly grateful for Dr. Tran's expertise and attention to detail. If you're looking for an eye doctor who truly cares and takes the time to find the source of the problem, I highly recommend San Carlos Eye Care.

Most importantly, her knowledge and expertise is unparalleled; she knows so much about every possible treatment option out there.

What truly sets Dr. Piluek apart, however, is her profound dedication to her patients. She has a rare combination of technical brilliance and genuine compassion, making every patient feel so listened to and cared for. She addresses concerns with empathy and thorough solutions, and is always willing to go the extra mile (or ten) to ensure her patients get the best possible treatment. Dr. Piluek's deep compassion and impressive skillset make her the best doctor anyone could hope to have, literally transforming lives.

Eyes are one thing that you never want to mess with, and I'm so relieved that I have an ophthalmologist I can trust 100%, and who always provides the most advanced care available. Her technician, Milen H., is so competent, helpful, and kind too! Incredible team all around.

The radiofrequency treatment was fantastic. It is designed to make my skin look younger and also as a bonus helps improve dry eyes. What impressed me the most is that it does not require using any injections, like Botox. I love that it allows the body to generate its own collagen over time. I have my second session scheduled in 1 month. I'm looking forward to how relaxing the treatment is. I highly recommend this facility and Dr. Chum.

My optometrist took a look at the image of my retina that popped up on her screen and said, "You…read moreneed to go straight to the ER, don't go home first, they need to operate on you tonight. Your retina is detached." I froze in the moment - it was around 530p. I had stopped by after work since the very bottom of my field of view was cloudy starting the previous day. I was expecting to hear that it was due to my allergies and would clear up on its own. No such luck. I ferociously searched for retina detachment treatments (something about a gas bubble in your eye?!?) and recovery rates in the Uber on the way to the Stanford ER, where I was admitted and checked out a few times as more of my field of view started to go dark. Dr. Rahimy was on call but not at the hospital. I spoke to him on the phone a few times as he walked me through some options, trying to plan around the potentially chaotic nature of the operating rooms at the ER. He (and the rest of the staff at the hospital) made me feel confident in the diagnosis and treatment plan (the works - a plastic buckle around my eyeball to maintain shape, a carbon-fluorine gas to take the place of my eye liquid, and some lasers), and I was scheduled for surgery at 11p. At 3a it was all over, and my wife drove me home. I didn't get to meet Dr. Rahimy that night; the anesthesiologist had put me under before he was there. I have to say that despite the freaking out that had been going on earlier in the evening, everyone I interacted with made me feel comfortable. Thanks to the nurses for getting me a warm blanket before I got wheeled over to the OR. I am completely in awe of the treatment as well as my body's ability to heal. I've done my complete regimen of eyedrops (4 different kinds, one starting at 8x/day) and worn my rad sunglasses (which block light from different directions). For the first few weeks I taped an eyepatch onto myself every night and showered very carefully to avoid injury and infection. No lying on my back. I've gone from only being able to detect patches of light and dark and color to regaining full vision in my injured eye, seeing all the changes as the gas has been replaced with eye liquid. A month in I was allowed to do light exercise again, with the eye about half full of liquid; whenever I would jog, tiny bubbles would form in my eye and hang out at the gas-liquid boundary. As of this afternoon around 4p, the bubble has disappeared completely, right on schedule. I'll kind of miss it; it was a good reminder of how the eye perceives the world upside-down, the spherical nature of my eye, and to have better posture. I finally got to meet Dr. Rahimy at my 1-week and 1-month checkups. He and his staff are excellent at what they do and very attentive. I've had a clear understanding of what I need to do and what to expect. And over the past few months I've heard that Dr. Rahimy is the best at what he does - from my optometrist, from a neighborhood friend, and from a mutual friend of ours. I'm amazed that I have fully regained vision (slightly worse, as expected, due to the change in my eye shape). He also said there was no scarring (thank you and great job, Doc!). There's been minimal discomfort for me - some very infrequent slight soreness in the first few weeks. I feel incredibly fortunate that Dr. Rahimy is my ophthalmologist. He also practices out of the San Carlos Sutter Health location, which is a very familiar office to me, just a few minutes from my house. Two months has gone by quickly - in that time we've canceled a vacation and I haven't been over the Santa Cruz mountains (couldn't go over 1000 feet in elevation). Excited to be able to do some of this again. Tonight I cut off my green bracelet that I've been wearing for the past two months. People ask me if it's from a concert and I've had to tell them it's so that medical professionals don't do anything to me that would make my eyeball explode. Looking forward to getting some new glasses and my 3-month checkup!
