I have been a patient at Hawaii Eye Institute for over 13 years. Dr. Schmidt and his assistant…read moreoptometrist (currently Dr. Melissa Kim) have taken care of annual checkups and prescription updates. They helped me recovery from a scratched cornea. This year, I decided it was time to have cataract surgery. After the consult with Dr. Schmidt, we decided to have multi-focal interocular lenses put in. The results are MIRACULOUS! No need for contacts or glasses. I see everything better at all distances. The world is brighter and colors are more vibrant. Dr. Schmidt operated on one eye, then two weeks later, the second. The procedure was painless and recovery quick. If you're eligible, do not hesitate to get it done. I highly recommend the multi-focal solution even though you may have to pay out-of-pocket. Dr. Schmidt is truly expert, and he's done over 10,000 procedures. Beyond his surgical skill and expertise, he leads his team well. They are all well trained and motivated. Special shout-outs to office manager Ashley, who's the best. She told me to say that in my review :-) but it is true. She's the perfect wingman to Dr. Schmidt and between the two of them, they addressed every question and concern in easily understood terms. Mykaela and Vy were my techs, and they are just as good. They are personable and professional, ensuring Dr. Schmidt has all the info he needs when he conducts his exams. The front office team that greets and schedules follow up is very sharp and engaging. I cannot imagine a better experience than I had with this truly life-changing procedure.

Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Kim are absolutely the best, and their staff are all excellent as well. I've…read morehad my eye care here for several years, and this year had cataract surgery. You are in the best hands here

Mahalo nui loa to the helpful staff at Jenkins Eye Clinic and especially to Dr. Neda Nikpoor. I was…read morereferred to the clinic and I emphatically recommend Jenkins Eye Clinic and Dr. Nikpoor. The vision in my right eye began diminishing nearly two years ago. At first it felt like I was seeing the world through plastic wrap smeared with bacon grease; over time it worsened into what seemed like wrinkled paper. I was scared I might lose sight in that eye. I had to depend solely on my left eye and felt unsafe driving at night because headlights became blinding spotlights. At Jenkins Eye Clinic I learned I had cataracts in both eyes. The staff were pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating, and compassionate. I was a little devastated at first -- I thought I was too young -- but Dr. Nikpoor put me at ease. She explained what to expect before and after the procedure, answered all my questions about vision outcomes, pain, downtime, and cost, and helped me schedule bilateral cataract surgery for early April. My procedure was scheduled for 8:00 a.m., and I was out by 9:30 a.m. Tears of joy escaped my eyes when I realized I could see through my right eye again. The vision felt different -- somehow better. Colors, especially blue, are deeper and more vivid; whites are more brilliant. I can now safely drive at night without fear. I am grateful to Dr. Nikpoor, the staff at Jenkins Eye Clinic, and the team at The Surgical Suites.

Of the five senses, which one is considered the most important?…read more If you answered, "sight", Google would agree with you! Our vision helps us to interact with our world... and with others. We learn, play sports, watch movies, read, enjoy sunsets and fireworks, etc. through our eyes. What would we do without them? I first visited Jenkins Eye Care in 2000 and had LASIK surgery. The best result was getting rid of contact lenses! That one inconvenience was gone from my daily routine! What a relief! Recently, my optometrist noticed that I had the beginnings of cataracts. So many people advised me to get the surgery as soon as possible, so... Okay... I went for the exam/consultation and now am waiting to schedule the surgery. It's such a popular procedure that the office is backed up for months! I'm looking forward to interacting with the professional, patient, and pleasant staff again! I think I met six different people who helped me navigate the system! They were all kind and thorough! I highly recommend Jenkins Eye Care. They're very experienced and have an excellent reputation!

The problem: A very…read more- very - very small tiny xanthelasma on one eye ********************************* The paperwork: Sent via email prior to consultation which I appreciated - very easy to fill out. In this paperwork - I requested that my images not be used for social media. I also indicated that seeing a PA was okay - but I didn't fully understand that meant the PA would be doing the procedure. ********************************** The good: Was able to book appointment quickly. There is a $200 consultation fee that is applicable to the procedure. Surgery was scheduled the very next day and was relatively painless. The office staff, PA, etc. were all friendly. The office was clean. ************************************* The bad: I now have a scar that is whiter and a tad bit larger than the Xanthelasma that was removed. I now feel like the small smooth yellow buttery Xanthelasma was prettier and less noticeable than the new white rough scar .. ugh.... I keep asking myself what was the point of paying around $1,200 (ouch) to have it removed. I have been using silicone gel & tape as they recommended - but it hasn't helped. I have a consult scheduled with another plastic surgeon to see if anything can be done. My photos were used for social media (Instagram story) even though I requested they not be used when filling out the paperwork. The final straw that led me to write this review - I received a bill today, almost a month later - for $200 even though I paid everything up front. This was resolved over the phone after they admitted the error. ************************************* Conclusion: I wish I had looked into this more carefully. While the Yelp reviews were strong, they were not enough on their own to support such an important decision.

In particular, Jon Portis Ophthalmologist is a popular, trusted and well-respected doctor. Fortunately, my piano student's mother is a doctor who referred me to Dr.Portis, so my husband Jeff is also likely to undergo cataract surgery with him. Today was our first visit, he did a lot of tests, and everything went smoothly with the guidance of the staff. Also, the doctor carefully listened to my husband's story and set up a treatment plan. I think it is very important for patients facing surgery to understand their condition, treatment options, risks and benefits. Dr. Portis did a good job of explaining these things. . Well, this doctor, apparently he is a professional photographer and many of his works are displayed in the waiting room. When I look at these wonderful works, I forget that it's a hospital! It was my first visit with a little nervousness, but I was able to spend time at a good pace and comfortably, so I felt like leaving the anxiety of the surgery to him with peace of mind. When my husband became his patient, I also decided to have him check my eyes every year as my ophthalmologist, and I made an appointment. I'm looking forward to receiving treatment while having a fun conversation with the doctor from now on!

He is incredibly skillful. Our eyes are the most precious things we have-Dr. Portis is the best doctor to entrust them to. He was recommended to me as the best eye surgeon in Hawaii-something that I can now confirm.

Once I submitted their online form, I got a call back and Robert left me a detail message including pricing. He said to go in for Aiea location for the consultation. The day I went in, the office looked really cluttered and unorganized. I saw muliple personal items of the staffs just left around in the office... When I was doing the eye exam, I could not see well on one eye, was wondering why....then after a while I figured their machine lense was dirty, and I had to tell the Dr. it was the lense. I have never had that happen to me at an eye doctor before. The price I got over the phone was 4100 dollars for military dependent. My friend who was also a military dependent at the time paid 3800 for both eyes. I negotiated with the Dr. and he said he could do it for 3900. A month later, I got a bill for thier FREE consultation priced over $240. I was stunned because on the website it said free and even the day of the consultation, I made sure with the receptionist as well. (Matter fact I have never seen any eye doctor who does not do free consultation for lasik). I called the office to have the matter corrected numerous times and the lady who is in charge of billing never picks up her phone so I left voice messages every time, yet NEVER calls me back. I went on their website again and they clearly say free consultation. On top of that, now I found the price list for lasik and they quoated me higher price than what it is listed on their websited even after the negotiation. This business is a scam. I would never ever get anything done here if I were you. I totally believe the one star review someone else left about this Dr. office.
