The initial eye exam felt like an assembly line where I was passed from one person to the next, then ended with a salesman-type (they called him a counselor) who was basically a closer. I felt like I was buying a car! That said, everyone was very pleasant and they worked around my schedule to get my surgery done before I left the country. The surgery itself was super fast and painless (albeit a bit unnerving psychologically, but that part only lasted a few seconds). I got the SMILE surgery, a slightly less invasive technique than Lasik. There was a tiny bit of irritation after the numbness wore off, but the next morning I was fine, and within a few days my vision was quite clear. I only got one eye done, so one eye is near sighted and the other is now far sighted, and my brain stitches the images together so I feel like I have 20/20 vision. It's incredible! I need prescription readers now, though, so I can do my up-close stuff without my new far-sighted eye feeling wonky. It was expensive but overall I'm happy with the results. Would recommend. Bonus: As the surgeon got ready to perform the minute-long operation, he put on an 80s station and Sade's song Smooth Operator came on. I asked if he puts this song on each time he operates, but he said it was a coincidence.

The entire process felt smooth, professional, and reassuring. I especially want to highlight, Marleny Garcia at the San Ramon office, who was absolutely incredible. She took the time to thoroughly explain all of my options and walk me through the entire surgical process, which immediately put me at ease. I left our conversation feeling relieved, confident, and genuinely excited about the procedure. What really stood out was how personable and honest Marleny was. She shared her own vision journey and personal experience with eye surgeries, which made a huge difference for me. Hearing her story made it easy to trust her, and it was very clear that she truly cares about the patients who walk through the door. I had originally planned to consult with other doctors' offices before making a decision, but after meeting with Marleny, I felt completely confident that I had found the right place for my laser eye surgery. She played a major role in helping me feel comfortable moving forward. Thank you so much, Marleny, and thank you to the entire Scott Hyver Visioncare team for such an excellent experience!

However, Dr. Hee is super nice and accommodating once you get to him. So probably 5 stars for him despite me just having a routine checkup. It's almost a 180 experience from going to "why am I here?" to "wow you're really awesome!" when he enters the picture. I felt like I could ask him any questions I had without bothering him or rushing me out the door. Also, the place is a little hard to find through Google Maps.

It's very clear that incredibly high standards and a culture of excellence is in place at PVI and Dr. Parra is a shining example. I specifically came in because I was interested in the new ray-tracing LASIK plus technology and knew that PVI is the only practice in the Bay Area that offers this technology. Dr. Parra is the expert on this new technology and I was blown away by his expertise and ability to explain in simple terms what sets this technology apart and how it personalizes a treatment specifically for my eyes. Dr. Parra was not only attentive to detail, he was a fantastic listener and truly caring and I felt like I was in great hands from start to finish. Despite any nerves I might have had going in, his calm confidence was extremely reassuring and he walked me through the entire process so that it felt effortless. By the next day, I was already seeing 20/10, better than I've ever seen before. I only wish I'd done this sooner! A massive THANK YOU to Dr. Parra and the entire team at PVI!!

I have been thinking about LASIK for some years and finally reached my breaking point, not wanting to plan my life around my contacts and glasses.

From the front desk all the way to Dr. Parra, every person I encountered was kind, professional, and truly exceptional! Dr. Parra is the expert on the new "ray-tracing" technology, which is apparently not available anywhere else in San Francisco, and it was SO reassuring to meet with him and go over all my questions and learn about how this new technology would come up with a customized treatment specifically for MY eyes. On the day of the procedure, his calm presence was super reassuring and it was over before I knew it. By the next day, my vision was 20/15 and it was already better than it ever was with contacts or glasses! Seriously life-changing! When it comes to LASIK, PVI and Dr. Parra are truly elite!

The technician assessed my eyes through an array of lenses and enter her data in the computer, Dr. Kutzscher came into the room, exchange pleasantries and signed off on the RX without preforming an eye exam. The new RX had a huge change and I was concerned. I bought 2 pairs (clear/dark = $1,400) of glasses with Kutzscher's optician. It took 4 weeks to get the glasses and when I got them, I had a horrendous pain in the eye with the huge change on the RX and had a hard time reading/seeing. I called several times to speak with Dr. Kutzscher, he finally returned my call and said my eyes needed to adjust to the new lenses and agreed to see me three weeks later. Once more the technician assessed my eyes through some lenses and asked me to read some charts which I did with lots of errors but she said it didn't matter. Dr. Kutzscher walked in the room read her notes in the computer and said to keep using the glasses until my eyes adjusted to the change, without performing an eye exam or regard for the pain that I was suffering. I asked him to change the RX, he said there is nothing wrong with the RX, but how does he know if he never performed the eye exam. He should have honored their re-do policy as offered at the time of purchase if the glasses didn't work. The office staff and the optician are very rude, perhaps they believe if they intimidate the clients, they get paid and the problem goes away. Five months later, since the pain continued and I couldn't read or see I went back to my previous eye MD, a true gem, who stands by his work. The doctor performed a comprehensive eye exam and said the pain on my eye was due to the wrong prescription. He assessed my eyes and wrote a new RX. He said if there is any problem, he will re-do my glasses at "no cost". My new RX was a gift sent from heaven I was able to see and read without pain.
