Dr Salib was recommended to me by my primary care Dr. Larry Tran. I've been going to Dr Salib for a couple of years now. He's the best and most thorough ophthalmologist. I highly recommend Dr Salib. His staff are all nice and courteous - good customer service. I just received a letter from the office regarding an invoice that was processed late because of billing service. I must say this is the first Dr's office I've had where the doctor took the time to include in the bill a letter explaining the reason why the invoice was delayed, the reason for the delay, and that they're truly sorry for the inconvenience. The letter speaks highly of Dr Salib and his office. Again, I highly recommend Dr Salib! read more

Super friendly office staff and Dr. My first visit and it happened to be my birthday in two days and they gave me a birthday card. Very thorough exam and helped diagnose my retinal issues and saved my vision!! Forever grateful!! read more

My appointment was at 5:00pm I came at 4:45 but I saw dr Salib at 6:15 pm !!! This was third time, it's not right! why don't they tell us come at 6:00???? read more

I am extremely dissatisfied with the business, I have had a canceled appointment, an impractical reschedule time, and poor communication. Despite expressing the urgency of my situation due to vision loss, I received no meaningful support. Frustrated by delays and inefficiency, I ultimately gave up trying to be seen and noted similar complaints in other one-star reviews. They really need to take a look at how they are running this business before they lose it all. My review is ZERO sta read more

Every appointment I have brought my mother to here we wait a minimum of an hour after appointment time to even see the doctor. So unacceptable to be inconsiderate of their patients time. Don't make appointments at a certain time if they won't be seen timely. And for it to happen this often it is clearly their regular process. There are plenty of other doctors in Orange County. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Salib at the OC Eye Institute for several years now, originally referred by my optometrist. From check-in to check-out, the entire staff--including the technicians--are consistently polite, friendly, patient, and accommodating. Dr. Salib is an outstanding physician. He's incredibly thorough with his exams and testing, and he brings a friendly, compassionate bedside manner that truly puts you at ease. You couldn't ask for a better doctor. For those who may have experienced delays, I want to share that the wait is absolutely worth it. Dr. Salib takes the time needed with each patient, addressing their individual concerns without rushing through appointments. That level of care is something I deeply appreciate, and I'm always understanding if I have to wait a bit--because I know he's giving someone else the same attention he'll give me. That said, Dr. Salib and his team are always working to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. I always greatly appreciate him and his staff when I have appointments. read more

Prossecing time to see the doctor is too long, and I think it's not worth it I took my mom there today, after 2 hours waiting, we disided to go home. My mom is old and can not wait that long... Thank you read more

I hate to do this !! it's not anything bad to say about Dr. Salib. I'm writing this due to my frustration of trying to contact his coordinator" Jeanna " !!! My appt. was rescheduled due to having to make sure I had clearance from my Primary Dr. /Cardiologist. After getting the clearance I made sure they (Cardiologist) faxed the clearance form so I can get scheduled for the cataract surgery right away, After not hearing back from Jeanna I called four to five times leaving her a message to call me back so we can confirm appt.'s and to make sure what I need to do before surgery. I called back and asked the staff if Jeanna is still employed with them, I was told she is and to leave her a message. I told the staff I have called NUMEROUS times and never heard back !!! I also called the surgery center to find out what I needed to do. I was told by Vanessa at the surgery center when and time of the surgery. I went to have my surgery done, was asked whom will be picking my up after the surgery.....when I said the Lyft driver I was told I have to reschedule the appt. due to me having to make sure it's a family member . I was SUPER FRUSTRATED !!!!! (mind me I had to fast and not take my medications after midnight the day before) I wish someone would have told me and made it clear. (during all that I have said it was overwhelming and I was having anxiety due to getting the surgery procedure done) Lyft/Uber is transportation assigned by CalOptima....I'm sure it would be safe for them to transport me home even if I was a little bit still under anesthesia. They take me to other doctors appt.'s, dental, physical therapy etc. (maybe they should help us patients and have us sign a waiver due to not being able to have a family member that could be there at your appt.....because their at work and you don't want to inconvenience them). read more

I would not recommend this office unless Dr. Patel was not an option. I saw Dr Patel on referral from my doctor. I thought I would be seen by a doctor with expertise in their profession who would evaluate me based on interview and evaluation. Instead, I was seen by a doctor who spoke over me, neglected my symptoms, and made me feel insignificant. I highly suggest you find another doctor and team instead of coming here. This was one of the worst medical experiences I have ever had. read more

I wrote a review on the staff cause I wasn't happy with them. Because of that, Dr Salib wasn't happy and cancelled my surgery 10 hrs before the schedule. I think that was very unprofessional! No doctors ethics! He may be a good doctor but he can do anything to the patient as he pleases. I don't think I'll be comfortable with a doctor like that. read more

I have Such Hi-Praise for Dr Salib & His Highly Professional Staff & Operation.....It's difficult to turn my Gratitude into Words! I'm So Impressed with such Thorough Examinations and Thrilled with the Results of my Procedure! read more

Dr. Salib... As I wrote in my review dated 7/22/2019, I repeat, yes, your staff is great but please take note. The wait that you put your patients through is so stressful. This aggravation overshadows any professionalism and accuracy you have as a surgeon. People will run the other way as I did today. It is overwhelming having to wait and be put through so many duplicate tests (along w/ a strain on the eyes) and two hour plus appointments in addition to an hour wait to see the Dr. For you to expect us to be available for such long hours puts stress on us. Is there no way to possibly get help w/ scheduling? I'm sure you have heard this many times from your patients. This should not be. I think you are probably very knowledgeable and a fine doctor as I said. It's just hard to believe this is something that can't be fixed. read more

After, struggling with dry eyes and going to a different Ophthalmologist over the past year, I didn't think I would be able to find solace with my eyes. I decided to venture to a different doctor and came across Dr. Salib. Best decision, yet. Not only was Dr. Salib honest and gave a very promising approach, but I feel at ease knowing he understands my eyes. I haven't felt this relief in a long time. I can wear contacts again and not have blurry vision after taking them out. Thank you to Dr. Salib and to your staff for the friendly and professional approach, especially during this pandemic! read more

Hello, My child was referred to Dr Salib for seeing hundreds of floaters, the Dr spent some time with my school age child, having their eyes dilated. At the end of the appointment, while my child was in the treatment chair next to me, the Dr. matter of factly states that they are probably making it up and they are not seeing floaters. Long story short, I knew their had to be something going on. I went home very frustrated and researched the symptoms, after seeing our pediatrician and having lab work done, sure enough there is a larger issue going on completely related to the floaters and we are headed to an endocrinologist at Choc. I wish the doctor had not written off the symptoms so quickly, it will take us months and months before there is progress, I am so grateful I was on top of it to get the process started. I am so glad I didn't take Dr Salib's words to heart. Trust your instincts and don't stop until you get answers. read more

Great experience today at OC Eye Institute. Short wait, friendly staff, thorough exam, I felt heard. I would highly recommend OC Eye Institute. 2 thumbs up! read more

I have been visiting Orange County eye institute regularly for the last 5 years. It started with taking my mom for follow ups since she has Glaucoma. I noticed how careful& thorough Dr Salib was doing her eye exam. Later on when I started to feel the need of having my eyes checked, I didn't think twice to confidently choose Dr. Salib as my primary ophthalmologist. Four months ago I had to have a cataract removal surgery for my right eye. Dr. Salib helped me choose the right lens that also corrected my eye Vision. The Cataract laser surgery went very swift, and thankfully my eye vision improved that I no longer need my eye glasses after over 30 years of using them. The office staff are friendly and professionals in what they're doing. read more

The Orange County Eye Institute is easily the best ophthalmologist to visit in Orange County, I've tried many and I've been very disappointed but here they will never disappoint you, they went above and beyond expectations with very high standards. Dr Salib Is an expert and knows what he's doing and he is very gentle. I went to check up on my eyes and before going they called me and reminded me of my appointment and told me About the specific steps I need to take before coming and what would happen in the office visit and the approximate time I would be there for and they were very kind. The staff there is amazing they care of you and it feels like family. I would recommend everyone to go there if you really want honest and professional care for your eyes while also dealing with family like staff and Dr! read more

So I came here upon recommendation for LASIK. I have to warn you to be patient- because Dr. Salib is very, very thorough. That's a good thing because these are my eyes I'm talking about. I had in all 3 eye exams of all the fancy tests on the fancy machines, each followed by Dr. Salib going through a very long examination of my eyes. All that triple checking but when it came down to it, I lay down and in what felt like about 2-3 minutes, it was over and they handed me back a pair of glasses that have been with me (over 4 years in the Navy) which I am never going to use again. I slept all that day, but the next day, I was seeing 20/15. I put in my drops exactly as prescribed. It's been a week and a half now, and sure enough I love my new and improved eyes and they are pretty comfortable, no more discomfort than a pair of contacts (but instead of getting worse with time, it gets better and better. I could not be happier with how all my questions were answered, how everything went, and seeing 20/15. Dr. Salib and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, and I highly recommend everyone take advantage of that. He asked me what I was trying to achieve by getting LASIK, told me what the risks were and odds, what I needed to do to improve my odds. All in all, working as a team, I think I got what I wanted, I made an investment for my quality of life and I hope I will continue to reap the rewards for at least the next decade or so. Fun fact about office gossip: everyone keeps asking me about LASIK, more than the guy at work who just bought a Tesla. Just putting that out there. (Not to knock on Tesla owners, because I think they're great cars) read more

Dr Salib and his staff are very professional, friendly and very through with their procedures. I had redness in my right eye that would not go away. Dr Salib and staff examined my eye and prescribed eye drops and 10 days later my eye has improved. I also went back to get a prescription for glasses and that appt went well with Dr Gee. read more

Dr Salib has been my eye doctor for many years, before he had the clinic. He has always been professional and certainly knowledgeable. I have tried other eye doctors and Dr Salib and his staff are the best. Sometime the wait to see him with an appointment is very long. Give yourself at least 2 hours with an appointment. There is a reason, he is a very good doctor. read more

I went to see Dr. Salib for my dry eye. My impression of Dr. Salib and his staff is excellent! They thoroughly examined my eyes and vision. Dr. Salib patiently answered all my questions. I definitely felt taken care of by him. read more

I was thrilled at being referred to Dr. Salib, especially after visiting his office, learning more about his credentials, and additional specialties. The information he shared was very informative and everyone in his office was professional and pleasant. He, himself, was warm, knowledgeable, and clarified the procedure in question. I would highly recommend him and his entire staff to anyone. read more

I am a new patient for Dr. Lin and Dr. Salib. I initially wanted to see if I can qualify for lasik surgery and eliminate my glasses all together. Dr. Salib and then Dr. Lin helped me make a better choice. Both doctors and office staff are very professional, friendly, attentive and most importantly looking out for the best interest of their patients. Going in the office for my appointments, it felt as though I am meeting with my close friends. I highly, highly recommend this office to any person who's looking and searching for an eye specialist office. Mary Sherfy read more

Unfortunately I, I have to reduce my rating because of the billing dept. and lack of call back from office on patient care. Dr. Salib's care is very good. However, I left 2 messages with 2 different female staff for someone to c/b to inform them my trial eye drops didn't work out. They never called. I ended up telling an intern, Cameron, at my next appt. All he did was apologize and gave me new eye drops that were about to expire. I asked for a new one with a later date but he gave me some lame excuse. They sent me a bill 1 year after my date of service. I couldn't remember and had to back track all my records. After it was paid, they rebilled it 2 months later with a new date of service plus another billing error! Their billing dept. is on east coast (2 hrs ahead of CA time). This is frustrating because of my work schedule and it's not easy to make calls from work. Also, gals at front desk especially the one with broken English could be nice to patients. She's rather cold in mannerisms. I never had any problems with his office until this year. I'm considering a different clinic due to these experiences. Loyal and paying patients shouldn't have to go through this. Dr. Salib -if you're reading this, I hope you retrain your staff or hire new ones. read more

I was referred to Dr. Salib by my Optometrist. I had been searching for the right surgeon & technology for several years. I started seeing Dr. Salib in November 2018 and I was immediately impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and record as a skilled surgeon. Extreme dry eye resulted in unreliable testing data. He patiently worked with me to resolve this issue for several months to have the best data to accomplish the surgery I needed. In Feb & April 2019, I had both eye surgeries completed with results that exceeded my expectations. Dr. Salib is a brilliant surgeon! The office staff are very patient, knowledgeable and caring. They are the best and always made sure I received the best care. Yes, wait times can sometimes be challenging but the staff goes out of their way to make you comfortable and shorten the wait. I highly recommend OC Eye Institute. read more

Just completed my annual eye exam with Dr. Salib. Obviously not fun sitting through a battery of tests but Dr. and staff were extremely thorough and competent as they explored and addressed all potential issues. Follow up was great and I feel confident in highly recommending Dr. Salib. read more

I don't think you will find a finer doctor than Dr. Salib. He goes above and beyond most all doctors in his examinations and treatment. He is an expert in treating dry eye one of the best in California I have ever found. Being one of the coordinators or the OC Dry Eye Support Group I can speak with knowledge. In addition his diagnostic and testing procedures are also exceptional. Consider yourself fortunate to have found him. And if you have a wait a bit to see him know it is because he is taking the time he needs to treat his patients in the same way you would want to be treated. read more

Dr Erb did a great job removing a cyst from my eyelid. I was very pleased with the treatment and follow up.

I have been going to Dr. George Salib now for about 2 years and I couldn't highly recommend a better Opthomologist. He is extremely thorough and explains everything to you about what is going on with your eyes. I am very confident with the care of my vision through Dr. Salib.. Yolanda Gregg read more

Dr. Salib and staff are awesome!! I started seeing Dr. Salib a couple of years ago for an eye cyst, then moved back east. Back in June of 2020 while living back east I also did a Telemed appointment with Dr. Salib, and it was seamless. Dr. Salib is such a GREAT Ophthalmologist, listens to your concerns, and is very friendly. During September and October of 2020 my eye cyst did not go away and got worse. I knew I was coming out to California at the end of October, so made an appointment with Dr. Salib when I was in California. During September & October I emailed back and forth with Dr. Salib's assistant Frank Major. Frank was such a great help with all of my questions prior to my visit/appointment in October. Frank was timely in his responses to my concerns, and would talk to Dr. Salib about my questions. Dr. Salib would take the time to address my email questions which I greatly appreciated. At my appointment in October Dr. Salib was very thorough, and prescribed some drops for me to use, and the cyst vastly improved, and has pretty much gone away. The entire staff at Dr. Salib's office are so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Salib! Thank you so much Dr. Salib for such great care of my eye and my concerns!! read more

Hi, was visiting from out of town where my I was diagnosed by a local ophthalmologists with narrow angle glaucoma that I was told required surgery. I decided that I needed a second opinion and a friend of mine recommended that I visit Dr. Salib while I was on vacation in LA. Dr. Salib was great. He did a much more thorough examination than the prior doctor and more importantly he determined that I was misdiagnosed. Dr. Salib gave me a detailed explanation of the problem and symptoms that I had and put me to ease. My symptoms disappeared shortly thereafter so he was obviously correct in his assessment and saved me the cost, risk, recovery and side effects of an incorrect surgery. He and his staff were professional, pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Dr. Salib. I'd recommend you in second. read more

They have mismanagement and they don't respect patients time and appointments !!!! We have arrived on time and found out that people has been waiting for an hour at least followed by single fights with patients and accordingly fighting patients get their eye exam first I wear contacts and I wasn't asked to remove it although it requires 15 mins for any eye exam after removal found out I will spend all day here when we asked for the docs we signed they refused to provide it my recommendation never deal with this place read more

My daughter had a contusion in her eye. It look like a tearduck was swollen. It would burst every two days with blood. It would get all over her face and clothes. Then it would grow again. It was pretty scary. We took her to Dr.Salib. Dr. Salib and his staff were great with are daughter made her feel comfortable and not scard. Dr.Salib was the one that told us what it was and she had an infection. We had to give her some drops for two week. Then she had surgery to remove the ball that look like a swollen tearduck Dr. Saw her until he made sure her eye was back to normal and healthy. . Dr.Salib was amazing with are daughter same with the staff. After the surgery her eye was back to normal like she never had anything. Dr.Salib and his staff care about there patients well been, recovery and mental frame of mind. They are with u every step of the way. All amazing, amazing 100 time would recommend him to anybody. Thank you Dr Salib and stff! read more

Dr. Salib and his staff are simply wonderful. He is so freakin' detail oriented that when it was time to get Wavefront LASIK done I was so comfortable and at ease that I felt like I made the right decision in choosing Dr. Salib over all the other options out there. His thoroughness and availability, along with his staffs', made it clear that they all deeply cared about my recovery and that he is deeply invested in his patients and his work. Awesome, awesome, awesome experience all around. And I can seeeeeee at 20/15!!!! read more

I am pleased to say that Dr. Salib himself took the time to respond to my previous review on Yelp and asked if we would please give him another chance as he does care for his patients and wants them to be happy. So I did. And I couldn't have been more pleased. This was a complete eye exam for my 95-year-old mother, and she is just too frail to be out very long. Dr. Salib and his staff went out of their way to be sure that she was seen quickly and that she was comfortable. And I don't think it was just her. It seems he has made an effort to streamline his office appointments - as we were waiting for her eyes to dilate, we could see that patients were being seen in a timely manner. He truly does care about his patients. read more

Do not schedule an appointment if you think you will get in when your time comes up. I have had to wait over one to two hours multiple times over my scheduled time to be seen. They over schedule patients. read more
