    Dr. Smith (and the staff) were awesome!!!! The staff was very efficient, friendly & professional. Dr. Smith was very informative and explained his medical assessment in understandable terms. Despite his "young age" of "over 70," his treatment plan was far more progressive than other specialist. He was the best, most educated and well-dressed eye specialist I have ever seen. I would DEFINITELY recommend Dr. Smith to anyone!!

    This is the After my surgery for a cyst on my lower eye lid.

    I had an excellent experience with Dr. Jonathan Truong at TriCounty Eye Institute. He took his time…read moreduring my annual eye exam, answered my questions, and performed a very thorough examination. I never felt rushed, and I truly appreciated the level of care and attention he provided. Dr. Truong is always professional, kind, and genuinely cares about his patients. His expertise and compassionate approach make every visit a positive experience. In my opinion, he is one of the best eye doctors in Corona. If you're looking for an outstanding optometrist, I highly recommend Dr. Jonathan Truong at TriCounty Eye Institute, located at 1124 S. Main Street in Corona, California. You'll receive exceptional care from a doctor who truly puts his patients first.

These people told my wife they would reimburse her for her trouble and we continue to get the run around. Do NOT work with these people. If you manage to speak to anyone on the phone they either have crazy bad attitude or have no idea what is going on. My wife is decent and patient but it is frustrating to watch her go through this crap service. I will pretty much continue to leave these reviews until she has resolved her issues and wipes her hands of this place. Do not waste your valuable sight or time.

    Had my first appt with Dr. Godiwalla so this is based on 1st visit consult only…read more I was apprehensive at first, as at Alpine location I wasn't happy at all with service of incorrect eye assessment. Dr.Godiwalla, located in Lajolla is a very soft spoken, caring and kind Dr. She LISTENS. She LOOKS AT you. Ok, now, ...Read that again. She discussed treatment options, and put my mind at ease. I was being assessed for cateracts. I have pre op in Dec. and surgery after the New Year. Again, my consult went much better than I expected and I feel so much more optimistic. My tech ( I hope not underplaying her title or importance) was kind, friendly and filled room with great vibes. In conclusion, Upon checking out John (his name I believe) was so polite and friendly. Really nice young man! The team I had I'd have to give a 5+ for 1st initial visit and would highly recommend Dr. Godiwalla and her staff.

    A month after my 1st cataract op I contracted an infection within eyeball and lost my sight…read more Immediate action was taken & corrected by Dr Hudson. I believe the fault of Dr Binder who did original op since there was debris left behind. I was told I had 50/50 chance to get vision back. 5 weeks after my 2nd eye cataract removal, I have blurred vision & 100's of floaters. After seeing Dr Hudson, his response was continue with the drops and come back in 6 weeks. Due to uneasy feel and glare, I have my eye closed 80% of the time. It's not right! I am seeking a 2nd opinion but dr's are weeks to months out for appointments. Dr Godiwalla how did the 2nd op was wonderful throughout the process, but it doesn't help my sight. I requested a standard lens for reading glasses only. I believe whatever happens it will be bi-focals. Hudson did not seem to care when I said that I am extremely disappointed in the outcome of both eyes.

Dr Vance Washington, per my husband was super nice and thorough. He took his time to rule out other possibilities of infection or diseases and reviewed my husband's medical history.

Another time I had a doctor named Venus who repeatedly asked if I had guns in the home, if I was going to harm myself or others after I told her I was emotional about feeling like I was going to have a heart attack because I have a baby now and it's very important I stay alive. She responded "well do you wanna be alive?", just completely not understanding my fear or my repeated desires that I would prefer to be alive. Her parting words were to give me a hotline number if I felt I was going to harm myself even though I had made it abundantly clear that again, I wanted to live and was scared I was dying. And thirdly I had Dr. Lee who I am convinced is just a robot. He had the compassion and empathy of a toothpick and when I tried to just express a concern, he mansplained seven times in a row that because I don't have those symptoms now he wouldn't prescribe anything. No shit! No acknowledgement of understanding my feelings or medical history, just gave me robotic, repetitive responses.

    I came to UCI for a second opinion on multi focal lens cataract surgery. The experience at UCI…read moreblew away the first place. UCI Medical eye institute in Irvine (love the free parking thank you!) gives a tremendously thorough exam, and Dr Garg spotted the real vision issue that Dr Sedri of Newport Beach Eye Institute completely missed. They both were provided with the exact same classic symptoms: "really blurry in the morning improves after 1 to 2 hours." UCI intake asked every detail of my health and two Doctors reviewed all my symptoms - refreshing! All the staff at UCI were so energetic and you can tell they love their jobs and their patients. So grateful God orchestrated a second opinion - I was not planning to get another opinion just happened organically from a conversation at a church dinner with my friend a retired emergency room Dr who is also getting cataract surgery. I HIGHLY recommend seeing UCI Dr Sumit "Sam" Garg. He saved me from the wrong surgery, wrong lens, and horrible. unnecessary expense. UCI is one of the few places in Orange County that is not a cataract money grab mill. If only every doctor would take such care for the well being of their patients. Also UCI is quite a bit less expensive than the 4 quotes i got from other Ophthalmologist, about 1/3rd less m, for multi focal lens or EOD lens. Turns out i am not a good candidate for multi focal due to a genetic, progressive eye disease, cornea epithelial dystrophy aka Fuch's Dystrophy. See attached photo of tge back of the cornea lining. Also my cataracts are mild to moderate, NOT one grade less the severe! Quite a different story at UCI!!! They are soooo amazing. Dr Garg of UCI took great care and time to explain his plan to improve my vision. Maybe cataract surgery down the road, and due to my condition, definitely not multi focal lens which would exacerbate its weakness of night time lights halo effect. Everyone talks up cataract surgery as it is the most common surgery performed. However, it is still surgery and the outcome affects your most precious eyesight! Go to the best. I wish all the Ophthalmologists in Orange would be as conscientious as Dr Garg ( and the other you woman Dr at UCI who also examined my eyes.) I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Best to all who are seeking better eyesight and taking the time to read reviews.

    I have been looking into Lasix for quite some time. I went to a different Nvision location 2 years…read moreago & the optometrist at the time wanted medical clearance from my regular ophthalmologist due to my health issues. I went to see my ophthalmologist & he said he wouldn't medically clear me unless the surgeon is Dr. Tooma. I finally get around to getting a consultation & specifically asked for Dr. Tooma. He also had very limited appts since he is the OG in eye procedures! My patient Liason was Jennfier, who is a total sweetheart. Dr. Tooma was awesome in explaining why he recommended EVO ICL over lasix. He was also one of the original surgeons who brought all this technology to California. Now I can see why my ophthalmologist wanted me to specifically see him. I decided to go with his recommendation since he is the expert. Pre-op procedures were very extensive, which I don't mind at all. I opted to purchase the medicated eyedrops through them. The procedure itself was at a different location nearby. Entire staff has been wonderful. I had my procedure done yesterday. I returned to the clinic in the afternoon for a post op check & also came back earlier today. I have not been able to drive due to the healing process, but I should be able to see. I am still sensitive to the light and there's still a lot of inflammation in both eyes. I am gradually able to see better, so it just takes some patience. I am returning for another check up tomorrow. I love how thorough the doctors have been..I feel comfortable knowing I have been in good hands. As long as my vision improves and I don't have to wear contacts or glasses, I can't complain!
