Dr. Beers has messed up my prescription multiple times, is curt and impatient. Having astigmatism means it takes a second for your eyes to adjust to tell him which lens is better but he is impatient and has resulted in multiple incorrect prescriptions. He is rude and isn't good with giving proper prescriptions. So naturally when I went back to get it fixed I opted for Dr. Liu and was firmly told I should go back to Beers instead - no thanks he's the guy that keeps messing up my prescription in the first place. read more

After wearing a very strong prescription since I was 14 years old, I honestly never imagined I would be able to see this well without glasses or contacts. Before LASIK, I couldn't see anything clearly beyond arm's reach. Today, I have 20/20 vision in one eye and 20/40 in the other, with excellent distance vision and the ability to comfortably read fine print. I am absolutely ecstatic with my results. Dr. Beers and his entire team were exceptional from start to finish. I was genuinely terrified before the procedure, but they took the time to answer all of my questions, calm my fears, and make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. A special thank you to Georgina, who handled my intake and even held my hand during the procedure. Her kindness, compassion, and reassurance made an enormous difference to me. The surgery itself was amazingly quick--less than 10 minutes--and far easier than I expected. I experienced zero complications, and my vision was already clear as I walked out of the office. It truly felt life-changing. My husband had LASIK with Dr. Beers before I did and had an equally outstanding outcome. Seeing his success gave me the courage to move forward with the procedure myself, and I am so grateful that I did. If you are considering LASIK, I cannot recommend Dr. Beers and his team highly enough. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their patients are second to none. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you!! read more

Dr. Liu was fine, unfortunately their billing office sends nasty handwritten notes if you're too slow sending checks in for copays. Because who writes checks anymore. Every other medical professional I deal with has an online pay option, but not this one. And with the payment reminder form, they make sure to scribble an aggressively nasty note demanding payment "TODAY!!". I will not be going here again. Nice job billing lady, you cost your employer hundreds of dollars of business over $30.. Slow clap. read more

I no longer feel comfortable going to Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group based on my experiences over the past two years. Last year I was given a prescription for glasses that turned out to be incorrect. I only realized this after spending over $300 on lenses that did not work for me. When I returned to have the prescription checked I was charged again and billed for an additional "dry eye" evaluation even though I do not recall discussing dry eye with the doctor during that visit. This year during what I expected to be a routine eye exam I was told I had to pay $40 for an "optic nerve picture" which is not covered by my vision plan even though my plan is one of the more comprehensive ones available. I was not given an explanation of a medical need for this test at that time. In my view it seemed like an unnecessary add-on for someone simply coming in for a basic check-up. Based on these experiences I personally feel that the focus here may be more on generating additional charges than on providing straightforward patient care. That is my opinion but it is the impression I was left with after two consecutive visits. I have decided I will not return and I cannot recommend this practice to others. read more

I was always treated with warmth and efficiency at the front desk upon arrival. The staff was clearly happy with their positions, as there was very little turnover. This allowed me to build solid relationships and enabled the staff to be finely attuned to my eye needs whether it be contacts, surgery, or eye wear. The doctors are extremely skilled and I have always appreciated that they anticipated future needs and clearly communicated this to me. Dr. Beers is my doctor and I adore him! He's extremely professional, highly skilled, but still manages to have a dry sense of humor about things, which I highly appreciate! It's a GREAT organization and I strongly recommend them! read more

I'm very happy with Dr. Liu and his office. After bouncing around between eye doctors for many years, a friend referred me to Dr.Liu just over 10 years ago, and I've been going there ever since. Dr.Liu is very attentive to his patients, and their optometry (glasses) shop is the best, especially Brenda. Brenda has always helped me find the right frames and has even helped me with quick solutions in a pinch. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Beers for over 10 years and always receive excellent care. Brenda at the optical shop is fantastic--she consistently helps my wife and I find the best frames and offers great support with contacts. Most recently, she kindly reordered a new pair of glasses when the first didn't fit right--amazing service! Sayyed K. read more

I've always had really bad eyesight and I would heavily rely on glasses when I was a child. It was hard for me to do physical activities like soccer, softball, and dance in fear my glasses would somehow break. In middle school I finally was able to get contacts, but my contacts would dry out at the end of the day and make my eyes dry. My second most recent eye prescription was -7.50 in one eye and -7.25 in the other. So yeah, my vision has always been bad. I was as blind as Velma from Scooby-Doo whenever she lost her glasses. I got a referral from my father and I went in to get some options if I would be a good candidate for lasik or ICL surgery. The assistant, Georgina, took all of my eye measurements with a bunch of different machines to get the perfect measurements of my eyes. She coordinated everything smoothly and I was so happy to have her be a part of my eye journey. After all the measurements were taken it was determined by the surgeon, Dr. Beers, that I was a better candidate for ICL. Dr. Beers did a spectacular successful ICL procedure on me. I had my post op follow up 8 hours later and I was already seeing 20/20 in one eye and 20/25 in the other. My healing process was pretty quick as I slept for pretty much two days straight and used the prescribed antibiotic eye drops. I was able to return to work two days later being able to see so clearly. I had a couple more follow up appointments and my vision is 20/20 in both eyes. I can see super sharp, no longer have to squint, and I am now able to do fun things like go to concerts, sports games, and do physical exercise without glasses or contacts. ICL is a life altering game changer! I highly recommend Georgina and Dr. Beers to help you with your vision journey whether it's glasses, contacts, lasik, or ICL! read more

I just completed cataract lens replacement surgery with Dr Liu and the results are amazing! It completely corrected my astigmatism! I told Dr. Liu he gave me the gift of clear corrected sight. Amazing! The office people and techs are great people too. All around great experience!! read more

Everything with Dr. Lui and Dr. Beers goes well. They're great Ophthalmologists! Our family highly trusts them!

Dr. Jeffery Liu is a great doctor and knows what he is doing. I highly recommend him for Cataract Surgery and laser Surgery

Very rude receptionist. Instead of helping find the referral (which they called in about and left a voicemail - see pic), it was a terse conversation about not having it and no attempt to help. Can't trust an office that doesn't care about patients to begin with. I hope the doctors are paying attention to how new patients are being treated over the phone. I guess I won't be seeing Dr Liu any time. read more

Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Mountain View, California

I Highly recommend this practice! Doctors Beers and Liu are exceptional. They treat me, my 94 year old father and my 90-year old mother-in-law. Brenda and Julianna in the Optical Department are AMAZING; they are professional, kind and exceptionally patient. These two women go out of their way to treat their patients, whether its a broken pair of glasses, a pair that doesn't fit, or a funky prescription that needs fixing they will help you! Thank you Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Beers for over 35 years. Dr Beers has performed laser surgery, cataract surgery and regular checkups for my vision. He has been an outstanding physician to all my vision needs. His staff are all very professional. For many years I have been getting glasses and contacts through the Optical Shop. The staff is extremely helpful and attentive. Brenda is always cheerful and very detail orientated on everything she does. The optical shop is everything one would expect from a "small business"...personable and individual care for patients. read more

The doctors and staff are nice, but not very responsive, esp. the optical dept. I was given a new prescription for contacts which turned out to be way too weak. I left numerous voicemails which were never returned. I tried calling again today and have been on hold for 10 minutes and counting. It is a somewhat urgent problem as I can't see street signs or drive at night. I'm about to the point of switching to another provider. read more

My partner and I had PRK corrective surgery performed about a year apart with Dr. Beers and love the results. Everything from the initial consult and all aftercare appointments were scheduled at times most convenient to me, and all directions were easy to follow. Dr. Dan Beers is the best! read more

I've used Dr. Beers since 2005 or so for glasses and contacts and have always been very happy with the results. This last fall I noticed that I'd had a major degradation in my vision post an auto accident. A checkup with Dr Beers showed that is developed cataracts in both eyes, and he recommended a lens replacement. I was concerned that I'd lose the close-up vision I was used to, and we consulted on the best option. He recommended a multi-focal lens, as opposed to the accommodating ones. The surgery was trivial - I was in and out in about 2 hours total, including prep and a little recovery time. I did develop a minor crease in the lens capsule which caused a "lens flare" effect, but Dr. Beers was able to fix that up in the office with a few minutes of work with a laser. Final result: 20/20 distance vision and 20/15 closeup vision in the eye I've gotten done. Can't wait to do the other later in the year. If you've developed cataracts, do not hesitate to get the surgery done -- and absolutely have Dr. Beers do it! read more

Excellent care and knowledgeable eyeglass specialists. I would readily recommend this business

I could not be more pleased with everyone at this office. My doctor is Dr. Beers and he is fantastic! He has been spot on with the vision needs for not only me, but my wife, mother, and father as well. We all feel comfortable, respected, and confident in Dr. Beers and his staff. On a side note, Brenda who fits you for your glasses is a breath of fresh air! Not only does she know her stuff inside out, but she has a wonderful personality and truly cares about making sure you get what is ideal for you. Thumbs up all the way around! read more

Dr Beers, Georgina, Paul and the rest of the staff were wonderful! My cataracts had gotten really bad and the lens replacement procedure and care at Peninsula Laser Eye Medical was just what I needed. I had shopped around a bit for the best surgeon I could find in the Bay Area and I found it with Dr. Beers. The whole procedure was well run, relatively simple, and my results were simply fantastic! With the panaflex lens I ended up with 20-15 to 20-20 vision and I no longer wear glasses at all. My vision feels like I just rolled back time to when I was in my 30s. The detail is all there, I can now read the fine print on prescriptions bottles. The whites are whiter and colors are more vivid. Can't thank Dr. Beers and the staff enough, these folks rock! read more

Dr. Dan Beers and his staff make an awesome ophthalmic team. A few months back I was diagnosed with high eye pressure in the 25-30 range, and was referred to Peninsula Laser Eye Medical group by my retina specialist for suspected Glaucoma evaluation. I have been seeing Dr. Dan Beers for the past few months and have been able to bring this down to the 17-23 range with eye drops and a laser surgery. I plan to continue a quarterly followup to review the progress and status further, and wanted to provide this high rating given the professional manner in which the Doctor and the entire staff at Peninsula Laser Eye team have been caring for my Ophthalmic needs. Thank you! read more

I've been coming here since 2008 and used to see Dr. Volpicelli. I have a rare cornea disease which he specialized in. He always took the time to chat with me and ask about my job and family. I appreciated the effort and it was a huge reason why I came back every year. Since he has left, this business has gone down-hill. I have been transferred to Dr. Liu for three years and there's no personal connection. It's a quick in and out of the room. I have to remind him to check my cornea. The new woman overseeing the optical department in the past couple of years has no patience with customers and cannot handle multiple people in the optical department. No one answers the phone anymore - it goes straight to voicemail and they call you back, but not right away - usually the next day. I'm currently shopping around for a new eye doctor. After 15 years, I no longer feel that Peninsula Laser Care takes the time to care about its patients. Dr. Volpicelli would be embarrassed if he saw how this place is run nowadays. read more

Got a very clear explanation and instructions on how to handle an eye condition that's been bothering me for months! The staff and physician were very very nice and knowledgeable, as well as timely. I'll be back! read more

If I could give Dr. Beers and his staff a rating higher than 5 stars I would. I recently had cataract surgery completed on both eyes by Dr. Beers. I have have been wearing glasses since I was 12 years old and my vision was growing cloudy. Just a few weeks later and now my vision is 20-20 in both eyes and I can see details I have never been able to see my whole life. It truly is a miracle. ( I did notice I have a few more wrinkles in my face than I though I had.) Dr. Beers does his work at the Peninsula Eye Surgery Center in Mountain View. This is a small facility (6-8 patients) dedicated to only eye surgeries. It is easy-in and easy-out. I can't say enough about the care I got while I was there and I even counted more nurses than patients. Prior to the operation, Dr. Beers stopped by and explained exactly what the surgery would involve and put me at ease. The whole process was very straightforward. They gave me eye drops to numb the eye as well as relieve any pressure. Shortly after, I was given a valium to calm my nerves. Just prior to the surgery, an IV was painlessly inserted so I could be given an anesthesia during the operation. During the procedure I was awake and responding to Dr. Beers questions and instructions. The surgery took a total of about 15 minutes and after a short recovery, I was on my way home. The whole process was less than 2 hours. The post-op care has been wonderful. My main tip would be have a premium Toric lens implanted. It costs a bit more but is well worth the price if you can afford it. Thank you Dr. Beers for letting me see better than I have my entire life. read more

I scheduled an appointment two weeks in advance to see their doctor. I called in to reschedule as I became ill. The receptionist tells me I don't have any appointment on the date I schedule and tells me that my appointment is the day after. I said that is impossible because I already have other appointments that week. Then she reads a note that says my appointment was rescheduled because the doctor had a surgery. However, they said that they called me to a phone number completely unrelated to mine and that the number was disconnected. Obviously, it wasn't my number, but they had however rescheduled my appointment and only they knew about the change. I never got any notification and no attempt to rectify anything. In fact, the receptionist made it sound as if I had given them the wrong number. Lack of communication, professionalism, and zero apologies for their mistake. I can give a zero here that's why I give a one. read more

1. Dr Beers: Great results from Lasik in 2000. Lasted for years until I got long in the tooth 2. Dr. Liu: Great Friday responsiveness to Friday after-hours call regarding my husband's eye trauma. Dr. Liu returned the call promptly, called again while we were still on the road and made sure he saw us without a moment of delay. read more

I went to Dr. Beers 13+ years ago to have Lasik performed. At that time I was 20/80 and 20/100. He corrected me to 20/20. I had no side effects and have been enjoying life without glasses or contacts since. Dr. Beers did an excellent job of explaining the process and what I could expect. I know people can be apprehensive and having something done to your eyes scares many folks. I was the same. I am so happy to have done it. Yesterday, I went in for a check up. My vision through age has regressed but it's still 20/40 and in no need of reading glasses. Dr. Beers said there was no need for glasses and my eyes were very healthy. I highly recommend Dr. Beers. He's outstanding! read more

Dr. Liu is phenomenal. Lasik is an incredibly invasive and daunting procedure, but luckily for me, Dr. Liu eased my feelings of anxiety and provided me with a wonderfully seamless lasik experience and fantastic visual acuity that ultimately improved the quality of my life. Dr. Liu's immaculate attention to detail, masterful understanding of ophthalmology, professional bedside manner, clear and concise interpersonal communication skills, and tenacious desire to provide the absolute best patient care clearly distinguish him from other practitioners in his field. I highly recommend him for all your eye-related ailments! read more

I have used Dr. Beers for years. As my reading vision has slowly gotten worse, he's prescribed stronger prescriptions. I usually buy them from his rather expensive eyewear shop, for convenience. I saw him recently to find out about getting a monovision contact lens for reading. A woman in my office uses this product, and although she said it was tough to get used to, now she loves it. So I got my mono vision lens. Here's what I'm annoyed about: After he examines you and writes your prescription, Dr. Beers then gives you the option of having his nurse assistant give you a 10-minute lens-usage "class." You panic, wondering how you'll figure the lenses out without a class. Then the non-doctor assistant teaches you how to put lenses in and out, and works with you till you get it right. THE DOCTOR THEN CHARGES $85 FOR THIS ADDITIONAL SERVICE THAT HE DIDN'T PERFORM. Ridiculous. My insurance had already paid him in full for his initial exam This is a perfect example of a doc gouging customers for every last nickel and dime he can get out of them. The lens didn't work out for me anyway and I went back to reading glasses. I don't blame that on him--the glasses just work better for me. I'll continue to go in for my annual exam for reading glasses, but that's all. Am going to buy the glasses elsewhere. read more

I recently had the PRK procedure and it was the best decision I've ever made. Dr.Beers is awesome along with the whole staff. Georgina is an angel. I'm so thankful for her. Not only was she super informative but very kind and comforting throughout the actual procedure. If you're looking into getting LASIK or PRK look no further. It can be a nerve racking process but Dr.Beers and his team of professionals allow you to be confident in the life changing decision you're about to make. read more

I would give this place negative stars if I could. For more information on my negative experience with Dr. Beers, check out my review for him: http://www.yelp.com/biz/lK2f9PcFbVat37_fxEQYqg#hrid:FNf_hVEzsCzgWILczc9xjw Like the other reviewer, I could see clearly within a couple of hours of the surgery. I was ecstatic, and it was short-lived... the rest turned into an horrible experience that will probably never be rectified. Aside from the permanent eye damage, my general experience with this office is that the desk folks and assistants are generally nice. However, I think that there is an emphasis on getting as many bodies in as possible. I once waited in a room for 45 minutes, during which I could hear another 2 other disgruntled patients arguing with Dr. Beers. The walls there are thin, and if not for that one visit, I wouldn't have known that I wasn't the only one. When Dr. Beers finally got to me, he spent like 3 minutes with me and left. If your LASIK surgery goes well and they don't have to put any effort into your post-LASIK care, then you'll be just fine. However, if something goes wrong, be prepared to be abandoned and treated like it's your fault. read more

I have gone to this practice for many years and stay with it because I have always been happy with the care I receive. There is very little turn over with staff. My experience has been that the medical assistants, office staff and physicians are extremely friendly and helpful. I especially appreciate Brenda and Patty in their optical shop. I have appreciated their help in choosing lenses and repairing and replacing them when needed. They make it easy! Brenda is also a fantastic teacher when it comes to learning how to put in and remove contact lenses - something I found to be more difficult than I had anticipated. I actually look forward to interacting with them and always feel comfortable asking for their help when I need it. Plus the shop's satisfaction guarantee can't be beat! read more

So, Dr. Volpicelli is amazing. The whole process went to well. The first couple minutes Gigi took care of me and talked to my parents about the whole drops situation. Tear drops ever 30 mins first 24 hours, Vicodin if I'm in pain, antibiotic drops, the whole thing. They wiped my eyes with alcohol swabs and put a net around my hair. After that, Gigi walked me to the room and made me lay down. She asked if i wanted a blanket, i said yes b/c it was quite cold. The whole process was really easy "just look at the blinking orange light the whole time". Dr was very nice and told me every single step that was happening. Before he even did the cutting he made me listen to the sound so i wouldn't freak out. I mean, i still did, but Gigi was there to hold my hand and encourage me that everything was almost done. After, everything was really foggy, but i could see! I was a -5.25 in my right eye and -4.75 on my left. I don't know what i actually have now since my follow up appointment is at 4:30 (but I'm using the comp. the next day, so woo!). We will see what the final say is. read more

Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Mountain View, California

Where do I start? Two years ago I abandoned Blue Cross (which was ripping me off) because I reached Medicare age. I was wary of being on Medicare because of the horror stories I have heard of how Medicare patients are regarded as lepers by doctors. But in the two years I've been on Medicare I've found that none of the doctors I've had to see (podiatrist, gastroenterologist, and now ophthalmologist) have treated me as persona non grata. To the contrary, they've all treated me with open arms. Now, to the specifics of this Yelp review regarding Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group here in Mountain View, the entire staff has treated me with cheerfulness (which fires up my insufferable joker character) and Dr. Liu is a great guy and on-point professional. I have moved my manufacturing facilities to Carson City, Nevada and I will be moving to Reno this coming fall. But I intend to come back here for my eye appointments with Dr. Liu. He's well worth the trip!! read more

Dr. Beers is great and so is his entire staff at Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group. I was referred to this place by a surgeon friend who used Dr. Beers' partner, Dr. Volpicelli, for his LASIK. However, Dr. Volpicelli went on sabattical shortly after I made an appointment for a LASIK consultation. I elected to keep my appointment as Dr. Beers performed Dr. Volpicelli's LASIK and vice versa; so, I thought they must be very similar. As a background, I went to two other places in the Bay Area (Stanford and PVI in the city). I was impressed by all three, while all have different prices and all had different processes to approaching the same general procedure, promising very similar results. I elected to have my LASIK procedure with Dr. Beers and my overall satisfaction is very high. My vision was pretty bad (on my contacts, roughly -5.50 in both eyes). I elected to have the IntraLASIK procedure (all laser, blade-free) and am now seeing 20/20 a week later. I went in as blind as a bat and less than 8 minutes later I could legally pass a drivers test. Very, very cool. Overall, fantastic experience and I would recommend Dr. Beers to anyone who asked me about having LASIK. I also appreciated that Dr. Beers still has the microkeratome blade as an option, which is 100% a viable, safe, and excellent option for LASIK procesures, regardless of what some shops might tell you. For me, I just chose to use the all-laser approach. I was very impressed with Dr. Beers and Georgina, the person who walked me through the process, got me ready, and even held my hand during the procedure. Excellent bed-side manner and very supportive. I would definitely recommend Dr. Beers and Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group to any friends and/or family who are looking for LASIK surgeons in the Bay Area. I am 110% satisfied. read more

Long review on how I chose a Lasik doctor. I ended up using Dr. Faktorovich at Pacific Vision Institute - see my other review. I've thought about Lasik for a few years and finally decided to take the plunge when a number of friends had good experiences. Plus I read that NASA approved it. I've worn glasses since the 3rd grade and have never liked contacts either. My myopia was about -6 with moderate astigmatism. Starting in Nov 2007, I asked friends for referrals and did a lot of research. I'm Type A and since these are my eyes, I did not want to take a chance. I considered 5 doctors total and had actual consultations with 3. The 3 were Dr. Scott Hyver, Dr. Faktorovich in SF and Dr. Beers in Mt View. I also considered Dr. Goodman in San Francisco but decided not to go with him because he was the most extreme in cost as well as hardest to schedule a consultation. A colleague also had her eyes done by a Dr. Newman who has offices in Hercules and Sacramento. He was significantly cheaper at ~$2000 but my research on him also indicated he was the least experienced and least qualified in terms of Board certifications, etc. Plus his office never called me back. Dr. Scott Hyver's office was the most like a cattle ranch with patients coming in and out. Plus I did not have any immediate friends/colleagues who had used him. Finally, Dr Hyver did not use Intralase and his website actually has an article arguing about whether Intralase is more effective / less risky. My 3rd and last consultation was with Dr. Beers in Mountain View. Several friends had used him over the years and their myopia ranged from -3 to -9 so I figured he would be a good bet for me. However, given the long drive Mt View is from where I live, I asked to get a quote on the phone to justify my drive. The sales associate, Jessica, was a bit reluctant to give me much over the phone and started the quote at $5,900 but with VSP she brought it down 5%. I then asked for an additional referral discount given the # of friends who had used Dr. Beers. The next day she called back and gave me a 10% discount and said that was exceptional. So the following day I made the drive down. Their office was more utilitarian and less private with an adjacent optical shop. I noticed that they were also offering a raffle for a $4,500 travel voucher to any future patients you referred. The sales associate, Jessica, also turned out to be my optometrist who did the initial tests with me. Their equipment is fairly standard but sits in a large open space - hence the feeling that it's less private. For the actual consultation with Dr. Beers, I had a small private room and Jessica stayed in the room. Dr. Beers has a decent bedside manner but certainly seemed a bit more tired. He answered my questions competently but tended to not make direct eye contact. Perhaps that's just a slight mannerism but it made me question his sincerity. (Yes, I mentioned I'm Type A - but hey, these are my eyes!). Dr Beers dilated my eyes with drops and left me for a while as my pupils dilated. During this time, Jessica started her sell and asked if I wanted to schedule a time. I started my negotiations and said my VSP insurance said average discounts were 15%. Jessica said she needed check (i.e., car dealer talking to manager negotiation method). When she came back, she gave me the 15%. I then mentioned that my friends who had gotten their Lasik done were charged $3900 because they got additional discounts for paying cash. I asked for the same. Jessica again said she had to check their records to confirm. When she came back, she said $3900 was only for wavefront Lasik not with Intralase. But if I did it with Intralase she could charge me $4500 if I paid cash only, not check. I said I'd think about it. When Dr. Beers came back to check my dilated pupils, he said I was a good candidate and that either Intralase or not were fine. At this point, I tried my last negotiation tactic and said I noticed their $4500 travel voucher raffle for giving them referrals. I said I work in marketing, and liked their tactic and thought it was smart. I asked for an additional discount since I know a lot of people and would help market or refer colleagues to them. This made Dr. Beers uncomfortable (Jessica was in the room as well), and he said $4500 was the best he could do, but he would honor the price for anyone I referred to him. So my deliberations were down to two: Dr. Faktorovich & Dr. Beers. The $800 price difference was significant: Dr. Faktorovich at $5300 and Dr Beers at $4500. These are my eyes so it wasn't just about price. My decisions were first based on referrals and competence. In the end, what tipped my decision was a friend who told me to call 2 renowned doctors in LA. Both offices of Dr. Assil of the Assil Eye Institute of Beverly Hills and Dr. Maloney of Los Angeles referred me to Pacific Vision Institute and Dr Faktorovich. read more

I think this is the best place to go in the Bay Area if you're going to have LASIK eye surgery. Dr. Beers is an expert at performing this surgery, and both my wife and I had him perform our LASIK surgeries with excellent results. I've only used them for LASIK and a follow-up eye exam and prescription reading glasses seven years after having the LASIK surgery, so I can't really comment on them for other eyecare experiences, other than I didn't have any problem with my follow-up exam. My wife is a nurse at El Camino Hospital, and before having LASIK she asked the surgeons there who they used for LASIK surgery, and that's how we chose Dr. Beers. My wife's eyesight was so bad that even high-index lenses in glasses were Coke-bottle thick and heavy. She was legally blind without glasses or contacts. After years of this, she went to having 20/20 uncorrected vision after LASIK surgery. I'd been a glasses-wearer for more than twenty years with horizontal corneal astigmatism. I had Dr. Beers evaluate me to see if I was a candidate for LASIK, and after my exam, he simply asked me "Well, would you like to get rid of your glasses?" We scheduled my LASIK surgery, I took the prescribed Valium before my appointment, and the procedure was completely painless and took just ten minutes. In 24 hours I could see perfectly, with post-care consisting of artificial tears eye-drops for a few months. After seven years in my mid-forties, my eye's lens is stiffening up, so I now use reading glasses to read close fine-print, and I've developed a very slight astigmatism in one eye. I went back to Peninsula, and we opted for prescription reading glasses. Again, there were no issues with my exam or ordering my glasses. If you're considering LASIK surgery, I highly recommend Peninsula Laser Eye Medical Group and Dr. Beers. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Mark Volpicelli M.D.! I am stoked! It is pretty amazing when I open my eyes in the morning and I can see and read clearly what's on the bathroom counter. One of the BEST investments I ever made. I owe it all to Dr. Volpicelli. He listened and understood what was important to me and delivered. He, by far, surpassed my expectations. Oh by the way, he and his staff are most professional people. Shout out to Paul, and Erin. read more

I was recommended by primary care physician to this place because I had diabetes and he wanted me to get checked if my eyes have any retinal damage. I deeply regret going to this place. These guys did full eye examination and they charges by insurance close to 600 to 800$. They were neither ready to take order for contact lenses nor they were willing to give prescription for me to get contact lenses done outside. When i gave order on january first week, they asked me to send prescription provided by my previous doctor. I sent them but they did not do anything. They ignored my repeated emails and phone calls for 3 months. They also sent me extra 50$ bill I owe to them on April. I was using blurred contact lenses for 3 to 4 months because of them. I was really really getting anxious because I cannot go to another doctor because my insurance wont cover it and another thing in my back of my mind was I am being cheated. Finally i walked into place, despite my worries of covid. I mentioned to them that after 3 to 4 months, have not got prescription. Then a lady who was probably a manager of that place, got me prescription, which was exactly same as the one i got from my previous doctor and had emailed to them. Finally relieved now I got my lenses done outside and deeply disappointed with the service provided by this horrible place. read more

I had the most amazing cataract surgery with vision correction success with Dr. Beers and his team! I have been extremely near-sighted with very high astigmatism all my life which did not give me many options for vision (I was never able to qualify for LASIK in my younger days & my vision was never that clear even with contacts, etc-) However, through Dr. Beers' most amazing surgical hands, I started seeing the world SO clearly even from the same day of the surgery! I had my right eyes done first, and even with just one eye, I was seeing better than with both of my eyes in contacts. I now have both eyes done, it's only one day after my second surgery, and I still can't believe my own eyes! :) It is truly one of the biggest miracles of my life time, and I will be forever grateful to Dr. Beers, his wonderful staff & every step of the process - the entire process was extremely comfortable, pleasant, and the results just amazing! To everyone who has a chance to correct their visions through cataract surgery with Dr. Beers, I'd say, "do not worry & do not wait!" read more
