The staff is ok there was a receptionist that worked there a few years back she was very nice but not there anymore.

Be warned about this doctor. 1st thing was he advised me to have a "special" TRULIGN cataract…read moresurgery that would give me depth of field -- -- for an extra $2500. (Medicare covers regular cataract surgery at no cost.) Coming from a tradition that has great respect for doctors, I agreed to it. After the surgery, when it was clear that there was to be no depth of field, I did the research (I am a PhD) and discovered there was already evidence that this surgery was unlikely to work on seniors. Second, he gave me no advise about macular degeneration though my records clearly indicated that I had the dry version. Third, years later, last month when I made an appointment to address the blob-like floaters that continue to drift across that eye, he was so behind with appointments (over an hour) that I fnally had to leave. Wow!

I highly recommend Dr Fante. He recently performed cataract surgery on my right eye which restored…read moreclear 20/20 vision. He performed laser surgery to correct an astigmatism in the same eye and at the same time as the cataract surgery. The surgery was quick, highly successful and I experienced almost no pain in in surgery or during the following week after surgery. The morning after surgery I was seeing very clearly out of my right eye. I'm returning for laser / cataract surgery on my left eye, with the confidence of knowing I can trust Dr Fante and can expect wonderful results. I first saw Dr Fante several years ago for a condition that was extremely rare and hard to diagnose. Dr Fante was extremely helpful in the process of diagnosing the cause of the eye symptoms, which included temporary blindness in one eye over the course of several months. Dr Fante followed my case through by referring me to other doctors who helped determine the exact cause of my problem. The final result was 100% restoration of my 20/20 vision. The office staff and medical technicians are all very professional and friendly at Sansum Clinic (now Sutter Health).

My appt was at 315 and was relieved I could do all the paperwork online because I can't use right arm and I am right handed. Well...no. when I got there they threw a bunch of papers at me to fill out even though it was obvious I was in sling and couldn't fill it out. They offered no help whatsoever and my friend had to fill out papers. The papers were weird. A questionnaire about drug addiction mental illness ect. I have neither of those issues. They could have just asked. I went in at 345. I am in a lot of pain so waiting was unbearable however the medical assistant was lovely and I had hope. Finally what seemed forever the Dr came in. I sat over an hour watched him type. And type and type while in agony. I told him narcotics given in er made me sick didn't want to take them no alternative given. No exam given. Nothing. He barely spoke to me. He scheduled an M.R.I. which I told him I had 4 metal clips but he ignored it. Thankfully radiology canceled it today they knew I could not do it so in my opinion the entire day wasted. I walked out of that place at 5:15. 2 hours sitting in moderate pain for nothing. They said they referred me to orthopedic MD but nothing surfaced there either. I think they cater to addictions etc. I would not go back with medical problem. I feel I was kicked to curb because of my insurance. Will not return
