Today I saw Dr. Jay Wang at North California Retina Vitreous Associates for a new concern in my…read moreleft eye, which previously had a retinal detachment repaired with a scleral buckle. My surgeon left Stanford and I have been doing my annual visits with Dr wang from last 3 years. Given my history, I was understandably anxious about new visual symptoms. Dr. Wang's credentials and expertise are impressive, and I appreciated that he was able to examine my retina and confirm that he did not see any new tears, holes, or signs of retinal detachment. But the check was barely even for a minute. I left the appointment feeling that I would have benefited from more explanation and discussion. My symptom was new and unusual, and because it was in the same eye that had previously detached, I had many questions about possible causes and what I should watch for going forward. The visit felt very brief, and I would have appreciated a little more time to understand his assessment and next steps. I respect Dr. Wang's expertise and the reassurance that my retina looked stable. My feedback is that spending a few additional minutes explaining findings and addressing patient concerns would make the experience even better, especially for patients with a history of retinal surgery who may come in feeling anxious. Overall, I appreciate his knowledge and I hope future visits allow for a little more patient discussion and education.

AMR DESSOUKI Be alerted of this person's volatile behavior…read more Another alarming concern is his cleanliness, using dirty medical equipment. There are many elderly patients who endure many hardships and to have this man treat the elderly in this manner is unacceptable and heart wrenching to realize bad doctors are really out there! Hopefully one day he will be removed from practicing medicine and he realizes his mind set needs to be reevaluated and utilized in an environment that doesn't involve seeing patients (no pun intended but indeed very fitting) to ensure no one else has to endure the potential infectious illnesses that he may cause as well as his baffling disturbing behavior. Unfortunately he is the reason people fear going to a doctor. Never until now have I seen and felt an intense toxic environment at a place where it SHOULD BE safe and helpful. One bad apple can certainly spoil the entire establishment! All the other doctors should really stop, look, listen and pay extra attention to the way their business is being run starting at the front desk (no complaints there, but observed unhappy workers, over scheduled patients leaving upset) Hope this review helps others and if you witness something even if didn't happen directly to you, please help by reporting/sharing it.

Let me start off by saying, that Doctor Chow is very nice, easy going, and he is extremely competent in this abilities. He has the latest technology, he has multiple offices, and all of my interactions with him have been very positive. He is very firmly in command in the operating room, I was always extremely comfortable with his technical abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism. He is hands down, a great Doctor, and fantastic at what he does. I would imagine he was at the top of his class(s), I would bet money on that. I always felt comfortable with Dr Chow right from the beginning, and that feeling was only reinforced stronger with each visit. His office staff are nothing but the best, very professional, kind, attentive and everyone I met and interacted with was always great! I highly recommend Dr. Clement Chow, and the Retinal Diagnostic Center!

There are 7 specialists on site . The location is right next to El Camino Real Hospital in a separate medical building .

I've been here 3 times now and had to leave before the appointment was finished because we were here from 1:30pm-4:30pm. I think they overbook patients.

He asks for any issues and/or questions I have before getting me on the treatment for the day.

I got Dr Chen's phone number and office location from my insurance website indicating he is within network. Went for the appointment and the front office took a copy of my insurance card, then ask for a co-payment upfront. This indicated to me that the appointment was covered by my insurance. When it came to scheduling for surgery, the nurse did not bother to check whether the medical providers and procedures were covered by my insurance, nor tell me if the cost will or won't be covered by my insurance. I canceled my surgery one day before the procedure. Then came the billing for the office visit. I provided the billing office with what I pulled off of my insurance website, which is using the NPI of Dr Chen. But they insisted on using Retinal Diagnostics NPI, which is not in my insurance network. What a mess! If their medical providers are going to use their phone and address, you'd think that Retinal Diagnostics will coordinate with their physicians to make sure any services provided by their providers at their site would be listed in insurance website. Don't use this center. They DO NOT CARE if their services are covered in your insurance plan! The staff at the institution I finally had my surgery performed were diligent in checking first with my insurance plan before they book the procedure. Not Retinal Diagnostics.

Saw a dr there for a torn retina in left eye. At followup visit the medical assistant showed me to…read morethe room, told me they were testing only my left eye, I did the reading of the letters on the wall with left eye, then she said she was putting numbing drops in my left eye, then went to right eye and put a drop in my right eye. I asked her why was she putting drops in my right eye when we're only examining my left eye. She said we're doing both eyes (only left eye was dilated at first visit). My right eye quickly became blurry. Long story short, she is incompetent and should not be working in the medical field. She put a numbing drop in my left eye, a dilating drop in my right eye (which wasn't supposed to be dilated) and told me the dilating drop in my right eye was a numbing drop. She didn't put dilating drops in my left eye which needed them. She had no clue what she was doing. She didn't even apologize, just said indifferently "It was a mistake."(Numbing drops are used first to prevent the dilating drops from potentially stinging.) It was very scary. If they hire someone with her incompetency how do I know all the medical assistants aren't just like her and equally incompetent? The doctors are SPECIALISTS and this is the type of incompetency I had to deal with. I will find another retina specialist who has competent staff.
