When he finally comes into the exam room, he dies not spend an appropriate amount of time with the patient and is very short to answer questions. Yesterday, my 89 years old dad who has Alzheimer, was desperate asking me to leave while we were waiting for the doctor as many other times. I calmed him down, asked the reception about the delay, kept waiting, saw the doctor leave an exam room but getting into another one, decided to wait until the 60th minute and left. I missed 1 hour 45 minutes unpaid work time to bring my dad to his appointment. Dr. Cheng is not respectful of patients and rides.

Wow what a strange, disappointing experience today was. After being a patient of Dr. Allaman's…read moresince 2016, I was treated like a second-class citizen since, as I was clearly told during today's appointment, "Dr. Alllaman ONLY does surgeries". Since I've already had cataract surgery in both eyes, I am no longer of use? I am 65 and have not had my eyeglass prescription checked in 2 years, but when I was FINALLY seated (30 minutes late), the technician came at me with dilatating drops. I stopped her because even I know that would happen AFTER checking for a potential new prescription. At this point, I was ushered to another building, to a dirty office to see a nice old doctor, who completed my exam, gave me the new prescription, then led me BACK to Allaman's office, where I had to pay $100 more than expected. Still trying to figure how what just happened, will find another doctor next year!

Allaman Eye Care & Associates is truly an incredible ophthalmology practice that has given me…read moreabsolutely marvelous eye care for several years. Dr. Allaman is a wonderful surgeon. I have had two cataract surgeries and my vision is fantastic. He also put a stent in each eye, which is a duct that relieves eye pressure (glaucoma) - now both eyes are normal pressure. Dr. Allaman is very pleasant and polite, but very professional and gets right down to business with very little extraneous chit-chat, as he is incredibly busy. He has an absolutely phenomenal staff. They are warm, kind, and very friendly, but incredibly skilled and good at what they do. I usually have questions that I forget to ask when I'm in the office, but a call to the office later, gets you a quick and friendly answer. It is amazing how many people Dr. Allaman sees in a day. He has five exam rooms that are usually full, but has adequate staff to go through initial exam procedures for each patient. Even with the mass volume of patients the most I think I have ever waited was 10 to 15 minutes. I am extremely thankful to Dr. Allaman for giving me the gift of good vision.

That scared me as he had not yet looked at my eyes. Then he said, you have cloudy lenses due to cataract. I asked when I might need surgery and he said it depends on how well you need to see. Something didn't feel right about what he was saying. I got a second opinion and the second doctor, not in the Bay Eye Medical group, said you have a trace amount of cataract and you wouldn't even qualify for surgery. So, I won't be going back to Dr. Hsei.

The Intra-Ocular Premium lens for mid and long range vision was a good choice for me, as it corrected the astigmatism and cataracts, resulting in 20/20 vision. I was nervous approaching the first surgery, but "piece of cake" was very accurate. The sedative was designed to keep me comfortable and I did not feel anything during the procedure. I could not see anything except the lights I was supposed to follow. The day after the second procedure, I am using the computer and reading my Kindle without glasses. I plan to get reading glasses to read my newspaper each day, however I can read up-close pretty well. I am so glad I did this with Dr. Allaman and his Team.

Dr. Ghaderi has been fantastic. There is so much I appreciate about her, in our first meeting she did bring up the point of having the right doctor/patient match, which I did not read as a dislike of me but, an excellent way to start what is essentially a long term very personal relationship. I have seen Dr. Ghaderi several times the past year, every visit has been on time, comprehensive, helpful and ends with a plan and often a plan B as well. She has a balance of traditional and nontraditional treatments and on more than one occasion has sought outside advice for my situation. I am so grateful to have her as my doctor.
