I basically suffer from a unique eye disease that Dr. Khetpal helps me to treat. I really haven't had any flair ups in awhile but I still visit with him regularly to monitor my condition. Every time I come in the Front office staff is always very friendly and then the technical staff who help run the tests are familiar with us and always ask how things are going and what we have been doing like vacations. And finally after running the eye tests and dilation I then see Dr. Khetpal and asks if I have had any issues and then we catch up on what we have done. But really pleased to have found him as he is one of the few eye doctors that can help treat my condition.

But I got in a lot of extra steps for my daily count. I arrived a little early for my annual macular degeneration checkup - no change in over 2 years, so I'll keep taking Areds2 vitamins daily. The doctor goes by whatever her assistants inform her of, so if the assistants don't get it right, the doctor doesn't diagnose properly. Today I lightly mentioned a scar (I have had for 35 years) that has changed a shade darker. That was misinterpreted as I have floaters. They even gave me a printed out paper on floaters. So 3 hours of dilation and $250 out of pocket and a diagnosis of something I do not have. At least I got the photos taken so I can compare to my previous and best set. 3 star rating because of the photo quality. The assistants and support employees are very nice.

Leaving here feeling really good about and confident in my previous retinal treatment with Dr Rostami. Kudos to him on his good work! However going forward I will be moving on over to this office. Here's why: *friendly efficient staff *very "dialed in" system here (very little waiting) *I was in and out of office in under 1 hour *Dr Choi has excellent bedside manner *Super knowledgeable about all areas effecting the retina and mine specifically *He put my big scary fears at ease *He explained things to me about the "trifecta" or perfect storm as he calls it in regards to my left eye. *This office also has a team of surgeons just like Dr Choi, season experienced and highly knowledgeable. *Dr Choi also discouraged me from Lasik with my left eye - too risky on that left eye. *Told me not to try and correct the floaters too risky Bottom line getting older sucks, being very near sighted sucks but at least I have Retina Specialists and Dr Choi in my corner! Feeling thankful! Should you choose to come here I know you're in great hands!

They didn't even open the front window to provide patients with forms until AFTER 10-15 mins after we signed the sign-in sheet. Thankfully, I already filled out the forms online, so I only had to wait an hour. :/ After waiting an hour to be called back, the gal taking images of my eyes on the OCT machine didn't even wait until the light was green. It was mostly blue or red when she snapped a shot. The medical records gal was very unkind as well. She claimed some of my meds were not real meds because they were "just over-the-counter vitamins". When I told her 2 were treatment for severe Vitamin B12 and D deficiencies, she just said, "Oh". Not, "I'm sorry." Just, a callous "Oh". When we got to allergies, she claimed my allergy to a med wasn't a real allergy. So when I told her that that's what the hospital staff told me when I was treated for the allergic reaction to the med, I just got another uncaring "Oh". Dr. Santosh Patel was no better. He decided since I only have blurry vision and difficulty reading and making out details, but don't have light flickers or floaters, then there's no way I have a macular hole. This, BEFORE he even looked at the images of my eyes or reviewed my medical records. Then he belittled my Optometrist saying, "I can't believe he thought you had a hole in your right eye when you obviously have blood leakage". I told him, "I can believe it...because it was my LEFT eye he saw the hole in, not my right." When I asked him why I have bleeding in the retinal part of my right eye, he said it's either due to my diabetes or hypertension. When I told him I have neither. He said, "Oh, then there's no reason for the bleeding since you don't have either, and you're in perfectly good health otherwise." I said, "Really? Because I've had 13 surgeries, 3 in the past year and the most recent was my 3rd heart surgery, which I had a month ago. So do you think the bleeding might be due to any of my other health issues or meds, like Eliquis?" He said, "No, it's nothing to be concerned about. It'll resolve itself." Dr. Santosh Patel told me to return in 6 months to recheck. Not happening. STAY. AWAY. FROM. THIS. OFFICE.
