Everyone is so kind, informative, patient, and professional. Literally from the front desk staff, to their residents, and doctors. I have been seen by Dr. Hwang for my regular eye exams and was recently seen by Dr. Mao for my first ever contacts appointment. She was very kind, supportive, and patient with me during my appointment. I was able to get my contacts in (YAY!) and was provided with lots of information regarding my contacts, some tips & advice, and was told if I needed guidance to call the office at any time during their office hours. This is a wonderful place and you will always receive great care here. Thank you for the excellent service over the years!

Calling them and explaining my situation was easy. I was able to schedule an appointment not only for me but also my husband. Arriving and parking was simple. There's plenty of parking spots in the lot. I felt safe walking into the building. There was security cameras and vocal prompts. The ladies working the front desk were welcoming and nice. I was able to fill out paperwork easily. All of the fellow Kristina's (Christina's) there were very kind and helpful. I was impressed with how much equipment they had to test and examine eyes. My eyes are specifically sensitive to light so everyone who worked with me including my optometrist, Jennifer Mao helped and was kind during all of my breaks and tears. My husband went to his appointment later that week and overall we are thoroughly impressed and are happy new patients.

Update due to Dr. Cherry's response below:…read more I do have vision insurance, I would not have been able to have the initial consults and surgery without insurance. I did have the eye exam after the surgery and a prescription was generated, Dr. Cherry even acknowledged that there was a change from my prior prescription.

A report has already been filed with the FTC as this is fraud on patients.

Whole Eye Department under supervision of Dr. Nguyen is doing the Best and Great Job! Everyone in his team is very kind, careful, and very professional!

In addition, I strongly believe that Dr.Nguyen definitely and irrevocably deserves to have a promotion and to be in the first row of Dignity Health Medical Foundation. We wish all of you, Dignity Health Medical Foundation, Good Luck and Prosperity in your business and personal life! Sincerely, Vadim Sukhanov & Yelena Silkina

I highly recommend Dr. Filbert Nguyen of Woodland Healthcare Eye Institute for cataract surgery…read more Dr. Nguyen operated on both my eyes. Dr. Nguyen is highly skilled. The operations were painless and there was no complication. Dr. Nguyen is a great communicator. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions. I have no doubt that he had other patients to take care of, but he never appeared rushed when he was with me. Dr. Nguyen did not pressure me to choose expensive procedures or expensive lenses. He agreed with my choice of standard intraocular lenses focused at infinity. Dr. Nguyen was careful. He had a comprehensive list of do's and don'ts. I followed his instructions and had no complications. Before I had the cataract surgeries, I had trouble seeing even with eyeglasses. I also had double vision. After the operation, I can now see clearly at all distances.

She was good with my son and while I feel she over tested me for glaucoma (with no family history) I went along with it every 6 months even though the test always came back normal. When my income dropped I qualified for a lower premium through Covered California, the same Blue Shield PPO insurance where she is listed as a provider. Blue Shield assured me it is the same coverage so I was shocked when I went for my exam after paying the $250 for the "administration fee" and the was charged $415 for the exam as she denied taking my revised insurance. So, basically $665 for one appointment! Needless to say, I found a new doctor. They take my insurance no problem, no annual processing fee. I should note, that my other doctors have no issue with my insurance. The new place I found also charges half what Dr. Shimokaji charges for a refraction prescription. While I had a nice long run with Dr. Shimokaji, she just priced me out of her practice. I wish I had searched for someone sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money.

I cannot recommend Dr. Lim highly enough!!! 17 thumbs up!!!…read more She is a miracle worker. I was the biggest scaredy cat about getting my cataract surgery done. I have been wearing glasses since the third grade and I am extremely near-sighted. One of my biggest fears is losing my sight. Dr. Lim made me feel extremely confident about getting the surgery. She explained the surgery in detail and she offered excellent advice about the right type of cataract lenses for me. The surgery itself was extremely quick and painless. I felt like I was at a Laserium show at a planetarium and not in an operating room. There are a number of follow-up appointments scheduled for the day and week after surgery. Both Dr. Chan and Dr. Zhang were caring, knowledgeable, and friendly at these follow-up appointments. The Walnut Creek office staff is also wonderful, friendly, and efficient. Being the nervous Nelly that I am, I did call them more than a few times with my worries. I am now seeing 20/15 out of my distance eye. I can read 4 point type out of my reading eye. I feel I should be on a lecture tour, wearing a Super Hero cape to match my new bionic eyes, touting the wonders of cataract surgery with Dr. Lim. The only regret I have is enduring blurry and dimming vision for a year because I put off my cataract surgery because I was so scared.

Her specialty is corneal implants. She loves what she does and she loves to give the miracle of perfect sight to her patients. I'm 77 now and one day after the surgeries my eyes tested 20/20 & 20/24. Three year later they still test the same. I'm so grateful to her! It is not surprising to me that she worked with Dr Vastine, the Errol Flynn of eye surgeons. And she was referred to me by Dr Litwin, one of the best. Don't even think about it. Get on her waiting list today.
