I had the best possible experience with cataract surgery. Dr. Vazeen's high standard of quality was evident everywhere, from meticulous upkeep of facilities to the dedicated and skilled staff in the office and surgical center. And the care was human-scale, not aloof and disingenuous. I've never had a better health care experience and my new eyesight is fantastic. I'm so grateful for his service to the community. read more

Dr Vazeen just did surgery on my eye for Cataracts. I have been seeing this doctor for the last 15 years and been happy. He did surgery on my one eye back several years ago after I got Cataracts from having my eye repaired from an accident (kicked in the eye). This 2nd eye was doing well until recently and so I had to have this one taken care of. They explain everything ahead of time and give you everything you need. They got me in fairly quick, I was worried I would have to wait months. I will continue to go to him at his practice. My wife started out with Dr. Vazeen but somehow over the years got transferred to a different doctor in the office. Not sure how this happened but every time she goes in now she has the other doctor. I just think they need to be more transparent when you make the appointment as to which doctor you will be working with. She needs the same surgery I have had and will be getting it done with the other doctor in the office, sure hope that person is as good as Doctor Vazeen. I have friends that go here to and they told my wife that Dr. Vazeen would only hire the best. That's a comfort for her. read more

I should have completed this at least a year ago. I had a most wonderful experience receiving the surgery both eyes have been excellent. My son-in-law said he barely got back with his Starbucks expecting to wait but no as soon as he sat down I was done. He hopes when he needs help he will be treated as well. All processes were explained and I felt relaxed in trusting everyone around me. Much thanks by the way I don't need glasses to drive a big YES for me. Rosie read more

Dr. Vazeen failed to wait the requisite time for my numbing shot to take effect; therefore, 80% or more of my cyst removal procedure was felt wholly and completely by me. I cried, grimaced, moaned through clenched teeth, hyperventilated, and nearly ripped the belt off my jeans. I repeatedly said "I feel the cut." I also fully felt the impact of the cauterization, the first one. Imagine that. He finally gave me a second anesthetizing shot in a different area almost at the end of the procedure, and I thankfully did not feel the final cauterization. But by then he was done. It was beyond traumatic. I don't have adequate words here to express the agony of having a 4mm-by-4mm cyst cut from my inner eye, near the puncta, without the advantage of anesthesia. There is no doubt he knew of my pain. His assistant admitted to me later I made it clear to him I felt everything and that he could have waited longer. Dr. Vazeen was insensitive and plowed through the procedure. He should have not begun at all before checking to see the shot had taken effect. Or at the very least stopped once he discovered the depth of my agony. Did he not know where to apply the shot? I cannot emphasize strongly enough to anyone avoid this doctor. I felt physically traumatized and was led immediately out of the office, feeling faint and weak. I needed to sit there longer, but they were in a hurry and needed the room. The doctor did not utter one syllable to me after the procedure. Do not go to him. Read more: http://www.vitals.com/doctor/profile/1982600516/reviews/1982600516#ixzz1DMvRrAO8 read more

We found out the begining of November 2013 that my 15 year old son had Cataracts and needed surgery. Dr. Vazeen performed the surgery the end of November on both eyes. My son went from hardly being able to see, almost blind in one eye, to seeing almost perfectly. Vazeen was very patient and made my son comfortable through something that was very scary. All of the people at Advanced Eye Care were amazing. We couldnt ask for a better experience under the circumstances. read more

Dr. Vazeen seemed very competent when I visited him to check the pressure in my eye. I have a family history of low pressure glaucoma. I get my eye pressure checked one time each year. The problem is that he also had my vision checked by someone who had no schooling or credentials to do so. She gave me the wrong prescription for my new glasses. Because my new glasses were also bifocals and extremely difficult to get used to, it took me a long time to return to Dr. Vazeen's office. The unqualified young lady gave me a slightly adjusted long distance prescription and another optometrist gave me my old long distance prescription from my last pair of glasses. The office manager refused to help me pay for new prescription lenses because "too much time had passed since my original appointment." I wrote a letter of complaint to Dr. Vazeen. He payed me $80, enough to pay for a new pair of glasses with the help of my insurance which would kick in a year from my visit to Dr. Vazeen. He told me he no longer wanted me as a patient. He did not say he was sorry. Do not let anyone but a qualified optometrist or ophthalmologist examine your eyes to give you a prescription. Dr. Vazeen checked my eye pressure professionally and then gave me an unqualified person to give me a new glasses prescription. Don't let this happen to you. read more

Pre-op: The office was clean, the staff friendly. Dr. Vazeen seemed attentive, but hurried. However, the day of the operation (PRK) I was told I wouldn't feel a thing but I could take some minor "relaxant" if I wanted to. I decided if there was no pain, why did I need a relaxant? Wrong. Operation: I felt the cut and, of course, smelled the burning tissue. After 36 years in the military, you don't forget those kinds of smell. A little prior communication would have gone a long way, as would being directed for my comfort and safety to take the sedative. Post-op: A disaster. I believe Dr. Vazeen did something that did not take into account my 20-year-old RK scalpel scars on the cornea. I awoke almost every night in wrenching agony, as if two knife points were being stuck in my eyes. But for 18 months of post-op visits, he told me my vision was fine, and (very defensively) noted that I signed a waiver noting that "dry eye" may be one of the side effects of the surgery. He gave me a steroidal ointment to place in my eyes every night. It worked for a time, but steroids for extended periods are absolutely contraindicated for corneal application. On the visit I decided would be my last to him, he said there was nothing wrong with my eyes and glibly noted it may be a "neurological" issue -- his euphemism for psychosomatic? Rather than accept wrenching pain, sleepless nights and/or corneal damage from the steroids, I made an appointment with a doctor on the adjunct faculty at Stanford University, a 12-hour, overnight round trip. Within 10 minutes of looking at my eyes using a standard ophthalmoscope with fluorescein stain and a blue-light, he diagnosed the source of my pain and inability to sleep as recurrent corneal erosion, diagrammed for me on my chart the two holes he clearly saw in my outer corneal epithelium and recommended a non-surgical course of treatment using over-the-counter medications and patient-controlled environmental, pre-bedtime and waking routines. I may never have written this review had I not visited the second doctor. But 10 minutes is all it took to begin to undo 18 months of needless pain and suffering. I cannot recommend and would dissuade any friend who asks me about Dr. Vazeen. read more

This doctor was absolutely amazing. He corrected a botched lasik operation done by a dodgy doctor. There is a reason he is regarded so highly, and I would recommend him to all those who have not messed up their eyes yet. read more
