Great bedside manner…read more My husband was diagnosed with a serious eye condition in 2013, and after seeing multiple doctors, South Bay retina became our go to place for good customer service, and personable staff. Dr. Narain also clearly explains everything in lament terms. While the doctor seems to be very professional and well informed of the latest treatments and future possibilities, he has always helped us get second and third opinions from Stanford and Yale university hospitals and has helped our family to adjust to the condition by also providing great tips for everyday life.

Not a bad experience at all. The doctor was focused and actually looked through my chart while…read moretalking which not everyone does these days. They asked a bunch of follow ups and didn't cut me off when I explained things. It felt more like a conversation than a checklist. The place was clean and the person at the front desk helped sort my paperwork fast. The doctor made a few suggestions that I hadn't heard before and gave me some ideas on what might help. It's not perfect but way better than most places I've been.

The type of care I got during my surgery was horrible.

He had the nerve to get upset at me for blinking when he did nothing to hold my eyes opened.

Three years ago my husband lost all vision in his left eye and suddenly out of no where he lost 80%…read moreof his vision in his right eye. We made an appointment with his optometrist in San Jose who said everything was fine and you have nothing to worry about, it's just an episode. Not feeling good when we got home my husband decided to get another opinion. He went online and found a local optometrist who was Dr. Robert Wolff, MD, he contacted him and explained his vision loss and Dr. Wolff scheduled him an appointment two days later. Dr. Wolff was very pleasant and professional. I couldn't believe how thorough Dr. Wolff's exam was. He performed test after test after test and when we walked out of his office we felt confident his diagnosis was on point. He insisted we go right over to the hospital emergency with good reason. The emergency room doctor spoke to Dr. Wolff and they was in agreement as to what needed to be done. Blood work as well as a CT Scan confirmed Dr. Wolff's diagnosis. Thanks to you my husband won't lose the sight in his only good eye. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate your making yourself available to see my husband when you did. Given the appointment time you scheduled, 5:00pm I am certain you deliberately stayed late so you could examine my husband knowing the seriousness he was facing especially on a Saturday. We thank you for all your help including following up on Sunday as well. Doctors like you are very rare and we appreciate everything you have done for my husband. Thank you ....

The visit went pretty well overall. I got to the office and things were pretty quiet, not too…read morecrowded. The staff handled the paperwork quickly and were polite enough. Once I got called in, the assistant took their time to ask about any recent changes and listened without interrupting. The doctor came in shortly after and spent time reviewing everything before talking to me. They didn't jump to conclusions which I liked. We had a steady talk about what I'd been experiencing, and they were realistic about next steps. They gave me a few different directions we could take and left the decision mostly up to me. It felt balanced and not over the top. I think they were knowledgeable without sounding like they had all the answers. I left with a few things to work on and I'll see how that goes. Not an amazing visit but definitely not bad either.

I'm REALLY late to the party here, but this is my story…read more Back in late July, 1991, I was at the beach in Santa Cruz where I lived at the time, playing fetch with a stick, with my dog (Queensland Heeler). She was all amped up, like she always was quite frankly, and wouldn't let go of the stick. Like a dummy, I pulled on the stick while telling her to "give", and suddenly the stick broke, while I was pulling on it and she was hanging on. Before I knew what happened, I managed to shove that stick right through my RayBans into my right eye. Those ultimately sunglasses saved my eyeball, but did almost rip my eyelid off, and mangled my cornea as well. My friend immediately drove me to Dominican Hospital. The ER took a quick look and told me to get to Watsonville Hospital asap, where Dr. Hamako was "on call" for eye emergencies.........just that ONE day per week! Talk about God giving me some luck. Some 4 hours of surgery (cosmetic on my eyelid, and 22 stitches in my cornea) and my eyeball was saved by Dr. Hamako. Another 1/16 of an inch of penetration, and I most likely would have lost the eye......those RayBans slowed the stick down just enough. I can't read very well with the eye, but I can see good enough with it, and oddly, in dark situations, nowadays I can see better with it than my good eye...LOL......(it is because the corneal scarring bounces light around inside the eye in daylight or well lit rooms, making everything blurry, etc.) He advised me against corneal transplantation, basically saying the risk wasn't worth the reward, and I am 100% confident in that recommendation. Thanks again Conrad, and I hope you and yours are doing well!

Walking into the clinic, everything looked pretty standard but neat. The check in process was…read moresimple and didn't take long. The person at the desk answered my questions without seeming annoyed which I appreciated. In the back, one of the medical assistants went through the initial steps and made sure I was settled in the exam room. When the doctor came in, they took time to go over some background and asked a mix of general and more focused questions. They had a calm way of talking and didn't jump into assumptions. What I liked was how they explained things clearly but didn't try to oversimplify. The doctor gave a few ideas on what could be happening and explained the next steps without pressuring anything. They also gave some basic advice on what I could try on my own. It felt more like a team effort than being told what to do. I left feeling like I got useful information without being overwhelmed.

The service in front and in the eyeglass shop is deplorable…read more I'm not the patient but was dropping off glasses for repair for a patient and rather than be helped, I was asked questions that they easily could have answered (and I had no answers for) by taking a minute to look in the patient's chart. Instead the two ladies in the shop were annoyed that I did know the answers. Finally, I commented, "fantastic customer service" to which both taunted..." Oh yeah!" While the other stated, "great communication too!" Needless to say, I gave no response to either jab and continued my exit! This office has no clue about customer service so if you prefer terrible customer interactions and like to be treated petty and apathetically....this is the eye doctor to see ...otherwise steer clear of the verbal jousting!
