I have seen Dr. Nikpoor and she is Great! Very personable and so is the staff. I had Cataract surgery on both eyes and was amazed on how relaxed and secure they made me feel during the procedures. I am totally happy with everything that was done. I completely recommend them for the care of your eyes!!! I will be back for regular check-up's. read more

Had a Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) cataract surgery in both of my eyes earlier this month. Very satisfied and impressed with my results. Everything is much clearer now. Wish I had this procedure done earlier. The respective staff at Jenkins Eye Care and Surgical Suites were very helpful, attentive, and respectful. Doctor Neda Nikpoor is highly professional and very knowledgeable in her practice and is a godsend. I highly recommend their services. read more

Of the five senses, which one is considered the most important? If you answered, "sight", Google would agree with you! Our vision helps us to interact with our world... and with others. We learn, play sports, watch movies, read, enjoy sunsets and fireworks, etc. through our eyes. What would we do without them? I first visited Jenkins Eye Care in 2000 and had LASIK surgery. The best result was getting rid of contact lenses! That one inconvenience was gone from my daily routine! What a relief! Recently, my optometrist noticed that I had the beginnings of cataracts. So many people advised me to get the surgery as soon as possible, so... Okay... I went for the exam/consultation and now am waiting to schedule the surgery. It's such a popular procedure that the office is backed up for months! I'm looking forward to interacting with the professional, patient, and pleasant staff again! I think I met six different people who helped me navigate the system! They were all kind and thorough! I highly recommend Jenkins Eye Care. They're very experienced and have an excellent reputation! read more

I am very pleased with the service I received and the treatment outcome. Dr. Neda Nikpoor took the time to answer my questions about lens options and other concerns. My ONLY regret is that I didn't have cataract surgery years ago. read more

Mahalo nui loa to the helpful staff at Jenkins Eye Clinic and especially to Dr. Neda Nikpoor. I was referred to the clinic and I emphatically recommend Jenkins Eye Clinic and Dr. Nikpoor. The vision in my right eye began diminishing nearly two years ago. At first it felt like I was seeing the world through plastic wrap smeared with bacon grease; over time it worsened into what seemed like wrinkled paper. I was scared I might lose sight in that eye. I had to depend solely on my left eye and felt unsafe driving at night because headlights became blinding spotlights. At Jenkins Eye Clinic I learned I had cataracts in both eyes. The staff were pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating, and compassionate. I was a little devastated at first -- I thought I was too young -- but Dr. Nikpoor put me at ease. She explained what to expect before and after the procedure, answered all my questions about vision outcomes, pain, downtime, and cost, and helped me schedule bilateral cataract surgery for early April. My procedure was scheduled for 8:00 a.m., and I was out by 9:30 a.m. Tears of joy escaped my eyes when I realized I could see through my right eye again. The vision felt different -- somehow better. Colors, especially blue, are deeper and more vivid; whites are more brilliant. I can now safely drive at night without fear. I am grateful to Dr. Nikpoor, the staff at Jenkins Eye Clinic, and the team at The Surgical Suites. read more

If I had regular cataract surgery, I think my experience might have been better but I choose to have the Light Adjustable Lens which they could adjust (up to 3 times) until I was satisfied with my vision. At my first appointment, I was given written information about cataract surgery and the many different options I could choose from. I met with Dr. Nicole Chang who asked what I wanted to do. I thought I would be given information on all the different options I have so I could make a more informed decision. I had to do research on all the options and if I had any questions, I could make one appointment for a 15 minute visit. Dr. Jenkins did my surgery and I saw her once before the surgery and during surgery. Dr. Nicole handled all my other appointments and the light adjustments. They were both very nice but I didn't feel I was given personalized treatment. It felt like I was in an assembly line at my appointments because they see more patients than they should which results in long waits in the waiting room and during your appointment. There are other patients doing the same thing you are so what should take about 15 minutes, takes at least 30 minutes or longer while you wait for your turn. While I recuperated after the surgery, I had a question and was told to call my optometrist! They couldn't answer a question about the surgery?? While my vision is now 20/20, I do have dry eyes, which I've never had before. I read dry eyes can be a temporary result after cataract surgery and should clear after 2-3 months. It's been over a year and half and my eyes are still dry. I asked my optometrist about my vision being blurry at times and she said it's because my eyes are dry, which doesn't really feel dry at the time. I will definitely recommend my husband to see someone else when he has his cataract surgery and hope he has a much better experience. read more

Today was the worse! Husband had another appt and they didn't take him in until an hour and a half after his scheduled time. They took him in and dilated his eyes then he had to wait again to see the doctor. He continues to see them because he had his lasik surgery done with them and is told he needs to follow up with them. It was two and a half hours until he was able to leave. I would not recommend them...never!!! read more

I am so grateful that both my Optometrist and Retina Specialist referred me to Jenkins Eye Care. I recently had Cataract Surgery with Light Adjustable Lenses there. My initial consultation was in June and my final laser adjustment was this November. The whole process and care I received was excellent from my first visit. I had a wonderful outcome, thanks to Dr. Nikpoor who did the Cataract Surgery & Dr. Porter who did the laser adjustment and lock down. Every member of their team provided excellent, friendly & caring service. I like that I was kept informed every step of the way. The Doctors, Surgical Coordinators, Reception and Medical Staff all worked together. I felt I was in good hands and I trusted them, which is so important, especially when it comes to your Eyes. My vision was also rather complicated to begin with as I had other issues. My outcome was beyond my expectations. I highly recommended Jenkins Eye Care. read more

They really helped me out in my time of need. Dr. Porter made sure I was taken care of and went above and beyond to explain what was wrong with my eye and treatment plans. I was here visiting and had an urgent eye emergency and I would highly recommend this eye center because the staff and doctors really care about the patient. Thank you Dr. Porter. read more

No reply to several appointment requests! I have made at least 4 requests for an appointment but have received no response! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. read more

Had my second cataract surgery done by Dr Jenkins and gang and like the first, they did a great job!

You make my eyes smile! This is my absolute "Thank you Thursday" moment is my upcoming Lasik surgery on my eyes by none other than Dr. Tyrie Jenkins. I've heard nothing by the absolute best from my bestie Alvin A and even my mom who got her cataracts done and after over a year of appointments and consultations it's just around the corner and I can't be more excited! With several multilingual staff it's comforting to know everything will be explained to your understanding with any process wether it's an exam or paperworks I just love their awesome efficient staff. It has been over a year since I've decided to get this procedure done and I'm just super excited to finally start seeing everything clearer and know that my future is much brighter as I finally put myself first. The happiest smiles are in the eyes! Thank you! read more

Not recommended if you want to wait a long time in a busy waiting room. The appointment was scheduled a month ago. I filled out the paperwork ahead of time by mail. I confirmed the appointment by text. I showed up 15 minutes early. I checked in. I gave reception my ID and insurance which they copied. I seated myself in the waiting room. After nearly an hour I checked with reception and was told I was never checked in. Did they not notice someone waitIng who was yet not yet called in while those who arrived after him was being called in. What happened after they copied my insurance and ID? I cannot believe they asked if I checked in. I cannot believe while I was waiting they said they marked my appointment as a "no show". At that moment they offered to have me be seen next or reschedule. I declined both. No thank you. I took the day off because I was informed the appointment was to be about a couple of hours. After waiting nearly an hour I was not going to give them more of my time. I have my parking ticket to prove the time of my arrival soon after to the their office. read more

I had lasik eye surgery here. Dr Jenkins is amazing and very professional. It was a great experience. She's truly the best.

Great staff treats patients like family. Very through when explaining what they do Make patients feel very at ease

I just came home from my final examination after my cataract surgery. Everyone working with Jenkins Eye Care was pleasant and professional. Dr. Jeffrey Peterson did the surgery and my eyesight is better than I hoped for. Be prepared tor a large crowd of caregivers with different tasks, all working to make your experience the best. I could not fault any of them. well maybe the receptionist at the surgicenter could be pleasanter, but I always like to give people leeway for the happenstance in their life. Mahalo to Dr. Peterson and the rest of the staff for a fabulous outcome. read more

Great results - for the first time in my life I can open my eyes in the morning when I wake up and I can see! This is after cataract surgery - It was a little tricky because I had very poor vision, but it's an amazing difference! read more

Aloha, Dr. Jenkin's did my Lasik 24 years ago, still going strong with my far-sided corrected vision. Recently returned due to floaties (ugh, found out comes with age). And again with irritated itchy eyes (I decided to stop the lash extensions after 6 years) as I developed a slight allergy. Okay, Dr. Jenkin's said I have the beginning stages of cataracts, ugh, so won't do anything till I'm a little older, okay no problem. Just happy I'm still doing okay (for my age, LOL). Best eye care, great attentive staff, nice clean offices with social distancing and temperature checks, nice. I highly recommend Dr. Jenkin's office. Mahalo read more

Professional and efficient but I didn't like that I couldn't speak with Dr. Peterson who performed my cataract procedures on follow-up visits. They take a team approach with follow up l so I had someone I'd never met check me out. I had specific questions only the attending surgeon could have answered. read more

I went for cataract testing and information. After extensive testing I met with Dr. Nikpoor. I was very confused. She explained everything in a very patient, simple way. She explained that she believed I would be happy with her lens choice after a discussion about what results I would like. I trusted her experience, made my appointments that include lots of testing for a great outcome. I have had my first eye done and no longer wear thick glasses except readers to see small print. I am so excited to get my other eye done tomorrow! Last weeks surgery was so well done! The Surgery Suites is great! Check in, wait your turn, go to your comfy recliner for eye drops, IV, warm blankets and relaxing until surgery. For your surgery you walk in to the chair, lay back, lots of drapes/ linens, anesthesiologist, nurses, more drops, doctor, eye open, look at the light, done! They said it would be about 15 minutes, it seemed like 5 minutes! Then to recovery for one more eye drop, crackers and a drink. Back home, with eye drops, instructions for post op, and a clear comfortable patch for the evening. I love all these professionals! I am very happy with my decision to have cataract surgery with Jenkins Eye Care, The Surgery Suites, and Dr. Nikpoor. read more

This review is just based on the consultation since I haven't gotten my surgery yet. The whole process for the free consultation was so simple and fast. First we did a phone consultation to see if i was even a candidate, it took about 10 mins. They scheduled a office consultation that day and Sent me paperwork for me fill out and esign. The actual consultation was quick too. I only waited about 10 mins before I was called back, and when in the back didn't have to wait at all. After I scheduled my surgery, the woman who schedules the surgery and talks to you about the cost validated my parking so it was free. She put like 3 stickers on my parking ticket. I know I read a review that said they only gave them one so they had to pay for parking. So maybe that person just didn't know what to do. Parking was definitely free. I'll update my review when I get my surgery. read more

Wish I got this done sooner! I remember years ago, I wanted to get Lasik and kept putting it off. I finally did it, and gladly to say that Dr Jenkins has been doing this for years!!!!!!!!! So you can definitely trust her and her staff. I made an appointment for a consultation. At my consultation, they checked and rechecked and rechecked my eyes. After they said that I qualify to get Lasik done, they provided me with a quote and I set my appointment date! Coordination with Dr. Jenkins office and my own eye doctor was great! All I had to do was show up at all my appointments! On the day of, it was like get in, get out and then its a whole new world from a clear perspective. Thank you Dr. Jenkins and staff for fixing my eyeballs!!!!!!! read more

Dr Jenkins did the surgery well (8 mos ago) and would rate 5 star. However, due to possibly the wrong lens chosen by her Optometrist who does the preliminary check I'm giving the 2-star. It resulted in now having to wear glasses to read which was Not the case before surgery! When the OD doc at Dr Jenkins office does the pre-screen determination of the new lens to replace they need a more thorough check as this is permanent surgery. Be careful when u do this. My follow up appt after the cataract surgery with the OD when I reported worst vision learned she sighted for 3/4 arms length even though I asked for near reading vision! Be careful as this is a final surgery that cannot redo. read more

I made an appointment here to see if I was qualified for Lasik eye surgery. Now that I'm getting older, I'm finding it harder and harder to see clearly, so I was curious to see if I did qualify and what the cost would be. Unfortunately I didn't qualify, but then found out that the screening was free. I was expecting to pay out of pocket for at least a copay for the screening. The staff here were all very pleasant. Checked me in and updated any information since I went for a visit previously last year for an issue I had with a stuck fake eyelash behind my eyeball. Yes my eyeball. It was so uncomfortable. Dr Jenkins actually helped me out and all is well now. They are located at 615 Piikoi street, across of Inspirations. This is an office with several different doctors who can help. The office is very clean, and some chairs are blocked off for social distancing. I'm not sure if they do parking validation though because I was dropped off. I really liked the staff at this office. Dr Tyrie Jenkins was amazing and very helpful! Thank you. read more

This is a poor review and this is why. The office called to remind me of my appointment and asked why I hadn't done the questionnaire they emailed. None sent. They resent it 30mins before my app. Upon arrival for appointment, I waited 45mins to see the doctor! I asked how much longer and oops, I had been over looked! read more

Thank you Dr Jenkins for the perfect cataract surgery using the laser equipment. I can see fine now and am using glasses at night to drive. Am so happy. Also thank you for offering to do my right eye even if you didn't cause it. I trusted in you as a Dr, therefore. You do care for your patients. Your staff Drs are also great too. Your tech staff in office and exams staff are so well trained. I knew I was in good hands. Thanks so much, Judy C read more

Dr. Neda Nikpoor is the best! She is very qualified, very professional and takes the time to explain different options and procedures. I was very comfortable with her and she tells you exactly what she's doing during surgery. I am very pleased with the results and the whole process of getting new eyes. I highly recommend her. read more

I was considered legally blind and life was extremely challenging if I didn't wear my contacts or glasses. My glasses were so thick, that even when I had the polycarbonate, I couldn't wear them for more than a couple of hours before getting painful grooves on my nose and a headache from the pressure on my ears. As a doctor, I also knew that if anything went wrong, I would lose what little sight I had left and would no longer be able to practice medicine without serious accommodations. So, I asked several other doctors who they trusted, and that was Dr. Jenkins. 15 years later, I'm still doing well and I'm sending my son to her to get this life changing surgery. read more

One of the most professional and well established eye Doctor's in Honolulu. Referred my my optometrist Dr. Dirk Fujii which I've also been seeing for many years already. Been wearing eye glasses since the first grade and finally saved up to get lasik surgery done. Kudos to Davina who helped coordinate appointments and escorted me out the door post surgery. This place is amazing! read more

Jenkins Eye Care - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Jenkins Eye Care is an exceptional organization. My wife and I were referred to Jenkins by several of our friends, who had procedures performed by Jenkins Eye Care. From the moment you enter and are greeted by Momo, to going through the most advanced testing by Cassie, then meeting with Doctor Chang to discuss the findings and then ultimately meeting with Doctor Jenkins to discuss my options, my wife and I were made to feel like family. Jenkins Eye Care is so well run and organized, that you know you are in the best hands possible. After each cataract operation there is a follow up the following day with Doctor Jenkins and a week later Sharon who is amazing calls you to make sure everything is ok and answer any questions you may have. This extraordinary care, is clearly why so many of our family and friends recommended Jenkins Eye Care. The bottom line is that I only have two eyes and I want the best doctor and staff available performing any procedure on my eyes. Sincerely Dan and Dar Sparks read more

I was referred to Jenkins Eye Care for an issue by my general eye doctor. I was unhappy with my initial appointment, which was rewarded by an even worse second one. Like many doctors, you spend more time waiting for the doctor than actually talking to them (not including dilation time). Specifically I saw Dr. Peterson and have nothing negative to say about him: he explained what they were looking for, what to look for in the future, and that he believed there was nothing to worry about. My issues here are with the nurses and desk staff. The waiting area and facility is clean, beautiful, and comfortable. I appreciate the drinks while you wait. My first time visiting I was greeted with the building's unfortunate validated parking system, which you're guaranteed to go over with all the waiting involved. The desk clerks seemed prickly, which was at odds with the vibe of the place. The nursing staff that I had the displeasure of having on both visits were distant, not explaining the tests, and being rough with my sensitive eyes. After my first visit, I had visible injuries from fingernails not to mention general soreness. During both appointments I was moved from one test method to a different one because it was "easier" then showed up on the bill. The second appointment, I asked why we couldn't do the one, to which the nurse *laughed* and did not answer. Scheduling here is also difficult. I made a follow-up appointment the day of the first visit, and had to reschedule a few days later. I was told they were completely full for three months, which seemed hard to believe but I took it anyway. Getting out of there is the hard part. I will not pay up front for any medical co-pays and fees; too many doctors scam as much as they can with the promise of a refund later. The desk clerks are rude and angry at me, the customer, about this policy. When the total was revealed, I was livid, and refused (this is with insurance, for a medically necessary appointment). Going to a doctor is about staying healthy, not being made to feel like a cash cow. Despite being told my eyes are healthy, they said they'd like to see me again in six month to reevaluate a second time. I'm sure they would for what they bill. I will not be returning. read more

My mother had an appointment that she had to wait 2 months for. When she got to the office at her appointment time they told her that they had to reschedule her to October (which is 3 months later, making it a total of 5 months without the eye care she needs) due to their lack of scheduling correctly. The receptionists were completely unprofessional and one lady showed no empathy or kindness after the bad news they had. Why not call her ahead of time to let her know the doctor could not see her instead of making her go to the office and waste her time. This news I received from my mother is distasteful and shows how unprofessional this place is. I believe you guys can do better. read more

This is a long overdue review, specifically for Dr. Peterson. Dr. Peterson helped me immensely with my eye allergies that were misdiagnosed and lingering for far too long. After getting misdiagnosed with conjunctivitis and prescribed something very strong and very useless, the pain and itching in my eyes persisted so badly that I was waking up in the middle of the night rubbing my eyes on a regular basis. I ended up visiting urgent care, where the doctor was mystified, but he referred me to Jenkins Eye Care. Dr. Peterson identified the problem immediately and he gave me a prescription for durezol, which squashed the problem within a week. He was very careful and diligent with the dosing, and he had me return a couple of times for follow up to measure my eye pressure. I appreciated his expertise and the caution he took with such a strong prescription. My allergies have been under control for several years now and my eye sight and pressure remain very healthy. I was very pleased with my results here and the care and attention given to my problem. read more

Finally decided to make lasik a top priority and after careful research it became quite apparent that getting it done at Jenkins eye care was the only choice. Knowing that Dr. Jenkins is a pioneer in the field, nationally recognized as one of the top cataract and lasik surgeons in the country really gave me a piece of mind. I waited two months from my first visit to the surgery day which was yesterday. Schedule your appointment now because they are very busy. On a last note I just want to say her and her staff truly made this whole experience so pleasant and easy. If you want Lasik look no further Jenkins Eye Care is the place to go. Thank you Dr. Jenkins and Staff read more

I feel like a brand new person after Lasik! I've had glasses or contacts since I was in 4th grade, and I never thought I'd be able to have vision this clear. My astigmatism was so bad that I never truly saw clearly, unless my contacts sat exactly straight on my eyes. Lasik is magic, and Dr. Jenkins and staff are the best. I called a couple of other places for consultations. Davina, the surgical coordinator for Dr. Jenkins, was the most responsive and informative out of all the offices I called. She walked me through each step of the process. Eveything was laid out clearly, from pricing to pre & post op appointments, coordinating with my own optometrist, when to start wearing glasses and when to start meds. The other guys (Faulkner) were a little rude, and were not able to accommodate a consultation until much later. They're just busy because they do commercials, and they were pretty cocky about it, saying he's "soo popular." After speaking to literally everyone I knew who had lasik, many people said that Jenkins is the best. She was the first to bring lasik to Hawaii, a true pioneer in the field. Although I probably only spend a total of 15 minutes with Dr. Jenkins during this whole process, I am thoroughly impressed by her knowledge and expertise. She's like the cool mom and makes you feel comfortable and confident. Jenkins uses the Aloha Laser Vision facility for the actual surgery, but every other appointment is either in the Piikoi office, or with your existing optometrist. The Piikoi office is run like a factory, churning patients in and out. They're super efficient, and everyone knows what they're doing. Each person I encountered was an expert in their field and addressed all my concerns without me having to ask first. The morning after surgery, I had 20/15 vision! I'm so thankful for Dr. Jenkins and her team!! read more

"THE BEST" Couldn't see distance for a year after wrong power cataracts installed in my eyes. Dr. who did it was unsympathetic and quoted me $1,000 more per eye for LASTIK to "maybe" correct. Well Jenkins Eye Care got me from 20/40 to 20/20 in my worst eye. No more glasses to hinder my life style! No pain, can see quick. No scared em. Thomas Murray from Kona . read more

Had LASIK surgery yesterday and it is the coolest thing ever. EVER. What better way to start off the new year than with perfect vision? LOCATION: The office is located on Piikoi in the same building as Party Dress by Claudette (for those of you familiar with this dress shop.. also the shop you see while driving down Piikoi). This is where you'll go for your first appointment and most likely your subsequent visits as well. And there's a private parking lot! PROCESS: The initial visit is to determine whether you're a candidate for the surgery-- there's a series of tests, you meet with Dr. Jenkins who explains the process, but you don't have your eyes dilated. Davina then helps you coordinate your appointments and goes over pricing. The second visit is a few days prior to your surgery and involves eye dilation. On the BIG DAY, you go to the First Insurance Building on Ward. The procedure itself takes about 10 minutes and involves minimal pain (at least I thought so.. Valium is partially to thank for that).. just some pressure and lots of lights. You go home and rest with an eye shield, then return the following day for a post-op appointment. Then you have another appointment the following week. Easy right?! OVERALL: Although it's only post-op day 1, I am very pleased with the results and overall process. Everyone at the office is great, and the entire process is so smooth. Vision is still a little bit blurry and my eyes are somewhat dry and sensitive to light, but all of that'll go away with time (and eye drops and sun glasses). Most importantly, NO NEED GLASSES. Highly suggest LASIK surgery with Dr. Jenkins if you even have the slightest desire to do away with troublesome glasses and contacts for a long while. read more

Every time my provider sends a referral, they say they didn't get it. Two years in a row I can't understand why Their fax is not working properly? Or they are doing their job properly? I think both. Every time this thing happens, it's very stressful and annoying. They ignored my request to send a document for follow-up check read more

They do not communicate or respond to inquiries following care. Appointments are not affirmed nor confirmed. Medications are obscure and not explained after prescribed. Good luck with this organization. We were one of the throw aways. read more

Like the saying goes, " experience is a comb life gives you after your lose all of your hair." For all of you contact and glasses users out there don't waste anymore of your life with less than natural 20/20 vision. Every morning I wake up and see the world clearly without anything and can get on with my day. No more forgetting to take out my contacts and waking up at two or three in the morning feeling like there's sandpaper behind my eyes. No more having to rush in to the doctors off to obtain contact prescriptions in order to order more contacts because you're running out. No more spending money on contacts, glasses, contact solution, lubricants and cleansers. And no more having to choose between using my insurance for contacts or glasses because any plan that I've had never seems to never cover both. I have perfect vision for over a year and a half thanks to Dr. Jenkins. Did the process of having the outer layer of my eyeballs lasered off freak me out? Yea it did, but she'll give you medication for that. Is it scary that during surgery you literally can see and then not and are awake during the entire time? Yup, but knowing that Dr. Jenkins is the best in the state of Hawaii and possibly one of the best in the country in doing of what she does gave me peace of mind. Her office and team are 100% efficient and professional. From the time of my consultation to the surgery everything was planned out so well over the span of four weeks I barely had do anything other than get myself to appointments. The procedure is not at the consultation and check up location, and the surgery literally is only a few minutes long. You will be able to see directly afterwards although its like you are in a fog. If you have HMSA insurance you will receive a discount, and the total cost for everything was around $4,200. Definitely don't mess around with those Groupon or Living Social deals. The cost is pretty steep but when it comes to your vision, only use and invest in the best. If you are at least 28 and have had your vision not change for two years, get this done for yourself, this is the best gift I have ever bought for myself! read more
