I am an…read moreAirline Pilot with over 37 years of airline experience and require an eye test due to occasional elevated eye pressure, termed "Pre-Glaucoma". The FAA requires pilots have a physical exam at prescribed intervals based on the type of pilot certification held. Because I am a Captain for a major airline, it has to be every six months. Once a year I have to provide test results based on the prescribed elements of my medical certification. Every year, Dr. Murthy puts me at ease with his wonderful bedside manner and his own personal knowledge of the system since he is an advanced pilot himself with actual jet experience. Thanks to his very thorough care and excellent staff, I have satisfied the FAA with flying colors on my tests. I take one eye drop at night based on his orders and it is doing the trick! My pressures are well within the FAA's guidelines along with my field of vision tests. I was so impressed with his care that I sent my wife to him and he put her at ease regarding her concerns about her vision after a thorough exam. Salute to Dr. Murthy and a Bravo Zulu as well@!

I was referred to Dr. Murthy by my husband's best friend, who has been a patient of his for many…read moreyears. Dr. Murthy discovered something that two other retina specialists had not mentioned to me. I understand why one of them might not have, as he performed my vitrectomy pars plana surgery. I was unaware that a layer had been left behind during the surgery. Recently, I noticed a very unusual brownish floater. Fortunately, whatever was obstructing my vision disappeared the following day. Given that my surgeon did not remove that particular layer, there is a possibility of a detachment. I am now contemplating whether this was intentionally overlooked, potentially necessitating another surgical procedure. I am very grateful that Dr. Murthy came highly recommended by my husband's best friend.

I called around 11;30am same day fully prepared that they may not have availability on a moments notice, especially for a new patient. Mia was able to secure an appointment for a few hours later. Their office is in a very quaint building that has easy parking w/ many close conveniences that my husband took advantage of while waiting (USPS, Starbucks and Trader Joe's!). I was kindly greeted by their receptionist (sorry forgot her name). The intake by Noah was thoughtful and comprehensive. Dr Tsai was prompt, thorough and professional -- communicating clearly what the issue was and how it will be remedied in a way a normal person would understand! Unfortunately, my health and optical insurances were out of network but the out of pocket visit fee was reasonable. They were very forthright on this aspect prior to my appointment taking place which I appreciate. They offered to try it anyways but I declined since upfront was reasonable. Diagnosis was a small corneal ulcer! Could have got so much worse if I didn't go in when I did. Extremely grateful for the team here. Efficient, transparent, comfortable, knowledgeable, and caring. I guess I'm an established patient now! :)
