From the time we walked in it was the most amazing experience. We were graciously and warmly greeted by the front desk. There was hardly a wait and we were called in by a young gentleman, Vahon. We have never been treated so kindly and hospitably by any medical business! Never have we been offered coffee. Vahon was very professional and knowledgeable and more than competent. He took very good care of my 91 year old father. Then came Dr. Paronian! She took the time to explain in detail and in a way that we could understand the test results and future treatments! She listened to our concerns and put us at ease. My father who is hard to please was so impressed with Calif Eye Center and is looking forward to his future visits! We LOVE all of them!

I had no problem with the last doctor who's place it was before he retired. I came with my two young ones. Felt like the secretary had A grudge the minute she saw me/ us! She asked for my insurance card and I happened to not have . I've worked in the medical field many years I know that they have the card number as they needed to receive an authorization for us to be seen with the number on it. She intentionally wanted to give me a hard time and said no we don't look on papers or do anything to find your number you need your card. She basically told me to sit down and call my insurance or figure it out. They started bickering about my kids and the masks. They are kids , They play , they come off. This is a pediatric office and I told them they were very unprofessional, being pediatric you should be especially understanding . Rude sarcastic manager came out because the secretary clearly had a problem with me and complained, and told us they were canceling our appointment. We waited over 6 months I think longer actually. If the whole covid situation makes you mad,, if kids make you mad , if working and getting an ID number makes you mad , STAY HOME. I will be reporting further about my horrible experience here. Completely unprofessional

The rest of the staff however, while friendly enough, never seem to get things right in an acceptable range. They overbook quite often, squashing as many people as possible into the smallish waiting areas. If you have an appointment on these days expect to wait over an hour to see anyone. And they sometimes forget where they put you -- meaning you have to stick your head out of the room like a turtle, asking "Um, I've been put in here for almost 30 minutes?" and having staff gape and gasp at you because they'd lost you! Dr. Kay Park was my surgeon and I have to say she has a most excellent bedside manner. Kind, soft-voiced and extremely patient. She took good time to explain the procedure and on operation day was very encouraging. She even ordered me up a post-op muffin! I really have to say that I have no hard feelings over some of the minor incompetencies in their offices, because at the end of the day my cataracts were removed and I can see again. That almost makes up for everything, no?

Dr.Zarate does not care to update her practice in 2025 or take proactive steps to rectify her practice's wrong and ensure other patients don't fall victim to her negligence. Dr. Zarate is listed as a provider under my insurance. The receptionist booked an appointment for me ONE MONTH out and said Dr. Zarate took my insurance. The receptionist called to confirm my appointment the day prior. I went to my appointment after requesting time off work in advance and they said she doesn't take my insurance. I told them that contradicts what your receptionist who booked this appointment said. Dr. Zarate is listed as a provider in the provider list my insurance had physically mailed me along with my insurance card and that she is currently listed as a provider on the insurance website. They said she use to take that insurance but not anymore. Knowing this was the only day I could take time off work to go see an eye doctor and knowing that all I required from this appointment is for the doctor to simply sign off on the same eye contact prescription that I have had for 14 years, I said how much can I pay out of pocket to get her to sign a new prescription so I can buy my yearly contacts (which was the entire point of my appointment) she said $250 :) These people did not want to work with me on fixing THEIR mistake, nor did they sense the urgency in my visit or even bother to apologize. Did they say they would fix this with the insurance, so that it wouldn't happen to another patient? Absolutely not, because they don't care if it happens again. This practice is stuck in the dark ages along with the archaic and filthy waiting room chairs. To finish off the rude and unprofessional interaction the woman told me I had to pay $2 for validation. How insane do you have to be to bring someone to your practice to not see them and at the end ask them to pay for parking for THEM wasting your time and money. Avoid going here.

I rarely write any reviews, but my experience today justifies it…read more My appointment was at 3:45pm. I get there, pay my co-pay, and wait 45 minutes until my name is called. The receptionist calls me over and informs me that I will not be able to be seen today because my insurance only covers the other doctor at that clinic and not it does not cover Dr. Zarate. I really don't understand why they did not check my insurance when I made my appointment over a month ago, when they called me yesterday for an appointment reminder, or when I first got to my appointment. Instead, they charge my copay and then wait 45 minutes to figure this, and then tell me I need to reschedule. After all that, they were not able to squeeze me in for an earlier appointment, instead they give me an appointment an entire month out. I'm extremely disappointed and wasted a lot of time for no reason.

I came in hoping to switch from glasses to multifocal contacts for more flexibility in daily life…read more I was fitted with Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day Multifocals, but unfortunately, the lenses haven't worked well for me. Indoors or in low lighting, my vision is sharp and comfortable. But the moment I step outside into bright daylight, everything goes noticeably blurry -- to the point where I question whether wearing them is even worth it. After doing some research and testing things on my own, I suspect the issue has to do with how my pupils respond to light. In bright conditions, they constrict, and that seems to interfere with how the multifocal zones line up. It's frustrating that this wasn't explained or factored into the fitting process. To make things worse, my mild astigmatism wasn't accounted for. Between that and the blurry daytime vision, these lenses just don't deliver what I was hoping for. I already purchased a three-month supply, so now I'm stuck trying to manage until I can reorder. The doctor repeatedly said, "Multifocals are a compromise," which in hindsight felt like code for "we don't really expect these to work well in all situations." I wish that trade-off had been made clearer upfront. The office itself was professional and clean, and the staff were courteous -- but the fitting didn't feel personalized, and that really matters when it comes to something as sensitive and specific as vision. I'd recommend asking a lot of questions and making sure your unique needs are being considered before committing to a full supply.
