I've been going to this office regularly for a few years. It's a busy office. I feel I get the care I need.

I've wanted to get my farsightedness corrected for probably 10 years. I hate wearing glasses, so I…read morefinally decided to come in and see what my options were. I'll admit, I was skeptical when they told me the consultation would take about 1 hour and 45 minutes. I remember thinking, "What's the point? They're going to tell me I'm a candidate, do the procedure, and take my money." Nope. After about an hour of testing, they told me they **didn't recommend that I have the procedure**. That immediately told me everything I needed to know about this practice. They took the time to explain exactly why. They even identified a slight astigmatism that my regular eye doctor had never caught, although that wasn't the reason they advised against treatment. They explained that at some point in my life I'll most likely need cataract surgery, and when that time comes, I may be able to address everything with a custom lens replacement instead. For now, my natural lenses are still working to some degree, and even though my vision isn't ideal, they felt that replacing them today simply **wouldn't be in my best interest**. They could have easily recommended a procedure and taken my money. Instead, they told me to keep wearing my glasses, come back in a few years, and see where things stand as the technology continues to evolve. I was incredibly impressed with the entire staff and the way they handled my consultation. There was no pressure and no attempt to sell me something I didn't need. Just a thoughtful recommendation based on what was actually best for me. **This is the true definition of patient care -- even though I'm technically not a patient...yet.** When the time comes, I know exactly where I'll be going.

I first met Dr. Gary Kawesch of the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley - San Jose in the mid-1990s,…read morewhen his office was located on Stevens Creek Boulevard. At the time, I simply wanted better vision and decided to undergo LASIK vision correction on both eyes. Nearly 30 years later, I deeply regret my decision to have the procedures performed there. I researched LASIK itself, but being young at the time, I did not do nearly enough research into the doctor performing the surgery. I wish I had. At the time Dr. Kawesch was fresh in business and not nearly enough experience as he should. I experienced serious complications involving my left eye. During treatment for those complications, the corneal flap was removed and, according to what I was subsequently told and understood about my case, was sutured back in the wrong orientation. I later developed significant epithelial ingrowth and substantial corneal scarring. The effects have followed me for decades. My vision today is considerably worse than it was when I originally sought LASIK simply because I wanted to see better, and the damage and scarring in my left eye continue to affect me. If I was to lose the sight in my right eye I would be legally blind because of the damage the doctor caused me. Looking back after all these years, this remains one of the decisions I regret most. My advice to anyone considering elective eye surgery is to thoroughly research not only the procedure, but also the individual surgeon, their history, experience, and potential complications. Your eyesight is simply too important.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Parikh and Dr. Nguyen throughout my EVO ICL selection,…read moresurgery, and follow-up care. From the very beginning, they were attentive, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. They took the time to answer my questions, explain the process clearly, and make sure I felt confident in my decision every step of the way. I even got great music and a fun squishy eye to hold onto during my surgery! :) My vision was very poor at around -7.00 in each eye, so this procedure has been life changing for me. Immediately after the surgery I could see better than I had in years! I experienced very little discomfort throughout. I can now see 15/20, and I have had no issues with my vision since the procedure. It has been amazing to wake up and be able to see immediately, and each day my eyesight just gets better and better! I am very grateful for the skill, care, and professionalism both doctors provided, and I would highly recommend Dr. Parikh and Dr. Nguyen to anyone considering EVO ICL.

I don't write many reviews, but I felt Dr. Parikh and the team at Furlong Vision deserved one…read more I had ICL surgery about a week ago, and the results have honestly been incredible. Before surgery, my prescription was around -10.00, and even with contacts I struggled to read text on my phone at night. I often needed both contacts and reading glasses just to have a chance. Less than a week after surgery, I'm seeing around 20/25 and can comfortably read even fine print. The procedure itself was completely painless, and the recovery has been far easier than I expected. As amazing as the results are, the real reason I'm writing this review is because of Dr. Parikh. Two days before my scheduled surgery, he noticed something abnormal during my pre-op exam. Instead of proceeding, he refused to do the surgery until I had my eye evaluated by a retinal specialist. Obviously, I was disappointed because I had been looking forward to finally getting the procedure, but he put my safety first without hesitation. I asked if there was any way to get in quickly, and he immediately started texting people in his network from his phone. By the next morning, one of his colleagues, Dr. Silva, was able to see me. It turned out I had a torn retina that needed to be repaired before ICL surgery. After the retina was treated, Dr. Parikh and Dr. Silva stayed in communication directly with each other over the following weeks. I didn't have to coordinate anything--they handled it all. Once Dr. Silva confirmed my retina had healed, Dr. Parikh rescheduled my procedure. To me, that's what separates a great doctor from a good one. Dr. Parikh wasn't focused on getting me into surgery as quickly as possible--he was focused on doing what was best for me. He even made himself personally available by text throughout the process, which gave me a tremendous amount of confidence. The entire staff at Furlong Vision was outstanding from start to finish--friendly, professional, and incredibly organized--but Dr. Parikh's level of care genuinely went above and beyond. I couldn't recommend Furlong Vision more highly. If you're considering vision correction, you'll be in excellent hands.

His words: "Please please please do me a favor and post something wonderful about Dr. Penrose.

I cannot speak on whether these comments reflect any management awareness, but as a patient, it made the environment extremely uncomfortable to hear what I understood and perceived as carelessly ignorant. Living in California for a long time, these were not words I expected to hear and very inappropriate for the workplace let alone a "professional" clinic. The rest of my experience here has been great; amazing doctors and aides who have persistently helped me through my slough of issues, which makes this all the more unfortunate. I will not be returning and would strongly encourage a refresher of basic empathy, inclusiveness, and client-sided professionalism.
