The initial eye exam felt like an assembly line where I was passed from one person to the next, then ended with a salesman-type (they called him a counselor) who was basically a closer. I felt like I was buying a car! That said, everyone was very pleasant and they worked around my schedule to get my surgery done before I left the country. The surgery itself was super fast and painless (albeit a bit unnerving psychologically, but that part only lasted a few seconds). I got the SMILE surgery, a slightly less invasive technique than Lasik. There was a tiny bit of irritation after the numbness wore off, but the next morning I was fine, and within a few days my vision was quite clear. I only got one eye done, so one eye is near sighted and the other is now far sighted, and my brain stitches the images together so I feel like I have 20/20 vision. It's incredible! I need prescription readers now, though, so I can do my up-close stuff without my new far-sighted eye feeling wonky. It was expensive but overall I'm happy with the results. Would recommend. Bonus: As the surgeon got ready to perform the minute-long operation, he put on an 80s station and Sade's song Smooth Operator came on. I asked if he puts this song on each time he operates, but he said it was a coincidence.

I had a great experience with Scott Hyver Visioncare, from my very first consultation all the way…read morethrough my post-operation appointment. The entire process felt smooth, professional, and reassuring. I especially want to highlight, Marleny Garcia at the San Ramon office, who was absolutely incredible. She took the time to thoroughly explain all of my options and walk me through the entire surgical process, which immediately put me at ease. I left our conversation feeling relieved, confident, and genuinely excited about the procedure. What really stood out was how personable and honest Marleny was. She shared her own vision journey and personal experience with eye surgeries, which made a huge difference for me. Hearing her story made it easy to trust her, and it was very clear that she truly cares about the patients who walk through the door. I had originally planned to consult with other doctors' offices before making a decision, but after meeting with Marleny, I felt completely confident that I had found the right place for my laser eye surgery. She played a major role in helping me feel comfortable moving forward. Thank you so much, Marleny, and thank you to the entire Scott Hyver Visioncare team for such an excellent experience!

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.

From the very first consultation to my post-op care, I felt genuinely cared for, informed, and comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Bindi's professionalism, experience, and confidence instantly gave me peace of mind, especially for such an important procedure. The surgery itself was quick, smooth, and life-changing. Waking up and being able to see clearly without glasses or contacts still feels unreal. Dr. Bindi took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made me feel like more than just another patient. His attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best results truly show why he's one of the most trusted and highly reviewed LASIK surgeons in the Bay Area. I honestly wish I had done this sooner. If you are considering LASIK, I cannot recommend Dr. Craig Bindi enough. Choosing him was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I'm beyond grateful for the amazing care and results I received.

Everyone we worked with was am absolute delight and treated my mum with the utmost respect, professionalism and kindness. Big shout outs to Renee who was instrumental and made us feel so comfortable, Dr. Koushik who was impressive, charming, and made us feel very safe, Jennifer who handled communications and who made us feel happy first thing when we walked in, and Sara who was a delight, explained the pre-op so well and definitely left an impression. These are just the people I got to meet during the process, so a shout out also to everyone I didn't get to meet who at every moment throughout silently reassured us that our mum's eyes were in good hands. In addition to the experience with the doctors and staff, the ambiance of the offices were great, with music, snacks coffee, and air conditioning to keep us cool and comfortable while we waited, and a slew of patient testimonials that each rung true and were diverse in background and need. And I would be remiss and incomplete if I didn't say a little word about how easy and fun the post-op process was. I say fun because mum definitely did her best Big Lebowski impression the rest of the day following her operation with her brightness reducing glasses which reminded me of those old HD wraparounds from the tv ads. There was also a weekend at Bernie's reference made while she slept and rested, only in jest of course. To sum it up, this process was tier one, and an eye-opening (I couldn't resist...) masterclass in how a medical office should treat its patients. 10/10 wholeheartedly endorse for anyone considering mending their eyesight.

The team has been very supportive for the past two weeks. They were listening to a lot of my questions and my concerns for the past two weeks. I am super thankful for Patrick, Annie, and Sheen from the start of my pre-op. Thank you for giving me two cute stress balls for me to squeeze during the operation. They were super helpful! I have been wearing glasses since second grade, and I woke up from a nap after I got home from recovery, and as I'm reaching out for my glasses, I'm like, wait, I don't need this anymore! So it's definitely gonna be an adjustment where I don't have to lift my glasses every time they slide down from my nose, I don't have to have that behind-the-ear pain from the frame that hooks behind my ear anymore, no more foggy glasses when I wash the dishes or when I eat hot, soupy noodles. Super excited to have a life without glasses, and definitely a big adjustment and emotional experience. Thank you to the team at the IQ Laser Vision!

I had LASIK surgery with Dr. Scott Hyver in 2016. One of the main reasons I chose his practice was…read morebecause of the Extended Care Program, which gave me confidence that if my vision changed in the future, I would have access to enhancements. About two years ago (2024), I noticed my vision starting to decline and contacted the office to ask about an enhancement. I was told my vision hadn't changed enough to qualify yet and that I would need to wait. Fast forward to now, and my vision has continued to worsen - especially my distance vision - to the point where it has begun affecting my ability to drive safely. When I contacted the office again, I learned that Dr. Hyver had retired, but I was reassured that the Extended Care Program is still being honored for his former patients. The process, however, has been frustrating. I was first instructed to see my regular optometrist for an updated eye exam, and then I was scheduled for additional testing at IQ Vision, which I had to pay for out of pocket. I'm not sure why these tests aren't covered under the Extended Care Program, especially since they're required to determine eligibility for an enhancement. I also didn't feel that the subjective refraction performed during my visit today accurately reflected my true prescription. At the end of the appointment, I was told that I might not qualify for an enhancement at all, or that they might only recommend treating one eye. While my left eye is noticeably worse, both eyes have declined since my original surgery, and correcting only one eye would still leave me struggling with the other. It's disappointing to have paid for additional testing without knowing whether I'll actually receive the enhancement that was a key reason I chose this practice in the first place. I sincerely hope this isn't a process where former patients are required to pay for evaluations only to be told they don't qualify. I'll update my review once I know the surgeon's final recommendation. Overall, the customer service has been good. My only negative interaction was when I was leaving after my appointment. Although the staff had already confirmed that I had paid, the front desk employee appeared skeptical and wanted to verify it again while I waited, which felt a bit uncomfortable. Overall: I'm reserving final judgment until I hear the surgeon's recommendation, but so far the experience has been a bit disappointing and costly than I expected, especially given the promises of the Extended Care Program that influenced my decision to have LASIK at Scott Hyver's practice.
