Dr. Patel performed a thorough eye exam, including dilation and retina evaluation, he communicated all the vision exam findings to my dad in a clear and concise manner, while also updating his glasses prescription. I would definitely recommend Dr. Patel for all of your eye exam needs. He is knowledgeable, and takes good care of his patients.

From what I understand from office staff, you're being recorded from the time you walk in, in the lobby, and in the exam room. She also told me that's not something they usually disclose. I'm not sure why they would feel the need to record their patients - when the office is open and people are there. It certainly can't be because of past burglaries *because the office is open*. But that was enough to send me walking out the door.

He not only answered all my questions but explained them thoroughly and with great skill. As a nurse, I totally understand their time constraints but I did not feel rushed at all. I highly recommend Dr Nguyen. I was also impressed by how organized, professional and personable his staff is particularly Janice. Janice had everything ready (from scanning my eyes to dilating them). Her infection control practices gets a five star rating, always sanitizing her hands before and after each procedure as well as cleaning the equipment. Carla, the receptionist was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable as well. The guy at the reception desk was ok. There is room for improvement for him.

I saw Dr. Shimokaji for about 10 years as did my son. Thought she was great. Was always put off by…read morethe $250 annual administration fee but I paid it as I could afford it. She was good with my son and while I feel she over tested me for glaucoma (with no family history) I went along with it every 6 months even though the test always came back normal. When my income dropped I qualified for a lower premium through Covered California, the same Blue Shield PPO insurance where she is listed as a provider. Blue Shield assured me it is the same coverage so I was shocked when I went for my exam after paying the $250 for the "administration fee" and the was charged $415 for the exam as she denied taking my revised insurance. So, basically $665 for one appointment! Needless to say, I found a new doctor. They take my insurance no problem, no annual processing fee. I should note, that my other doctors have no issue with my insurance. The new place I found also charges half what Dr. Shimokaji charges for a refraction prescription. While I had a nice long run with Dr. Shimokaji, she just priced me out of her practice. I wish I had searched for someone sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money.

Unfortunately, I was not able to see the doctor due to a $250 up front "administrative fee" to even…read moresee her - a fee I can't afford at this time.

I cannot recommend Dr. Lim highly enough!!! 17 thumbs up!!!…read more She is a miracle worker. I was the biggest scaredy cat about getting my cataract surgery done. I have been wearing glasses since the third grade and I am extremely near-sighted. One of my biggest fears is losing my sight. Dr. Lim made me feel extremely confident about getting the surgery. She explained the surgery in detail and she offered excellent advice about the right type of cataract lenses for me. The surgery itself was extremely quick and painless. I felt like I was at a Laserium show at a planetarium and not in an operating room. There are a number of follow-up appointments scheduled for the day and week after surgery. Both Dr. Chan and Dr. Zhang were caring, knowledgeable, and friendly at these follow-up appointments. The Walnut Creek office staff is also wonderful, friendly, and efficient. Being the nervous Nelly that I am, I did call them more than a few times with my worries. I am now seeing 20/15 out of my distance eye. I can read 4 point type out of my reading eye. I feel I should be on a lecture tour, wearing a Super Hero cape to match my new bionic eyes, touting the wonders of cataract surgery with Dr. Lim. The only regret I have is enduring blurry and dimming vision for a year because I put off my cataract surgery because I was so scared.

She is a one in a million genius eye surgeon with a manner so unassuming and a hand that is so calm and self assured, you pray that she is there whenever you go under the knife. Period! Her specialty is corneal implants. She loves what she does and she loves to give the miracle of perfect sight to her patients. I'm 77 now and one day after the surgeries my eyes tested 20/20 & 20/24. Three year later they still test the same. I'm so grateful to her! It is not surprising to me that she worked with Dr Vastine, the Errol Flynn of eye surgeons. And she was referred to me by Dr Litwin, one of the best. Don't even think about it. Get on her waiting list today.
