I got referred to West Coast Retina due to an issue I have mainly with one of my eyes. Since it's…read moreregarding the eyes, I was super nervous about seeing a specialist. Receptionist for check in was lovely. They had disposable shades for clients to grab and I thought that was pretty nice. The wait was just a few minutes until Maddie called me in to get my eyes numbed and dilated. Another staff took photos of my retina with a machine and I was brought up to their second floor. I met with Dr. Andrew Lin and Dr. Shah. Dr. Lin took his time to examining both my eyes carefully and I didn't feel rushed. Dr. Shah came in after, did his check of my eyes, and answered my concerns. He even gave me a sample of eye drops that he recommends for my symptoms. They were very nice and professional. The office isn't as modern but it is clean and had everything needed to check on retina health. Overall, my appointment was quick and efficient. I didn't experience bad wait times like other reviews have mentioned. My appointment was around 10am. The waiting room did have a lot of people as I was leaving.

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.

The upper blepharoplasty was performed under local anesthetic and felt effortless! I have recommended Dr. Cox and the procedure to many of my friends who are apprehensive about surgery. The lower blepharoplasty required general anesthesia, which I was dreading, but everything worked out like magic. I woke up from the anesthesia as if I were emerging from a nap. After the bruising subsided in about two weeks, I noticed a significant change--from my eyes looking tired and droopy to appearing energetic and youthful. I'm thrilled with the results and would recommend (and have recommended) Dr. Cox to anyone considering eye surgery. She is the best!

I was there for a very specific single reason - referred by my optometrist to have Dr Kim look at a stye to assess if it needed treatment. Instead I was made to complete numerous pages of unrelated paperwork by the front desk (despite all my data in the system being current)...& then pushed to have a full vision exam/assessment (despite not being there for that purpose and just recently having had one by my outside optometrist). The assistant attempting to proceed with the latter was very irritated when I refused & stormed off. Dr Kim, who has zero bedside manner & mandates you wear a mask to see him, completed his analysis of my 8 week long stye in about 30 seconds with no advice. I will not be back.
