Always a good experience with Dr. Vu and the staff at this busy, but well-run, office. No one like having a needle stuck into their eyeball, but this crew makes it as literally and figuratively painless as possible. Highly recommend.

Dr. Mathai has been taking care of my diabetic retinopathy for nearly two years. I am now stable, my vision with my glasses (always worn) is 20/20. The treatments were easy, and her manner is gentle, always ensuring my comfort. If you need an eye professional... she is the person you should choose.

All staff were very professional and polite.Dr. Mathai was very empathetic when I told her my dad had passed last week. 🌹🙏🏻💔 Also, I will be sending a few family members who have vision difficulties. The work she and Dr. Turlapati have done have allowed me to once again become sighted, and not walking around using my white blind cane! This has allowed.me.to be able to see👀 new and old faces and to read books again without using Braille or having to be read to. I am thrilled to have this part of my life restored!!! Sincerely, Claire Delores Parks
