Retina Orange County

I have been coming to Dr. Vaidya for years and he’s truly one of the kindest doctors I have ever met. I feel like it is such a thorough exam every time. Would highly recommend this office...

January 13th, 2011 Dr. Vaidya is an excellent physician. He has a great bedside manner and excellent clinical skills. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family members

Dr Vaidya is smart, personable, and empathetic. He takes all the time you need at every appointment to answer any and all questions thoroughly, and never makes you feel rushed or like you're just another number on his schedule that day. He remembers you and your issues, which is pretty cool.

He also tells it like it is regarding your condition and treatment options, without any embellishment to persuade you one way or another. He gives you the facts and leaves all decisions in your hands. You never feel like he's pushing you to make money.

I had a retinoschesis in my right eye, and he kept it under observation for several years, never pressuring me to undergo a procedure for it because he said it wasn't truly medically necessary. When the retina finally started detaching, he said it was time, and was even happy to give me a referral to another retinal surgeon for a second opinion. I went to that guy, Dr Brent Norman in Newport Beach, and even though he was older and grayer than Dr Vaidya (more old school experience), his cold, mechanical attitude just didn't connect with me.

I scheduled my reattachment procedure with Dr Vaidya, it went flawlessly, and my recovery went exactly as he said it would. I followed his post-op instructions to the letter (and even more strictly, keeping my head facing down for a week), and now 8 months later my vision in both eyes is virtually exactly where it was before my retina issue -- and with no cataract because I followed his aftercare instructions religiously.

Today I went to see him, 6 months after my last post-op checkup, and he gave me a big thumbs up. He told me to schedule a follow-up appointment 1 year from now... or he said even 2 years if I get busy because things are looking perfect. Not money-hungry at all, love it!

And his reception staff and ophthalmology / retinology assistants (don't know their title) are super friendly and nice, too.

Excellent. Professional. Clean office with ample parking. Great staff and doctor. Very high tech.

For years I went to another Orange County Retina doctor. I felt like a part on an assembly line. Appointments lasted almost half a day while I waited with continuous dilation to finally see the doctors. They could have received much more income if they opened a restaurant inside the office. And the staff was immune to any inquiry about wait times and schedule problems. Zombies would be a more appropriate term than staff.

When i finally became disgusted and decided to jump off the assembly line of care I was receiving, I found Dr. Vaidya. What a difference in terms of treatment and respect. Get off the assembly line and schedule an appointment. You will be pleased.

My husband needed a retina specialist while staying in our Irvine house. We are Florida are residents who travel to our second home.
Dr. Vaida's office was extremely clean and the staff was very helpful.
We would highly recommend Dr. Vaida to patients looking fora retina specialist.

The doctor was nice and patient with all my questions. He explained test results and any images thoroughly. I will return for the next visit.

I found Dr. Vaidya personable, confident and thorough. I was anxious about the reason for my visit and appreciated his open communication during my examination as well as the time spent to answer my questions. Also notable is the experience with front office and associate staff, excellent! I don't have a situation where I currently require regular care from the office but if you do the ability to book appointments and view records online is such a value add!

Always such a pleasure to see Dr. Vaidya for my yearly exams! Dr. V is kind, caring, professional,, knowledgeable and very honest. In fact, after my appointment today, he told me that I am doing so well, that I can probably see him every other year! Such a great doctor!!

First class experience.
Friendly staff. Complete and thorough examination. Very nice doctor.

Five Stars Dr. Vaidya treated my mother at his Staten Island office. She was very happy with the care she received from him and has made him her regular ophthalmologist. She was especially happy at how fast should could get an appointment with him as she would wait 1-2 months for an appt with her previous eye doc. A great physician for anyone looking for a eye doc in the area, great demeanour and very meticulous.

Dr. Vaidya and his staff are the best. I take my elderly Mom here and they take great care of her.
Appointments are always on schedule and the office is super clean!
I highly recommend Retina OC.

I had to see a physician concerning my retina on an urgent basis. I cannot begin to say how wonderful this experience was. They got me in within one day and the doctor was professional, thoughtful, and gave me total confidence. I would recommend my family and friends without giving it a second thought.

Very nice people,very professional ?

Dr. Vaidya is all class. Not only is his office welcoming, inviting, and state-of-the-art, but there is no wait time at all. He personally walks patients through diagnostic tests, explaining everything along the way.

His office is very high tech - he uses ipads at check in!

He takes his time with everyone and genuinely is concerned about their well-being.

If you would like a boutique-style experience that few can match, make sure you stop by Dr. Vaidya's ophthalmology/retina practice.
