Patient Testimonials

I was referred to Dr. Ali Zaidi of Pacific Eye Associates by two of his patients who thought highly of him. The office was very busy and the waiting area was full, but I was seen within 5 minutes of my appointment time. Dr. Zaidi was professional and he took the time listen and to explain the diagnosis and treatment. I never felt rushed.
Eva K.Yelp
Even though he can't directly communicate with my Grandma, Dr. Ali Zaidi still speaks to her and makes eye contact instead of just talking to me to translate. A lot of her past doctors never said a word to her directly, and she can feel really left out because she doesn't speak English. But because he actually looked her in the eye and spoke TO HER, she was put at ease instead of feeling kept in the dark.
