I love Dr. Karen Oxford. A. she's smart & knows what she's doing B. She follows up and answers all your questions C. She actually is so open minded that she invited another doctor to visit me during my visit to check her theory (btw I didn't ask her to do that, she just wanted to be sure..) Anyways, bottom line is she's awesome!!

If I could give Pacific Eye Associates 10 stars I would. I first went there with my husband when he had cataract surgery with Dr. Danny Lin. Dr. Lin was great during the surgery, and I took my husband to his follow up appointment. I was a little taken aback by the number of people in the waiting room, but they have things streamlined beautifully. They ask for your name, you sit, they call you to the front desk quickly to verify your insurance etc, and then within a few minutes he was seeing Dr. Lin, who was checking out his eye, and telling him he was good to go (until the second surgery the next week). <br>We live in Marin, so when I had trouble with one of my eyes - I was seeing double even after getting new glasses, I was reluctant to go to the city (my husband works in the city so it's not such a big deal for him). My optometrist sent me to an ophthalmologist in Marin. I won't go through the horror story (you can check Dr. Najafi's page for that) but I was bounced from her, to a retinal specialist, and finally a Facebook friend said it sounded like her cataracts. Back to Dr. Najafi who said "oh look it is cataracts" and scheduled surgery for both eyes (although only one eye had them). I was a little nervous about this, so my husband convinced me to get a second opinion from Dr. Lin. <br>I went to Pacific Eye Associates. Of course Dr. Najafi's office hadn't yet sent my records, but they did their own tests anyway. MUCH more extensive than any of the THREE doctors I had seen in Marin. Finally I had a vision test with the "which is better, #1 or #2" thing and suddenly I wasn't seeing double. <br>Dr. Lin, who is a SURGEON, gave me three options. he said my left eye has cataracts which seem to be growing, and my right eye has a very small one (overlooked by all other doctors). I could have surgery on the left eye, with a lens only slightly better than my natural lens, or have a multifocal lens and wear a contact in my right eye. he refused to do surgery on a perfectly good eye (which the other surgeon was eager to do). Finally he said I could get new glasses, which would make my vision good for a while anyway, giving me time to see what the cataracts would do. Imagine, a surgeon who did not push surgery! I am going with the latter option, and will see him again in a year to see how my cataracts are progressing. What a HUGE relief! <br>I can't recommend them highly enough - no trouble with the front desk, although the appointment was over two hours, that's the same as at all the other doctors I saw, and I went from test to test quickly. Sat about 10 minutes waiting to dilate, but that was really the only waiting I did. THANK YOU to all the staff who were so nice when I was so worried!

My optometrist, Cindy Szeto OD, referred me to Pacific Eye Associates when my cataract had grown to the size that it needed attention by a medical doctor. I was first seen by Dr. Karen Oxford, who thought I might also have glaucoma, so she referred me to Dr. Scott So for further evaluation. Sure enough, I had low tension glaucoma as well. This is an unusual kind of glaucoma that occurs even when the eye pressure (checked by optometrists) is normal, as mine had been for years. Fortunately for me, a new medical device (iStent) had been approved in February 2013 to treat this condition, and even more fortunately for me, Dr. So was involved in all the pre-approval clinical-trials and already had lots of experience with it. So, off I went for two surgeries in January 2014 and now I'm good as new. Along the way, I was so impressed with Pacific Eye, which is owned by a group of board-certified ophthamologists. It shows -- every doctor is an expert in his/her field, and the staff is efficient, smart, and very very nice. The front desk staff was helpful and cordial. The doctor's staff that I worked with the most -- Esmeralda, Dana and Steven -- became trusted friends in just a few visits. I always felt valued when I was at Pacific Eye. Believe me, you owe it to your eyesight to have your annual eye exam done here (they may find something that needs treatment that you don't know about), and certainly if there is a problem with your eyes, you must avail yourself of the expertise of this group. I will be eternally grateful to all of them for their care and concern. And their patient for life.

I found Dr. Seiff to be great and highly recommended among medical people. He is highly skilled and experienced. If you have to wait, notice that he does not rush you. I've rarely had to wait. He is straightforward. I appreciated that. Unrealistic expectations are unfair all around. He has never been arrogant! <br>You should see my skin transplant. Who cares about all the above when what you need is an excellent result. I have a scar. But it looks good two weeks out and I expect <br>it will get only better. <br>Contact me if you are facing a skin graft.
