Retina Orange County

Outstanding care. Informative, gracious, knowledgeable, and prompt. All you want in a doctor.

Dr. Vaidya is the absolute best ophthalmologist!!! He is smart, kind and has the kind of bed side manner that all physicians should emulate. Thank goodness for yelp reviews on Dr. Vaidya. I was looking for a retinal specialist and after reading the positive reviews, I decided to make the call for an appointment. Going to an ophthalmologist can be terrifying because these are a vital part of your senses. I was experiencing symptoms that were certainly worrisome but after spending time with Dr. Vaidya, I felt that I was in good hands. Bad news is bad no matter what, but who delivers it by how they do it is crucial to patient compliance and healing. Doctors forget that their patients are scared and don't have the medical knowledge to digest the complexity of their health issues. For these reasons, being in the care of a physician like Dr. Vaidya has been a Godsend. He doesn't make you feel rushed, you leave his office feeling cared about because he addresses all your questions and concerns. And when I had an emergency on two separate weekends, I had to call and was surprised to have Dr. Vaidya return my call with the same care he shows during his office hours. I've had personal experience and have known others who have been scolded or rudely treated by doctors because it was on a weekend. I always feel terrible and hesitant to inconvenience anyone let alone a busy doctor on a weekend, but your body doesn't discriminate weekdays and weekends. Without going on and on about how wonderful this doctor is...I'll just say please do yourself a favor if you need a retinal specialist and go see Dr. Vaidya.

Excellent doctor.

January 13th, 2023 Dr. Vaidya is a kind/ patient /knowledgeable/ professional eye Dr. I place my trust in his recommendations and diagnosis 100%.

I wish I can give Dr. Nadeem ten stars ! I came in to see him earlier than my intended appointment day because I had a feeling that I should see him earlier based on my symptoms. The front desk was very nice to fit me in. Dr. Nadeem was so knowledgeable and kind. He was patient was all my questions and so considerate with my concerns. He wanted to run some blood work to be thorough and rule out any possible issues. I was so surprised when he called me after hours when he was told by the front desk that I had called about some test result and was worried. And although he was not in the office that day, he still called me to reassure me and explained the results. He was honest if there was something he wasn't sure of and suggested I speak with my other Doctor. This takes a both humble and confident physician to acknowledge. I'm so impressed and feel really lucky. Doctors are not God, even if some make you feel like they are. Dr. Nadeem has exemplary bedside manner and the medical knowledge that helps his patients like myself feel like they are in very good hands. Highly recommend!

Five Stars Outstanding! Dr. Vaidya is truly a wonderful, caring, professional, knowledgeable and attentive doctor! He is in a class all by himself. His staff is friendly, courteous and caring. The office is very clean and organized. My appointment was on time and the check in process was very easy. At no time did I ever feel rushed during any part of my visit. Dr. Vaidya went out of his way to ensure I felt comfortable (absolutely wonderful bedside manners) throughout the examination process. He took the time to answer all my questions, he reviewed my records and gave me a complete explanation/diagnosis of my condition and subsequently performed a flawless, successful surgery right afterwards. Dr. Vaidya is one of those special doctors you rarely encounter throughout ones lifetime. I have been seen by many and I must say he is at the top of the list. Thank you doctor.

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.

Doctor Great bedside Manner and knowledgeable. Has been well-trained.

Compliments and thanks to Dr. Vaidya and his team Dr. Vaidya is knowledgeable, professional, gentle and took time to explain the results of my examination which made me feel confident that I was blessed to be his patient. I highly recommend Dr. Vaidya and his team.

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...

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.

January 14th, 2023 On appropriate occasions, I will comment about a remarkable employee or product from which I received assistance or found exceptional. I am writing today to tell you of the incredibly professional and outstanding service I received from your retina OC staff. The receptionist arranged for me to see Dr. Nadeem N. Vaidya, MD, Vitreoretinal Surgeon at Retina OC, on very short notice the same day. The technician was kind, helpful, and efficient, which was appreciated as I could see Dr. Vaidya soonest. This last occasion to see Dr. Vaidyawas regarding a sudden loss of eyesight in my left eye. I had previously been a patient of the doctor for a detached retina. Let me say on both occasions, I was, in short, terrified that I might lose my vision. On both occasions, Dr. Vaiday was incredibly calming and extraordinarily knowledgeable and spoke in a positive/confident manner to say, "we can fix this " and he did so on both occasions. I can't say enough about this excellent doctor; he is kind and will take as much time with you as you need.

This is a very impressive organization. The office is beautiful, staff attentive and helpful, seamless experience. I was having an issue over a holiday week-end, left a message and received a call directly from the doctor. He put me at ease and made room in the schedule for an appointment on the next working day. He apologized that he was out of town and unable to see me immediately. He gave me a referral to an ER Doc in the event my condition worsened or my concern increased.I am very impressed by his attentive caring, clear explanations and an encouraging set of next steps. Great "bedside" manner.Highly recommended.

He is excellent 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 by far the best Retina specialist for us. He's been treating my mom for wet AMD for about 6 months now. My mom is doing much better. She was receiving injections in her eye monthly previously. Under Dr Vaidya's care we cut it down to 8 weeks this time. Next appointment is in 10. Also will like to add that his team is very professional, kind and welcoming. Just the way Dr. Vaidya is.

August 16th, 2019 Dr. Vaidya is knowledgeable, professional, gentle and took time to explain the results of my examination which made me feel confident that I was blessed to be his patient. I highly recommend Dr. Vaidya and his team.

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

Very pleased with my care in this office. High tech equipment along with the doctor's knowledge makes me feel medically on top of the latest care for my diabetic eyes. Highly recommend.

Office ladies Stephanie and Sera great TEN + Dr. Nadeem is also TEN + I highly recommend this office clean and newest equipment. He spent quality and carefully time with me and explained everything to me. I am so happy to find them. Chef Avo.

Most Advanced Just like what it says in their webpage "most advanced" is actually true!!! I ruly believe they have the most advanced equipments.

Excellent doctor very knowledgeable and thorough. He diagnosed my eye told me exactly what is happening and to expect. Recommended the most effective and least invasive treatment, thank you.

Dr. Vaidya recently treated me for a retinal tear. I've had perfect vision all my life so I was terrified to think that I could have a potentially blinding condition. He was extremely understanding of my fears/hesitations in making a decision regarding my treatment options. After all the time he spent explaining my options I felt confident in receiving laser treatment from him. 6 months later the tear is still sealed and I follow up with him regularly. I fully recommend him for anyone looking for a good retinal specialist.

Dr Vaidya is the best. He saved my eye sight. He’s very nice, gentle and explains in details what’s going on with your eyes. Thank you so much doctor for taking good care of my eyes!

Eye Surgery The surgeon and entire staff were caring throughout the procedure.

August 2nd, 2023 Friendly and professional staff Dr Vaidya is excellent and knowledgeable in retinal problem Quick and accurate diagnosis Gave me comfortable assurance

Very nice people,very professional ?

We love Retina OC! The doctor's voice is so calming that it always seems like going to a spa when you go. He is always so patient, in fact, everyone there is always so patient. The receptionists are always super nice and the wait is never long. Out of all the doctors my mom has seen, this is our favorite to visit!

Dr Vadiya is hands down awesome. He's super knowledgeable and thorough.. He's genuine and sincere..My whole family comes here.

Dr Vaidya was just what I needed. I came into the office feeling anxious; he immediately put me at ease with his confident calm demeanor. He quickly got to the bottom of my issues and explained everything thoroughly. He took the time with me and did not rush to get to his next patient. The equipment in his office seems high tech and he seems extremely knowledgeable and educated in his field.Top notch doctor and friendly staff. I highly recommend Dr Vaidya & feel blessed to have found him.

February 13th, 2011 Dr. Vaidya was fantastic. The office was clean and modern and the staff was professional, knowledgeable, attentive and caring. I was referred with a serious problem and Dr. Vaidya and his team took the time to make the correct diagnosis (others had missed it) and start me on the right treatment. I'm starting to see better.

I had an appointment with Dr. Vaidya here this morning and was so impressed. The staff is very friendly. Dr. Vaidya is one of the nicest doctors I have ever been to. He explained everything he was doing to me step by step. I never felt rushed because he only schedules one patient at a time. He listened when I talked and I feel so fortunate that he is here in Orange County.

Exceptional Ophthalmologist Specialist in Retina!!! I consulted him for a 2nd opinion assessment of my eyes. Dr Nadeem Vaidya took his time to assess, explain the retina scan/ images and cared about my concerns. He's straightforward with the options as well as risks versus benefits !

August 29th, 2021 I’ve seen Dr Vaidya twice for retinal issues, he instills confidence and calms you down at the same time. Easygoing and charming. Not a bad combination.

Everything was on time! I feel that doctor really cares about patients. Nice receptionists. Deffenetly will recommend this clinic if someone from my friends need to see retina specialist!!!

December 14th, 2017 Calm, Bright, Communicative! What else can you ask for.

Doctor Vaidya is fantastic! He checked my eyes thoroughly and explained all the details with patience, and gave me the possible solutions. highly recommend!

Went to see Dr.Vaidya, he took the time to answer all my questions today. He did a great job explaining things to me, I never felt rushed. He really was very easy to talk with and really took the time to listen. Very knowledgeable on the eye and I learned alot about my eyes during the visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Vaidya. Also the staff was very nice, Broken even took the time to call me back after I asked the Dr. a question before scheduling me in. Great Experience!

I almost never write reviews but this time I really felt compelled to give my feedback to the community. Dr. Nadeem Vaidya is a rear gem in the modern world of high speed and high volume healthcare. We met when my wife had a very scary experience with a serious ophthalmology problem and Dr. Vaidya was able to provide her with absolutely best possible treatment! Not only he is an amazing and highly talented retina specialist, but he is also a caring human being whom you trust completely starting from the moment he enters the room. It was very easy to schedule an appointment, reach out to him with all kind of questions, etc. We never felt rushed or neglected, on the contrary he made it his priority to accommodate all her needs. He was patient in answering questions, explaining things and making sure that the message came across. He performed a procedure with great skills. All in all, Dr. Nadeem Vaidya is truly a Doctor with a capital D whom I would be honored to recommend to anyone. Thank you!

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!!

Five Stars Excellent doctor.

He is excellent 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

December 14th, 2017 Calm, Bright, Communicative! What else can you ask for.

Five Stars My experience with Dr. Vaidya was wonderful! His manner was warm and caring and I really appreciate the amount of time he took to explain fully my condition.

Go to Dr. Vaidya. He is thorough and makes an intelligent assessment of his patients. He patiently listened to my concerns (including the ones I had with my previous doctor) and devised a plan that worked for me the first time. I had terrible allergies but his expertise extends beyond that (something about macula care?). Ask him questions, he'll answer them. Present your concerns, he'll listen and understand themBonus: high-end check-in service and the ability to set up appointments online. All digital = Me like!

First of all, this review is long overdue, and I agree 100% with all the other comments.Dr. Vaidya is outstanding! His calm demeanor, patience and expertise put me at ease when he explained the treatment I needed for my detached retina and retinal tears and holes. When the day arrived for treatment, I was quite nervous as I went in, but I soon relaxed just by being in his presence. His level of professionalism is beyond measure.Dr. Vaidya is exceptional, and I encourage you to visit his office for your eye care needs. His team is fantastic as well. Everyone is friendly and efficient.

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.
