Totally recommend Retina OC. I was referred by my optometrist and Dr Vaidya was able to see me immediately. He was very thorough and took very good care of my issue. I am very pleased with the follow up. I was also very impressed with his staff, particularly Christy at the front desk.

I'm SO thankful I got a second opinion and saw Dr. Nadeen Vaidya. He was able to find a medium size hole in my left retina even though I was just told by another retina specialist that I had nothing wrong with my eyes. HIGHLY recommend this doctor. He's very kind and patient. I really appreciated that he took the time to really understand what's been going on with my eyes.

Positive experience My first visit with Dr Vaidya, he took a lot of time explaining my condition to me and also the treatment plan. He is very patient and took time to answer my concerns and questions.

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

May 6th, 2018 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 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.

Dr Vaidya is great! He is very thorough in his exams and assessments. He is polite and kind, as is his staff. I highly recommend him.

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.

Positive experience My first visit with Dr Vaidya, he took a lot of time explaining my condition to me and also the treatment plan. He is very patient and took time to answer my concerns and questions.

Dr. Vaidya is an exceptional retinal ophthalmologist. He has the best and newest equipment and I've never had a more comprehensive consultation. Dr. Vaidya uses computer-generated visuals while explaining every detail of each eye. I've never encountered such an informative and easy to speak with doctor. Am grateful that I am now one of Dr. Vaidya's patients.

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

Excellent & knowledgeable doctor who quickly examined me and made a diagnosis that eased my mind. A specialist who is available the same day is rare and I’m so appreciative.

April 20th, 2021 Great bedside Manner and knowledgeable. Has been well-trained.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great Doctor very organized and uses the latest technology out there. Very in contact with his patients, he is always there if you need him for emergency, He as a great staff working for him . highly recommended. A++++

Dr Vaidya 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.

Thank you to Dr Vaidya and team for the excellent care! I highly recommend. I’ve been a patient for 7 years. Always so professional and caring!

January 12th, 2011 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.

Dr. Vaidya is wonderful! He has treated my various retina issues with skill and professionalism and his staff is great: very friendly and professional. 5 stars!

Just a great experience 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.

Dr Vaidya is an excellent physician. He seems very knowledgeable and explains very clearly. I did not feel rushed. He answered every question and took enough time to explain.Polite and caring. I will highly recommend him for my friends and family. I had very good experience.

My yearly visit to Dr Vaidya is truly life saving and eye-saving for the past 5 years. His staff are indeed professional and helpful. He is patient in responding questions and I highly recommend him to all OC and LA friends and family

Dr Vaidya is wonderful! Takes time to listen to needs and is very patient.We need more Drs like him in the world!

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

He's the best! Calm, Bright, Communicative! What else can you ask for.

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!

Staff and Dr. we're all amazing. Had a great experience and would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you Retina Orange County.

Just a really educated and on top of it doctor. He is personal and friendly and allows him to convey everything you need to know.

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.

An Outstanding eye specialist ! So pleased with his overview and total information! Highly recommend!

All around great doctor - very thorough in approach and evaluation, very pleasant personality. highly recommend

Both my parents have macular degeneration, and they see Dr. Vayidya for treatment,Dr. Vayidya is knowledgeable, respectful, friendly and kind.I sincerely believe we are fortunate that he has set up his practice in Orange County.

Awesome Doc I waited briefly to see the doctor. He was very patient and understanding. I felt very comfortable.

Dr Vaidya and his team are amazing. He is , brilliant, professional and extremely courteous. My 90 year oldMum and I felt like we were in the best hands

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!!!

I really like Dr. Vayidya. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain things to you in layman's terms. I've seen him twice and I think he is a great doctor and it shows that he is an expert in his field. I had been to two other doctors before him who had only partially diagnosed me and didn't really fix the underlying issues. He was able to resolve my main concerns and provided non-steroid, OTC, homeopathic solutions to, hopefully, mitigate my future problems.

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

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.

Dr Vaidya's office and staff are top notch. He is very patient and fully explains everything and discusses all of your options. His office is state of the art and very clean. I have been to other retinal specialists before, but never had one who has taken the time to really explain things thoroughly! If I decide to do the surgery, I am sure I will be in good hands with his expertise- Harvard trained!

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

I would highly recommend Dr. Vaidya at RetinaOC. He's very easy to talk to and really takes the time to explain your eye issue to you, as well as your treatment options. His office is very modern and clean, and his staff is warm and friendly.

I live in Hawaii with plenty of good opthamologist there but I already come back to Dr Vaidya. He takes his time and explains everything and you don't feel like you're being rushed if you have any questions. What a great experience I've had.

March 2nd, 2022 My first visit with Dr Vaidya, he took a lot of time explaining my condition to me and also the treatment plan. He is very patient and took time to answer my concerns and questions.

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

Beautiful office.....friendly staff...very prompt...everything first class. Dr Vaidya is wonderful. He was warm....reassuring and he explained everything extremely well. He was so calm that learning I needed surgery was not stressful at all. So happy I met Dr Vaidya and his great staff!

I am very pleased with the doctor here. He explained to me in detail and in simple words about my condition and he is very pleasant and accommodating. I couldn’t ask for more!

100 out of 10. A model of a medical doctor. He listened well and attention to detail. Staff is also well trained and aimable

Outstanding care. Thorough. Gracious, explained everything, well run office.

Thank you to Dr. Vaidya and his staff for a 5-star appointment. He is an extremely patient, kind, caring, and thorough practitioner. Dr. Vaidya is among the best listeners of any physician, regardless of specialty. He carefully explains answers to questions without rushing, and in a down-to-earth, understandable manner. He earns the highest recommendation possible.

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.

Outstanding experience. Excellent outcome! Dr. Vaidya is the best!

Five Stars Excellent doctor.

Dr. Vaidya and his team are always cheerful, attentive and helpful. The office location and atmosphere couldn't be better and the doctor has always provided outstanding treatment and a most pleasant demeanor.

I was impressed with my first visit to this ophthalmologist. I was the last patient seen and it was my first consultation. I was very much welcome by the receptionist with a big smileThe doctor took his time to explain things to me He was very professional. He answer all my questions fully. He suggested an injection for my right eye with no pressure. Im lucky to choose him as my eye doctor and I'm going back for my follow up because I like the service
