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.

  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 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.

  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!

  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 them

Bonus: high-end check-in service and the ability to set up appointments online. All digital = Me like!

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

  Having been shocked to learn of the severity of the problem I was having with my vision, and extent of the diagnosis, it was incredibly reassuring to consult with a doctor so empathetic and caring; and one willing to spend the time providing so comprehensive an explanation as to both Cause and Treatment. At no point in my dealings with Dr. Vaidya have I been made to feel that I am consuming an in ordinate amount of his time; nor the sense that my questions are in any way unjustified. The overall experience I have enjoyed so far with this clinic, at every level, has been exceptional; and it is truly an exemplar of what one hopes to receive as a patient. I very much look forward to the ongoing care and treatment from a practitioner whom I now hold in the highest regard.

  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.

  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++++

  Over the past month I have been in and out of eye doctors' offices regarding a vision loss in my eye. Very scary as well as frustrating.
Dr. Vaidya and his staff are AMAZING. I called them on a Friday before a holiday weekend and they immediately assured me they would work me in.
Once there, Dr. Vaidya took his time explaining what he believe the issue w/my eye is, however even told me he wanted to consult with a specialist before providing treatment. He took the time to contact the specialist and while she was not able to get me in that day, he gave her my info and told me to call her on that following Tuesday and she would work me in. Since I was leaving his office still unsure of next steps, he was very reassuring that things would be ok and that everything would get figured out.
I find it refreshing that a doctor would take so much time and care with a first time patient. As well as to admit he wanted someone else to look at it to ensure no further inaccurate prognosis.
My experience was exceptional and look forward to working further with him.He is the best of the best as is his staff.

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

  Everything nice
Doctor is nice
Nurses are nice
But the injection really messed up my arm
The bruises don't go away after a month now and my arm hurts  horribly bad.
I won't get any surgical procedures done here.
I'm just too afraid

  I really liked this guy. He listened and had meaningful feedback. Plus he frank yet very  kind.

  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!

  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.
