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

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!!!

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.

Great practice with compassionate care and understanding. The doctor spent time with me and explained everything to me.

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.

I sought out Dr. Vaidya for second opinion and a thorough eye exam. I encountered a highly professional approach, helpful, open and understandable communication not only from the doctor, but also from all the staff of the office. The medical office is excellently equipped and offers patients not only top medical care, but also excellent comfort during the examination. I definitely recommend a visit if you are concerned about the health of your eyes.

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.

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.

Came to Dr. Vaidya because I had an eye issue that needed urgent attention and couldn't get an appt. at the other opthamologist in Newport that everyone says is the best. Dr. Vaidya is absolutely amazing. Thorough, great bedside manner, kind and explains everything is detail. So glad I found him. You will not be disappointed.

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.

Have been seeing the Dr Vaidyq for over 3 years. He has been extremely detailed in his examination and in explaining his diagnosis. Excellent office environment and ease of making appointments

I am so glad I was referred here. Dr. Vaidya and his staff were amazing! I came in with a couple of concerns and all of my questions were answered. I really appreciate that Dr. Vaidya spent time answering my questions and going over everything. The game plan that we came up with was great and I left feeling very informed. His staff was super friendly and the office was very clean. I was extremely impressed that I received a phone call from Dr. Vaidya regarding a concern that we forgot to discuss at the time of the appointment later that day. I definitely recommend Dr.Vaidya and his wonderful staff. Thank you!!!

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.

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.

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!

The ladies infront and the drs assistant were all very nice .The doctor himself is great ! ?

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.

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.

Excellent doctor.

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.

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.

Dr. Vaidya is always knowledgeable, kind and very professional with amazing bedside manner. My mother suffers from wet AMD and had been going to several ophthalmologists, Arcadia, Pasadena, all over, big USC and UCLA names but never like Dr Vaidya. He's up to date on the latest research and new technology and new therapies. I totally recommend him.

Very nice people,very professional ?

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.

Dr. Valdya took the time to go over my retina. He answered ALL MY QUESTIONS with no rush. It's been a while, where I left the doctors office feeling not rushed. Dr. Valdya is on top of it and my laser surgery was scheduled. His office staff is very friendly. I can't say much more. What else can you ask for?

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Dr. Vaidya is an excellent and caring specialist in the area of Retina diseases. I was under his care for treatment of Wet Retina Degeneration, and I am fortunate that his accurate diagnosis and excellent treatment prevented loss of vision of my diseased eye. Also all associates in the front office and exam room were always considerate, pleasant, and caring...... Thank you all.

February 15th, 2011 Excellent doctor.

March 13 2015 Seham RAGHEB (PATIENT) The staff was professional and caring they knew the meaning of URGENT,when i asked for the nearest appt. as I was scheduled (abroad by another Doctor) for an injection that was past due,they rescheduled and I had it....I really felt I was important to them. Dr. Vaidya was caring,gave me enough time to discuss my options. I think he is one of a kind.I thank him.

Dr. Vaidya is a wonderful doctor, who has won my confidence and trust in treating my diabetic eye problems. I am so happy to have found such a knowledgeable, competent, and caring Retina Specialist!!!!

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.

Dr. Valdya is caring, thorough and very informative! Will recommend to my friends, patients and family. Dr. Gong

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 !

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.Dale MarcoLaguna Niguel

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!

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

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

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!

First time coming here and it was a great experience. From super friendly people at the front desk to the Dr himself, I was very glad I chose them. Everything was explained in detail and all my questions answered with patience. I highly recommend them.

Dr Nadeem is one of the kindest and professional doctor I have. He is very patient and thorough in briefing me on my condition and provide expert advices. He performed gel injection and laser treatments on my eye due to retinopathy with very little discomfort and put me at ease.

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.

January 13th, 2011 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

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.

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. 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!

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

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.

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!

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
