I would like a second opinion. Dr Patel "stated that my eyes looked fine. Also said that laser treatment was done last year .". I don't recall having that type of surgery. Dr Michael Morris eye exam on 9/09/24 for new glass stated
I should have my eyes examined further because of changes in my eyes he saw. That is why I would like a second opinion.

May-2024
I reached Pasadena location and was told my company AltaMed is not contracted by California Eye specialist. The manager forget to inform me and I had trouble reaching there, with insurance ride. Gross negligence. In past too I had problems with the front desk staff, rude and arrogant staff, even optical department do not want to work. Then why do you give the BOGO 50% offer for glasses. My insurance had approved my glasses. Dr Patel and Dr Amini are the best eyes doctor, not the staff.
May-2024
Always kind and thorough
May-2024
I do not have any problem with Dr Pate, the problem is the person test my eyes. I did not like her at all . I feel not treated the way I was expected
May-2024
Disappointed in the staff that is not That organized. I still can’t believe I was in the surgery room to have surgery with no lenses there. No one caught it until the doctor realized there was no lenses. Th Thank God They did not put the wrong lens in my eye. I can’t believe that the staff could not figure out that that they never sent me to have my eyes measured. I finally got my measured for my eyes, May 6 2024. Thank God !!!!! the doctor Realize it before they put me to sleep. Maria Ramírez. 3238681599 😂😆

Dr. Patel is one of the nicest doctors I’ve ever had, not to mention the highest regard for him as a super skilled surgeon.
Jan-2024
Very nice doctor he's very polite great attitude...But he had told my mom his assistant would come in to take pictures of her eyes so she wouldn't have to take a trip back to the office because it's so far and he never came in to take pictures just told us we would be going to Glendale now. We were a little upset because his assistant should of took pictures of my mom's eyes for her cataract surgery
Jan-2024
I don't think I had the proper exam
He just look with a light at the eyes and that was it
I'm going to request a second exam if not a'm going to have to pay to another doctor
Will not be check by him again
I had my eyes check before and he did not check them properly maybe he was in a rush
Jan-2024
Dr. Patel listened and understood my issues regarding complications from a cataract surgery. He prescribed medication that hopefully will correct my issues.
Jan-2024
At my age, I have been to many different doctors office and Azul has to be THE WORST. When a patient has a referral to see a specialist, IT SHOULD NOT take 4 to 5 months to see a doctor. As a patient waiting to have cataract surgery is nerve racking enough and the staffs at Azul not being there for the patient is ridiculous. I don't understand why you have surgical coordinators who don't do any work. They don't take calls or ever call patient on the status of their surgeries. It's crazy how the surgery center calls 2 days prior and not the coordinators. Thanks for the LAST MINUTE NOTIFICATION! Like we the paying patient have nothing better to do besides waiting for the surgery date and time.

Apr-2022
Over all, Dr. Patel has been a diligent provider of optic care, but since I have not completed my treatments yet or recovered completely, I am reluctant to give a final approval.
Dr. Patel knew he would be a doctor at an early age. Out of high school, he attended the Medical University of Lublins accelerated 6 year MD program. He has since travelled to places like India and the Dominican Republic to volunteer his expertise and perform numerous surgeries on those in need. Dr. Patel is a proud member of the Cal Eye team and is excited to be providing his ophthalmic expertise to his patients. He and his wife, a psychiatrist, are happy Pasadena residents and love exploring restaurants in the area.
Extremely pleased with his attention to detail thank you
Put me at ease, answered all questions and laid out the situation and surgical solutions available- also best option. I appreciated his demeanor and knowledge very much. Grateful he will perform my Surgery.
Compassionate, friendly caring doctor
Very skilled doctor with compassion for his patience. Available

Dr. Patel is taking care of patient all the time. He is kind and professional. Dr. Patel is the best doctor.
I would like a second opinion. Dr Patel "stated that my eyes looked fine. Also said that laser treatment was done last year .". I don't recall having that type of surgery. Dr Michael Morris eye exam on 9/09/24 for new glass stated I should have my eyes examined further because of changes in my eyes he saw. That is why I would like a second opinion.
Very helpful and listens to my concerns.
Very professional and does a great job explaining your procedures.
