The reviews listed below were collected independently of Pacific Eye Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I had 65 years worth of history to explain to Dr. Bekendam about my eyes, and I had to make it thorough, but quick.
Dr. Bekendam listened to, and understood every word. After examining my eyes, he came up with a professionally creative plan of treatment that I'd thought was impossible. I had to hug him because he is truly amazing.
