Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent eye doctor whose main concern is making sure his patients have the best vision possible!

I highly recommend Dr. Zdral. I recently completed lens replacement on both eyes. Dr. Zdral and his staff immediately put me at ease, explained all aspects of my eye problem (cataracts), and answered all my questions. Dr. Zdral is professional, kind, and has an impressive resume as a teaching surgeon. I was impressed to be provided with a packet providing step by step instructions prior to and after surgery. I referred to it often. Sight restoration was immediate after surgery. I could not be happier and wish I had done it sooner! In addition, this is the most efficient office I have ever visited. Dr. Zdral has ample people at the front desk and back office to fulfill patients' needs in a very timely manner.

Waited for 95 minutes before seeing the doctor. Doctor came in, talked with me for 1 minute and 53 seconds then was done. I understand the prep of having the eye check, dilation and photographs but that should take 40 minutes maximum. After all of that, I still had to wait for a room. I arrived a little early and still had to wait forever even though I was told I had the earliest slot for the type of appointment I needed. How was there no room available?!

I have been seeing Dr Zdral for 16 yrs and I can say that he is the best Ophthalmologist around. I have had Diabetes 46 years and when I moved to CA he was highly recommended. Being a Diabetic my biggest fear is going blind. He and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable. He looks very closely to watch any changes within the eyes and I am very appreciative. I am always put at ease because they are very friendly. He is the best of the best!!

I found Dr. Zdral to be very attuned to his patients. He always answered all my questions and concerns. When I had my cataracts removed everything went very well. I had no discomfort at all and was very please with the entire experience. His staff is pleasant and efficient..

I am disappointed with the results of recent cataract surgery. Instead of the state of the art IOL my eyes are worst now. After spending a few thousand dollars on the best lense in the business and that "I won't have to wear glasses" now I have been told I should wear glasses.I keep on going back to correct the problem all i get is more bills and no resolution.

Dr. Zdral is very professional, polite, personable and came highly recommended by nursing staff at another separate facility that we go to when asked who they would refer their family to since they know his demeanor. We both went to see him and he really cared about our concerns and eye issues. He goes beyond most doctors in reading his bio to teach patients how they can maintain good eye health or delay progressive problems when feasible, that is how committed he is and gained our loyalty.
