Peninsula Eye Physicians and Surgeons

Two years ago, my vision suddenly declined. After a thorough examination and diagnosis by Dr. Drinnan, MD, and the team at Peninsula Eye Physicians, I was diagnosed with cataracts and underwent surgery. My eyesight has since fully recovered and remains excellent. I'm deeply grateful to Dr. Drinnan and the entire clinic team for helping me see the colorful world clearly again. Thanks Dr. Drinnan and Team

P. E. P is an amazing clinic, ran by very passionate and driven professionals that are fully prepared to help you. I can say this for sure because of the care and how that care in conveyed. A smile for greeting, soft and compassionate tones to welcome you and to ask what you need assistance with or whom you are here to see today. People these days do not understand that tone of voice is one of the most important aspects to feel welcomed in a space where maybe your not familiar with or simply put, maybe you are just scared of what is to come when you do get that eye exam. They have a great selection of frames from different brands as well. And will be able to style you properly too. I recommend coming here for your next eye exam or something more detailed orientated regarding your eyesite. Thank you Oliver and team

I'm a patient of Dr. Vinca and Dr. Huang at this office. Dr. Vinca is the most skilled surgeon and Ophthalmologist in the bay area hands down and Dr. Huang is the best optometrist that you could ever have. They are very knowledgeable, detailed oriented, and deeply care about their patients. I should also note that the staff are very helpful, kind, and positive too.

I brought my toddler here for an eye exam and had bad medical experiences. In summary, the service was impatient, inattentive, not punctual, and bare of communication. After my child's pupils were dilated, I confirmed with the front desk if we could leave, but received "yes" without any warnings. Later, I discovered that after dilation, avoiding bright light was necessary. Dr. Ornitz did not engage in any communication or provide comfort to my child during the first examination. She hastily completed the check-up in about 3 minutes. In the second examination, there was also almost no communication, and it took less than 10 minutes. After the examination, Dr. Ornitz discussed the results with me. Due to her fast-paced speech and her mask, as a non-native speaker, I couldn't understand some words. When I sought clarification, she chose to skip over rather than explain. Throughout the conversation, she expressed herself quickly and seemed indifferent to my inquiries, whereas another clinic patiently explained and offered daily care advice. She mentioned another room was waiting for her, so she needed to end the conversation. The entire dialogue lasted around 5 minutes. During the two hours we spent in the clinic, we observed a total of 5 other groups of patients, yet in her visit notes, Dr. Ornitz emphasized how much time she spent with us.

A great clinic for your vision and eye health. As a visual media producer and professional photographer, my eyes are absolutely critical to my work and life. After suffering from major eye aches and pains for years due to constant pixel-peeping at my computer screen for hours at a time, I decided to get a work prescription, even though I had perfect vision otherwise. First I went to my local warehouse optometrist in San Jose who gave me a prescription and felt I had another more serious issue. The glasses helped for about a year but then the intense pains were back. That's when I decided to try Peninsula Eye after some online research. Dr. Wendy Lin has been my optometrist at Peninsula Eye for the past 3 years and she is by far the most caring and able eye doctor you will find in the Bay Area. She found that there wasn't anything else wrong with my eye, except the prescription I had gotten from the warehouse. She was spot on with changing my prescription the first time I went in and I haven't had to change it since, with my eye aches all gone. She remembers who I am every year, doesn't rush, doesn't make you feel like a number. When it comes to doctors, too bad they can't all be like Dr. Lin -- going to see them would be a pleasure. The office itself is very nice. Small, quiet and intimate. Subdued lighting. Nice staff. Quick and easy paperwork to fill out. Repeat visits only require rechecking your details. It generally doesn't get overly busy so there are always seats to relax in, and a flat-screen and little, table water fountain to lose yourself gazing at. The optical department is also very nice. They are extremely friendly, helpful and most importantly, patient. They will answer all your questions and give you their true opinions on how the frames look on you. Their frames selection can be better, though, but of course there are many other places to get your frames. Plenty of inexpensive, underground parking at the office building, and the attendants are polite. I'm always in and out of there with no issues, smile on my face. At the time of my review, they accept VSP.

First time visiting this clinic. Dr Koo and the optometrists were amazing. They explained everything nicely and patiently answered all my questions. Didn't have to wait too long for the appointment. Everything was smooth and quick.

We waited for 50 minutes after our scheduled appointment to be served! The technician who took images of my daughter's eyes said she was double booked. Two patients were scheduled for the same appointment! Since my daughter has school after the eye appointment, I informed the front desk staffs and checked with them multiple times for the waiting time. They kept telling me soon but never bothered to check on the status. When I requested them to check with the technician for approximate time, they refused. On top of it, we were told the exam only takes five minutes when we scheduled the appointment. The technician told us that it could be a 45 minutes exam! It ended up to be over an hour appointment for only 10 minutes of exam time with majority of it was waiting time. If I knew it took this long, I would have reschedule it or schedule the appointment on some other day when my daughter has half day of school. We were very disappointed with this service! It seems like none of the staffs, the scheduler, the technician and the front desk staffs are proficient at their job. We definitely not recommend this service to anybody!!

Dr. Vinca is superb! She recently performed cataract surgery on both my eyes. My "new" vision makes me appreciate how precious our eyes and sight are! She is professional and efficient but warm and caring and takes the time to answer questions! Everyone in her office, both optometrists and office staff, were helpful and equally professional. I am most grateful.
