Patient Reviews
Oct 29, 2020
I've been putting off surgery for cataracts in both of my eyes for quite a while now so when a friend of mine recommended Dr. Caplan at Berkeley Eye Center, I decided to set up an appointment. This happened during Covid-19 right after they began lifting the restrictions so I was very pleased with their procedures for making sure both patient and staff were protected. I found their staff to be cheerful and helpful and I liked Dr. Caplan from the moment I met him. My appointments were on time with very little wait time. The surgery happens in a professional and normal surgical environment, complete with anesthesia. I thought Dr. Caplan was great and so was his staff. The recovery period is rather quick and just requires me to be meticulous in sticking to the schedule for drops in my eyes. I'm seeing better than ever without that veil the cataracts cause and will continue to look back on it as a very positive experience. Thanks Dr. Caplan and to your staff as well.
