I had an amazing experience with Pacific Vision Institute. Dr. Faktorovich and her team were thoughtful, caring, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process. They made me feel comfortable and well taken care of every step of the way. My recovery has been amazing so far, and I’m already seeing 20/15 just one day after surgery, which honestly feels incredible. The level of skill, attention, and support from everyone on the team was truly world class. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else for LASIK. Huge thank you to Dr. Faktorovich and the ...
Just wrapped up my LASIK surgery, and honestly, it was the smoothest experience I’d never done anything like this before, so I was excited but definitely a little nervous. The whole process was made so easy from start to finish. My counselor Ana walked me through everything so clearly and made me feel super comfortable before surgery. Dr. Kodira and Dr. Paktorovich was amazing too, such a great surgeon and really calming throughout the procedure. It can be scary having things near your eyes, but her guidance helped me stay relaxed the whole time. The ...
The best decision ever! I had an ICL surgery at Pacific Vision Institute 6 months ago! My vision has been transformed by the wonderful team at Pacific Vision Institute! Throughout the process, their support has been professional, encouraging and reassuring. They also made every effort to ensure that I received the best possible treatment, tailored to my needs, which were pretty complex. I will always be grateful for their help.
Thank you Dr. Parra and everyone at PVI! I’m generally not the kind of person to leave reviews but my experience at PVI was truly life-changing! I have been thinking about LASIK for some years and finally reached my breaking point, not wanting to plan my life around my contacts and glasses. I had seen all the amazing reviews and from the second I walked into PVI, I knew I was in the right place. From the front desk all the way to Dr. Parra, every person I encountered was kind, professional, and truly exceptional! Dr. Parra is the expert on the new ...
Absolutely incredible experience with Dr. Parra!! My vision is honestly better than it’s ever been. The entire experience, from start to finish, I felt incredibly cared for by the team at Pacific Vision Institute. It’s very clear that incredibly high standards and a culture of excellence is in place at PVI and Dr. Parra is a shining example. I specifically came in because I was interested in the new ray-tracing LASIK plus technology and knew that PVI is the only practice in the Bay Area that offers this technology. Dr. Parra is the expert on this new ...
Absolutely wonderful experience! Dr. Parra was professional, thorough, and incredibly kind. They explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable and cared for during my visit. The staff was friendly and efficient as well. I highly recommend this office to anyone needing excellent eye care.
