Had a basic eye exam w/ Dr. Hinrick. The Tech, who did most of the work, was thorough and efficient. Overall good experience.

I've been a patient for 8+ years. I continue to be impressed with the professionalism and care provided by Dr. Prendiviile and his staff. I am consistently treated in a caring and respectful a manner. Appointments are always available and are fulfilled on a very timely basis. Most importantly, I have faith that the treatment I receive is the best available locally.

I can see! I can see! Dr. Prendiville performed cataract surgery on me with amazing results! He is an excellent and caring surgeon with a pre and post op regiment designed to ensure that all precautions are taken and that the result of his efforts and that of his staff are excellent. After talking with others in my peer group who have undergone cataract surgery, it is apparent that the South Coast Eye Center goes to extra lengths to make the outcome a good one.

Dr. Prendiville was very professional, caring, patient and explained in detail what was going on with my eye. I highly recommend Dr. Prendiville!!

Cataracts formed on one of my eyes and I went to Dr. Prendiville. He was informative and reassuring and the staff was friendly and professional. The surgical center (Laguna Niguel) also gave me a very positive experience. I know I will go back when I’m ready to do the other eye.

Dr. Patel did a fantastic job with my surgery for the cataract that had suddenly formed in my right eye and helped me choose the best lens. I didn't want to always wear glasses and wanted to minimize night halos and glare. She pointed me to the Clareon Vivity IOL, and I've been very happy. I can now see distance, mid-range, and close-up clearly. I can use my phone and read books without glasses. I wear readers only occasionally when reading tiny text or when my eyes are tired from extended computer use. I highly recommend Dr. Patel and the Vivity lens.

Dr. Prendiville was extremely kind and attentive in referring me to a specialist. My daughter and I were particularly impressed that he actually got the specialist on the phone in order to get me a timely appointment. I really appreciate Dr. Prendiville's kindness and expertise.

I had such a wonder experience at South Coast Eye Care with Dr. Patel, her surgery coordinator, Demi and the entire staff. They were extremely competent and kind and I now have fabulous vision with my new PanOptix IOL. I am so glad I opted for this lens replacement! Thank you to all who helped make my cataract surgery the remarkable experience it was.

Dr. Prendiville, his surgery coordinator Demi, and all of his supporting staff were amazing throughout my experience with South Coast Eye. Everyone was extremely supportive and reassuring throughout my cataract surgery process. I really appreciate all of their expertise, patience, and accommodation. I highly recommend their office if you are in need of cataract surgery or any other eye care.

Dr. Alpa Patel did a great job with my cataract surgery. The difference in my vision is amazing! Dr. Patel and the staff at South Coast Eye Care Center are very friendly and professional. They really care about their patients.

One of the questions Dr. Alpa Patel asked me at our first visit was, “ Are you ready to get rid of your glasses?” She had no way of knowing just how many pairs I had since I started wearing them at 40, and I bought frames like other people buy shoes. She explained I was a candidate for cataract removal and lens implants. Think she was the first to say cataracts too, no surprise at 77! She explained laser treatment of the cataracts and the following outpatient lens surgery .. First one eye then the other about 4 weeks later. There were detailed instructions for a good recovery and then we talked about lenses. My insurance covered the procedure and what I would call ‘ usual and customary lenses’. The best lenses called Clareon Vivity would have a cost to me as well as outpatient surgery copays. I’ve been using Care Credit for my medical/ dental costs costs because of the convent payment plan at No Interest! My experience was a good one , I recommend Dr Patel

Smooth experience. Staff was very helpful and help calm my nerves. Procedure straight forward—excellent care from Dr. Henrick.

I was referred to Dr. Spanggord after cataract surgery in my right eye did not have a good outcome. When I initially saw Dr. Spanggord she told me that I had pterygiums in both my eyes that should have been removed before having cataract surgery on my right eye. Dr. Spanggord preformed surgery removing pterygium from both my eyes. Then she did cataract surgery on my left eye, the outcome was incredible. The day after surgery at my post-op I now have 20/40 vision in my left eye (before the surgeries I was legally blind). I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Spanggord, and her efficient staff.

Excellent ?? great doctor. I would recommend Dr. Patel to family and friends with confidence. Staff as well.
Velma
One month out from having cataract surgery—one year out from a vitrectomy to fix a macular hole. It’s been a journey but a successful one. Dr. Patel was terrific as was the staff at South Coast Eye Center. I have a small clear bubble in eye that was repaired, from the vitrectomy, something I have to train myself to work around but my vision, considering the circumstances is in good shape. Dr. Patel was patient and thorough explaining my options for cataract surgery. I chose the best lens and laser surgery and am glad I did! Your vision should not be where you scrimp—get the best, it’s worth it! Eventually the other eye will need cataract surgery and it’s a given that Dr. Alpa Patel will be the person to take care of it. Vision with the new lens is better than I expected, and better than it’s been in many years. Highly recommend South Coast Eye Center!
Dr Alpa Patel recently performed my surgery to remove cataracts in both eyes. I chose to have AcrySof Vivity IOL's implanted to correct serious nearsightedness. After wearing glasses for 60 years, I have the best vision I've had in my entire life with no glasses at all! I couldn't be happier with Dr. Patel's knowledge and skill that led to wonderful results for me. I found all of the people I worked with at South Coast Eye Care Center to be kind, professional and more than capable. A great experience overall!

Dr. Patel is a great surgeon who performed my eye surgeries. She explained my lens options, along with recovery time. I selected the PanOptix lens and no longer need glasses.

I am 75 years old woman. I had cataract surgery on my both eye. Dr. Alpa Patel performed Laser surgery which to me took only few seconds. No pain, no discomfort at all. After that she put New Lenses called, Vivity . These Lenses giving me 20/20 eye vision. Clear and perfect for reading and distance. I don’t need any glasses and I am extremely happy and pleased with this surgery and my Dr.
Lisl Kinsella
Wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Patel and to get the PanOptix lens. It may cost a little more but you have perfect vision for life. No more looking for glasses and having to replace them. Surgery is a piece of cake and very short. I’m 75 and so delighted to have such great vision.
Diana Janes
Dr. Alpa Patel is a fantastic eye surgeon and a wonderful person who carefully monitored my surgeries and recovery. She coached me for several months making sure my procedure was a success, and it was. With the PanOptix lens, I am now seeing 20/20 vision and no longer need glasses for reading or driving. Cathy Hill helped me with proper procedures and knowledge of usage for drops and dosages. All the staff is pleasant and knowledgeable. I would recommend everyone to check out South Coast Eye Care Center first for the best care for your eyes. And definitely get the PanOptic lens.
