My boyfriend and I were referred to RDC by our optometrist as he was having great difficulty with his sight on his right eye. To complicate matters, he did not have insurance. We made an initial appointment to the Disalvo office in San Jose with the doctor.
We were very anxious given the condition of his right eye and the fact that he had no insurance. We talked with the doctor and explained his condition and situation. After extensive testing/examination, the doctor very patiently listened and took the time and explained to us his diagnosis, his treatment and payment options which put us at ease and gave us a sense that we could trust him. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and we really appreciated that he listened and thoroughly responded to all of our questions and concerns.
We have since received two treatments with him (at his other office in Campbell) with good progress and we are very encouraged for a full recovery. Based on our experience, we highly recommend RDC and would not hesitate to recommend his services to family and friends.
The staff was also very accommodating with scheduling and pleasant which we appreciated.

I have been going to RDC for almost two years now after being recommended to him by my current eye doctor. Having both lattice degeneration and high myopia, I have had two preventative laser surgery treatments by the doctor with great results. Have never had any problems with wait times or the front desk, they are incredibly charming and kind individuals.
I am incredibly grateful to have found RDC, as the doctor has helped me lots with my eye conditions. He is informative, well-read and kind. I highly recommend him to anyone with a retinal condition.

So glad to have been sent here. Went in with a detached retina (screw you HIPAA) and left a plan, went back, consult, and then vision restored!
And isn't that what it's all about?
The front desk staff is awesome. Friendly people--been joking with them about what kind of ice cream I get after I'm done. The various techs, and doctors are friendly too.
I assume that a place like this is where you find a lot of stressed out patients. You don't go here for a new prescription for your contacts. You go here because another Dr said "oh crap, you need to go here." That kind of stress is like a lead balloon on the mood of an office. These guys seem to handle that in stride and give patients--by my observation in the waiting room--the care and attention they need to get through it and back to life.
Note to people walking outside. When you cross the exit for the parking area here, turn your head and look for approaching cars. There's a Retinal Diagnostic Center here so, uh, there might be some people behind the wheel who are still recovering from having their eyes dilated or are otherwise not seeing as well as they could/should. Sure, they probably shouldn't be driving, but sheesh
