Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Dr.
Dr. Niespodzany is amazing. He answered all my questions and listened to all my concerns and thoroughly explained everything and helped me make decisions for my care. He is professional, knowledgeable, dependable and inspires client trust. From the first appointment all the way to follow up after surgery he provided consistent quality care as well as being helpful, knowledgable, and kind. I definitely recommend this exceptional doctor.

Excellent and professional from start to finish!!!
Dr. Eric was recommended to by a friend who had a great experience. I am really glad I saw him for the Tecnis Oddyssey IOL implants. I have worn contacts for 5 years. By doing the cataract surgery and upgraded lenses I never have to mess with contacts or glasses again. The money I paid for the upgrade will pay off in a few years of what I spent yearly for contacts. I can see far, mid and near. His staff from front office, assistants, financial, surgery staff and especially him were amazing and professional. They all were very friendly and showed they cared for my experience. He was very informative, kind and professional. The surgery was efficient and immediate. It did not hurt and I was able to drive and see the next day. It was all very easy and I am so glad I had the procedure done. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Contact Dr. Eric if you want the best care and see how it will be great for you too.

I will tell everyone about Dr. Eric
Dr. Eric took the time to answer all of my questions, and addressed all of my concerns. I had my cataracts removed without any anxiety meds and Dr. Eric was there to sooth my anxiety. He's the best.

Great experience
I was referred to Dr. Eric for cataract surgery for a severe occurrence in the right eye from radiation treatments and a birthday related cataract in my left. I was very nervous, but Dr. Eric and his team were understanding and reassuring. The level of care was excellent. The entire staff is pleasant and accommodating. Dr. Eric listened to my concerns addressing each one individually. The level of consideration that was given to my case was beyond any expectation that I had. He explained each step of the procedure and options available. Provided ample details to make an informed decision. The surgical team was excellent. They were all very caring and comforting. The tech who administered the IV was very good. Minor pinch, and NO bruising! After the procedure, my vision was not only restored, but improved. Corrective lenses are no longer required. I am so glad I went to Dr. Eric. It has literally been life changing to see with both eyes again. Thank you Dr. Eric and team!

My experiences with Dr Niespodzany
In my recent visit I noticed a one thing that I would change. Your receptionist staff are all sitting at the front counter but there were many patients waiting for service and they waited for up to 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged them. Your patients are your life blood so I would instruct the front office staff to stop what they are doing and help the patients. As far as Dr. Niespodzany, I think he is wonderful. Very easy to talk to, explains what he is doing so that I was informed about everything. The entire surgical experience was extremely easy and I felt comfortable that I was being cared for. I think Dr. Niespodzany is great!

I love my new eyes!
Recently I had cataract surgery with Dr. Eric. Before the surgery date, I met with Dr. Eric to go over the procedure and he explained the different options of lenses that were available to me. I felt the consultation was very thorough and informative.On the day of the surgery, I was extremely nervous ahead of time just thinking about the procedure, but the staff and Dr. Eric made me feel very comfortable from the minute I arrived. The surgery was a great success, and I am beyond pleased with the post surgery results. I no longer have to start my day wearing glasses from sun up to sun down. I can now see the road signs when driving, the birds in the trees, and so many other things that were lost to cataracts.I highly recommend Dr. Eric and Pacific Clear Vision Institute!

Cataract surgery
Dr. Eric was able to explain to me so that I could understand what was going to happen and the expected results. Though there were some minor complications he knew what to prescribe to correct them. The complications were not of his doing and he explained what they were and proceeded to to prescribe a solution to fix them. Every thing turned out good.

Dr. Eric and his staff were excellent in every way. I had some complex issues as a whole. Needed cataract surgery. Was also given the opportunity to treat my Glaucoma with a newer procedure. Those issues were also more complicated by RK surgery I had in the 1970’s. Dr. Eric explained everything clearly before I decided to go forward. At the surgery center, I had cataract surgery on both eyes. And Dr. Eric also treated my glaucoma by placing a stint to help control pressure. Several months later, and I’m very happy with the results. I currently need no other corrective lenses, and have not needed eye drops daily to control glaucoma pressure.

brilliant Dr,
Dr Eric was a joy to work with. spent time listening to what I hope to achieve with my cataract surgery, he then put the lenses he would give me in glasses so I could see how things would look, I found this tremendously helpful and finalized my decision to have the surgery. He was always kind and caring and explained every thing in a way I could understand. Just had my last appointment with him but to get in touch if I had any questions. I am thrilled with my new eyes and they do exactly what I was hoping for. Many thanks to Dr Eric and his staff.

An Excellent Experience.
Dr Eric was wonderful. At my first appointment, He thoroughly explained the procedure to remove my cataracts and insert the lenses. On the day of my surgery, he was very comforting and calming. As anyone can imagine, I was very nervous. But he was there for me. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have this done. Additionally, the office staff provided me with options to finance the procedure.

Very pleased after cataract surgery on both eyes.
I previously had RK surgery so my cataract surgery had to be done a little bit differently. Dr. Eric explained everything in advance and I am very pleased with the results. He and the staff at the surgery center were very caring and put me at ease. I would definitely refer my family and friends to Dr. Eric for any eye issues.
