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.

My family have gone to Dr. Decker for years. I was due for an eye exam in March but due to the pandemic I was reluctant to go into the office. After pushing the appointment out several times I did go into the office today. I have to say it was a wonderful experience with Dr. Yang and all the staff. The Doctor explained all their protocol to me and I felt so very safe. Dr. Yang is wonderful in explaining my medical issues and answering all my questions. Jennifer was wonderful explaining their protocol as well. Andy is always so pleasant and knowledgeable and makes one feel at ease. I give 5 stars to San Jose Eye Institute for having such wonderful Doctors, staff and an exceptionally clean office!!!I'am so happy I went forward with the appointment and felt very safe during this covid time!! Thank you San Jose Eye Institute for your service, cleanliness, and consideration for your patients. Denise R

Joseph Decker, MD, has been my mother’s ophthalmologist for many decades. She had I have always been very pleased with his care and the outcomes of his treatment. His surgical treatment of her cataracts was excellent many years ago. In more recent years, he identified her dry macular degeneration at an early stage and his careful follow up and recommendations have kept her vision good. He has a kind, thoughtful and thorough manner. Though he is an older physician, he continues to provide excellent care and stay current.

This is a doctor who actually listens to you. I first saw Dr. Decker for cataract surgery in 2001, & he removed the cataract in my second eye in 2003. I still enjoy the benefits of the multi focal implants from my two surgeries I now see Dr.Decker for dry eyes due to Sjogrens. Dr. Decker has painlessly inserted tear duct plugs and helped me with medications. Dr.Decker has a wonderful staff who have helped me with the insurance paperwork & how to obtain my medication for the best price.

I have been a patient of Dr. Decker’s for many years! He is a skilled physician who is up-to-date on the latest treatments. The entire office has a welcoming atmosphere and I’ve observed that they give personal attention to each patient. Despite being in high demand, Dr. Decker takes his time to listen and answer questions completely. He explains all options for treatments and considers what will work best based on the situation and the patient’s tolerance for the prescription- I’m so fortunate to be Dr. Decker’s patient.
