You are greeted by a very courteous staff. Once appointment begins, technician explains the testing to be done . Once testing complete Dr Salib performs thorough eye examination. He is always pleasant and explains what he finds and any referrals or procedures he might recommend. Discusses if and when any follow-up appointment may be needed. Expect to wait about 10 or 15 minutes before seeing Dr Salib. Dr Salib has been my eye doctor for over 15 years. He's one of the best in his field. I highly recommend him if you need eye care.

Both Dr Salib and Staff has your best interest
I had cataract surgery in both eyes. Left eye is Perfect 20 x 20 The right eye is still being worked on due to extreme dryness. I would be satisfied with the small improvement but the doctor is not ready to give up trying. So I have been going for 8 months once a week and he now scheduled me to see a top colleague at UCI. Understand I have only been charged the initial cost. I never experienced such a dedicated doctor in any field. He is treating me like family and he expects the same from his staff.

Would not recommend
This doctor had good reviews and good credentials so I trusted him to remove a pterygium in my mother's eye so she could have cataract surgery. I'm not sure what happened during surgery but afterwards she was in incredible pain. When I called the office the week after surgery I could only speak with the surgery scheduler who I am not sure has any medical training. She kept saying pain was normal, and just wait for the follow up appointment. She said he was not available by phone, email or text. At our appointment Dr Salib seem worried. When I asked him what was wrong he said nothing and gave us instructions to follow. After more visits and his continued denial that anything was wrong two weeks post surgery he finally told us that a hole had developed in my mother's eye--which he tried unsuccessfully to treat--and we had to go to the ER at UCI immediately. It was too late to save the eye, and my mother had to have a cornea transplant and now has lost most of the vision in that eye.

Great visit
My appointment with Dr. Salib was incredible. His staff performed several tests to get the best information about my eye issue. Dr. Salib then checked my eyes and was able to set up a procedure to correct my issue. I am very satisfied with the results and highly recommend Dr. Salib.
