I’ve been going to the Wesleyan location for many many years. I had both eyes cataracts removed by Dr Caplan. I always see Dr Garza. He is very through and extremely professional and listens to you comments and concerns. Then in optical I met w/Roni Kentner this time. She was very accommodating and extremely patient. I feel she gave me her honest options when I asked for them. She helped me through my choices and decisions making the entire experience a joy. I don’t plan to go anywhere else ever.

I don't know why I waited so long to do this! Everyone on the staff, from the receptionists to Dr. Caplan himself, was friendly and helpful. The LASIK procedure was quick and I am loving the results! Tina V.

From the very first consultation my experience with Berkeley Eye Center Greenway Plaza has been amazing to say the least. Alma went through the procedure so that i was well informed about the actual procedure and any side effects i may experience. The procedure went flawlessly and Dr. Caplan provided the best experience one could ask for. I had 20/20 vision the very next morning! Highly recommended! Gilberto Martinez
