Dr Chaya was wonderful from my visit in October and my surgery on Wednesday. He took time to explain things to me and took the unknown fear away.
Maybe my favorite doctor.
Dr. Chaya is a compassionate, caring physician who answered all my questions, explained the cataract surgical procedure thoroughly, and conducted the intricate surgical procedure which dramatically restored the deteriorated vision in my eye to 20/20. I'm beyond pleased with entire process and can hardly wait to have the other eye done.
Dr Chaya is incredible! His level of expertise is great and we could not have gotten more lucky when we started going to him for glaucoma care. He is absolutely the best provider of vision care.
Excellent!
I really like him. Very skilled, caring and professional.
Very patient and informative
Impressive provider! Knowledge base, evaluation, and bedside manners were unmatched!
Dr. Chaya is very kind, respectful, and also answers all questions very thoroughly.
It's obvious Dr. Chaya cares about the well-being of his patient. His explanations were clear.I never felt rushed. He answered all of my concerns. He is definitely a 12/10 physician.
Great
Dr. Chaya was good but we have seen 3 glaucoma doctors now and he was supposed to be the "one" to answer all our questions but we felt the most rushed with him and like we were just another number to him. He explained things but it was like he talked to our primary glaucoma doctor and just said yep I'll validate that! He needs to take a step back slow down and really be present with his patients even if it's only a one time visit.
He doesn't explain me what he going to does.
I don't know.
Dr. Chaya explained things to me in a way that was easy to understand. He also cared why i was there and how he could help me. I will be returning as an on going patient.
My hearing is not the best, but he is patient with me and explains carefully what he is looking at. I am confident in his care.
very informed
I was satisfied.

Excellent patient care and attention to detail.
I fully trust Dr. Chaya!

Each time I talk to him, he made me feel Validated. He said thanks for calling.
I didn't think I would ever be able to let a doctor operate on my eyes and now that Dr. Chaya has operated on my eyes I am so happy I have referred a politician from Wyoming to see him for a conlsultation. Dr. Chaya is he best and my eye sight is so much better. Thank you Dr Chaya!!!

As I wrote previously, Dr. Chaya lets you know what is going on as he is working on your eye. That way you don't get anxious about what is happening. He always asks if everything is ok. He's a very caring doctor.
Very pleased with my treatment. Dr Chaya very friendly and explains my progress and treatment in a way I can understand.
Dr. Chaya was on his A game for my postoperative appointment/checkup. He was very thorough with his exam and concerned with his findings or lack there of. Then I feel he went to a C+ game. Dr. Chaya didn't ever say things looked good but he also didn't come right out and say what he thought was wrong or the potential cause of nearly no eye sight until I asked if he was worried that I still had an active bleed in my eye then he agreed that was his worry. I understand that it's difficult to know how much sugar you might have to put with the facts of someone's health. I don't feel that any sugar should be added to facts to digest. Also following my surgery I was checked by Dr. Chaya's fellow all looked good and I didn't have to return the next day. The fellow said he would call me the next day and check on how my eye was doing. The fellow didn't call me and I had no sight could only see light. I text Dr. Chaya 3 days post surgery and he was very concerned and he called me. Thank you
Dr Chaya is professional and approachable. I would recommend him to anyone needing eye surgery
explained things completely and answered all my questions
I am so glad I went to Dr. Chaya for my cataract surgery! He is a skilled surgeon and his follow-up care is incredible.

Dr. Chaya is the best Doctor. He really knows what he is doing and talking about and cares about the patients well being.
Dr. Chaya and his staff did a tremendous job treating my eye issues. I highly recommend him. The only problem was having to wait almost two months to get the appointment to see him but it was worth the wait.
I have had eye challenges for 65 years. I feel like I can tell when someone is competent or not. The recommendation that I received for Dr. Chaya, his evaluation of me, his explanations, and his plan for future care left me feeling that I was receiving the highest level of care. Would highly recommend him to everyone.
Dr. Chaya was thorough in his explanation of my problems, the treatment options available and the typical risk/reward outcomes.

Dr. Chaya is an amazing ophthalmologist. He always answers my questions, and explains results and proposed care in a very clear way.
Dr. Chaya was and has always been very thorough in his care practice. It appeared to me that he was behind in getting to his patients in a timely manner. Dr. Chaya seemed very rushed to get to his next patient. He mentioned a laser eye treatment but didnt give me his time to explain the details. He wanted me to go to a few different websites and read about the procedure. For that I feel that Dr. Chaya feel short on the full and proper care of his patient.
Good
Very patient with my worries.

He explained everything about my care of what was going to happen. However everything was very quickly and fast.

Dr Chaya is great; the hour and a half wait to see him was hard. I respect the fact that Dr Chaya always takes all the time I need and that he does the same for his other patients. I also understand that sometimes he just cannot be in complete control of his schedule. I just wonder if too my patients are scheduled. I also understand that, because Dr Chaya is so good, everyone wants to see him. He is worth the wait, but it is still hard to wait that long.

The provider was excellent. I had a problem during the procedure with extereme pain at the end, there was no way to let them know. I think each patient should have a call or alert button to press if issures arise. the provider is in gerar looking at the eye and can not recognize distress signals. I have already verbalized my concerns near the end of the procedure I had a 10/10pain level and no way to let them know. Please put a process in place. Thank you.

Not in office when i arrived. no notice until i checked in for appt
Dr Chaya explains everything thoroughly and answers all questions.
Very good.
El Doctor Chaya me ha estado atendiendo en los ultimos tres aos y su trabajo ha sido excelente tanto en mi recuperacion como en el control de mi glaucoma.
Absolutely the best, as both a Doctor and as someone who really cares!
Dr. Chaya is really nice and care about each patient. He is amazing!
I specifically chose Dr. Chaya bcuz after doing research, I felt he would be the most knowledgeable with options and techniques used for glaucoma. I only have eyesight in 1 eye which happens to be my eye with glaucoma. With only 1 visit I am confident he will be able to prolong my vision and keep my glaucoma pressures under control. He was very informative, explained some of the options available and gave me a plan of action. My former ophthalmologist's seemed to be at a bit of a loss on what to do with me bcuz the operations weren't working as well as they were hoping and I was on 3-4 different eye drops to keep my eye pressures under 20. So I was very pleased with Dr Chaya.
He should spend time with his patients at the post surgery appointment rather than sending his associates.
information was timely
I was nervous and anxious and the care providers were positive, encouraging and thoughtful.
Great
happy camper
The entire staff provided me with a very positive experience.
Dr. Chyia always takes time to explain everything.
Dr. Chaya had already completed the Cataract Sugery but my eye needed more time to heal. I was advised on a previous visit to use hot compresses on my eyes & follow a partticular routine, which I did at advised. This visit was a follow-up to check improvement.
Dr. Chaya Is the very best eye doctor I've ever had. He Is simply the best!
Dr. Chaya provided detailed information on every question I posed with clarity and patience
Dr. Craig Chaya is a great vision provider that I would recommend.
Dr. Chiya is great, just too long of a wait
Dr. Craig Chaya is really excellent in all respects.
Yes
I know the man is busy, but I always feel a little bit rushed when the provider visits. It's all routine to him but it's a totally new experience for me, so if he could take a couple of DEEP BREATHS before he enters, that'd make a huge difference.
This was a first visit with Dr Chaya and he was friendly, present and detailed in his exam.
excellent
Dr. Chaya does a good job. However, he had to redo my glocoma exam due to lack of the tech(?) to properly administer said exam. it was uncomfortable to my eyes!
I can't imagine anyone else I would rather have caring for my eye issue. He even gave me his phone number in case problems arose after the treatment.
it is good service.
Reviewed what went well and what didn't. Appreciated the explanation of what happened during the surgecal procedure. Explained what can be done on the right eye on the 30th.
no comment
Good services and very polite.
Thank you for taking very good care of me!
My doctor was very good
exceptional service

He is the best eye doctor in the state you can ever by you side I definitely recommend him
He was outstanding in his explanations on my particular case. I thank him for keeping my eye sight stable.
I have been with Moran Eye Center for years. I trust the doctors and the staff to care for me with compassion and understanding. If I were not treated well I would have left long ago. I was referred long ago by Dr. Smith to Dr Crandall.
dr Chaya is very professional he is another Dr Crandall the best. I felt totally safe in his hands .
Too many patients shoved into not enough time
Dr Chaya's staff was amazing. I didn't see Dr Chaya.

Good
Very nice provider and great service and I would recommend him to people
Great
I felt the exam was somewhat cursory and that he did not seem to be much interested in my case.
Where I work there are some that see him and know of his work.
China enters your waiting room, bursting with energy and you feel more positive about your own self just for being in a conversation with him, listening, listening to his diagnoses and his Encouragement.
Dr Chaya is outstanding! Knowledgeable, thorough, and amicable.
Dr. Chaya has been very good about answering any questions I might have about care he provides. Also, he's made himself available via text message and he's been very prompt about replying when there have been questions about post-op care. And, my surgical outcomes (cataract removal) were excellent.
Great provider who takes the time with the patient to ensure you understand diagnosis and treatment plans.
Dr Chaya is very knowledgeable and professional. He listens to you and is willing to answer all questions

Very positive experience and took time to explain the procedure
I feel very fortunate to have had my eye surgery with such an outstanding opthomologist. He is the best!
This Dr. Is the best there is. He tells you what he is going to do asks if I have questions. And has humor
Dr Chaya was direct and matter of fact which I like. He explained a first plan of action which seemed reasonable.
Dr. Chaya did an excellent job and I am grateful for his skill and excellent work!!
Excellent Doctor
Tal como lo explique anteriormente el me dio una informacion del procedimiento que iba a tener y esto me hizo sentir tranquilo al temor del tratamiento de recibir el Rayo Laser y su explicacion del tratamiento de las gotas oftalmicas a seguir, me senti muy bien posteriormente

The only reason I am still considering the next eye surgery is that I like Dr chaya

Drs. Chaya and Gibbons are both very professional and empathetic.
Makes you feel comfortable and is understanding and explains things.
Dr. Chaya instills complete confidence. His approach is appropriate; our eyes are special.
Wonderful doctor

Courteous with good explanation.
Dr. Chaya was patient and courteous. He listened carefully and reassured me.
Dr. Chaya is knowledgeable and skilled. He was thorough and helped me understand my condition while creating a treatment plan for a highly complicated case. I'm very grateful.
All very good as far as ratings. Only other comment is he is in a hurry but that does not affect his quality of care.
El es muy amable ; pero el da de la cita no pas con l; dijeron que no era necesario porque estaba bien; pero si yo quera me pasaban con el; pero tena que esperar
Exceptionally professional with latest technology developments and research.
Es una persona que te pone mucha attencion y se preocupa mucho por sus paciente me encanto el trato que me dio definitivamente lo recomiendo .
Great doctor that I trust with my eyes.
I walked out. I waited for over 45 mins and no one came to see me. I explained I had to leave a job site to make the appointment, based on my previous statement i over heard ( in the waiting room) another patient had missed her appointment with my physician by over an hour
My doctor was fine but I saw 2 interns first and the nurse assistant twice before I saw my doctor it was confusing.
Doctor was great. I felt confident with his care and future eye surgeries.
Doctor Lee was doing the procedure and I Think he was a fellow, So doctor Chaya stayed right there and told him everything to do if he needed it. That put me at ease.
Good
The doctor was going to send some information in writing and he never did
Good Service
Dr. Chaya is excellent. I have already recommended him a friend, who is in need of his specialty, and others for general eye care.
Made a surgical appointment for me prior to discussing it with me
Dr prescribed home tonometer. This arrived by mail a few days later with many instructions & video. It was very difficult to learn how to use. Having someone at the office demonstrate this would have been very helpful. Also the instructions were sometimes not contradictory from the email (from the company providing the device).
Dr.Chaya took time to call me before ever seeing my son. We were traveling from out of state for him to do surgery and before arrival he called us and helped us get all our questions answered and got us set up to limit our travels back and forth during hard times. Dr.Chaya and his staff were beyond amazing. Thank you so much for the wonderful care of my son.
Takes so long to get into this provider
I have had a good fortune of having Dr. Chaya perform surgery on my damaged eye and his follow up care has been phenomenal. I have been completely impressed with him, his team and their caring service.
Very caring, knowledgeable. Explains what he is doing and what to expect. Straight forward.
Dr. Chaya took more time to explain what was taking place in my eye following my eye surgery. Dr. Chaya is usually in a hurry to get to his next patient but this time he did not seem to be. He asked me more questions about my eye following surgery and the medications that he prescribed. I hope his activeness was not only because he had a visiting Dr. following with him.
I'm very pleased with the doctor and staff, the best care
There was quite a delay due to overbooking which required six to eight people to wait in the little room after your eyes are dilated.
Muy profesional como doctor no deja ninguna duda muy buena atencion
Always great.
I had no idea another doctor in training would be doing my surgery. Although Dr. Chaya was there, he was instructing a less experienced doctor to do my surgery. I don't feel I was notified properly about this ahead of time. It was a surprise to me that Dr. Chaya was not conducting the surgery on his own.
todos mui a mables
Very informed and concerned.
He was wonderful and answered all of our questions. He took time to explain things and we felt his concern and interest.
Dr. Chaya is very understanding about my eye problem and made sure I can have my surgery within a few days. He felt a need to get it done as soon as possible.
Craig Chaya did an amazing job on my eyes. But his friendliness took his work to an even higher level. He made me relaxed and comfortable.
Dr. Chaya really listens to his patients. He keeps up to date with the most current medical advancements.
Dr Chaya is an excellent physician who really cares about me as a patient. I recommend him highly for glaucoma and cataract surgery.
Dr Chaya had come highly recommended by several acquaintances and I was certainly not disappointed. He addressed my every concern with great consideration and explicit explanation and professionalism needed for me to make informed decisions about my care moving forward. He made me feel like I was not just a patient, but a friend he was genuinely concerned for. Uncommon in this day, but very welcomed.
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly
He is the best of all. He explained the procedure in detail and answers all the questions. I will refer him to my family and friends.

Listens, caring never felt I was being rushed. Very knowledgeable
I feel Dr. Chaya is an excellent surge on and eye care specialist. He shows great care for his patients (me) the many days before surgery and the day after surgery with him promptly answering my questions through text messages or a phone call back from him when needed. I would highly recommend Dr. Craig Chaya to anyone that fits in his line of expertise.
We have trusted Dr Chaya for about 10 years now. He is knowledgeable and remembers details about us.
He is the tip of the spear. EXCELLENT
Dr. Chaya was primarily the attending physician for my surgery. With the few interactions that I had, I appreciated his straightforward and considerate communication.

Dr. Chaya is amazing! He listens, is very professional and a great surgeon!
I like him. He gets the job done, and I can still see.
Same as always Dr. Chaya is very nice and explains what he thinks is the best options for patients care but is still in a big hurry to move on to the next patient. Which I think takes away from getting the best experience. Stay a bit more calm and give your patient a few more seconds of your time by asking if they completely understand the information.
He understood all my issues, and explained everything very well.
Excellent
I'm clad he was my doctor, though I had a different doctor on the day of my surgery because Dr. Chaya had so many other patients. The doctor who did the surgery was very nice and I felt confident that everything would come out fine.
I can't imagine a more interested, capable doctor. I have the utmost confidence in the care he renders and his decisions for my wellbeing. I have highly recommended him to several others and will continue to do so.

Dr. Chaya is a champ. There is no doctor who parallels his expertise! We are 100% grateful to him for his compassion, his judgment, and his wisdom.
Extremely professional
Despite his seeming heavy patient load, Dr. Chaya is always most polite and professional while not rushing with me as his patient - taking the necessary time to carefully listen to me.

He is very good Doctor, I feel very comfortable with him.
Dr. Chaya always takes time to explain and answer questions!
I felt a bit accused of wanting a procedure that I did not need. I was sent to the Redwood location after it was suggested from the Westridge location that I have it checked out by the this specialist. I realize that they were trying to speak to me so I would understand, but it really came off like they were talking down to me like I was a child
I have had good experience with Dr. Chaya previously. After such a long wait it seemed he rushed through the appointment.
Dr. Chaya is terrific. He took extra time to explain the results of tests and options for further treatments. He recommended physicians who would provide future care.

Dr. Chaya in every way equals the mastery of his mentor, Dr. Crandall--and, although he does not prefer bolo ties, he perhaps actually exceeds him in some ways. I've had them both, so I know. Personable, exacting, careful, expeditious, and courteous.
Dr. Chaya is terrific. He is very empathetical and so is his staff.
Best eye doctor.
Thank you.
Dr Chaya is terrific. He is caring and makes you feel very comfortable. He genuinely listens and is so easy to talk to about your concerns and options for treatment. I drive over 200 miles to see him and it's more than worth it!!
Dr Chaya has been taking care of me for years. I trust him with my eyes, he is the best.

All very professional. I was very apprehensive about surgery
Chaya is the best. His demeanor is warm, friendly and he takes the time to answer and explain everything.
He is the best! I always enjoy seeing him.
Amazing God has definitely blessed this man with an extremely wonderful gift. He takes young children that have extremely high hopes of seeing again. How wonderful, Dr. Chaya is very easy to understand when he explains the procedure that he will be preforming.
Dr Chaya is so kind and compassionate. He works so hard to keep me seeing.
A great Doctor
