Derek Y Kunimoto Md's Online Review Report Card

I went with a elderly friend of mine. He was very good to her. She had macular degeneration, he looked after her very well.

I went to Dr K for several years. The cattle car process in his office is not pleasant. He pushes the maxium patients through in one day. One time they got off sequence and the numbing agent wore off before I go the injection in the eye. It sounded like he was using my condition for an experiment when he berated me for scheduling appts too far apart. The timing would mess with his "study". I changed to DR Adelberg. No more injections in the eye. Eye drops ar improving my vision.

Excellent. Staff are all friendly and efficient. Dr. Kunimoto saved my sight.

I took my dad to see dr Kunimoto because his eye was bothering him. We sat in the office over 2 hours then he was taken to finally see the dr. Dr Kunimoto spent less than 5 minutes with him and told him there was nothing wrong. He gave no alternatives or resources or even a suggestion. I was very disappointed with the service. I took my dad to see a Ophthalmologist for new glasses and he was diagnosed with glaucoma. How did Dr Kunimoto miss this? I’m appalled and will never use or recommend Retinal specialists or this so called dr again.

Wait time is unbelievable. I have been here for 2 hrs. And still no doctor. The office staff is rude and impatient towards the elderly. I would not recommend this office.

If you are a patient with an ERM that has been recommended to have vitrectomy surgery, I urge you to get a second opinion. If you do decide to proceed with the surgery, please make sure you’re very clear of the potential risks. I WOKE UP during my victrectomy surgery in December 2018, which would be on the anesthesiologist. The doctor simply but firmly said “don’t move” and then they knocked me back out. I was terrified waking up, knowing that he was in the middle of surgery. I ended up have a stoke in my eye (NAION), which has left me partially blind. When I called after the surgery to explain my concerns with my lack of vision, they were repeatedly dismissed by his office staff telling me that it can take 3-12 months to fully heal. At my three month follow up appointment, I was told by Dr. Kunimoto that I had the stroke and that explained my vision loss. He compared it to being stuck by lightning and was “no one’s fault”. I deeply regret going through with the surgery with Dr. Kunimoto and his staff. The follow up service of his staff (or lack of) is even more regrettable. As others have previously mentioned, carve out at least 2 hours for an appointment. All but one of mine have been significantly longer. Get comfortable with a large waiting room full of people and hanging out while you wait for your precious ten minutes with the doctor. The only appointment where I did not have to wait that long was the actual surgery. I hope that you, too, aren’t “struck by lightning” and left partially blind.

Our appointment was for 2:25, we arrived 15 minutes early. It's now 4:45 and we have still not seen the Dr. If this were for me instead of my wife I would have cancelled and left 90 minutes ago. There are no excuses for this.

Looooooooong waiting times, unhealthy waiting room full of hot air a real sespool of pneumonia. No place to sit. Standing room only.

The wait time was what I expected. After taken back to the procedures, it was very efficient and went quickly. Dr. Kunimoto was very efficient and after the exam, he communicated his results in a easy to understand manner. Quite happy with my exam.

Office staff is unable to handle the load. this is a very busy practice. wait times are very long. calls are not returned. very, very frustrating
