I was referred to Dr. Bansal after being diagnosed by an eye doctor with a detached retina. Dr Bansal and his staff were able to see me, no waiting, that same day. Dr. Bansal took a great deal of time explaining my condition, the treatment options, the range of outcomes, and the overall process. I had surgery within 48 hours, with excellent results. I found Dr. Bansal to be a very skilled and knowledgeable physician, his bedside manner is outstanding. During follow up visits he has explained issues and answered questions in detail. In short, without his care, I would not have sight in one eye. I have a new appreciation as to how that would have impacted my career and quality of life. Many thanks to Dr. Bansal and his staff.

I had half my retina detached and two tears in the retina as well. Dr. Bansal and his staff was excellent! He was accurate and skillful in reattaching the retina (yes I did what I was told to aid the healing) and I have regained full vision from what was to be a blind eye without his skill. Excellent bedside manner!

After a different eye surgeon performed cataract surgery, I had some complications in both eyes that required emergency retinal surgery. That ophthalmologist referred me to Dr Bansal's group as the best practice in the entire area. I was able to see Dr Bansal that afternoon even though he already had a full schedule. He made room for a brand new patient. He took a real interest in my situation and clearly told me what my options were. Frankly I was scared since loosing my eye sight was definite possibility. His caring demeanor and friendly style really helped relax me and I was so happy to hear him say "I can fix this". He canceled his plans for the evening and stayed past office hours to perform my procedure just as soon as possible for the best outcome. A few weeks later I needed a similar emergency surgery in my other eye and Dr Bansal took extremely good care of me, this time on a weekend (both Sat and Sun visits!!!) His caring nature for patients must be contagious because his staff are all equally amazing. (Ami, Jo, Thnuja) He has called me at home to follow up and really shows that he truly cares about his patients. He saved my sight in both eyes and my vision is the best it's been since I was a child. If you have any side effects from cataract surgery (flashing lights, shadows or block vision, lots of new floaters) then you MUST immediately call Dr Bansal's office. Time is of the essence and they will treat you well.

I am not sure when I saw him first time, but after that I truly believe I can totally count on him and have confidence in him. I will definitely recommend all my friends and relatives to choose this doctors.

He is a great Doctor, really knows what has to be done and does it. He lets you know up front all that has to be done, and wants you to understand everything that has to be done. He is also great with family members who need a simpler explanation to understand. He is one of the best in his field.

I was referred to Dr. Bansal after seeing my eye doctor for black dots in my eyes. Best referral EVER. I made appointment for the next day and after Dr. Bansal made his initial observation it was confirmed my retina was detached and surgery was scheduled the following morning. Believe me, I didn't take the news well, surgery is my biggest fear. Before, during and after the surgeryDr. Bansal was terrific, professional and most of all, calmed my anxious self. I really can't say enough good things about him. I will refer him to anyone who needs a great, better than anyone else, compassionate physician.

I developed a hole in my retina and was referred by my local eye Doctor to see a specialist. I was very nervous and not seeing properly was awful. I found Dr. Bansal to be very personable and caring. He explained the procedure to me and I had complete confidence in him. My eye is still healing and I am so grateful to him for restoring my sight with all his knowledge and skills. We, with eye problems are so lucky to have him.

My optometrist recommended Dr. Bansal as a retinal specialist when I developed a floater that caused a ripple in the back of my eye. Fortunately it was minor and after a followup with no changes, no surgery was required. I found Dr. Bansal to be very knowledgeable, thorough and professional with a friendly and caring manner. I've really enjoyed my experience with him and his staff.

Dr. Bansal and his team at Northern California Retina Vitreous Associates are simply outstanding. From the very first visit through the on-going check ups, Dr. Bansal was patient, informative and genuinely caring about my condition. His 'bedside manner' needs a 5th star! I would recommend Dr. Bansal without reservation--he truly is a credit to the medical community. We are fortunate to have him and his group practicing in the Bay Area.

I was referred to Dr. Bansal for a retinal tear. On my first visit he diagnosed my problem, described the treatment I needed , and answered all of my questions. It has been nine months since I had my laser treatment and I am very happy with the results. I feel that Dr. Bansal is very skilled, very kind, and an exceptional caring doctor.
