Sagun J. Pendse's Online Review Report Card

Excellent ophthalmologist

I had been using a different ophthalmologist and was planning cataract surgery but midway through the numerous office visits leading to the surgery visits decided I was not comfortable with their practice. A friend recommended Dr. Pendse so I decided to try his office. Everything was covered in one visit (not three-four separate visits, each with its own co-pay), I was able to schedule my surgeries, the office kept in touch with me and answered any follow-up questions. The first surgery day went smoothly, saw him the following week as a follow-up, and had the second surgery. Again, smooth sailing and no complications. I’m still in my recovery period, and have nothing but great feelings about his competency, bedside manner, caring, and follow up. His office staff has been wonderful and competent as well. I did my office visits immediately after surgery with Dr. Sui and found her to be excellent too. An overall great experience in my case.

The wait times are just too long. Got a glasses exam from a young girl who was not the Dr. if I’m going to spend $45 for a prescription for glasses, I should be getting the prescription from an optometrist not a technician. I could go to the mall for less wait time but be seen by an ACTUAL Dr.

Front desk is filled with foul mouthed young girls. We could hear their entire conversation from across the room. Been coming there for over 15 years, these young girls aren’t friendly or professional. Disappointed.

My experience today was excellent. The staff was very courteous, pleasant and most helpful. The office was fairly busy, lot of personnel taking care of patients and was clean and orderly. Dr. Pendse was very pleasant, thoroughly explained the procedure, gave me the various options available for my surgery and answered all my questions. I was extremely happy with my visit. I would recommend this office to friends and family.

Thanks to Dr. Pendse I am glasses free after 54 years of wearing corrective lenses. I feel fortunate that I happened to end up with him as my doc. He is so thorough and willing to spend time answering my many questions. The office and surgical center staff is equally awesome. Never had any issues with any aspect of my care. Five stars from me!

5 stars I talked to four ophthalmologists in the Lehigh Valley. Two could barely take the time to talk to me. Another, a lovely man, is older and told me that my cataracts did not need to be operated on right away. I had worn contact lenses for almost 60 years and knew that with NO discernible improvement after inserting the left lens I needed cataract surgery. In contrast, the right eye had good vision after the contact lens was inserted. Dr. Pendse stayed after his office staff had left for the day in order to answer ANY questions which I had. By the time I had spoken with the other M.D.'s most of my questions were answered. I doubt I was given special treatment, but you do need to let them know if you have multiple questions. I had already decided that I wanted the multifocal Intraocular lens which gives the best close-up and distance vision at an additional cost. I have minor astigmatisms and the cost of correcting those with a laser before surgery is included in the cost

You might want to correct your doctor’s bio that states she won the “Thomas Jefferson College ophthalmology award” as this is incorrect.

I recently moved to Bucks County from Boston and needed an ophthalmologist because I have several eye conditions. Dr. Pendse was recommended to me. I could not be happier with the care that I am receiving. Dr. Pendse took the time to review all my records from Boston. I find him to be thorough, intelligent and caring. I feel that I am getting as good, if not better, care than I got from my long time ophthalmologists in Boston.

I recently had cataract surgery in both eyes, performed by Dr. Pendse. My vision is excellent, and I no longer need glasses for distance or reading. In addition to being an excellent ophthalmologist and skilled surgeon, Dr. Pendse has a wonderful "bedside manner," and his office is efficient and friendly. I could not be more pleased.
