Dr. Kim and staff have been taking care of me for the past 10 yrs! He has always been nice, professional and a great Clinician! Highly recommend this practice!
I went to Vantage, not a day too soon, because I believe they saved my eyesight from glaucoma, and Dr Richard Kim is a godsend in that specialty. I’m forever grateful to him for his expertise and concern in my case. Thank you!
The administrative staff and related professionals were helpful and efficient. I was seen within minutes of my scheduled appointment. The ophthalmologist was thorough and gave me a good description of my eye conditions and the potential treatments.
I got right in, had very courteous staff, got my check-up done in a timely manner. Dr. Chen is very knowledgeable and a great doctor!
I have been a VEC optometric patient for decades. This was my first visit with an ophthalmologist. I experienced a very short wait to begin my visit with the VEC professionals. Each of them was helpful when answering my questions and concerns and explaining the purpose of each test.
Salinas is sooo lucky to have such an advanced eye care center like Vantage. It is a clean, modern, well organized and well staffed facility with outstanding physicians.
