Dr. Lingappan is an incompetent ophthalmologist! Patients beware!! I recently lost vision from macular degeneration. This did NOT have to happen. With this eye disease I should have been seen every six months after the age of 50, and told of all the dietary precautions I could take to assist in slowing the disease down. I was told absolutely NOTHING. I am now a Will's Eye retina patient with lost vision due to her incompetence. In Dr. Lingappan's words, " so sorry ,you must of slipped through the cracks!" So BEWARE if you have been diagnosed with dry macular degeneration, it needs to be monitored and you don't have to lose vision if it is detected early transitioning into the Wet MD. There are medications to help you keep your vision and prevent it from getting worse. You will not know it is happening as one eye provides for loss in the other eye. Use an Amsler's Grid everyday to protect yourself. This is all the information that I did NOT receive under Dr. Lingappan's care. A life changing mistake for me. I pray it doesn't happen to anyone else. If diagnosed withAMD go to Will's Eye immediately for the best care.

Went to this doctor for 30 years and they dropped my insurance in April. They no longer take VSP. Told me my husband on Medicare and gap was covered. Today They asked if we would pay $50 for refraction we said no. Tech didn't do it. Doc walks in and does it and charges $50. Office manager says he signed for it. Umm no he refused it. Since I have VSP it would have been covered at a different place. Lost 2 loyal patients. I lost a days pay and $50 because I was lied to begin with then lied to by the office today. Doctors expect loyalty but have none tor their patients

Had to reschedule a follow up appt for this morning because I was called into work. I really needed to either see my doctor or see another one because the problem I originally went for is still very bad. The original doctor can't see me for a month and they won't let me come into see a different doctor even though I'm still driving with double vision. The office manager that I spoke to this morning was very nasty as was the phone person that I spoke with this afternoon. I can't believe they are actually allowing me to keep driving with double vision instead of getting me an immediate appt with a different doctor in that practice. There are many. I was thankfully able to get an appt with SJ Eye Physicians for Friday. They realize the importance of been seen quickly. Office staff sucks. No help at all even in an emergency situation.
