Unlike most reviewers, this is my first time to Dr. Nyssen's practice. Dr. Nyssen combines professionalism with a comforting presence. When I woke up with eye troubles and spotted a worrisome white spot on my cornea, I embarked on a quest to find a nearby optometrist. Fortunately, his office was conveniently located near my home, though it was not open at the time.
In a time-sensitive situation, I visited his office the next morning, despite the fully booked schedule. The staff, understanding the urgency, managed to squeeze me in, and I was more than willing to wait. Dr. Nyssen took me under his care promptly.
In the examination room, he meticulously assessed my condition. His thorough examination included vision checks, comparisons between my affected eye and the other, and a fluorescein eye stain test. It seemed I had a marginal corneal ulcer, potentially bacterial. Dr. Nyssen prescribed an antibiotic eye drop, which I could conveniently pick up at my preferred pharmacy. He also scheduled a follow-up appointment just two days later, going the extra mile by sharing his personal cell number in case my condition worsened. & measured my eye pressure at the end of the examination.
Throughout the visit, Dr. Nyssen never rushed, even with another patient waiting. I would normally not do walk-ins if I could help it, but my situation required immediate attention, and he understood that.
Thanks to diligent use of the antibiotic eye drops every three hours, my eye improved significantly and rapidly. By the end of the second day, I estimated a 60% recovery.
At the follow-up visit, Dr. Nyssen conducted the standard vision test, dye test, and pressure assessment. He reported that my eye had progressed to approximately 80% recovery. The white spot on the cornea was fading, and the redness had nearly vanished. He instructed me to contact him once the white spot disappeared completely, and provided guidance on tapering off the antibiotic eye drops via email.
In summary, my encounter with Dr. Nyssen was marked by professionalism, compassion, and effective treatment. Will probably recommend my mom visit here instead of Costco for her glasses or exams.
He accepts VSP and eyemed, $100 for no insurance exams.
Since my situation was medical, I don't think the vision insurance would have covered it anyway, anthem bluecross medi-cal covered my prescription though.
