David P Bui, MD

Dr. Bui performed a Pitosis correction on myself and upper and lower Blepharoplasty (eye lid surgery) on my fiancé. He also added a natural crease to her eyelids.
Both procedures were short (1 hour for mine, 90 minutes for her).
Very little discomfort during the procedure (just a minor bit while numbing), and a little minor post surgery discomfort and swelling.
We returned to work 2 days later, had the stitches removed after 7 days and returned to our normal activities including weight lifting after 7 days.
I would rate the experience A+ and his work A+.
Not only did we see immediate results, but are excited about the final look after all swelling is subsided.
We would highly recommend him.

I had my LASIK procedure done with Dr. Bui, and he’s been unbelievably helpful through the whole thing. He did extensive tests to make sure I was a good candidate for the procedure, and also made sure I knew the risks going into it.
I ended up going for the bladeless procedure, and I’m glad I did. Not only was it safer, it was also perfect for how my eyes were.
It’s been about a month since my procedure, and I absolutely love my newfound vision. Highly recommended.

Let me say that Dr. Boi is an amazing man, a professional and caring Dr. His office/​billing staff however, are unprofessional, disorganized, over burdened and bitchy at best! Every time I’ve gone there the front office staff seems completely overwhelmed and well the male office manager is crazy! They called me to make an appointment for my elderly father and hang up on me when I get frustrated when I forgot the name of the medication he was using. something they should have known if they had his chart! The new girl thought I was yelling at her. hung up. Called back. got the phone handed to the office manager cause I guess I was sooo unreasonable to say. «shouldn’t you guys know what med my dad is on… you prescribed it and didn’t you call ME? Office manager goes into a ten minute rant on how only rich people will be able to see Dr. Boi going forward (my dad has blue cross and medicare what the hell?) and that they can’t keep staff and they are very stressed out cause they are overworked because of Obama care lol. seriously? Your psycho lack of professionalism you are going to blame on the President? So ya. great doctor if you don’t mind dealing with his front office.

Dr. Bui saw me on an emergency basis today. That alone gets him five stars. In addition, however, I found him to be nice and efficient. His staff was also very pleasant and a special shout-​out to Kathy (sp?) who arranged to get me in on short notice.

Great eye doctor. Had surgery in both eyes and I can see really good now. No side effect, no complications. Everything went well. Highly recommended.

UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY/​UPPER EYELID surgery: If I could give him 10 stars I would! Dr. Bui is so nice and the STAFF are wonderful! WOW!!! I got my surgery almost 3 weeks ago and am SO EXCITED!!! I have wanted this surgery for a while… I have done EXTENSIVE research about the procedure and wanted to get it done by someone who has A LOT of EXPERIENCE and knew what they were doing… after all, it is your face and the eyes are what everyone immediately looks at. I went through MANY, I mean MANY websites of surgeons who were around the bay area. I noticed that many other surgeons before and after pictures didn’t have much of a difference and I wanted a difference! –I came across Dr. Bui’s site and I’m SOOOO Glad I did! He is very experienced and based on his expertise in ophthalmology and microsurgery, I felt in good hands. The procedure was done under local anesthesia… recovery has been great and not painful at all! I look less tired, lively and my eyes look bigger! can’t wait to see my final results!!!

I was referred to Dr. David Bui by a friend. I found the office staff to be polite and professional. Dr. Bui performed an upper eye lift and I am very happy with the result. He was knowledgable and very skilled. Not all ophthalmologists can perform this procedure with satisfactory results since it not only takes skill but also an eye for the aesthetic that the patient desires. Once you see the before and after pictures it becomes quite clear that Dr. Bui is very talented with this type of surgery.

Not a good experience at all at this practice (this is not a reflection on Dr Bui specifically however as we engaged with others there). I was referred to them by my pediatrician for my son who needs glasses. I gave them his age and DOB when scheduling the appointment. The day of the appointment, they called me five minutes before saying they had to cancel (I had pulled my son out of school early that day, taken a portion of the day off, etc.) Then, when I came in with my son for the rescheduled appointment, after a one hour eye exam, they said he really should go to a pediatric opthamologist as that type of eye doctor was really better suited to fit him for glasses. He’s far sighted, it wasn’t some sort of obsure diagnosis. Going there was a total waste of two days. We came away without a perscription, and now I have to go to yet another doctor to take care what was supposed to be taken care of during my appointment at this practice in Alameda — a simple eye perscription for my son. I would have appreciated their saying ahead of time that they weren’t equipped to treat/​prescribe glasses to children before going ahead and scheduling the appointment two times for my son.

My feelings for Dr. Bui and his very pleasant and efficient office staff are full of gratitude and appreciation. My cataract operations were speedy and painless. as were my recoveries.
I have great vision without glasses now. and with monovision, I don’t need reading glasses. I recommend Dr. Bui without reservation. I feel fortunate to have found him to operate on me and provide very thorough follow-​up.

I first met Dr. Bui after suffering from an acute iritis attack while at a conference in Phoenix a few years ago. I was treated by a local opthalmologist and when I arrived home I needed to find one to continue treatment follow up. Dr. Bui was my choice based on the usual health plan considerations and I knew very little about him. He prescribed a more aggressive approach to treatment and follow up for testing to see if I had the genetic trait that is known to trigger iritis. Needless to say I have been very happy with David and the entire practice since my initial visit. Unfortunately the iritis flares up from time to time but I know the treatment plan by heart now and follow ups with Dr. Bui have become routine. He’s good people and a good Dr. The whole family sees him now.

I have known Dr. Bui for many years. One thing that sets him apart is his unfaltering integrity. Oftentimes specialists who are very experienced allow their egos to interfere with their professional judgment. But Dr. Bui really listens and has uncanny intuition. Dr. Bui uncovered an important, life-​threatening illness of a dear friend of mine which had gone undiagnosed for years. Something that was completely unrelated to her eyes. She was incredibly relieved to have the time to be treated because of his diagnosis. I would drive to Los Angeles just to see him if his office was there. I think his work as an ophthalmologist is unparalelled.

I have been a patient of Dr. Bui for more than 8 years now and I feel it is even more than that because his staff and himself treat me like family. When I first came to him, it was a «last resort» kind of thing. I was fed up with my previous manage care provider and I was literally going blind. I had chronic iritis and did not even know what I ‘m supposed to do to help myself. I live in Alameda and I desperately wanted to find a doctor closeto home. My primary doctor gave me a referral to Dr. Bui and I was impressed because even with the staff there, Dr. Bui was known in a very positive way. I decided that this was definitely a good sign. Dr. Bui is a very compassionate and competent physician, who genuinely cares about his patients. He has performed 2 surgeries on me, first was my cataract surgery and the last one was an upper lid blepharoplasty. On both instances, I heard raves from nurses as well as my anaesthesiologist –on how lucky I was to have him as my opthalmologist, it is transparent to me that his reputation precedes him. He is well liked because not only is he a good doctor he also has a big heart. He is also surrounded by efficient and friendly staff who are always helpful. All in all, everyone in Dr. Bui’s clinic makes my appointments a real relaxing and stress-​free experience and that is far from what one would expect from seeing a doctor these days.

My ophthalmologist, David P Bui, MD, has consistantly provided me with excellent care. For anyone in the San Francisco area, I highly recommend him.
I found his website useful, and think others would as well. It contains his professional CV as well. His site is: link
I’ve been seeing Dr David Bui for several years and have been extremely happy with the care I’ve received. He is without doubt at the very top of the list of doctors I have seen over the years. I find him calm, down-​to-​earth, and relaxing to talk with, and always able to convey the most exacting and complex information in a way I can understand.
I was referred to him by a friend who had him do her LASIK surgery and also a cosmetic surgery. She was very pleased with how those turned out. She had referred another friend to him for LASIK, who was seeking a second opinion on which type of surgery would be best. Dr Bui examined him and said that he did not recommend laser surgery for him, because his cornea was too thin. He said that in his opinion, there were too many chances for complications.
He had previously been approved for surgery by one of the large, heavily-​advertised, LASIK centers in this area. But our friend didn’t feel comfortable with the production-​line atmosphere. When Dr Bui said no to the surgery, our friend was proved correct. To me, this speaks volumes for Dr Bui’s integrity.
I have been seeing Dr Bui for a chronic glaucoma problem, for which I’d seen several doctors previously. One of my eyes was not responding well to treatment and I thought I might be getting closer to losing my vision.
With Dr Bui, I felt I got a chance to start over, because he was not afraid to think outside the box; I really feel he «gets it» and is always working with me. My eyes are doing better than they have been in years. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Dr Bui is a graduate of the University of California San Francisco and did his Opthalmology residency at the prestigious Jules Stein Eye Institute at the University of California Los Angeles. There is more information about him at his site:
