ScottHyver Visioncare

You heard it all, Dr. Hyver is all over the BayArea radio. What got me into doing Lasik was hey, why not. I believe this would be a good investment in the long run and have had heard good stories about people’s results after getting Lasik. Schedule an appointment for consultation, I passed! I was able to get Lasik, second time I come in, we talk about the finances and how you can pay. Insurance and flexible spending would apply to the Lasik surgery – which is a plus. Save a ton of money there.
The staff were super nice and attentive, they are a few steps away so don’t feel hesitant in asking questions.
After finances, schedule my third visit with them and it was time to do the surgery, the surgery went super quick and smooth, literally 2 mins on each eye. After surgery, they have you sit for about 30 minutes and then let you go. I slept the whole rest of the day and next day was the follow-​up appointment for me. They said everything is fine and your vision would get better throughout the next few months.
About 1 month, I went in for a check up, I can now see ²⁰⁄₁₅. This is the best feeling ever. I have been wearing glasses ever since high school and never thought I could let go of them, but now I can.
Go see Dr. Hyver, go get Lasik, you won’t regret! :)

Dr. Hyver is a very skilled and thoughtful surgeon. His staff is friendly, considerate and helpful. And the optometrists are thorough with the testing on your eyes. Dr. Hyver takes the time to ensure that the information on your eyes are up to date and that surgery is possible.
The team answered all of my concerns and after surgery, I see better than when wearing glasses or contacts from before. It is worth looking into and starting the consultation process if you’re looking to have better sight… ²⁰⁄₂₀. Make sure to follow the instructions of the skilled staff and use the drops as instructed.
Thank you Dr. Hyver and team!

Had my PRK 1 month ago and just got tested at ²⁰⁄₂₀. Boo yah! This after nearly 20 years of glasses and bad astigmatism. The staff and Dr. Hyver were great throughout the entire process. No pressure and great info and service. I’m very happy /​relieved.

After procrastinating for years, I finally decided to get in for a consultation to get Lasik before my wedding. I was a little scared of the procedure which is why I waited so long, but staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The procedure was MUCH easier than I thought and aside from the pressure they put on your cornea to flatten it for a few seconds, the surgery was quick and painless. Every step during the procedure, Scott Hyver said what he was going to do and told me what to expect.
My only regret was not doing this sooner! My prescription was –3.75 (left eye) and –3.50 (right eye) and now I can see ²⁰⁄₁₅! It’s an amazing feeling being able to see right when I wake up!

Good experience all around. a couple of preparation meetings that went smoothly, followed by a nice and short 20 mns of surgery. happy to have done it here.
It’s now been 4 years since I did LASIK and I’m still enjoying good vision from afar.

Dr. Scott Hyver and his entire staff, did a fantastic job for my PKK surgery. I have never had a better doctor and medical staff that was as helpful as they were. Professional and informative. Pretty much everything he predicted happened in terms of treatment and rehab.
I purposely waited about a year or so to actually make a review because I wanted to make sure the outcome was good. I have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision and completely think the surgery was worth it. He is very careful to make sure you actually qualify for the surgery and like me you may have greater light sensitivity after the surgery.

Dr. Hyver did my LASIK procedure back in 2003… I went for a routine eye exam today and my vision is still better than ²⁰⁄₂₀! The optometrist was remarking what an incredible job he had done, that she could not see any evidence of the cuts that had been made. The experience at the time I had the surgery was really great and I’m thrilled to have had such great results even 12 years later!

The procedure was over before I knew it and, except for a momentary pinching of my cheek in the equipment, was relatively pain free. My vision was roughly ²⁰⁄₂₀ the next day. I experienced some «rainbow glare» for the first few weeks (an «X» pattern when looking directly at point sources of light). This eventually went away and my vision stabilized at ²⁰⁄₁₅. My stigmatism was also corrected. I no longer have to live with dry, burning eyes from wearing contacts all day. This is much more comfortable!

I’ve been interested in having the laser procedure done for a few years now especially after my eye doctor told me that I qualified for it but I didn’t really take that seriously until this year. It was the best decision I made for myself. It probably cost a little more but if I think about what I pay for my eyeglasses and contacts every year, the expenses are really worth it.
Upon deciding to get the Lasik, I did my research on where to go. I checked the reviews and Dr. Scott Hyver has the most positive reviews so I put him on the top of my list to contact. I did two inquiries and what makes me choose Dr. Hyver was because they have responded to me the same day I inquire about the procedure. The other one took one week.
On my consultation day, I was impressed how the office looks and how the staff treats their patients.
To make the story short, my Lasik procedure was scheduled according to what works best for me. Everything was explained to me including what to expect before, during and after the procedure and also the extended program which is the best. The procedure itself only last for about 15 minutes for both eyes, I think the preparation is longer than the procedure itself. During the procedure, Dr. Hyver is talking the whole time, telling me what is he doing and what to expect.
Healing was great too, I didn’t have halo at night but I noticed that my eyes became more sensitive to light. Other than that and the dryness which is expected, I have no problems. Three months after my Lasik procedure, my eye doctor told me I am good to go and will just need to go back in a year for my regular check-​up.
I can honestly say that it was a great experience and definitely worth every penny. I’m extremely happy I made this decision. Thank you Dr. Scott Hyver and staff :).

The staff at the San Ramon office where had my appointments and surgery were all wonderful. Dr Quan so nice. Having LASIK surgery was the best thing I could have ever done. I had a stigmatism and couldn’t she things far away. My vision was great when I woke up from a 4 hour nap post op. I’m not having any problem I can see so everything crystal clear. Thank you dr. Hyver.

When I went in for a check-​up for my contacts 10 months ago, I asked my optometrist about LASIK. I’d had friends get it and was curious about it, but was skeptical and a little wary of having surgery on my eyes. ScottHyver was one of two doctors he recommended, so I went in for a free screening.
ScottHyver won me over with their high level of professionalism, knowledgeable staff, and thorough explanation of my situation and options. They put me much more at ease than the other doctor I visited. So, I set my date and got ready for LASIK.
The surgery itself went off without a hitch: quick, painless (though obviously an odd experience), and before I knew it I was in the car heading home. Stayed home from work the next day because my vision was still a little foggy, and I had some minor haloing that cleared up as I healed.
I’m now 4 months post-​surgery and I’m thrilled with the results. My vision is clearer than it ever was with glasses or contacts. There’s no haloing or issues at night (those cleared up after a few weeks), and my eyes feel great. Sure beats the constant irritation of contacts – dry eyes, irritation, having to take them out, remembering to pack fluid when I went on trips, and on and on. It may sound minor, but it’s one fewer thing to worry about, and that makes my life just that much simpler. My eyesight is better than ²⁰⁄₂₀: everything is sharper and clearer than I can ever remember it being. I’m so glad I did this, and highly recommend ScottHyver for their professionalism, thoroughness, and the results they’ve given me.

After a friend had the procedure and raved about I decided to look into it a bit further. I scheduled my evaluation with Dr Hyver’s office and was quickly seen. I have an astigmatism in both eyes so was curious to see what could be done. I didn’t qualify for lasik but I could get PRK which is just a longer recovery time. I was a bit concerned about that since I commute on a motorcycle daily and didn’t want to miss much work.
I was thrilled to learn I could split my pre-​op and my surgery between December and January. This allowed me to take advantage of the funds left in my flexible spending account for 2014 and arrange to have the remainder allocated from my 2015 FSA. It really was a nice treat for myself and I couldn’t be happier.
The first few days after surgery there was some pain and discomfort but it was manageable. My left eye felt like someone just had their finger pressed against my eye. The second day I was extremely light sensitive. Even the TV was too bright with sunglasses on.
I gradually got better and found I could ride my motorcycle after a few days. Things were pretty blurry but I did a lot of research beforehand and knew that was too be expected. It was weird at first when things were blurry and your glasses do nothing to fix it. I was pretty light sensitive for about two weeks. I never felt that I was in a great deal of pain. It was all manageable. I followed the instructions with everything they gave me. Drops every 4 hours. Vitamin C every day.
It was able to increase my font size and adjust my screen resolution allowing me to do my job. It was exciting to see improvements in my vision every so often. Eventually I felt I was seeing really good and no longer found myself squinting. I occasionally found that certain things took a bit longer to focus on, like prices in a grocery store. But even that got better.
I’m thrilled to say after my latest appointment I’m seeing ²⁰⁄₁₅ in my left eye and ²⁰⁄₂₀ in my right. This has truly exceeded my expectations. I still wake up at times and want to reach for my glasses but after a second I realize I no longer need them.
Big thanks to Dr Hyver and every member of the staff for always being warm and supportive. I love my new vision!

Very impressed by the whole team. Very professional. Available by phone and email to answer any questions or concerns. From the front desk staff to the technical assistants and the surgery assistants — everyone was friendly, courteous and professional. A very pleasant experience.
Once you have decided that you are interested in considering lasik surgery go to Dr Hyver and his team. They are thorough in the evaluation. I had my surgery done last week — recovery time was very quick (still recovering). Pain was minimal. As others say — but worth repeating — this is pricey but it is your vision and you do not want to take short cuts with it. Dr. Hyver invests in the best technology for a thorough personal evaluation and attracts good staff to ensure good personal service.

I came here for LASIK from my friend’s recommendation. Everyone here is super nice… the doctors, receptionists, counselor… EVERYONE!
First step: I had my consultation to see if I qualified, which I did. Each step of the way, the doctors tell you what the machines do and what they are checking for. We got to speak with Dr. Scott Hyver and ask any questions after the consultation. Then we get a patient counselor who helps us with the finance and any further questions.
Second step: This preparation stage for me went on for 2 weeks. I had to take omega-​3 pills once a day, and put on eye drops every few hours because I had dry eyes.
Third step: Operation time! Went into the surgery room, and laid down on the bench with the LASIK machine above my head. Dr. Scott Hyver let me know what was happening each move he made and what I should be seeing. He said things like, «There will be pressure now and your vision will slowly turn black», «I’m lifting the flap and you should see a blurry green light», «I’m going to put the flap back down and smooth it out with a sponge».
Fourth step: After surgery, I had to take inflammatory and anti-​biotic eye drops every few hours as instructed by the doctors. This went on for another 2 weeks. I had to wear eye-​goggles to sleep so that I don’t accidentally hit or rub the eyeballs while they are healing.
Fifth step: The post-​operation check up happened about 1 month after the surgery. One of the doctors did some eye exams to see if everything was normal. With my LASIK corrected vision, I can now see things at ²⁰⁄₁₅ (better than ²⁰⁄₂₀)!
TL;DR: I highly recommend going to ScottHyver for their excellent work and awesome friendly staff.

I had my Lasik procedure performed by Scott in November 2014. I was very impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism by everyone in his office. They really treated me well and I am very happy with the results of my new vision!
I can’t speak highly enough about Scott and his team would definitely recommend them to perform you procedure.

Great staff! Love Dr H. He was soo sweet!!! Was pricey but worth it after all it was my eyes lol!!! Procedure was quick easy effortless coming from someone with no tolerance so pain/​discomfort.

Please be aware that this review is for the initial consult only as I have not yet had the LASIK procedure done yet.
Well it’s that time of the year again when my health insurance goes into open enrollment. Since this is the time frame where I get to decide how much money goes into my FSA, I figured that now would be a good time to evaluate LASIK surgery.
After checking some insurance resources, I came across Dr. Scott Hyver and found he had excellent Unilocal reviews. When I called to make an appointment, the receptionist asked me for insurance information and I explained that I was in open enrollment and considering changing my eye care insurance company from VSP to another one. The receptionist did some quick checking and told me that VSP covered more of the surgery than the other company I was considering, so that was one less decision I had to make :)
The office is clean and you can tell the staff there is well trained and professional. They ran a large number of tests and I was informed that I was a good candidate for LASIK surgery (this was a bit of a surprise. Last time I checked with another Doctor a number of years ago, I’d have to have a different type of surgery … guess technology has improved!).
I then spoke with Dr. Hyver about my results and he answered any questions I had with regards to the procedure and post-​operative care. He’s friendly and makes sure that all bases were covered.
I then spoke with a Patient Consultant who was very friendly and told me about various options for financing as well as any final questions I had. I now have surgery scheduled for January 2015 so am looking for of that.
Once I have the surgery done and have waited until my eyes settled, I’ll update this review with further information. :)

So I’ve been interested in having the laser procedure done for five years now and my only hesitation has been the lack of confidence in the doctors I’ve met and waiting for the technology to get better. Fortunately for me My optometrist knows Dr. Scott Hyver and recommended that I have a consultation with him. I can honestly say that im happy I did. he is by far the best Lasik surgeon that I have ever encountered. For the first time I’m actually excited and can’t wait to have my procedure finally done.
First of all their actual office is impeccable and extremely clean. I am actually very impressed with the way they treat their consultations/​patients. I found it refreshing to see how such a young staff carries themselves. One of his assistants named Mika, was the young lady who took care of me and my needs. She very soft-​spoken and very attentive to my needs. After she took all of my information and made me go through a battery of testing I was then introduced to Dr. Scott Hyver. Who for very young man, had great recommendations about his work as well as tons of respect in the field. he actually is their primary physician who does all the work for the San Francisco 49ers football team. I found that Information extremely impressive because I am a football fanatic.
He was very thorough and extremely open to answering any and all questions that I had about the procedure. He even recommended that I continue to do my research and evaluate other doctors in case I wanted to hear a second or third opinion on the information that was given to me. He also was not shy about stating how he wants what’s best for me and all of his patients. He’s very authentic and looks at his practice as a way of building relationships instead of just simply getting paid.
After I was done with the doctor I was introduced to a consultant who went in depth about what the next step in the process was. These steps including setting dates, costs as well as information on recovery time. She personalized it and talked about her experience having the PRK procedure done by the doctor and even what to do if things don’t go well after the whole process was done.
I can honestly say that it was a great well-​rounded experience and definitely worth the five out of five stars I am giving their review. I’m extremely anxious to get the procedure done knowing that it’s being done by somebody who is an extreme professional and perfectionist when it comes to his work. Even the staff at the office is going to make the recovery time hopefully easy and smooth enough to deal with.

It’s been almost 4 months since I had my PRK surgery with Dr Hyver and I am SO happy to say that I have better than ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision!
I was recommended to Dr. Hyver through my optometrist (who also recommended another doctor so I could compare the two myself). I chose to go with Dr. Hyver after actually meeting him in person during my consultation. It was so nice to actually meet the guy who I would be putting my full trust in. He answered all my questions, thoroughly told my why PRK was the best option (but still told me that I could choose not to do PRK, if I decided not to), and generally made me feel at ease. Afterwards, I met with a consultant about setting dates, what to expect and everything I needed to do to ensure a smooth surgery & recovery.
Thank goodness for Ativan because I took full advantage of it on surgery day. The staff was SO nice and made me feel very comfortable on the day of. Honestly, I checked in with the receptionist and was back in the car heading home within 30 minutes. Easy peasy.
My only regret is not doing this sooner (I know, I know, everyone who loves their lasik results says this, but it’s the truth). I loved Dr. Hyver and LOVE my results even more!!!

So, I finally did it. After wearing glasses since I was 8, I did what I should have done a long time ago. And it could NOT have gone better.
I researched doctors for years. And I talked to alot of Lasik patients. Based on their feedback, I was prepared to go through a few months of «healing». Maybe some dry eye, some sensitivity to light, some halos… but with Dr. Hyver — I’ve had NO side effects, no discomfort, nothing. I’m amazed.
Here’s what YOU can expect.
— This office will check you thoroughly to make sure you’re a candidate. Not everyone is. Some doctors will do the surgery anyway, but the good doctors will be honest with you.
— Even though they see alot of patients here, I genuinely felt that they cared about me and were excited for my surgery. They took their time, They made me feel comfortable. They answered my questions without ever making me feel rushed.
— On the day of the surgery, they checked my eyes one last time. The surgery itself took 10 minutes, maybe less. There was no pain whatsoever.
When I walked out of the surgery room, I could see perfectly, but my eyes were a bit teary. But that’s it. They gave me a bag with my eye drop medications, a pair of sunglasses, and some night goggles to protect my eyes when I sleep (these are temporary).
After surgery, I took a 4-​hour nap. And when I woke up my eyes felt great, other than a bit of redness. The next day at my follow-​up exam, I was already seeing at ²⁰⁄₂₀. I’m just amazed. It’s like a miracle. I go back in a month to recheck my vision and I’m hoping that I’ll be seeing better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ by then.
If you’ve been thinking about getting Lasik but are scared to do it, don’t be. I scared myself out of doing it for years, and now I wish I had done it sooner.
And if you’re worried about the cost, consider it an investment that will last you a lifetime. Sounds cheesy, but it’s true. Plus you can do what I did — I set aside money in my company’s Flexible Spending Account so I’m getting reimbursed for most of the cost, and I saved payroll taxes on the amount of money I set aside.
I am so happy with the results. Choosing the right doctor is key. Choosing this office to get LASIK was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
