Todd D Severin, MD

My first appointment went very well. I received paperwork ahead of time and filling that out expedited the process. The staff did a quick assessment and Dr. Edell was pleasant and efficient. She used techniques for examining the eye that were less painful than I’ve experienced with other ophthalmologists. Overall, a very good experience.

Dr. Severin’s staff were professional and thorough. Medical history and current medications are vital prior to actual examination. Dr Severin has a great bedside manner. Years of experience helps tremendously in assisting patients with glasses. With diabetes I wanted the best doctor’s advice and Dr. Severin came through perfect! I highly recommend his office for consultations. I am coming back for figment of 2 eyeglasses one for distance and one for computer/​reading.

Excellent service and top quality equipment.
Dr. Severin is one of the top glaucoma specialists in the Bay Area. We come from Redwood City for him to oversee my daughter’s care.

My husband suffers from a spinal cord injury that he sustained three years ago. We have been to nearly twenty different doctors to treat various medical issues. My husband is legally blind in his left eye (forceps used at birth) and his right eye (his“good eye”) was starting to fail from a cataract.
We were referred to Dr. Severin by a local optometrist, who told us that Dr. Severin is the best in the area. We were bummed that we had to wait 3 months to get in, but in the end it was worth the wait.
My husband finally had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Severin a few days ago. His whole world has just opened up! The surgery was an absolute success, and my husband’s vision is at ²⁰⁄₃₀ day-​after-​surgery with the prospects of being ²⁰⁄₂₀ as time goes on and his eye heals.
Given my husband’s medical condition, Dr. Severin gave us extra tender, loving care. He made him feel safe and secure. Hands down one of the best docs we have interfaced with.
Additionally, the staff was very welcoming, accommodating and VERY professional.
Thank you Dr. Severin and staff for everything you have done for us!

This was my first visit with Dr. Severin. I was nervous about the glaucoma eval. He took time to answer my questions and explain my eye situation. He and his staff are welcoming and professional. The office waiting area is beautiful and comfortable. I have looked at some of the reviews that give low scores for long wait time and that is sad. I work in health care. Specialists that are thorough and really take the time with you when it is your turn in the exam room and genuinely care about you are worth the wait. Dr Severin and his staff are A+.

Dr Severin has a beautiful office which is good because you will spend a lot of time in it. Having been treated by the doctor for more than 6 years, I have become accustomed to an hour plus wait for an examination. But about half the time it takes more two hours. Today, it was slightly more than 2 ½ hours! While Dr. Severin might be a competent doctor, his office is anything but.

I emerged from my first visit to Dr. Sanford Severin saying out loud to the office staff «Wow! What a nice doctor!» Trust me, that is a first for me.
Dr. Severin spent much more time than I have experienced with other doctors explaining my situation clearly. Did not seem to be in a hurry.
The office staff was uniformly friendly, polite and actually cheerful. The office is spacious, clean and bright.
All in all, this is a model of how a visit to a physician can be.
Thank you!

When it comes to ophthalmology, glaucoma specialists, and optical surgery, Dr. Severin and his practice are impeccable. I’ve been a patient of his for over 15 years, and grew up under his care for my eyes. No matter where I’ve moved, I always make sure to come and see one of the best eye doctor’s I’ve ever had. His staff is nice and polite, his technicians and doctors are knowledgeable and friendly, and every appointment is nothing short of awesome. He’s really one of a kind, and an absolute blessing!

If you need a Glaucoma specalist, he’s the man. Totally professinal, always POSITIVE, extrememly polite and really cares about YOU! When was the last time you had a Doctor that fits this description?
I’ve been seeing Dr. Severin for years, and he’s is the very BEST. I love him, his work, his demeanor & his honesty.
His staff is the very best. They are friendly, caring, and absolutely the most professional group of talented people I know.

I was treated by Dr. Severin in Berkeley for Lasik and was he was absolutely perfect! Gentle, soft spoken, very calming and just AWESOME! I had to visit Dr. Severin on his day off because of trauma I caused during my recovery. I fell in love with his staff and with his professionalism. Therefore, all I need to say is I love Dr. Severin and I plan on going driving all the way to San Ramon to have him be my regular eye doctor even if I have to pay Cash! I do not care he is great!
