Omni Eye Care

I am so grateful for the help I received from Dr. Shelly Bagai Lapsi, MD. I was having trouble seeing, especially at night. Turns out I had cataracts in both eyes. There were several problems in removing them, but Dr. Lapsi took on every challenge effectively and professionally. I needed 2 outpatient cataract surgeries and 2 laser treatments. The doctor is very well practised at both. Her staff is very friendly and efficient, and it all went smoothly. Dr. Lapsi is wonderful at explaining everything clearly. She is also compassionate and knowledgeable. It is also very good news that she accepts MediCal coverage. Now I can see better than I ever hoped to again. The world is so much brighter, more manageable, and colorful too. Thanks again, Dr. Lapsi!

I will give you my honest assessment of my experience at this particular eyecare center!
Ive been in need of an Opthalmologist for a while as, I have had eye issues for a bit. I found this place through a friend who recommended it to me and the doctor to see. Dr Shelli Bagai Lapsi MD. I saw her yesterday and she was really nice and caring.
I was pretty nervous about what was about to happend and the care that was gonna take place.
From the outside the building doesn’t look like much however, the inside is pretty cool and modern. Very clean and professional. I like that in the waiting room they have complementary coffee, tea, and water bottles in a small glass refrigerator.
The employees were very nice to me but then again I’m cute so, I don’t blame the ladies! Everything went pretty quickly from the paper work, check it, dilation of my eyes, to the consultation of the doctor.
Everything went well. And Dr Lapsi was a total professional and explained my issues with care and concern. Which put me at ease. So, I have to come back several times! I’m glad it’s here because, this is a first class professional eyecare center an I highly recommend it!

Receptionists are extremely rude and unprofessional. Don’t expect for them to be understanding of any concerns or to be treated professionally. Gossip will be treated as a priority, over patients. Never in a medical office have I seen receptionists laughing at giggling at each other with patients in front of them, and then snapping at them when they ask a question.

Three days ago I came down with pain and sensation of sand in my left eye. I couldn’t stop tearing. I was seen by Kaiser Urgent care doctor and told everything looked fine, went home with antibiotic eye drop. In 8 hrs. I woke up in terrible eye pain and blurred vision, constant tearing, I rushed to hospital. I was seen again by Kaiser ER doctor, this time with corneal abrasion. Went home with another antibiotic ointment.
Through the day my pain became more and more debilitating. I had experience eye injury in the past and didn’t want to risk losing my eye sight. As a registered nurse, I felt those 3 minute diagnosis by urgent care and ER just didn’t cut it, a second opinion will be necessary. I Unilocaled and found Omni eye care, called and was seen immediately by Dr. So. She was caring and very patient with my questions. Most importantly she diagnosed me correctly and began my treatment right away. She kindly provided samples of the medication for temporary use because they are prohibitively expensive. The first consultation was not cheap but for my eye sight and my sanity, it’s well worth it.
The HMO is a bad system. Too many requirements for referral. In my case, I simply couldn’t wait to be seen by my primary and then refer to ophthalmology. It helps to be young to endure mistakes and delay in proper treatment. For elderly and special diseases, either you’ll shell out cold hard cash to see a good private provider or take the misery while risking the complication waiting on HMO doctors.
In less than 12 hrs. My pain is 100% gone, stopped tearing and redness improving. Still working on blur vision. So thankful to have good provider like Dr. So. This is definitely a good clinic for keep.

I had to get cataract surgery in a rush because of insurance reasons. Although it was during the holidays when its almost impossible to get any kind of surgery in a hurry, Dr. Lapsi did all the required test and preparations and approved me for surgery in a timely manner. I was able to get everything done in a very short period of time including getting my insurance’s approval for the surgery. Dr. Lapsi did a wonderful job. I went from being virtually blind in one eye to seeing ²⁰⁄₂₀. The staff greets you by name and always calls to confirm your appointment. Very professional establishment. Highly recommend it. Thank you.

Rude doctor.

If you are looking for a kind, caring, and talented opthalmologist, then I highly recommend Dr. Shelly Bagai Lapsi, MD. My grandfather, Albert, considers her the angel who saved his vision. We were blessed to find her.
My grandfather had really bad cataracts in both eyes and was facing the possible loss of his entire vision. He had originally had corrective surgery on one of this eyes at the Veterans Hospital in Long Beach, CA. Although the job they did was satisfactory (though nothing to rave about), they refused to operate on the other (worse) eye. They said there was nothing they could do.
Enter Dr. Lapsi who did what others said they would not and could not do. She delicately removed the stubborn cataracts from my grandfather’s eye and within a few weeks he was praising god for being able to actually see things he hadn’t been able to see for years. It was so amazing to see his expressions of amazement as he began to look at the world anew.
Myself and my mother have been to the office with my grandfather for his appointments. We’ve never waited too long when going to an appointment. And, really, a little wait time is worth it for such a great doctor. The nurses are always polite and nice. There are refreshments such as bottled water, Keurig coffees, and juice in the lobby. The office is neat, clean, and welcoming. And, Dr. Lapsi is just amazing as a doctor and a person. She really empathizes with her patients and their families and does her best to explain everything in a friendly way. She even gave us free sample drops!
Thank you to Dr. Lapsi and the staff of Omni Eye Care for a great experience!

dr lapsi explained everything to me in very clear language and did not try to bowl me over with medical terms.
