Can I book a schedule today?

Yes, we are happy to accommodate appointment requests while slots are available, until one (1) hour before clinic closing time. Requests made within the last hour of clinic hours may need to be scheduled for another day. Please also inform us ahead of time if you will be late or cannot attend a scheduled appointment so we can accommodate other patients.

How long do I need to wait to get a response to my booking request?

Once you submit your request, I will personally review it and confirm within 24 hours. While I often respond within 15 minutes during office hours, replies may take longer if I am attending to patients in clinic or surgery.

Do I need to pay first to get an appointment?

For online consultations, payment is required before you request for an appointment. For in-clinic consultations, booking an appointment is free. You will only pay after your consultation at the clinic (except for CHDG). The consultation fee includes only the following: examining the patient regarding the complaint, giving the diagnosis, and giving the appropriate management/prescription. Additional fees may apply if further tests or procedures are needed during your consultation.

What payment methods do you accept for face-to-face consultations?

We accept Cash, GCash, and online bank transfers.

Which HMO's/Healthcards do you accept?

Yes, I accept the following: Maxicare. Kindly check the details of your HMO and please bring the LOA (Letter of Authorization) on the day of consult.

Do you issue Medical Certificates?

Yes. Take note that a medical certificate is a legal document affixed with my signature so there will be an additional charge. Medical certificates are not part of insurance coverage and shall only be given for specific valid reasons and after the consultation.

How should I prepare for the appointment?

Please provide the following: current glasses (refraction), previous eye records, prescriptions, or test results, if available. For face-to-face consults, you may bring a companion with you, especially if your appointment involves pupil dilation (for comprehensive eye exams especially for blurring of vision, new floaters, diabetes), since your vision will be blurry and sensitive to light for several hours.

How long will the appointment take?

The visit usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes, though it may take longer (up to an hour) depending on whether other procedures will be needed and additional time required for discussion.
