Delivering truly exceptional
Medical eye care

Sequoia Eye Group is a team of highly-trained eye doctors in Redwood City who have been delivering eye care in the Bay Area Peninsula for over 70 years, through four generations of ophthalmologists.

As eye physicians and surgeons, our focus is simple: to deliver personalized eye care of the highest quality imaginable.

vision.
perspective.
view.
outlook.
sight.

As eye doctors, we believe that the eyes and vision are among the most important things in life, not only because they allow us to function every day, but also because they allow us to bond with each other and to experience the vast beauty this world has to offer.

 

There’s nothing we’d rather do than to practice medicine as eye physicians and surgeons.  As ophthalmologists, we consider it our privilege to protect and heal eyes, and we will do everything in our power to keep our patients experiencing life to the fullest.

"He is at the very top of the list.

Wouldn't go anywhere else."

"Dr. Ngai and his entire staff are the very best. They are kind, efficient, caring, punctual and make every step of the way to cataract surgery easy. A real person answers the phone, not a voice tree.

As for Dr. Ngai, there are not enough stars to convey how highly I regard him as a doctor and as a caring compassionate clinician. He really listens, he measures not once, but three times, to get your vision to fit your needs.

To have clear vision back in all fields of vision is life enhancing and life changing. I no longer am reluctant to drive at night, I am not seeing those huge halos and squiggles, and can once again read street signs before I need to turn.

As a doctor and anesthesiologist I have had ample exposure to all sorts of docs. We used to have the term for the best surgeons as "doctor's doctors". He is at the very top of the list. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

COVID-19: Adapting
(and overcoming)

The world doesn't stop, even during a global pandemic.

As we all rise to the challenge of adapting to a new normal, eye injuries still occur, cataracts still worsen, and the daily battle to prevent the progression of glaucoma and macular degeneration still continues.

Preventing eye disease and enhancing vision are more important now than ever.

At Sequoia Eye Group we are rising to overcome the new challenges we all face.

We are still open. Our hours are still the same, but our approach to delivering care has changed.


COVID-19: 100% Vaccinated

First, do no harm.

At Sequoia Eye Group, safety is of the utmost importance. We are proud to announce that 100% of our clinical staff (eye specialists and technicians) have been vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus.

We will continue to maintain our high standard of preventative measures.

We hope that this news represents increased protection for patients and staff. Importantly, we also hope that this vaccine represents a step toward a safer world and the beginning of the return to normalcy.

"Dr. Philip Ngai is the consummate professional."

"I had cataract surgery on both eyes and am extremely satisfied with the results. My vision with glasses was 20/40 since the surgery my vision has improved to 20/20!!

The procedure was quick and flawless. The staff was very helpful and positive and made every effort to ensure that I was comfortable and relaxed.

Dr. Philip Ngai is the consummate professional. He kept me informed on all aspects of the procedure and made sure all went well.

I highly recommend Dr. Ngai and his staff to meet and exceed anyone’s expectations when it comes to eye care."

with us:

The delivery of healthcare is evolving, but not always in the right direction.  Patients have been forced to deal with longer wait times, experience shorter face time with doctors, fill out more paperwork, and ultimately accept more impersonal care.

As eye doctors in Redwood City and the Bay Area Peninsula with over 70 years of experience treating cataracts, glaucoma, retina, cornea, and dry eye, we think we have figured out the right formula: maintain a small and light footprint and focus only on what’s most important, all so that we can deliver the personalized care that we would want for ourselves, while also utilizing the best technologies that modern medicine has to offer.
