Reviews
As a recent cataract patient | look forward to wholeheartedly endorsing the Aloha Eye Clinic for their professionalism and care | recently received, late January and February 2025 at the clinic.
My journey started 2 years earlier when my vision continued to deteriorate and my new prescription, even done thoroughly, did not correct my vision enough to make driving at night a comfortable experience. | would tell my wife to remain vigilant about watching people cross the street. The headlights of incoming vehicles was a terrible distraction. | didn’t know the problem was from cataracts and thought | had early signs of something worse. My optometrist correctly diagnosed that | had cataracts in both eyes. She recommended the Aloha Eye Clinic. One of my close friends had the procedure cone there and was very happy with the results.
| made an appointment there and started the process. | used to be a flight instructor and | wanted an experienced doctor to guide me through. | am 79 years old and | have an older brother whose operation went very poorly in the mainland. My brother was emphatic about having someone with strong, successful experience. And | was lucky enough to find Doctor T right here in Maui. | told Doctor T about my brother and Dr T told me he had done over 15000 surgeries with no major problems. A couple patients had a minor correction done that was successful. Experience counts and Dr Tantisera (Doctor T) has it.
| feel that most eye surgeons would be able to successfully perform the majority of procedures. But when a problem occurs | want a surgeon that has the background to complete the process to a positive outcome. Doctor T is that kind of person.
| had LASIK surgery in one eye over 20 years ago and it was successful, but that surgery flattened the pupil in that eye and made my procedure a bit more difficult. Dr T said that 20-20 vision in that eye might not be possible. But, with his skill, 20-20 was achieved. The other eye was easier and came out better than 20-20. Driving at night is now very easy and | can see so well at night.
Dr Anzai and Dr T spent the time thoroughly explaining my options. This is another example of having experience. | couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Thanks doctors and staff at Aloha Eye Clinic.

Dr. Anzai is awesome! When I went for my appointment for rx for glasses last year I was having a glaucoma crisis with extremely high eye pressures. He did not turn a blind eye to me. He consulted with their glaucoma specialist to ensure I was properly treated promptly. Fast forward to present & my eye pressures are normal & Dr. Anzai did a very thorough exam educating me while selecting the most helpful rx. Lika was very pleasant & comforting as she instilled eye drops & checked my ocular pressures. The optical department was patient & helpful as I chose the best glasses! Excellent care from start to finish!

Dr. David ANZAi is awesome and a perfect eye doctor! He has a great sense of humor, takes the time to explain & show what’s happening, shows compassion and relates very well to his patients. Besides that, Dr. ANZAi is always smiling and laughing. Visits with him are always pleasant. Thank you Dr. ANZAi for being the BEST!

Everyone was beyond kind and professional, but Dr Tantisira succeeded all expectations. Very thorough in helping me, as a patient, understand every aspect of my cataract surgery. He is very gifted and skilled in all things pertaining to eye surgery. I would recommend him to anyone on Maui. Mahalo Dr Tantisira and staff!

My entire family & I have been seeing Dr. Anzai for years, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! He is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, always taking the time to listen to our concerns and thoroughly addresses them. His attention to detail and genuine care for his patients set him apart. Every visit is a positive experience, and we always leave feeling confident that we’ve received the best possible care. Dr. Anzai’s expertise and warm demeanor make him an exceptional optometrist. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your eye health, look no further!

What a great experience. After years of glasses and contact lenses, I had cataract surgery at Aloha Eye. They put in multifocal lenses just like my contacts . This was an additional charge but worth every penny of it. The surgery was not painful. I had no anesthesia just eye drops. They are very methodical and very good with all of their visits and educating the patient about the entire process. The follow-up is fantastic. I have now had my lenses for around a year and I'm still seeing 20-25 vision. No glasses no contacts I am a happy 76 year old. And full of praise for Dr T and the whole staff!

I’ve been going to Aloha Eye Clinic for many years. My experiences with Dr. Tantisira have always been excellent. Although he’s a busy doctor, Dr. Tantisira remains pleasant, willing to answer all of my questions, and explains thoroughly. The technicians and opticians are friendly and helpful as well. I’m happy that Aloha Eye Clinic has an optical center, where I’ve been getting my prescription glasses made. They also have a surgery center for when I need cataract surgery in the future. I really like that I can take care of my eye health all in one place.
