Dr. Dudeja credits his family with instilling a passion for medicine in him at an early age while growing up in India.  Dr. Dudeja describes ophthalmology as “one of the most rewarding specialties,” adding “being able to restore vision, the gratitude of patients and satisfaction it provides cannot be expressed in words.”  Ophthalmology, he says, requires “tech savvy,” which “allows for a good mix of medical and surgical services.

Dr. Dudeja belongs to Surgical Eye Expedition International, a nonprofit organization that provides volunteer ophthalmologic services to disadvantaged individuals worldwide. Married with children, he loves outdoor photography.

He could be more forthright in his answer because I know some of the things he was saying were false. Thank you.

Impressed by doctors experience. I mentioned to some friends later that evening that I had seen the doctor and they have also been impressed by his care for their vision needs.

Dr. Dudeja is both an accomplished surgeon but also possesses the ability to explain in a way is understandable to all. Simple language and pertinent examples are so helpful!

Transferred to this facility because PIH no longer carries my previous ophthalmologist The difference in the two offices is evident immediately This office is run very much like an assembly line While all staff was courteous I did not feel as comfortable in the care I will be receiving as compared to the previous ophthalmologist I was given two tests while sitting in the hallway with people walking by and talking which was very strange It felt like a 3rd world clinic Dr Dudeja was nice but at the lose of our consultation he mentioned that he might've retired the next time I go to the office So I'll have to start over

The attending nurse was kind and very respectful the front office staff is not patient friendly they are rude and when the nurse was talking to another worker she does not want to be interrupted even if you are just standing there. but once you go in very nice. the doctor is great.

It was frustrating trying to make the appointment. I had called, left my name and number for someone to call me back. I waited approximately six days, business. No one called back. When I called a second time, they wanted to go through the same process. Leave your name, leave your number, and within a week, someone will call you back. And at that point, I had to say, I've already respectfully done that. Please, there has to be somebody there that can make the appointment. And eventually I got a hold of somebody who just made the appointment. So just frustrating. Thank you.
May 12, 2026
I appreciated that everything being done was explained to me. This is the first time going to see an eye doctor where I felt seen and they didn't make me feel dumb for asking questions. The staff were very friendly. Loved the doctor!!

There was some confusion when I went, expecting to be seen for close-up vision. But it turned out they only do close-up vision. And that's a question I still have. Thank you.

Yes, Dr. Deep was extremely, he's an extra, he's an outstanding doctor. I'm very satisfied with him. It took me four doctors to diagnose what I do have and he is following through with another doctor. It seems like he was not aware that my cornea was ripped. Thank you very much. You do have a good day.

I very much appreciate Dr. Deep Dudeja as my ophtalmologist. He did my cataract surgery, both eyes, approximately seven years ago. I had excellent results and follow-up care over the years. I needed to return for posterior (laser) capsulotomy, both eyes, yesterday. Again, with excellent results. I highly recommend him!
