Outside of the clinic, Dr. Onishi’s hobbies include weightlifting, soccer, pickleball, and hiking. He also enjoys caring for his houseplants.
“I made an online appointment, and I received both a text AND email confirmation yesterday clearly verifying my appointment date and time. When I arrived to the office, the front desk girl very rudely told me I did not have an appointment. I showed her my confirmations, which she did not acknowledge. She explicitly told me the only way to make an appointment is to call. I told her when I called to make an appointment, no one picked up and the voicemail clearly states that you can book an appointment online at any time. Yet, she rudely dismissed me and said next time I must call to make an appointment. I said you should really change your voicemail message if you are not offering online bookings, to which she rolled her eyes and scoffed. I am a medical assistant and work in a doctors office and would never imagine 1) blaming the patient for clearly a mistake that was on the office and 2) doing it in such a rude manner. She did not once offer any apology or explanation. It was honestly unbelievable. Thankfully I was able to be seen, and Dr. Onishi is great, but the staff seriously needs to go through some kind of sensitivity training because that was absurd. And if you are not accepting online bookings, you should not be sending text AND email confirmations. Really disappointing.”
Dr. Nadji is a fellowship-trained, board-certified ophthalmologist. He takes pride in giving each patient individual attention and always allows them the chance to ask any and all of their questions. He specializes in sutureless cataract surgery and is one of the few surgeons in Santa Monica performing the newest laser cataract surgery.

I welcome you to our website, and hopefully, at some point, to our office located in Encino, California. The purpose of this website is to give potential patients some basic information about my office and myself, David Paikal, MD. My practice specializes in comprehensive ophthalmology, where I favor conservative approaches, striving to be true to the bioethical tenet of “first do no harm.”
My staff and I will do everything possible to take the best care of you. The reason we can do so is because we love what we do: helping people to see better. Sometimes, that means admitting that we don’t have all the answers and referring you elsewhere. No one physician knows it all, and my staff and I are fortunate to have strong relationships with various sub-specialists, including academicians at universities, should the need arise.
In the great city of Los Angeles, we are blessed to have many world-class ophthalmologists, and therefore, your eyes will more than likely be in the best of hands with the majority of eye-care providers. Ultimately, your decision as a patient on whom to choose will really rest on who you feel most comfortable with, and where you can achieve the kind of patient-doctor relationship you are looking for.
My educational background is attached for those of you who are interested. I wish you health and happiness.
Sincerely,
David Paikal, M.D. Diplomate American Board of Ophthalmology Assistant Clinical Professor, UCLA Stein Eye Institute
