My visit with Dr Gilbert on Monday 5/11/26 went exactly like I hoped it would. His team conducted an exam that reviewed the condition of my eyesight and then reviewed my medical and family history in a comfortable setting. De Show moreGilbert then came in and conducted his exam which was more detailed. He explained the process, noted that my left eye was in need of treatment, and that we can discuss additional options at a later time. That seemed logical and straightforward. Dr Gilbert had taken care of my wife’s cataracts a few years ago. She was highly complimentary of Dr Gilbert’s skill and personality. I look forward to soon having this procedure. Neal

She answers questions when asked, is kind and caring when doing the exam, and I am grateful for having had the opportunity to be under her vision care.

Very conscientious and thorough in analysis of patients. Very professional ophthalmologist. You can’t find a better practice in Contra Costa County.
As a physician myself, I am very particular about my medical care and most especially my eye care. Dr. Gilbert surpassed all my expectations. Improving my vision from legal blindness in both eyes to 20/20 in my left eye and 20/25 in my right eye. This evidence speaks for itself. All I can say is thank you Dr. Gilbert on surgeries well done. John Toth, D.O.
Dr. Gilbert has been my eye doctor for years, and my recent follow-up after cataract surgery once again reminded me why I trust him with my eye care. He is knowledgeable, patient, courteous, and genuinely cares about his patients. He always takes the time to answer my questions and makes me feel comfortable and well cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Gilbert and the team at his office

My experience with Dr Gilbert has been a pleasant professional and knowledgeable experience very satisfied with results regarding medical procedures and advice.
Very professional and excellent service.
Dr Gilbert answered all of my questions about cataract surgery, he was professional, knowledgeable and reduced my anxiety. I would highly recommend him for any eye surgery or care.
FYI Doctor and staff great. But every time I have to wait 30 to 40 minutes before I am taken back to get started. This has been going on for years.
Excellent follow/up appointment. Short wait time. Immediately feed-back with a new visit scheduled.
Very professional.
Dr. Lomelino, is absolutely the best and I have always appreciated her professionalism, knowledge and recommendations. Her compassionate personality, thorough exam and diagnostics, reassures me, I have truly received the best care. Dr. Lomelino and Dr. Gilbert, are without question, the reason I continue to receive my treatment, at Diablo Eye Associates.
Dr. Lomelino is a professional who shows care for her patients and explains each step as she is examining. I will certainly miss her. Best of luck Dr. Michele Lomelino
Staff is polite and efficient. Dr. Gilbert always takes his time to explain.
What a fabulous, down-to-earth, helpful doctor! I actually enjoy going to the eye doctor because I know Dr. Lomolino will help me without judgement and in a friendly and kind manner.
Dr. Gilbert has been a kind and supportive doctor. I feel that he takes the time to truly listen to your concerns. I never felt rushed or that he was bothered by my concerns or extra questions. The office staff had been friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this office.
She actively interacts with patients and is friendly and efficient.
Great listener. Cheerful and positive too. Explains patiently and effectively.
Arrived early but was seen promptly
Dr. Lomelino has been taking care of me along with Dr. Gilbert for many years. I trust Dr. Lomelino’s care and professionalism. What a pleasure to have a provider like her in my corner.
Very thorough and knowledgeable on all things that concerned my eyes.

Improved my prescription I will know more after the new glasses have been received and I put them to the test. Her eye exam was very thorough anIm
I really like Dr Lonelino she explains what she's doing & listens to my concerns. The only issue I have with the doctors office is the automated appointment reminder before my appointment, I got a live person called me plus numerous texts, which I confirmed with and still got another text afterward
On my recent visit to Dr. Gilbert, I had my last post operation visit following two cataract surgeries. He explained that the the two surgeries produced results that were exactly as planned. I will still have wear glasses, also as planned, but now I will be a able to take them off and still see things with reasonable clarity. I am very happy and would recommend Dr. Gilbert highly!
