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.

Again, it was a bit difficult to make an appointment. They are probably too busy.
October 28, 2025
I just wanted to say that I felt very, very good with the information that Dr. DUDEJA gave me. He takes his time to explain and I was very pleased with the visit.
October 21, 2025
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!

July 15, 2025
The staff was very courteous and I really liked the way the doctor explained everything to me. I thank you very much.
July 01, 2025
During the pre-op, the nurses were very helpful and they explained everything that was going to happen during the process of the procedure. My only comment is after recovery, we're in the same room where people are waiting to be taken down, rolled down to the main lobby to be picked up. And so we're waking up and we're waking up to seeing all these strange people sitting in their wheelchairs looking at us. you know, if they can close the curtains during that time, that would be very, you know, more dignified. Anyway, that's it.
July 01, 2025
Dr. Dudeja throughly explained things!
June 17, 2025
My first response was a low response and I understand that the doctor only has appointments one day a week and that's what put the appointment very far out. Somehow it would be good to have to know that because we don't know these doctors or specialists and then maybe someone could provide other options to quell our anxiety. Dr. (name removed) seems like a very fine gentleman and he's going to take good care of me. Bye.
June 17, 2025
Listen attentively and answer my questions

The experience evaluated in this survey has been just as consistent over the past several years.
May 06, 2025
Dr. Dudeja is just so delightful and simply the best. And I always am grateful that I am able to have a doctor that's so caring and pays so much attention to your needs and the care that is needed for you. The last couple of times I schedule an appointment, they keep telling me that his book is not ready and it's not scheduled out and everything. And I just am not comfortable. When he tells me he wants to see me in six months and then I go to the desk and they say, well, I'm sorry, we can't book it. And this is what I've encountered since last January, trying to book an appointment. I feel that they're not being truly honest with me when I've discussed his plans and know that he's going to be there for a while and they're keep telling me something else. So now I have to call every month to see if I can get an appointment. No, that should be their responsibility. If the book isn't ready, put me down. And if he has to reschedule
May 06, 2025
Dr. Dudeja is a wonderful Dr. It is wonderful to feel so confident in the person taking care of your eye health. I truly appreciate Dr. Dudeja!
May 06, 2025
I'd like to mention that the receptionists are very friendly, and I'd also like to mention how sad it is that the doctor is retiring. But they do a very good job anyway. PROFESSIONAL!

Dr. Dudeja has been my ophthalmologist for several years now. Yesterday he informed me that he is in the process of retiring. My next appointment will be with one of his colleagues, Dr. (name removed). I have seen her before, and I was pleased with my experience with her. I look forward to the same level of cars from her that I have received from Dr. Dudeja.

March 13, 2025
He is great cataract surgeon.
March 11, 2025
Dr. Dudeja explained everything for an upcoming surgery. I need to have a cataract surgery. So he was very thorough in explaining what's going to happen and making sure I understood everything. So he's a really good doctor. Okay? So I just want to say, yes, I would recommend family and friends. And I think I have already. And the office staff there seems very nice and helpful too.
March 11, 2025
And Deep is a very, very good, caring practitioner. He knows his business, and he's a professional, and I really appreciate all his help all these years.
March 11, 2025
Dr. D, do not RETIRE !
March 04, 2025
I think because we were the last appointment, their rudeness on getting us out as quickly as possible, we felt very rushed. And they did not make an appointment and said that they didn't have the appointments yet and they didn't know when they were going to get it. I didn't feel it was appropriate. (INAUDIBLE) said it. Thank you.
March 04, 2025
Dr. Dudeja was so very patient, kind and professional. He explained everything about my eye condition and encouraged me to ask questions. He covered everything I needed to know. I appreciate his kindness and knowledge. Thank you, Dr. Dudeja.
March 04, 2025
Wait was a little long, but worth it to see the best
February 27, 2025
Very polite and answered all my questions.
February 13, 2025
Dr Dudeja and his staff are wonderful, always so patient and listens to our concerns. However, the office in Whittier Blvd leaves at lot to be desired. It was pouring rain and no awning at the front entrance and hard to get to with a wheelchair.
