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

Dr. Lin then joined the faculty at the University of Colorado, instructing and proctoring resident physicians. Dr. Lin is adamant about staying ahead of the curve by adding cutting-edge procedures to her surgical repertoire. As a member of the renowned Corneal Society, Dr. Lin is passionate about bringing the newest corneal transplant techniques into the private practice setting. She is one of a few ophthalmic surgeons who performs Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) – a sutureless, small incision corneal transplant that treats Fuch’s dystrophy, as well as Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) – a partial thickness corneal transplant that treats keratoconus and corneal scars. Outside of work, Dr. Lin enjoys classical music, cooking, and loves the outdoors. Even with her demanding schedule, she still makes time to travel abroad, go hiking, camping, skiing, and scuba diving.
