Dr. Harvey Uy's Binondo and Makati Clinics

Drs. Harvey Uy and Sheri Liquete, the anesthesiologist.

My friend, who, with her parents, were Harvey's patients in Asian Eye Institute, wanted to know what his clinic hours are, and urged me to blog them.

The new name of all his clinics is Pacific Eye & Laser Institute.

Yesterday, its first day, I was the sixth patient in the history of the Makati Surgical Center. It is located where The Spa used to be, at 50 Jupiter St., Bel-Air. The eyp interactive map is here.

From Kalayaan, I turned left to Makati Avenue, turned left to Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue (because you can't turn left on Jupiter St., contrary to what someone not connected to Pacific had advised me), turned left on Paseo, then turned left on Jupiter. It's a few buildings down on the right. Parking is ample, but with tricky curves. DFC parked in the closed building at the corner before it.

Pacific Eye & Laser Institute calling card.

I almost hit a curve, if not for my co-IRB member, Atty. Bernard Kaw, the first time I tried to park in the basement, so the last time I was there, I parked in BBQ five buildings away on false pretenses, so I have to be creative--again--the next time I go there, if Pacific still does not have valet parking.

Anyway, from Jupiter, the best way out is to go towards Makati Avenue, turn right at Polaris, turn left after Anzo, turn right at P. Burgos, right at Kalayaan, right at Amapola, follow the road until it becomes Rockwell Drive.

Dr. Harvey gives Dr. Sheri and me a tour.

Going to Makati Med, the best way is turn left to Nicanor Garcia from Jupiter, turn right at Gil Puyat, turn right at Zuellig Loop (I think, it's the street before Ayala Extension), turn right at Malugay, cross Sen. Gil Puyat to Tordesillas. The rightmost lane was long, so I took a right after H. V. dela Costa, turned right to Leviste, turned left to Rufino, crossed Ayala, turned right to dela Costa and parked in the parking lot on the right, at the corner of Geronimo and dela Rosa. (The Google Map seems to be missing Geronimo).

I thought that this was going to be the Lasik room. Laser room?

If you take the rightmost lane, you can turn right at dela Costa, cross to Ayala to Geronimo, turn right at Amorsolo, follow the road until you reach Makati Med, turn right up to the driveway for valet parking. The parking building entrance is after the driveway, and the entrance to the parking lot beside Makati Med is after the parking building entrance. Both are almost always full, so I've resorted to parking at the treeful parking lot on Legazpi Street. From dela Rosa, turn left at Rufino, turn left at Legazpi Street. It's on the right. Walk to Salcedo Street at the right. turn left at dela Rosa until you see Makati Med, where there's a side entrance.

Anyway, Harvey texted me today that he is in Makati on Wednesdays and Fridays, 8 to 5. He is in Binondo Mondays 9 to 5, and Thursdays, 2 to 5. His Binondo clinic is on the Ground Floor, Pacific Center (formerly Pacificbank), 460 Quintin Paredes St. Dr. Sheri's husband told me that it's near the old Dragon Seed, Jollibee and Red Ribbon. Dr. Sheri and I know people who are excited with his Binondo clinic, as it is quite near where they live or frequent.

He is at St. Luke's Quezon City on Saturdays, 8-5, Room 611, South Tower, Cathedral Heights. When you enter St. Luke's from E. Rodriguez, Sr. Ave., it's the building on the left. The last time I was in St. Luke's last month, in the evening, so I parked at Cathedral Heights. I went up the driveway, then turned left to the parking building.

The appointment numbers for all clinics are 890-01-15 or 0917-8749202. The email address is appointment@pacificeye.com.ph. For St. Luke's Quezon City, the appointment numbers are 411-41-12 or 723-01-01 loc. 2611. I tried to access pacific.com.ph and got their login page.

The only clinic which will have an optical shop is Makati. The optical shop will open end-January. Across his Binondo clinic is Crystal, an optical shop owned by ex-AEI optometrists who he said I would recognize.

Incidentally, my previous post on his clinic still got 20 out of the 123 views yesterday.

Except for the calling card photo which I scanned today, all photos were taken yesterday at Pacific Eye Makati. I tried to access the website and got to their login page.
