The Davidorfs (both father and son) are the worst (just cant bring myself to call them doctors) Ive ever encountered. I believe they are just chasing after money and they couldnt care less about their patients. Several years ago Jonathan Davidorf performed cataract surgery on me. He insisted on using a standard IOL. Prior to the surgery, he supplied various reasons why multifocal lenses are bad overall, and specially inappropriate for me. During my consultation, he was fully aware of my eye muscle (movement) problems which make use of reading glasses extremely difficult for me. I also explained that I am a software engineer by profession, and I spend 8-14 hours a day working on computer screens. Despite these facts, Davidorf remained insistent on using a standard IOL. He even explicitly reassured me that with a standard IOL I will not need glasses for my work. After my surgery I was essentially unable to work because of my vision. During my follow up visits, Davidorf told me my vision was normal for a standard IOL. It was as if he had not been in the room when we discussed my difficulties with reading glasses and the fact that I spend long hours working on computer screens. About a year later, I had my second cataract surgery at the UCLA Jules Stein Eye Institute. Although I had a standard IOL in my right eye, Dr. Joseph Miller at UCLA agreed that a multifocal lens is more appropriate in my case--as it would have been for my other eye. Keep in mind that ophthalmologist almost always prefer to use the same lens in both eyes. I can say without reservation that my multifocal IOL is a godsend. Few weeks ago, I went back to Davidorfs office (because he is located less than a mile from my house) for a checkup. After looking at my chart, Jonathan Davidorf started lecturing me about the inappropriateness of using the multifocal IOL in my left eye. I explained how the multifocal lens has once again restored my ability to work and function normally. I also told him that would not hesitate one second if I could replace the standard IOL that he used. Despite my firsthand experience, Davidorf maintained his position about the inappropriateness of the multifocal IOL. His irrational response to the facts makes me believe that hes getting kickbacks from the IOL manufacturers. I would not use this provider for even the simplest annual eye exam.

The best in the business. They came very highly recommended to me, and they lived up[ to it. I am 53. My eyes had almost every problem: nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatism. I have been legally blind (without corrective lens) for many years, so my problems were very serious. I had been having trouble getting decent prescriptions on contacts or glasses. These guys have a very professional set up. They checked and measured my eyes more ways than anyone has ever done it before. Dr. Davidorf said that lasik would work, but, since he spotted the start of cataracts, he suggested mutlifocal intraocular lens implants. The idea of eye surgery scared me. They did a fabulous job, however. The surgery could not have been easier and less traumatic; it was in and out in a few hours, with no pain and no trauma of any kind. I had no complications of any kind. Best of all, I am now 20-20, with no need for glasses or contracts. You can rely on Dr. Davidorf; he does amazing work.

Very recently had both of eyes operated on for Cataracts- with a premium len inserted- the operation was a breeze and the result have been incredible-seeing 20/20 -not a cheap endeavor-but well worth every penny-Very professional experience- from beginning to end- if you want a good result this is the team I should also state I am a retired physician -I did not let them know -and was treated great just like- the eye is very important and I could not be happier that I have the sight of 20 year old- thanks for the great service

I have been going there for a few years, wont be again. Glasses were fine, service variable. Then I had lens surgery, for glaucoma and deteriorating near vision. Ive been back to get the near vision improved, but young Doc says its beyond his abilities. Possible torn retina. "Lets see if it improves" The last experience I had with the staff, I wont be back. Anything reminding me to come back? Nope. My advise, find someone else.

Had an amazing experience. Irina is extremely knowledgeable, patient and has a fantastic bedside manner. Her sales staff is also top notch. They strive to provide an amazing customer service experience. Instead of trying to hard sell you on the most expensive frame, they suggest what actually fits you, both aesthetically and technically. Great experience all around.
