He had an open appt that same morning. I was in so much pain I would have seen anyone!! The office staff was professional and I didn't have to wait very long.

I received LASIK from DLV about 5 months ago but then my vision started to get blurry again so i…read morehad to call back to get a touch up. The doctor works in three different offices so he is only available on certain days for procedures. Does not do procedures on Thursdays and Fridays. They are not open weekends either. So I called in to schedule a touch up and there was a next day appointment available. I accepted the appointment and was given confirmation that my procedure would be in Camarillo. Around 5pm right before the office closes, i get a text message saying my appointment in Westlake has been canceled with no reason. So now im confused, do i take the day off tomorrow or is there a mix up? I call back the next morning to reschedule. I get a LASIk procedure scheduled for a Monday and they don't tell you the time until the day before the procedure. Come Friday before my procedure, I never received a call nor text nor email and its after hours and the office is closed on the weekends. Kind of an inconvenience as i have to arrange a ride and a caretaker. Fast forward to the day of my procedure. No calls or emails or texts received. I have to call and chase them down to find out whats going on. Apparently they canceled my procedure but neglected to inform me or even attempted to reach me the day of. Again i have to reschedule my appointment.

Always an hour wait. When I came they said the doctor was not in, and failed to tell me. Waste of…read moretime

Had an extraordinary and life changing experience at DLV vision, with Dr. Dougherty and the ENTIRE…read moreTEAM. A good friend recommended DLV and so I made an appointment and went to see if they could persuade me to hand over my vision to them, I was very skeptical because my vision was bad but not bad enough to be desperate for lasik. So anything less than an excellent result would have been a problem for me. From intake, to the initial exams, to the amazing closer/administrator Diana, the process was INSANELY human and warm and detailed. I saw so many specialists (surgeon, ophthalmology, optometry, lenses, etc) They made me feel completely in control, spent hours with me, gave me all the options and explanations I needed to feel fully comfortable moving forward. They even pushed forward my secondary screening to the same day so I could schedule the surgery for the soonest possible date. In the end my vision is exactly what was promised if not better. LASIK is not a cure all for 20/20 near and far, it has trade-offs, and Dr Dougherty explained all of these perfectly and exactly what he said would happen came true. I chose monovision to try and reduce the chances of or delay needing reading glasses. The monovision KICKS ASS. I can see my phone close up and perfect 10/20 far vision at the same time! Anyways, highly recommend. Top notch people, top notch process. Thank you DLV!

I'm a 51y old male from Phoenix Arizona and had a Pterygium identified on my right eye for 3 years…read more The growth was irritating and already into the green part, soon to obstruct the vision in that eye. I saw 2 different doctors in Arizona and neither wanted to operate on Pterygiums so they told me to just monitor it until it affected my vision. After intensive research and the use of ChatGPT, I found a Pterygium expert named Dr Franz Michel in California. The reviews and referrals for Dr Michel's Pterygium removal were stellar and had me feeling more than hopeful. I scheduled a telephone appointment and sent Dr photos and close-ups of my eye. We talked for at least 40 minutes about options. Dr Michel was never in a rush and answered my hundreds of questions. Dr Michel is such an expert in this growth he was able to help me understand it all so much better. We decided I was a good candidate for removal of the Pterygium. The office folks were equally great getting me scheduled and help navigate costs and insurance questions. Of course my insurance was a major pain and everyone in the office worked as a team to get the surgery covered. I should note, if my insurance did not cover it, the cash price offered was extremely fair and manageable. My wife and I made the 7 hour drive from Phoenix to Oxnard and found an affordable little motel 5 minutes from the Dr office. (Seaside Inn & Motel (A little divey but was clean, safe and close to the ocean)) The day of the surgery was so calm and pleasant. They got me ready and while the numbing meds kicked-in the doctor spent another 30+ minutes talking about my eye, the surgery and the recovery. The actual surgery was easy. I was awake and felt no pain or discomfort. My feeling was that it went perfectly as planned with no surprises. The recovery was equally easy, just chill and don't rub my eye and use my eye drops. I had soreness, but nothing that wasn't expected and very easy to deal with. We stayed in Oxnard a few more days and drove home. I am now 3 weeks out and my eye is doing great. I have follow-up appointments with Dr Michel via text and phone to track my progress. Even though living far away, it was worth the trip for me. Dr Michel has many patients traveling distance so they dealt with my situation perfectly and were totally accommodating. Dr Franz Michel is the real deal with the best bedside manner. He really is The King of Pterygiums. The women who run his office are also all absolute professionals. I can't thank them all enough. Attaching 2 photos. In one you can see the Pterygium and blood vessels. In the other, the Pterygium is gone and you can see the skin-graft healing perfectly. I hope my long review helps someone make a hard decision on finding a doctor they can trust.
