    Jesse P.

    Dr. Janay Sekhon is my doctor and is the absolute best. I have been coming here for well over 15 years. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I can't say enough though about Dr. Janay: she is so kind, sweet, and pleasure to talk with, every time I go in. She happens to also be amazing at her job; knowing how my eyes are over the years and what makes my vision perfect for me. She listens to what I need and makes it happen. If I could give her 10 stars I would.

    Hi, do you guys accept MEDICAL insurance here?

    This is an optometry office, so they accept vision insurance. Ophthalmologists treat eye disease, which is often covered by medical insurance.

He made sure I was comfortable and had a very trustworthy and gentle demeanor that kept me at ease. I was worried because I have major anxiety, but I wasn't uncomfortable at all! On top of that, he taught me more about eye health than I had ever received from any of my past Optometrists! That in itself wowed me and spurred me to write this review!

I had multiple visits and needless to say they never got me the correct fit for contacts. I tried the contacts on that he had ordered for me and let him know during our next appointment that I couldn't see out of them so he ordered new ones to which no surprise- I couldn't see out of. He told me "it sometimes can take a bit for your eyes to adjust to them. So let's try to wear them all day". (HUH? I'm supposed to drive wearing contacts that make it impossible to see?) and proceeded to schedule our next appointment a month or more out to "see whether my eyes adjusted or not." ABSOLUTELY NOT.

However, my experience on the sales and fitting side mirrored the other negative reviews I found online. I went in on 3/2/26 prepared to invest in a full new setup including Kate Spade frames with progressive transition lenses, but I walked away 400 dollars out of pocket with glasses that are completely unusable. ​My primary need is seeing my computer screen, but when I sit down everything is blurry. Instead of addressing the lens issue, the staff tried to "rig" the frames by adding double nose pads and bending the ear pieces so tightly they dug into my head to force the glasses higher. When I returned after my first pair was finished on 3/16, a different staff member admitted the lenses were made incorrectly, yet they repeatedly mentioned a one-time fee for the correction as if the error was my fault. ​Between the initial fitting and the follow-ups, I spoke directly with four different staff members on the sales and fitting side. I received a second set of lenses on 3/25, but they were just as blurry. Trying to find the "sweet spot" in the prescription caused so much eye strain that I was in tears by 10 AM the next day. When I finally asked for a refund, they refused and even told my insurance company no. I am now out 400 dollars, I still do not have functional glasses, and I was never even given a copy of my prescription. ​I have officially filed a formal complaint with the California State Board of Optometry regarding the refusal to refund for a non-functional medical device. I am also reporting the office for violating the FTC Eyeglass Rule, as I was never provided a copy of my prescription after my exam. While the energy in the office is positive, the policies regarding defective products and the lack of empathy for inaccurate results is unsettling. If your prescription doesn't work out the first time, be prepared for a very difficult and expensive struggle.

    Decided to go with Global Lasik based on strong reviews. off the bat, the Huntington Beach location…read more(where surgery takes place) was clean, organized, and the equipment was noticeably more up to date compared to other clinics I had visited for consultations. Strong first impression. Staff is great and set the tone strong. The front desk team navigated my complicated FSA situation. They were flexible and genuinely helpful. The medical assistant, Jay, deserves a specific callout, as he was articulate and thorough from pre-op all the way through post-op questions. It felt personal rather than transactional. They're also structured with mapped out follow-up plans. Dr. Melikian's consultation was engaging and attentive. He flagged tissue scarring that had been noted at a prior eye exam, explained it clearly, confirming I was still an excellent LASIK candidate. What gave me even more confidence was that I independently followed up with a retina specialist afterward and his assessment aligned perfectly with Dr. Melikian. Going into surgery day, I'll admit I wasn't sure how I felt about having a separate surgeon (Dr. Youssef) from my consulting physician. Two different doctors felt like two different expectations. I was also bracing for something out of a horror movie. The reality felt like a Disney princess movie, calm, safe, and over before I knew it. Dr. Youssef's confidence alone is reassuring and combined with the sedatives, the whole procedure was pretty much effortless. I even came in with a chronic cough that day and it was a complete non-issue. Post-op at the Pasadena location matched the same energy, clean, organized, and welcoming. Vision is still in the early blurry stages, but given that it's only been two days post-op, the dryness and inflammation are completely normal. We all recover differently, so for now, I'm grounded and reassured. I will be updating this review as recovery progresses and the FSA process wraps up. Stay tuned.
