My Background: I have been a slave to prescription glasses and contact lenses since 6th grade. After 27 years (I am 38 now), I decided to finally get iLASIK because of the technique's long track record and I can now actually afford the treatment. Facility Selection: I was referred to Dr. Berg's facility, along with a couple others, by my optometrist in 2025. I chose Dr. Berg's office based on pricing and accessibility. I received $900 off per eye ($3000/eye down to $2100/eye; the other places didn't offer) for the referral and he has several satellite offices that made it easier for me to drive to. These were the initial attractive factors. Care Quality: There's really no way for me to know what my experience could have been at the other laser correction facilities. However, I do not regret choosing Dr. Berg's office at all. At every point, from the personalized consultation to the actual procedure, I felt that I was in good hands. Both Dr. Berg and his staff are not only highly knowledgeable, but they were also very friendly and made my questions feel welcomed. When I read Dr. Berg's resume and mission statement, I felt assuaged to know that he is an experienced top-notch independent surgeon who used only state-of-the-art equipment and isn't running a LASIK mill. This meant that the chances of me needing an enhancement or touch-up are very low. I enjoyed interacting with Dr. Berg's staff as well. They felt like honest down-to-earth people that could relate to my pre-surgery anxieties. I appreciated the fact that they didn't try to push or sell me extra things. There is a Lifetime Commitment warranty that's optional. However, they didn't press me to buy it and I see that as a green flag. With how they measured my eyes and checked my candidacy twice, once during consultation and again right before the procedure, demonstrates a high level of professionalism, quality practice, and rigorous ethics to me. Facility Experience: I think that it's also worthwhile commenting on their offices. I went to the Arcadia one for the consultation and the Sherman Oaks office, where the actual procedure is done. Both were very clean and well-kept. The waiting, examination and operating rooms are very sterile and I felt comfortable being in them. Results: At the time of writing this, I am sitting at 3 days post-op and enjoying a glasses-free life with my vision being right as rain. As a matter of fact, I saw vision improvements immediately after my iLASIK procedure with Dr. Berg, and my visual acuity sharpened further as my eyes healed more. I am scheduled to see Dr. Berg directly for continual follow-up appointments to ensure that my eyes are fine. Closing Statement: For readers who see this review and are contemplating getting iLASIK, I genuinely recommend Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't scared during the actual procedure--I was terrified! But I honestly would've felt like that anywhere I went. All I can say is that Dr. Berg and his staff were excellent in providing vocal reassurance and guidance during the procedure, and that made all the difference for me emotionally. In the end, I was granted video footage of my actual iLASIK treatment and I can evidentially see that Dr. Berg is incredibly dexterous and skilled. I cannot argue with the awesome results and I hope that this review provides more visibility (pun intended) for the Berg-Feinfield group and clarification for prospective candidates! read more

Choosing Dr. Berg was truly a life-changing decision. I was referred to him by a friend who is a pilot, and he spoke very highly of Dr. Berg, his staff, and the personal attention he provides to his patients. From the beginning, I understood why. Dr. Berg's staff was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and detailed in explaining every part of the process. During the surgery, I was very nervous, especially since I am sensitive about anything involving my eyes. Dr. Berg took the time to explain each step with care, consideration, and precision, which helped me feel calm and confident throughout the procedure. Immediately after surgery, Dr. Berg carefully checked my eyes again, showing the same level of dedication and professionalism. Before the procedure, I had astigmatism and struggled to see clearly at night and at a distance. The very next day, I returned to my optometrist for another eye exam and passed with 20/20 vision. After taking another exam, my vision tested at 15/15. I was absolutely shocked. I have never had eyesight this good in my entire life, not even before I started wearing glasses at 21 years old. The entire experience was amazing. I truly feel like I have a brand-new set of eyes. I use reading glasses for computer work, but everything else is 15/15. I feel like I have laser vision, sharp as a hawk. My night vision is excellent! Blessings to Dr. Berg and his wonderful staff for their dedication and many years of professional service..

I went to Dr. Berg for lasik surgery and the whole process was extremely easy. From the front office staff to the doctors everyone was very professional and quick to answer any questions. Overall amazing care team read more

Dr. Berg did an amazing job. For 8 years I could see like an eagle and read tiny print. At the time of my lasiks I was told that if my vision started to go down hill to go back and they would correct it for free. Not the case. I did not come up with that on my own. It also didn't mention that I referred all my friends. So now there is no way I would go back . That was a big selling point and I'm sad that they turned out to be full of it. So no I would go elsewhere. They were wholesome all American office and I trusted them. read more

They told me that my distance vision would be corrected permanently. It's several years later and I'm wearing glasses again. They have a "TLC Lifetime Commitment" that says they'll correct any issues, but when I called them, they informed me that I needed to show them results of an annual eye exam... for the past 26 years!!! Why? I highly doubt they've ever had to fulfill this so-called commitment they make. read more

Dr. Berg performed my cataract surgery and the entire process and results have been incredible! I chose to upgrade and pay for laser surgery and PanOptix lens. It's expensive and insurance doesn't pay for it, but I now have 20/20 vision. No contacts, no reading glasses! This has been the best investment I've ever made. Dr. Berg, as busy as his practice is, never rushed, was so professional and really "saw" me. I'm truly grateful he was my surgeon. read more

I had the most amazing experience! The staff and Dr Berg were kind and friendly. They were very informative and made the process of getting lasik so easy. The care I received was amazing and I know they are there if I need anything!!! Highly recommend to everyone. read more

Dr. Berg and his staff our AMAZING! Whether it's cataract, or any other ocular surgery, you are in the best hands.

Dr. Berg and the staff are so friendly and wonderful. Dr. Berg has many patients yet still manages to make you feel like his only priority. Not only is everyone very welcoming, but they're also extremely professional. I got LASIK for my nearsighted vision, and my vision is how perfect. No contacts, no glasses. I see 20/20, if not better. I can't thank Dr. Berg and his staff enough. It all seems too good to be true. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. read more

From start to finish, my experience at Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction was fantastic! Everybody was kind, helpful and attentive! They office staff were cheerful and patient with all of my questions and helped get me scheduled around my work schedule. The Surgical staff was amazingly cheerful at 5:45am when I arrived for my procedure and we're very present and supportive throughout the process of the surgery Always making sure that I was comfortable And knew what was gonna be happening next. The anesthesiologist was also lovely and listened to and addressed all of my questions and concerns. Dr. Berg himself is very well respected by his peers and I can see why! He and is incredibly professional and knowledgeable but is also caring at the same time. I felt safe and secure through every step of the procedure of my first cataract surgery. And as far as the surgery went, I've never seen this well in my life! Fantastic job and my thanks to everyone! Jill Ohanneson read more

Dr. Berg and staff were excellent, taking the time to answer any questions and make me feel comfortable before, during, and after surgery. I am so happy with my experience and glad to have finally moved forward with lasik. I would definitely recommend Dr. Berg and have already shared information for the practice with curious friends. read more

If you were deciding to get Lasik here, I think this is one of the best decisions you could ever make! Everybody in the office is really friendly nice as well as open to answering any of your questions. When I did my operation here, it was pretty fast and only lasted about 10 to 20 minutes at most. The price of value is also very good here too. Highly recommend anyone who wants to get Lasik done to come here! read more

I had LASIK with Dr. Berg several years ago. My vision was perfect for a while. Then my eyes became extremely sensitive to sunlight. I literally could not go outside for a second without them tearing up. Dr. Berg said it was because I have light eyes. Fast forward and now the vision in my left eye was become extremely blurry. I bought their lifetime guarantee, yet it does not cover anything "after a few years" according to their office. They also want to charge $350 for an eye exam just to tell me their lifetime guarantee won't cover a touch up. read more

I was pretty apprehensive going into LASIK because it's an elective surgery and the idea of anything involving my eyes made me incredibly nervous. I had so many questions and Dr. Berg and his team did an incredible job answering them. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel comfortable, informed, and supported. They walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions, and helped ease the anxiety I had going in. Their professionalism and calm confidence made all the difference. I was really nervous day of, but the procedure itself was quick, and they coached me through it the whole time even giving me a stuffed animal for support (which i squeezed the whole time) and a blanket to keep me warm. I really felt taken care of. Its been over 24 hours and recovery thus far has been smooth and straightforward. You can tell that this team is a well-oiled machine of experienced professionals. I'm beyond grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend Dr. Berg and his team to anyone considering LASIK. read more

My only regret is not having done this procedure sooner. I finally gave in and decided to do lasik since I was tired of buying contacts, paying for new glasses annually, contact solution, etc. Was referred to Dr Berg by my optometrist office compared to other procedures (Smile and LaserIQ). Process was so seamless and everyone was extremely friendly. Every visit they continuously check my vision to ensure there are no changes and everything is accurate. I performed my dilation at my home optometrist and did all other procedures with Dr Berg's Burank and Sherman Oaks office. Day of procedure was explained thoroughly each time. Upon arrival they reran more testing before performing the procedure. I wish I did this review sooner because I remember all the assistants name. The assistant who went over my post op and prepared me for surgery was the best. She was so friendly and thorough through the entire process. She made sure I was comfortable first before she took me to the operating room. 1 valium unfortunately didn't cut it for me and so she gave me another half just to ease my nervousness. The assistants inside the OR was also friendly and explained to me the process while laying on the chair. They gave me a weighted bear to hug for my procedure and provided me a blanket to keep warm. Dr Berg was patient and talked me through the entire procedure. The only uncomfortable part was definitely the pressure of the device he used for the laser cutting but it wasn't anything bad. Everything else was so smooth and seamless. I thought it was cool that they even gave me a recording of my procedure which I was able to share with friends and family. Worst part of the entire process was the drive home since my eyes were BURNING so bad. It was extremely sensitive to light even with the sunglasses they gave me. I had to use my sweater to cover my eyes. The minute I got home I took the sleeping meds immediately cause I could not bear the burning. I passed out so fast and woke up at 9pm and was able to see clear as day. I was shocked. Sleeping and retaping the eye shield was the most annoying part but everything afterwards was so seamless. I had some burst vessels in each eye but that cleared in a week. Haven't had any complications nor experience dry eye but I still distill drops just to be safe. Highly recommend Dr Berg's office. read more

If you're on the fence about getting LASIK, this review is for you. I am writing this review 4 days post-LASIK with Dr. Berg and I will write an updated review in a few months from now when my vision stabilizes more. Consultation The consultation was free and lasted around 90 minutes. They checked my vision and measured my cornea's thickness to ensure I was a suitable candidate. They also dilated my eyes, so don't forget to bring sunglasses. Then, Dr. Berg came in. He was really nice and we talked for about 10 minutes. He answered all my questions and confirmed that I was a good fit for the procedure. Next, another doctor, Dr. Kim, did more tests on my eyes and answered a few more questions. She was super friendly! After that, I was taken to another room where pricing, pre-op procedures, and timelines were discussed. You don't have to make up your mind on the spot. They'll give you a folder with all the details. When you're ready, just give them a call to book your appointment. Tip: Get familiar with the procedure and all the potential side effects before your visit. That way, you can ask the right questions during the consultation. LASIK Day They re-performed all the tests from the consultation, plus did additional ones including cornea mapping. Dr. Berg does wavefront-guided LASIK, while some other places do wavefront-optimized. I was told the outcomes are very similar, but WFG is a tiny bit better because it's customized to your eyes (no treatment is the same), whereas with WFO everybody with the same prescription gets the same treatment. Either option works well. Before the procedure, I was extremely anxious but Dr. Kim provided reassurance that everything would be fine. Then, I received ibuprofen for pain and valium to help relax, accompanied by a thorough explanation of post-op care. Once the valium kicked in, they took me to the procedure room. I laid down on a more comfortable version of a dentist's chair. Dr. Berg numbed my eyes and narrated each step. There was no pain but some discomfort when the flap was created. Then he said "Lights out," my vision went black for about 15 seconds, but Dr. Berg counted down. Each eye's treatment took maybe 90 seconds. Upon standing up, I could see immediately. Dr. Berg taped goggles to my eyes, and that was it. Post-Op I was told to keep my eyes closed for at least 5 hours because it would sting, burn, itch, and water (this actually never happened to me). They also provided Ambien to help me sleep once I got back home. When I woke up and took off the goggles to apply eye drops, I could see right away. The following morning, I visited Dr. Berg for a quick check, which only took about 5 minutes. They scheduled me to return in 2 weeks for a follow-up. Current Vision and Side Effects I can see like I could never before but my vision isn't stable yet. Sometimes my vision goes in and out of focus and my vision up close is still blurry but I've been told and read this is normal while the eyes heal. It just takes time. That said, I see improvements every single day and I am able to live a normal life. I have a lot of red spots on my eyes from the flap creation. It doesn't look like an infection - it looks like you were hit in the eyes but this too is fading every day. Sometimes I have some light sensitivity It comes and goes but it doesn't really bother me. I just wear sunglasses inside the house when it happens. I do see halos and starbursts at night. Again, I've been told it will resolve over time. It isn't blinding but takes some time to get used to. None of these side effects were a surprise to me because I familiarized myself with the procedure like crazy. Overall I had a really good experience, and I believe Dr. Berg is an exceptional doctor. He's super calm and gets straight to the point. He's not the chatty type but he is very nice; he treats the whole thing like a medical procedure, not like a cosmetic one. The treatment includes 12 months of aftercare with regular checkups to make sure you're healing up well. One thing I'd suggest is letting patients choose to get the post-op eye drops from a regular pharmacy. That way, insurance could cover them. Right now, you can only get them directly from their office, adding an extra cost of $150 to the procedure. read more

I had the most amazing easy care here. I got a free consolation here and the nurses were so sweet and kept checking in. It was so quick and they did amazing at giving me all my information to feel comfortable. They didn't try to lead me into anything I wasn't comfortable with or use their credit to pay for it. I actually ended following through and getting the lasik. And he did amazing. I got 20/20 instantly. He made sure I was comfortable in surgery and reassured me the whole time. I'm definitely recommending him to all my friends. read more

The staff was friendly and accommodating, and Dr. Berg did a great job at calming my nerves during the operation. I recommend everyone who needs it get LASIK here! read more

If you're on the fence about LASIK, this is your sign to do it with Dr. Berg. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and honestly life-changing. I wake up now and forget what it was like to need glasses or contacts. It's wild. Dr. Berg is the real deal. He took his time walking me through everything and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. He answered all my questions, even the nervous ones I asked more than once. You can tell he really cares and takes pride in what he does. The procedure itself was quick and painless. His team kept everything calm and professional, and I felt completely taken care of. The best part? My vision is now better than 20/20. Getting LASIK with Dr. Berg was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're thinking about it, don't wait. Just do it. You won't regret it. read more

Did extremely well with the laser eye surgery. No issues at all and was able to get back to everything normally the next day.

The best decision I've ever made! The staff was incredibly welcoming and kept me informed every step of the way. I felt supported and well-guided throughout the entire process. I can see !!! read more

My eyesight is really really very very bad. Now since I'm older,  my eye doctor from Kaiser and my other eye doctor says in the future, I need cataract surgery.  I also know I need Lasik surgery also to correct my vision since cataract surgery can only do so much to correct my bad eyesight. So while I was doing research on eye surgery, I found out that I suppose to do Lasix when I'm young, not when I'm older.  I decided to make an appointment to see if I'm still qualified for it or not. Most of the staff are nice except for one on the phone who didn't believe I needed both surgeries done.  I went to the office on my appointment. Everyone was nice. I think I surprised one lady who couldn't believe how bad my eyesight was.  After doing lots of eye checks, it is time for the final check up with the eye surgeon! I told him to just be honest with me. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. So after checking my eyes and checking all the eye tests, he has bad news. I'm not qualified for Lasik anymore and I better off waiting until I'm qualified for cataract surgery with Kaiser.  I noticed the doctor is a little bit in a rush but I'm glad he is honest with me.  Do I recommend this place? Yes, I do. At least they are honest with you and tell you what you need to do. read more

I had been told I would not be a candidate for LASIK as one of my eyes was too bad. I was given a referral for Beth-Feinfield stating they might be the only option. I incredibly nervous and put LASIK off for quite some time, but from the first consultation I felt I was in good hands. I was provided with answers before I even knew my questions. The staff makes you feel safe and secure even during the procedure and you never feel alone. I just finished my post op appointment and feel amazing that I can finally wake up and see! Thank you so much for an amazing experience, and like everyone says, I wish I had done it sooner read more

Dr Berg and staff were friendly and helpful. The lasik process was easy. I was clear on the procedure and what was needed to be done afterwards. Its so great to no longer need to wear contact lens'. I would definetly recommend coming here read more

5 stars for Dr Berg and all the staff. My eyes are terrible, negative 6.00 and could not see without my contact lense or glasses and yet I did not want laser simply because I was scared. A friend recommended this office, I went in for consultation and the following week boom! my surgery was done! Lol. I forgot about being scared. There was nothing to be scared about. Dr Berg and all the staff are very thorough, will answer all your questions and follows up post surgery. I felt at ease, at home, and comfortable. I am sooo pleased and happy to have found Dr Berg's office. Thank you to all of you. read more

Dr. Berg is the Best eye surgeon of all time. Best staff of all time. Best optometrists on staff. Great location with easy parking. I've had two major surgeries here with Dr. Berg. First was PRK type lasik 15 years ago, I walked out of the office and it was like I'd been cured of poor vision. It was amazing. Excellent aftercare and help the entire process. Surgery was easy. Then, recently, I developed a cataract in one eye. Had it taken care of immediately and chose the light adjustable lens to replace the cataract. Surgery at the Pacific surgery center in Burbank was a breeze. Follow up care and adjusting the lens a few weeks later was easy. Staff at the surgery center were all phenomenal as well. Really can't say enough wonderful things about everyone involved at Berg-Feinfeld and the pacific surgery center read more

Dr. Berg was so professional and kind and I could tell his experience is his best asset. His staff was all wonderful and accommodating. The consultation at the Burbank office was smooth and painless. On the day of my surgery, the entire Berg-Feinfield team was kind, patient, and efficient. Instructions for after-care were clear and concise. The procedure itself was fast and completely painless. The results are wonderful so far! The healing process is great because I knew exactly what to expect thanks to Dr. Berg's expertise. I'm so grateful for the new ability to see without glasses or contacts. Thank you! read more

Getting my LASIK surgery done at Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction was one of the best decisions ever. What a life-changing experience to be able to do my day-to-day activities without the need for glasses anymore. Dr. Berg made me feel so at ease during the procedure.

And this procedure couldn't have gone as successfully as it did if it weren't for the absolutely OUTSTANDING staff. Everyone at Berg-Feinfeld is so kind and warm and they made each visit so wonderful. If you're getting LASIK, get it done here! read more

Absolutely fantastic experience! Lasik is pretty scary but the entire staff made the entire process extremely comfortable and easy to understand. The actual surgery wasn't nearly as bad as I had anxiously envisioned and the team was very communicative through the whole process. I was referred by a friend and am glad I took his advice. I've already referred my sister and 4 other friends. 10/10. Would lasik again. read more

I had both my eyes ICL surgery with Dr Berg and the results are beyond excellent! Dr Berg was very kind and professional and assured me along the way with my surgery.  Addressed my concerns and aimed for the best results possible.  After Dr Berg did my other eye ICL surgery, both my eyes gained 20 20 or better vision.  I never could see this sharp with glasses or contact lens ever! I have to apologize to Dr Berg, I was wrong about my night vision causes. Now with both eyes corrected,  my night vision is great with very little halos, not as much at all. I wanted to thank Dr Berg and his team for doing this above and beyond excellenct professional job.   It absolutely improved my life quality a lot more for the rest of my life.  I can't thank him enough, just wish him all the best! read more

Berg-Feinfield Vision Correction - Dr Berg and me. He is the kindest and the best eye surgeon ever. - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

The office is fast and efficient. I was able to finish my appointment in a timely manner (1 hour and 30 mimutes, plus or minus a few minutes) without a lot of waiting. All of the testing with camera equipment, vision check, and dilation were completed within this time frame. Do come prepared with questions. I was able to schedule my surgery about 3 weeks out from my consultation. This was a personal preference given I had a busy month and had to work out time off from work. I only time off for the day of the surgery and returned to work the following Monday. I think that the surgery went by smoothly. There was an initial nervousness, which is normal. My surgery took about 15 minutes to complete and I am really happy with my results. I did not feel anything during my surgery since my eyes were numb. I was given a teddy bear to hold on to, which was a nice touch to ease the nervousness. If you do forget to bring something warm to wear, you do have the option of having a blanket place over you to keep warm in the surgery room. There was some discomfort after surgery, tearing eyes, which is expected. It is really important to follow the surgery post-op instructions of sleeping and keeping the eyes closed after surgery; this helped tremendously. I was able to see after my surgery. My vision was a bit blurry, but I could see things clearer without my contacts or glasses. In the beginning of recovery, it felt like I was wearing my contacts and kept reminding myself to take them off even though I was not wearing them. I am a little over a week post-op and I can feel my vision becoming a little bit less blurry and settling in. I know the recovery is going to take a bit longer. Overall, I am pleased and happy with my results. Thank you Dr. Berg and staff for your hospitality! read more

Took a friend to these two guys and was disappointing. My friend was blind in one eye and 50 percent blind in the other. They actually discouraged my friend from having cataract eye surgery. Said that you can see in one that would be fine to go thru life like this. They were too scared to work on eyes. We went to Jules Stein in UCLA and now my friend can see after 10 years without glasses. These guys suck. read more
