The surgery was above and beyond what I expected. I've been wearing glasses for more years than I can remember.

I've visited both of her offices and the surgical center several times the offices are extremely clean. The staff is courteous, efficient and professional. I highly recommend Dr.Leslie Garay. Thank you Dr.Garay you're the best!

Then they have the nerve to keep calling me every few month for a yearly appointment. I thought I'll die in 3 months bro.. why do I need an appointment? Btw nothing is wrong with me he just didn't know how to look at someone's optical nerve and caused me to waste $500 to go to a specialist the same day. For what? For nothing. So no I DO NOT WANT to have another appointment and would be lovely if they could stop calling me and reminding me of the time they scared me to death.

4.5 Stars I found my…read moreeye doctor! Baldwin Park Eye Care is amazing; Dr. Jagani and his team are professional, thorough, funny, and kind. My husband and I recently moved to the area and were in desperate need to getting our eyes checked as we work mainly on our computers and haven't been able to have any checkups last year due to COVID. It was super easy to make an appointment online (I love this feature so much) and we were able to book our appointments a week out. As the office is in Baldwin Park, the only parking available is street parking; so get comfortable parallel parking. I felt very happy with the social distancing measures and COVID precautions taken by the office. They only allowed 1-2 clients in at a time and only patients with appointments were allowed in. I think walk-ins would've been welcomed, but only if the office didn't already have clients inside. My entire experience was pretty painless and I ordered a new pair of glasses and received some pretty good advice and recommendations from Dr. Jagani. Kim and McKenna were super helpful in finding me a pair that suited my face. I docked half a star because they tried pretty hard to sell me on doing a retinal scan/photo -- while I understand that it would likely provide good information about my eyes, I didn't feel that I needed/wanted it during this appointment. I had declined it on the online Patient Intake Form, but was offered the service on three separate occasions during my appointment. It just felt a bit awkward having to turn down something four times, in total. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service provided by Baldwin Park Eye Care and am happy to have them on my medical care team.

It was an extremely unpleasant way to begin my visit and I nearly left based on her snarky behavior. One star. Fortunately things improved. Tech Shawn was so thorough and kind. He put me at ease and warmed my heart with his gentle nature. He let me know why he was doing all the checks and what to expect next. 5 stars Upon seeing her, about 50 minutes after my initial entry and preliminary exams, Dr. Kurzon was insightful and recommended a medication for eyelid that is new and could make a huge difference for my eye health. She departed the room a bit abruptly and another tech came in to lay out the tools for Dr. Kurzon to perform an in office procedure on my eye. 5 stars. I then waited for the doctor to come back, about 15 minutes. She did the procedure, then let me know verbally what I'd need to do the rest of the day and for about a week, plus pickup prescription at the drugstore. I wish it had been given to me in writing, as I was pretty anxious at the time. 4 stars. Checkout was clipped and professional. 4 stars. TL/dr: Dr (and tech) quite competent, receptionist has terrible customer care behavior.

This was the greatest possible experience I could ever have. Both eyes came out 20-20, across all distances from 16" to infinity, with zero astigmatism. They started out about -3.5D nearsighted and up to 1.5D astigmatism. Absolutely awesome experience. I am a PITA about surgery. I research and question everything. Its sometimes hard for doctors to put up with me and my questions. Dr. Shumski not only did great work, but was gracious about my questions and called me 3 times to answer questions. I also got several email answers. I received full documentation about the surgery and all questions/concerns were answered. His staff and associates were also wonderful.

Everyone says, "why did I wait so long to have the surgery?" JUST DO IT!!! After my initial visit, I ran into a friend of mine, who was in the waiting area for a follow up appointment.

First of all the lady knows her profession inside and out, but she treats you with kindness and respect. Everything I want in a friend. We have gone to Dr Poulos off an on as my husband's cataracts got worse and he recently had surgery to replace his eye lens. Dr Poulos consulted with us. She took the time to present the facts, help us decide and explain what would happen. Her staff is also efficient and caring. They work together like a team and the educate and prepare you for your procedure. They present you with a little kit and a folder with the exact instructions easily mapped out. Overall the kindness and caring I see in Dr Poulos is also reflected in her staff. They use the latest equipment to measure and gather the information for the procedure. They give you instructions written and verbal and call you before the appointment to make sure you understand exactly what to do. Our contact for surgery scheduling made it convenient and she was very nice as she worked to get both eyes completed before the holidays. The drops that you must buy for cataract surgery can be costly. Dr Poulos works with a pharmacy that delivers but more importantly they offer a really good discount. A co-worker went to a different doctor and paid $100 for each of 3 small bottles and my average for similar 3 bottles was $65 each. A significant savings and one I would not have known about except Dr Poulous negotiates to provide their patients an easy way to get the medication at a significant savings. The staff is really good about keeping the appointments on schedule with little to no waiting so they get you in and out. We saw another doctor before selecting Dr Poulos. They had us waiting for so long (in the waiting room and in the exam room) and when we did see the doctor we got a hard sell to upgrade out of pocket. I am so glad I checked with my friend on who she had used for her cataract procedure and was happy to get the referral to Dr. Margaret Poulos.
