My recovery, at this 4 month mark, has been great! I have NO REGRETS having my surgery done, only gratitude! My vision is better and I am now comfortable looking people in the eyes! My opthomologist in TX is highly impressed by Dr. Michel's work. I was informed of Dr. Michel's ptergium surgery ability 12 years ago by my optometrist, Dr. Griffith, in the Target optical dept. in Newbury Park, CA. He initially found my ptergium growth. He gave me Dr. Michel's card and I held on to it all this time. I'm sure glad I did! Dr. Michel is caring, concerned and a clear communicator. His right-arm tech, Naomi, is fantastic with communication and follow through on call backs and providing valuable information pre AND post op! My surgery experience could not have been better. I am eternally thankful on soooo many levels!

I would recommend him without reservation.

He was polite, to the point kind of Doctor. He was not warm in nature rather a matter of fact kind of Doctor. He is a specialist and a good one. He tells you what he thinks and gives you options and explains the options to you so you can choose for yourself. He is a good Doctor. His office is very clean. They keep cleaning everything you put your head up to as soon as the test is over with. They have an optical center and many other offices through out Southern California. They have glasses and prescription sunglasses. They even sell Gucci sunglasses. They have a wonderful asset at their office and her name is Lisa! My gosh she is warm hearted and so so funny. Quick witted as well and a smile so wide. She explains everything and is so very knowledgeable. If you go in nervous you come out laughing and happy and relaxed. It is a rare gift for someone that has a personality like Lisa. I had a great experience!

Typical optometry visit until it came time to fit contacts. Because I have bad astigmatism, the…read moredoctor basically told me I was a 'lost hope' for properly fitting contacts. They only offered Acuvue, which didn't fit my eyes well, and the pair I left with was extremely uncomfortable. I never went back. I later went to Beverly Hills Vision Group (Jackson Lau) and got contacts that fit perfectly. Wasted $250--recommend going somewhere else.

I needed of a specific brand and type of contact lenses that my other optician (and Target) no…read morelonger carried. I called several practioners in my area, and All About Eyes (AAE) could procure the contacts i needed, and would take my kind of insurance. I just needed my newly written prescription filled, but Lu at AAE (who was very helpful) insisted I have an exam through AAE to get the contacts. Reluctantly, i agreed and went through their exam process (very thorough) and waited for my insurance to approve and fund it. I was finally able to get my contacts a month later through AAE. The first contacts they ordered were clear, even though I had requested for them to be tinted blue for ease of locating them in clear liquid, or if lost in a sink or on the floor. It took another week to get the correct contacts after returning the first pair, but I am very happy with them now. However, i felt it was poor customer service when one of the staff at the front desk looked away from me as they began talking to me when I was returning the first pair of contacts. I wasn't sure if she was talking to me, or to someone on the phone through an earpiece. And, when I returned to pick up the correct contacts a few days before Christmas, 3 people were behind the front desk talking to each other. I said hello, let them know my name, and asked about my contacts. Without a word, one of them looked back for the contacts behind her, and put them on the counter in front of me. There was no "Thank you" (for your patience?), or sorry for the inconvenience, or Happy Holidays. They just went back to talking to each other. Bewildered, I turned to leave and wished them Happy Holidays, and at least someone replied "Thank you". I hope the $1,250 AAE got from my insurance company for filling a contact prescription went to good use. Maybe some of it can be used to update employee customer service skills in 2026? For the correct contacts I give a 5. For having to go through the entire exam process again to get contacts, I give a 4, For customer service I give a 3. I hope this review helps everyone. "Happy Holidays" and "Merry Christmas" to those who celebrate it.

But now 20 years later and both Dr Shapiro and his assistant Stacey have been absolutely remarkable and responsive.

Provided with the name of top ophthalmologist Dr Lee Wan in Oxnard who is absolutely amazing and really listen to my concern even though he initially thought everything looked good. Stacy called from Dr Shapiro's office a few different times saying they were concerned and just wanted to follow up that I had pursued additional appointments and was drilling down on my vision issues. The concern was absolutely amazing since I haven't been there in 20 plus years. I've never experienced anything like it. Without revealing too much Medical I would not be as far along seeing specialist after specialist, down to UCLA Stein Eye Institute Etc without their recommendations and guidance as I've seen so many specialists here in Ventura Thank you Stacey and Dr Shapiro for stressing the importance of Immediate Care and drilling down to get to the root cause.
