The Mak Attack! Dr…read more Jonathan Mak and his team at Camarillo Vision Center make the entire visit feel seamless -- from the eye exam to the eyeglass order. The location is spacious, clean, well-staffed, and clearly designed around patient comfort and efficiency. What really stood out to me was how they leverage advanced technology to improve the quality of care while reducing the time you spend waiting between service transitions. They have one circular, rotating table with three testing devices on it. You sit down, complete all three tests back-to-back, and then move on to the final exam step -- same professional, same great service, and four in-depth analyses completed with impressive efficiency. That level of data gives the doctor what they need to deliver a meaningful, informed eye exam -- one that helps you clearly understand the healthiest future for your vision. They are also well-stocked with eyeglass options and provide strong support throughout the vision care process. I've never experienced eye care that felt this efficient, technologically advanced, and personal all at the same time. Stop looking for something better -- shop here.

But now 20 years later and both Dr Shapiro and his assistant Stacey have been absolutely remarkable and responsive. I'm having Vision issues and thought who's going to provide me with the best referral of who to see. 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. It's been a hell of a journey and I'm not done.

Very disappointed with my experience and the final result. I underwent eyelid surgery or…read moreblepharoplasty at Ventura Eye Institute twice, with the second surgery performed on June 2, 2025. One year after the second surgery Unfortunately, I am still unhappy with the appearance of my eyes. I have excess skin/folding around the inner corners and noticeable fullness/bulging toward the outer corners. I contacted the clinic several times weeks after the surgery to express my concerns and ask what could be done. I was told they could not do anything further and was referred to a plastic surgeon. I was also informed that I would need to pay out of pocket for any corrective surgery. After going through two surgeries, it is extremely disappointing to be left feeling that I need to find--and pay for--another surgeon to address the result. I expected more support and willingness to discuss options when I raised my concerns. I am posting this review so prospective patients can be aware of my experience. I am not satisfied with the surgical result or the way my concerns have been handled afterward. I also want to say that Dr. Ragen was always nice and pleasant to me, and I appreciate that. However, given that I had to undergo the procedure twice, I expected more help and support from him when I continued to have concerns about the results. I was hoping he would work with me to find a solution rather than ultimately being referred elsewhere and told that I would have to pay another out of pocket for correction. Does anyone know what I should do?

Dr Franz Michel As good as it can possibly get! Kindness and…read morecare that exceeded my expectations. I had pterygion in both eyes for at least 30 years, which is a long time to deal with it but I got used to it and to the almost constant pain! I was too terrified of surgery to get them removed. A month ago my ophthalmologist said: "they are growing and you should consider surgery". I made a first appointment with his recommended specialist it was in 7 weeks. Not wanting to wait, a week later we found Dr. Michel on line and called on a Wednesday. First impression: I had a kind person on the phone and I was NEVER put on hold or dismissed!!! And I got a first appointment for the following Wednesday! Only a week! Wow! It is a 3 1/2 hour drive to Oxnard from here but it seemed worth it. The day before I get a call from the super kind and responsive office to confirm and asking: will your visit be in person or on the phone. Well, I didn't even know I had the option! So I emailed the photos of my eyes and Dr Michel called me exactly at the scheduled time and went over the options right away. Clear, detailed and caring and kinder than I had ever been treated by a health professional. It turned out my insurance didn't cover everything, but at this point I was convinced I wouldn't let anyone else take care of my eyes so I agreed to have the procedure done ... IN A WEEK! I was terrified and panicking, the anxiety level was ridiculously high but I managed to get there the next Wednesday and Thursday at 9 am we were at their office and met this incredibly caring , patient and professional crew and finally, Dr Michel in person. I was nervous but their care, as if I was the most important person on Earth, helped tremendously. I was having the procedure first on my left eye, where the pterygion had been the most significant, invasive and painful. Honestly, preoccupation is a waste of energy with this clinic! We went back to the hotel to sleep the rest of the day and night. Amazingly, without any fear or anxiety he repeated the process the next day on my right eye. Right after the procedure we went to a delicious restaurant and when the waitress saw my covered eye she asked what happened and I explained. Her words after she found out she knows of him: "Oh, he's an amazing doctor, my mother had that surgery done by him like 12 years ago!" After great food we drove back home, with Dr. Michel's phone number in hand, just in case... Here's the thing: a doctor that isn't afraid to give his patients his phone number and actually answers or replies to texts at anytime is a doctor who knows his specialty and is passionate about his patients and his work. You don't get that every day.

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.
