My first time seeing Dr. Goldberg. My husband sees him and when I went with him to last apt. I…read morereally liked how he was so thorough with his exam and suggestions. I had not seen an ophthalmologist many years. Only did "check ups" at eye drs. I wanted to make sure my eyes were doing well and whether my vision had changed. Great checkup, first time in years, my eyes stayed the same. Only thing was I have a little dry eye... I can live with that. The staff were all friendly and overall I recommend Dr. Goldberg.....Also, easy parking...

I went to Dr. Goldberg for cataract surgery and Dr. Goldberg recommended I pay for the $3,700…read morepremium care package for a premium Toric IOL lens in my left eye, to have close up vision and to correct an astigmatism. This charge was paid entirely at my own expense, since this service was considered non-medical essential and not covered by medical insurance. The surgery on my left eye did not go well. Dr. Goldberg left big pieces of cataract fragments floating around in my eye. As a result, my left eye developed a secondary infection and I was required to have a Vitrectomy surgery with Dr. Gasperini at South Coast Retina Center, on July 17th 2024, which was a very invasive surgery. Before that procedure was done, I was not able to see with my left eye. At the end of September, I was informed by Torrance Surgery Center, a refund of $1,427.24 would be credited back to me due to the fact that doctor Goldberg did not put a Toric IOL lens in my left eye, instead he inserted a standard PIECE lens, without my knowledge and my consent. This standard PIECE lens does not correct astigmatism! Dr. Goldberg's office never informed me that a standard PIECE lens had been inserted in my left eye rather than the Toric IOL lens until I confronted him with the knowledge I learned from Torrance Surgery Center in October, which is 4 months after my surgery date. The fact that Dr. Goldberg did not inform me of this is highly unprofessional and should be considered as medical fraud. Upon confrontation, Dr. Goldberg only offered me reimbursement of a fraction of the $3,700 I paid for the premium Toric IOL lens conditioned on me signing a release for all claims which I did not accept. I am requesting that Dr. Goldberg reimburse me the $3,700 for the Toric IOL lens I did not receive, until today, I still haven't got any reimbursement at all. I want to warn the other patients such despicable practice can exist in a seemingly reputable ophthalmologist such as Dr.Damien Goldberg.

My name is Kemp Massengill, MD, and my medical background is that of a practicing Eye Surgeon for…read more25 years specializing only in cataract and lens implant surgery. As a senior citizen, I developed cataracts myself and needed to select an Eye Surgeon for my own visual rehabilitation requirements. Having practiced cataract and lens implant surgery for decades in Southern California, I personally know many qualified Eye Surgeons who would operate on my eyes and do a nice job. What I was looking for, however, was not only an Eye Surgeon with outstanding surgical talent - but also an Eye Surgeon who treats patients with genuine caring and respect, as I did for my own cataract and lens implant surgery patients. I found this Eye Surgeon - Patrick Yeh, MD. Doctor Yeh was referred by my wife's Family Doctor at UCLA Health, even though Doctor Yeh was in the Torrance (Cedars Sinai) group, rather than UCLA. Patrick Yeh, MD, is the most conscientious Eye Surgeon I have personally met, and now I have had both cataracts removed - AND I AM DELIGHTED! Doctor Yeh's practice is NOT a Medicare-cataract surgery mill - with such doctors churning through 80-100 patients a day. In my opinion, it is impossible to be truly thorough in these high-volume situations. Doctor Yeh's practice is medium-sized, and it is obvious that he likes it that way - as then he can thoroughly examine each patient, using not only his excellent medical/surgical skills, but using the very latest in ocular test equipment. I believe that in my own cataract and lens implant surgical practice that I was the most thorough surgeon I know (please don't take this as arrogance: patients told me this over and over) - but Doctor Yeh is even more thorough even than I was. This is very impressive to me, and I cannot overstate how very fortunate I am that I chose Doctor Yeh. Also, there is no such thing as cataract and lens implant surgery being a 'simple' procedure. This is marketing 'hype' to lure patients in the door. This is NOT a 'simple' procedure, and serious complications can occur, although it is not lengthy surgery, such as a heart transplant would be. Also again, many patients have co-existing retinal problems, such as macular degeneration, retinal wrinkling, macular edema, branch vein or branch artery occlusions, and other problems, such as glaucoma, which limit the final vision, even with perfectly executed small-incision cataract and lens implant surgery. Patients are sometimes in denial regarding what are called co-morbidities. And retinal problems are difficult to diagnose in advance of cataract surgery - because the view of the retina (the back of the eye) is obscured by the cloudiness of the cataract in front of the retina. It is like looking through a foggy windshield and trying to clearly read distant signs. In fact, denial is a normal human trait. For instance: Why would someone who has had a coronary bypass procedure and a bad heart frequently eat a double cheeseburger with extra bacon and extra cheese? Or 3 doughnuts? The reason can only be denial of the damage from this diet (tasty as it is!). Again, it is a normal human trait to be in denial of risk. And it has been demonstrated over and over - such as in very compelling videotaped risk discussions of patients undergoing very serious, life-threatening, heart surgery - that after the surgery, many patients will be adamant that the risks were never discussed. When shown the videotape of such discussions of risks, they are truly amazed, as they had complete amnesia for ANY discussion of risks. I myself have a little wrinkling of my left retina, and this affects my vision a little bit - again, because of my retinal pathology. The cataract surgery did not cause this! In summary, the cataracts are gone, and the surgery performed by Doctor Yeh was absolutely pristine! Doctor Patrick Yeh truly knows what he is doing, and is a very caring and deeply concerned human being (in a world where caring is all too often a missing ingredient). And if I you wish to discuss any of this with me, please send me an email to kemp.massengill@gmail.com, and be sure to put on the subject line : Regarding Patrick Yeh, MD. AS A CATARACT/LENS IMPLANT SURGEON MYSELF, I GIVE PATRICK YEH, MD, THE VERY HIGHEST 5-STAR RATING POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, DOCTOR YEH!!

But .... he continued to have me come back for recheck after recheck for YEARS and each time made a new diagnosis, did a new procedure or test. He diagnosed macular degeneration and sold me his vitamins. He did umpteen fluorescent dye tests. He laser zapped what he said were minor detachments umpteen times. He had me on drops for unresolved inflammation of my retina for years. When I finally trusted my gut and saw a new retinologist he confirmed I don't have macular degeneration and there was no inflammation. And the drops weren't even meant to treat inflammation. It's been years and I've never needed a dye test or laser zap again so all that testing and treatment was undoubtedly just padding the medicare bill. And his office is a mill - appointments are meaningless and each visit is hours of wait time for a flash bang visit with him. Worse than all that, my husband made an appointment to see Gallemore and without notice was given some new guy. He literally wouldn't hear the history - "I just need to look at your eyes". And he sent him home failing to diagnose ocular stroke which could have killed him. The new Retinologist sent my husband from his office directly to the ER for a stroke workup. Bottom line is I think Gallemore is smart and competent but his penchant for making up problems and doing treatments and tests that are not without risk makes him a danger.

To my surprise, she was not only welcoming, but she was charismatic, very helpful, patient, and very informative.
