My eye-sight has been expertly restored, and I am publicly thanking Dr. Michael Rizen for his professionalism, expertise, and friendly manner.

Unfortunately, she did not read any reviews before seeing him for the first time. Dr. Gilbert should not remain in the business of seeing patients if he cannot treat them with kindness and compassion.

The tear in the eye ball was almost star shaped and he performed a marathon surgery for 6-7 hours straight starting at midnight to stitch it up. At 7 in the morning, he came out of the surgery and explained us exactly what he did for almost 30 minutes! He is a pro and knows what he is doing. Apart from this, he is a very good ophthalmologist. I have always been to him for all my yearly eye checks. He has all the sophisticated tools for eye examination. He does a thorough check. I would recommend the yearly complete eye check only if your insurance covers it fully as it is very expensive. He also has an optometrist at Medina eye to order the contacts or glasses.

Finally had enough harassment by the Billing Department of the Eye Clinic of Bellevue…read more Even though I had eyelid surgery, scheduled in a few weeks, to correct inadequately done surgery from last year, I walked away from this fine medical clinic. Then the Billing Department started sending DUNNING texts to me at all hours of the day, night and even on weekends. When I called and asked for the bill, the clerk said, "oh it has not been sent out yet". The last straw was getting a DUNNING text in the middle of dinner last week at 7PM stating I owed $20. None of these HUGE amounts of $100 and of $20 dollars had even been billed and even going by the DUNNING texts were over 16 days old. The Eye Clinic of Bellevue has lost a loyal (VERY PROFITABLE $32K for two droopy eyelids) patient due these OUTRAGEOUS billing tactics! I have let all of my friends, associates and clients to avoid this crazy place that practices sending DUNNING for bills not even sent out. I can only imagine what they do if someone is actually late.

I initially went to Dr. Coyle who has since passed away and also Dr. Davis and Dr. Phan. Dr. Phan performed my cataract surgery, and I had an excellent result. She is an awesome doctor and very caring and kind. My husband also sees her, and she has performed surgery on him. The staff has always been professional. When I did not understand one particular bill I spoke with the accountant who patiently listened to me and answered my question. I highly recommend them. Not sure why it shows me living in CA on my posted review. I live in Redmond, WA.

However, it was 11:30 AM and I still had not been seen by the doctor. I had clearly informed the front desk that I needed to leave by 11:30, yet there was no meaningful update or accommodation. If a practice expects patients to strictly honor appointment times and threatens financial penalties for delays or cancellations, there should be the same level of respect for patients' time. Communication about delays and better schedule management would go a long way. I understand that medical offices can run behind occasionally, but a full hour without being seen -- especially after stressing punctuality in reminder messages -- is not acceptable. I hope Overlake EyeCare takes patient time as seriously as it expects patients to take theirs.

Two Weeks Post Op…read more Life-Changing Experience Despite My Fears! Let me start by saying I was extremely terrified about getting LASIK. I have an intense fear of anything near my eyes, and while I understood it was a laser and not a needle, the thought of something going wrong or even going blind (even though I know the risks are minimal) had me so anxious. I have lived with very poor vision my whole life (-8 in one eye and -7 in the other), and I knew that if I didn't act soon, I might not be a candidate for LASIK later. My heavy prescription glasses had been unchanged for years and limited my frame options, so I finally decided to face my fears and go for it. Even that morning, I was still scared out of my mind. I'm so glad I scheduled an early morning appointment because the staff was amazing from the moment I arrived. The doctor was an absolute superstar--he explained every step of the procedure as it was happening, which helped keep me calm and still. They even had someone stand by to offer me a squishy stress ball for my nervous hands! The whole team made me feel supported and reassured. The surgery itself was fast, and I followed all the aftercare instructions to the letter. I went home, took a nap, and diligently used my eye drops (antibiotics, lubricating drops, etc.) every 15 minutes, as directed. For the first four days, I minimized screen time and took it easy. Now, two weeks later, I couldn't be happier with my results. My vision is incredible, and my eyes feel great. I've had minimal dryness (using drops four times a day as recommended) and no infections. Wearing goggles to bed with an airplane neck pillow was a lifesaver for me as a side sleeper during the first week. I also invested in individual-use eye drop vials--they're super convenient, hygienic, and sting-free. A couple of tips: * I used a special heat face mask that didn't put pressure on my eyes but provided heat at night before bed, game-changer for comfort! * I avoided makeup entirely for the first 2 weeks and got a special, eye-safe brand recommended by my main optometrist for when I finally did wear makeup. If I had to nitpick, my biggest complaint was the discomfort from the protective contact lens they place after surgery. It felt like having an eyelash stuck in my eye until it was removed at my follow-up appointment only in the one eye, but the relief was instant once it was out! Also, showering during the first week was a bit tricky since you have to avoid getting water in your eyes. Overall, the experience was life-changing, and I am thrilled with the results. If you're scared, I promise the care and professionalism of this team will help put you at ease. I can't recommend them enough!

The reason that I gave four stars was because I had heard so much about Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE). Over and I heard about not needing readers. So, the first night, I couldn't read my phone, but that's to be expected. But I'm a week in now, and I can't read very well up close, and I still have halos, and blurry vision. I can see very well far away, but I'm getting concerned about the flashes of light I'm seeing in my left eye. The radio personalities who tell you that you'll never need readers, Bob Stelton, Softy Mahler, and Ian Furness, should really be held accountable Everybody tells you it's affordable, but I consider over $15,000 to be quite a lot of money. I had hoped for great results, but I will be in readers the rest of my life. I'm not thrilled about that. Just be aware that great vision is not guaranteed. Also, I should mention that while I agree the procedure is mostly painless, it was pretty uncomfortable for me. There are constant drops, and you see strange patterns and colors, and you're supposed to keep the eye being worked on open, but after a while you can't tell if it's open or closed, and there's pressure around the eye. I didn't want to be too negative, but I'm just saying the things that I wish somebody had told me.

He collaborates to make individualized plans with his patients and checks in on the progress that was made every single visit. He also is fun to talk to and has a great sense a humor. What more could you ask for a doctor?! I moved to Washington a couple of years ago and knew nothing about navigating medical care in a new state. Prior to finding Coho, I called SO many different practices and either did not receive a call back, was overcharged, or was seen by a doctor who did not spend any time getting to know me/didn't care about my overall health. I was frustrated and close to giving up before I found Coho. This practice provided a completely different experience and my opinion is that this is the way health care should be handled by all medial professionals. I would recommend this practice to all of my friends, family, and anyone who is looking for a doctor that actually cares.
