ABOVE AND BEYOND!! Dr. Kramar diagnosed the problem with my 80 year old mother's eyes when no one else could. Without a solution, she would have gone blind. Additionally, when I told him the drops he had prescribed to save Mo's eyesight were roughly $500/mo, he actually got on the computer in the exam room and found a compounding pharmacy which can do it for around $7/mo. He saved an elderly woman on a fixed income about $6,000 per year. Oh, and his office runs like a tight ship. We never wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting or exam room and we are typically out of there in under 30 minutes. Great doctor - great person! read more

I came in to get a stye removed and the doctor and his whole team was excellent . I've never felt more relaxed going into a stressful procedure like this . He was very kind and walked me through the whole thing . I wanted to sincerely come on here and thank him so much . He even gave me a 10% discount which he didn't have to since my insurance didn't cover the procedure . Thank you so much Dr. Kramer you are the epitome of what all doctors should aim to be . Kind & caring read more

Doctor Kramer is okay but the front desk is a nightmare, shocking that the doctors don't do something about it. They absolutely never answer the phone, rarely call you back and are never on top of what you ask. Last time I called 12 times in a day (no answer) as I needed urgent help...I ended up driving to the office to talk to the front desk and called their contact department as I got there and witnessed 2 of them just chatting to each other ignoring my call. My wife and I have been patients here for 5 years and I've finally thrown my arms up in the air, not being able to contact anyone for years is infuriating. read more

Dr Kramar recently performed cataract surgery on me. He was amazing, as was the result of the surgery. He patiently explained each step of the procedure as he was doing it, and told me exactly what I would feel, which gave me a peace of mind. I have gone to Dr Kramar for many years and would highly recommend him. read more

Very good, thorough and professional. He's also really busy so you may have to wait for an appointment and also when you have one

Always there for me and my husband. Saved my husbands eyesight with glaucoma drops. Kind doctor always calls right back. Five stars.

Very caring office. Concerned about patient. Doctor Kraemer is very thoughtful of your concerns and pain

Professional with courteous staff. Very knowledgeable and offers referrals if necessary. My husband had cataract surgery in both eyes and he no longer needs glasses. We are very happy and have recommended Dr. Kramer often to our friends and family. read more

Dr. Kramer is an excellent physician with an amazing bedside manner. He takes the time to answer questions and the office staff is great as well. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Kramar at his Encino office for over 3 years now and couldn't be happier with the office, staff and most of all Dr. Kramar, a highly skilled Ophthalmologist. I did extensive online research and chose Dr Kramar over many others because of his impressive credentials and experience, but I've also found him to be extremely warm and caring as are all of the wonderful people at this exceptional facility. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my eye health. read more

Best ophthalmology group especially Dr Kramer ! If something is urgent he is always available including after hours ,

I want to start off by saying I never write reviews. But this office is so frustrating I wanted to let everyone know that this practice could care less about its patients. They are unorganized, disheveled, always run late, and are unresponsive. Little things like trying to order contacts are made nearly impossible through this office. You will have to call 5x and visit 2x to try to get anything accomplished! My advice, go to a professional that cares. Go to an office that runs well and is not totally broken. read more

Dr. Kramar is a first rate ophthalmologist. He was thorough in his first examination of my eyes. Since then, I have had the YAG laser surgery to clear up the blurriness after my cataract surgery and he was quick and reassuring. Most important, I called the office and he called me back the same day and discussed a problem I was having and the solution. I am really impressed with him! read more

I'm writing to praise the work Dr. Mark Kramar did on my mother. She's 100 years old and getting any doctor to perform optical surgery on her was nearly an impossible task. So many refused and Dr. Kramar not only agreed to help her but has immeasurably benefited her quality of life. Where before my mother could barely see and certainly not in color, now the color has returned to her life. She can see the color in flowers in ways she hasn't in years and we are forever indebted in Dr. Kramar's kindness and professionalism. Thank you so much read more

Dr. Kramer is a Sight Saver! We have a Joke that I I'm going to live to 100 Years Old. I can only see in One Eye! I was Very Nervous about the Glaucoma Surgery! It went Amazingly Well. Pressure of only 10 for the last 6 Months! Highly Recommended. read more

Dr. Kramar, THANK YOU!! I've been to many doctors for my eyes and never really felt confident about my diagnosis. Dr Kramar and his team changed that for me! He did a thorough examination, explained everything on what was going on with my eyes and made me feel like I finally have confirmation that I'm Okay! Anyone who goes to Dr Kramar is going to the best!!! read more

D. Kramar is the eye stye removal king. I was reffered by a friend who saw him previously for the same problem with their eye and I am so grateful to have found him! He was extremely knowledgeable, gentle and did an amazing job removing/draining my eye stye. Very professional and clean office. They took excellent care of me and I am happy with the removal process of draining my stye. I had a hard time finding a honest and good doctor so I am just very happy with Dr. Kramar. The whole experience was as good as it could be. He was intelligent, friendly, patient and I just had a good feeling about him. Very grateful for him and his staff for helping me with my eyes and I highly highly highly recommend this ophthalmologist for any eye concerns! read more

Dr Kramar and Elkins are both excellent doctors. I've been seeing both of them for almost two years now for a very difficult eye condition. They have always been thorough, easy to talk to and understanding. Don't feel like I could have received better care elsewhere. Would highly recommend. Staff is also great and flexible. read more

Dr. Mark Kramar is the best Ophthalmologist I know. His gentle way of treating patients is very comforting. I have been seeing Dr. Kramer for several years and each time I see him I get more impressed with him. The BEST!! Thank you Dr. Kramer. read more

Very professional and knowledgeable, takes time to explain in detail about your condition He is a specialist in Glaucoma and does a great job screening read more

Dr. Kramar is an excellent doctor. Great bedside manner and incredible knowledge. You won't find yourself in better hands.

On October 2019 I visited Doctor Kramar's office (West Hills, CA) for an issue with my eyes, Doctor Kramar was very thorough and I was satisfied with his diagnosis! Unfortunately (10 months later) I lost my eye glasses and immediately called Doctor Kramar's office to get the RX prescription to get new glasses! Jennifer, office employee, told me that I needed to pay $55.00 to get the RX prescription! For three days I've been told by office staff that the prescription was going to be email to me and a password was needed to open the email; got the password but no email! I am very frustrated by the way this was handled, Jennifer was not very smart about handling this situation! I am moving on to another doctor, unfortunately the office staff can make a difference. read more

we've been to Dr Kramer at both of his offices...a few times since we moved from NY to retire & come home to LA...He is so thorough...so gentle...always has the best diagnosis...and gets you feeling better instantly! The West Hills office is so much easier...you don't have to pay for parking...less Doctors...smaller office! but truly Dr Kramer has the most gentle touch and is always there to help you out! Cannot say enough about him! Somehow with the hot air and dust in the Valley...my eyes get affected..and he smooths them out right away! Love him! You will too! read more

I want to recommend Dr. Kramar highly. He is professional, caring and shows real interest in your situation and wishes to get to the bottom of things. I have an extremely serious situation and Dr. Kramar saw me every two days, consulted others and now is referring me to UCLA. He handled my glaucoma issue with care and understanding, but there are other things going on and he is willing to help me as much as possible. Kelly at the front desk is very personable and is very willing to help as well. I am very impressed with this office. I would recommend Dr. Kramar and his staff to anyone who wants good medical care. read more

I saw Dr. Kramar for an eye stye--I had never had one and wasn't sure what to do. When I saw him he briefly examined me and said that I just need to do an antibiotic ointment after a warm compression on my stye. It's been two weeks and it has not gone down or changed at all... And I'm uncomfortable with his last piece of advice at the end of my appointment which was to try and pop the stye myself. So now I have to figure out how to afford to pay for another visit to another doctor to start the treatment process again. I'm sure he's a nice guy but he did the bare minimum and nothing from that visit helped my condition. I feel taken advantage of by that doctor. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Kramer for five years. I have only received the best care and his knowledge saved my right eye. He noticed I tore my retina late in the day on a Friday and found a retina specialist that evening to repair my eye. He and his staff are professional, knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate. Don't hesitate. read more

Always very nice and thorough. Dr Kramar has been very helpful for my different eye problems. read more

I found my way to Dr. Kramer by way of asking my insur. co. for opthamologists in my network and area. I researched and read the reviews, so I called for an appt. When the office person asked for the reason for my visit, she asked if I could get there today due to the symptoms I described. I did and, from the moment I walked in, everything flowed like a well-oiled machine and everyone from lab/tech people to the billing person to Dr. Kramer were professional, warm, and kind. Dr. Kramer explained some things about eyes, so I had a reference for after when he explained what was happening with mine. I go back Thursday to see the retina specialist and trust that I am in greatly skilled hands. Dr. Kramer said I'll be fine and, extremely relieved, I believe him. I've already decided that I'll return in 6 months to make sure things are okay. Thank you, Dr. Kramer and staff! The next day: I received an automated reminder about tomorrow's appt. and even that was friendly! This place is so refreshing! read more

Dr. Kramar changed my life!!!! I was almost blind and Dr. Kramar helped me see again. I can't thank him enough. From the very first appointment to the last post op visit everything went smoothly, on time. The way the office is run is unbelievable. I couldn't praise all of them enough. read more

By the time you're in your 70's you've seen a lot of doctors. Rarely are we fortunate to find a real gem. Dr Kramer is not only a very thorough doctor and patient and gentle, but he is the very rare doctor that sincerely cares. He made sure I was in contact with my heart doctor after I had an unusual problem with my eye. He didn't just send me on my way, but followed up to confirm the other office had been in touch! Really? Yes!!! Really!!! The offices are not connected at all in any way! Amazing. I consider myself so very fortunate to have found this office and Dr Kramer!!! read more

When our ophthalmologist retired, he referred us to Dr. Kramer at Ophthalmology of the Valley in Encino. Its always difficult when a doctor that you've been with for years finally retires and it's time to find a new one but my husband and I have been pleased with Dr. Kramer and won't hesitate to recommend him. read more

Dr. Mark Kramer is the BEST eye doctor! I've been seen by Many, and I've never been treated as thoroughly. I an't say enough about him Trust your eyes to the BEST Eye Doctor! Elizabeth Carder read more

Dr Kramer has enabled me to see without glasses after Glaucoma surgery and cartaract surgery in both eyes. He is smart, accessible, doesn't rush you, and answers all of your questions. It doesn't get any better than Dr Kramer... read more

You will not find a better opthalmologist in the San Fernando Valley. My 10 year old daughter went into her optometrist for a routine eyeglass exam, only to find out there was something terribly wrong with her eye. Dr. Kramar got us in within an hour, diagnosed her with a potentially vision threatening virus, and started her course of treatment before the day ended. He contacted her pediatrician and kept him apprised as to what her diagnosis was. He is not only extraordinarily talented as a physician, his bedside manner immediately put my daughter at ease in a very scary situation. read more

He is good if you don't have vision insurance just impossible on price

My 17 year old son had a stye on his lower left eye and a chalazion on his upper right eye. I called that morning and got an appointment for the same afternoon. We waited only 5 minutes before we were seen, and a very qualified, friendly assistant did some initial assessments. We then saw Dr. Kramer, who took the time to show us diagrams of the eye, explain the procedure he wanted to do, and make us feel very comfortable. My son had to have the chalazion excised, and Dr. Kramer was professional, at ease, and had a wonderful demeanor with my son. I found Dr. Kramer after a searcc on Yelp, and I can say that my family will be returning to Dr. Kramer for our ophthamology needs in the future. Very positive experience for my son and me. read more

The first time I went to Dr. Kramar, I had a corneal abrasion which was extremely painful. He tended to me with a great bedside manner and diagnosed the problem immediately. He has been my eye doctor ever since! Highly recommended. read more

Office staff does not have professional attitude. When I called and scheduled my dad's appointment, his insurance was not checked. As a result, he made a trip to the office to find out that he can't be seen unless he pays U&C fees. No one at the front desk apologized for the inconvenience or admitted that they forgot to check it. Instead they were frustrated and rude. Now, I called back to let office manager know about the incident (I believe her name is Susan), and again- no apology, just defensive attitude. Unacceptable for a doctor's office. read more

Dr. Kramar rocks! The office staff is amazing! I ran out of change for the parking meter and the staff dug into their change purses to help me out! This was my first time there, but not my last! Dr. Kramar has a great bedside manner and removed a growth on my eyelid in just a few minutes with no pain and he told me how to take care of it when I got home. He is really terrific! Great office! read more
