I didn't want to make the drive to my eye doctor in OC so I contacted this office and they were able to squeeze me in the same day. Thank you so much!! The staff was friendly, patient and professional. I have PPO insurance so I was able to go with whomever so that helped. In keeping with the friendly and approachable theme - Doctor Florister was also very friendly, patient and professional. And quite funny. She was a bit alarmed that I had rinsed off the top layer of my eye but reassured me that the eye will heal itself in a day or two if I stopped rinsing. The moral of the story I learned is that if something gets caught in your eyes- just rinse continuously for the first 15 minutes and then stop - whatever is in there would come out by then if not then no amount of continued rinsing would help. Don't be an idiot like me and rinse every two hours ! ‍‍ My eyes are back to normal now with the use of eye ointment and gel drops. No prescription medication needed and not antibiotics because she didn't think it was infected. Overall I was very happy with my experience with Eye Care Riviera and highly recommend it! Cheers!

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.

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.
