Our children have myopia and some other issues that need to be monitored regularly by a pediatric ophthalmologist rather than an optometrist. It's been so helpful to us with our busy schedules that we have her office down the street from us. Our kids have been seeing Dr. Simon since they were very young... I'm talking 6 month old preemie young. She is highly skilled at her job and is experienced in getting squirmy, pre-verbal children to cooperate and have fun responding to her directions and questions. It's been amazing to watch her interact with our children over the years during their different stages of development. She remembers everything about them at every visit and encourages them to continue to be good people, respect their eyes, and their glasses at a young age. I've had to call the office for various accommodations and emergencies and her staff has always been on top of things. They are always very friendly, understanding, meticulous, and work fast at helping their busy young patients. The only change that came about during the Covid pandemic of 2020 was the office doesn't accept any insurance plans right now. That's not too surprising. The office used to accept insurance before the pandemic. Hopefully times will improve and her office will accept insurance again sooner than later.

So happy to have him!

In contrast to their Sherman Oaks office and Burbank eye surgery center, this eye care location is…read morea notable disappointment. The environment feels disorganized and the level of professionalism among staff is lacking. Interactions often come across as uncommunicative and at times dismissive. Basic courtesies, such as making eye contact, addressing patients respectfully, and maintaining a welcoming demeanor, are inconsistently demonstrated. Overall, both management oversight and customer service appear to fall short of expectations. That said, the physicians themselves are pleasant and approachable. However, their schedules seem overbooked, and appointments are often brief, with limited time dedicated to each patiient. We waited over two hours for a 3 minute check with a doctor! Beware, parking in the structure is $14.

Another time I had a doctor named Venus who repeatedly asked if I had guns in the home, if I was going to harm myself or others after I told her I was emotional about feeling like I was going to have a heart attack because I have a baby now and it's very important I stay alive. She responded "well do you wanna be alive?", just completely not understanding my fear or my repeated desires that I would prefer to be alive. Her parting words were to give me a hotline number if I felt I was going to harm myself even though I had made it abundantly clear that again, I wanted to live and was scared I was dying. And thirdly I had Dr. Lee who I am convinced is just a robot. He had the compassion and empathy of a toothpick and when I tried to just express a concern, he mansplained seven times in a row that because I don't have those symptoms now he wouldn't prescribe anything. No shit! No acknowledgement of understanding my feelings or medical history, just gave me robotic, repetitive responses.

Any facility that can't even apologize for making a patient (who is in her eighties, and was very…read morecold in the waiting room) wait 45 minutes past her appointment time, nor offer any reason for the delay, is an office I would never recommend. I realize medical facilities tend to be entirely disregarding of other people's time--but that's nonsense. A patient is a customer. And a customer's time is just as valuable as anyone else in the facility--doctors included. We arrived fifteen minutes early, as always. I would never expect a facility to take us in early. But I do expect them to honor the appointment time we were given. And at the VERY least, sincerely apologize for the delay, and have a reason for it. Very poor service. And very frustrating experience. Not to mention the rude tech who finally called us back... no thanks.

During my visit, he reassured me that my retinal surgeon did an excellent job and that my healing is progressing as expected. While there was nothing additional we could do at this time to accelerate the healing process, I left the appointment feeling confident that I received the best care possible. I also feel grateful to now have Dr. Lazar as a trusted resource and a doctor I can turn to in the future when I change health plans. His facility is exceptionally clean, modern, and state-of-the-art, creating a very welcoming environment. The staff was friendly, efficient, and truly wonderful to work with.

Back and forth, during 5-6 calls with her, she was nothing but courteous to me and I want her to be recognized for her extreme helpfulness and attention to detail. Thanks to the good customer service, I feel I am in good hands and hopefully this ulcer is in the clear!

I have been looking into Lasix for quite some time. I went to a different Nvision location 2 years…read moreago & the optometrist at the time wanted medical clearance from my regular ophthalmologist due to my health issues. I went to see my ophthalmologist & he said he wouldn't medically clear me unless the surgeon is Dr. Tooma. I finally get around to getting a consultation & specifically asked for Dr. Tooma. He also had very limited appts since he is the OG in eye procedures! My patient Liason was Jennfier, who is a total sweetheart. Dr. Tooma was awesome in explaining why he recommended EVO ICL over lasix. He was also one of the original surgeons who brought all this technology to California. Now I can see why my ophthalmologist wanted me to specifically see him. I decided to go with his recommendation since he is the expert. Pre-op procedures were very extensive, which I don't mind at all. I opted to purchase the medicated eyedrops through them. The procedure itself was at a different location nearby. Entire staff has been wonderful. I had my procedure done yesterday. I returned to the clinic in the afternoon for a post op check & also came back earlier today. I have not been able to drive due to the healing process, but I should be able to see. I am still sensitive to the light and there's still a lot of inflammation in both eyes. I am gradually able to see better, so it just takes some patience. I am returning for another check up tomorrow. I love how thorough the doctors have been..I feel comfortable knowing I have been in good hands. As long as my vision improves and I don't have to wear contacts or glasses, I can't complain!
