    This is the best doctor I have ever been to. The office staff and Dr. MELINDA are so caring and so thorough.

    Hakim was so exacting in her evaluation determining I should be aware of any change to my vision.

    Dr. Kristin Nesburn has been my ophthalmologist for many years. She is excellent in her knowledge…read moreand skill in her field of medicine. My most recent experience is that she performed Cataract Surgery on both of my eyes....the right eye on March 31, 2026 and the left eye on June 2, 2026. First of all, she diagnosed the vision in each eye. In addition to cataracts, I have astigmatism... one more pronounced in one eye than the other. Then she explained the options of various lens implants available to correct astigmatism at the time the cataract would be removed. She provided a clear explanation of what to expect pre-operation and post operation. Dr. Nesburn has a warm friendly personality and she really listens to what you have to say. That coupled with her years of experience and expertise in the field of ophthalmology made me feel very comfortable, confident, and at ease in preparing for the surgery. I was never nervous about it. The surgery was performed at the 90210 Surgery Medical Center in Beverly Hills. It is a beautiful, cheerful medical facility and the staff made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Dr. Nesburn greeted me right before the surgery with a friendly smile and again reviewed the surgery process and what to expect. I was amazed at how quickly the surgery went. It seemed like only a few minutes even though in reality it was a little longer. I never experienced any discomfort during the surgery or after the surgery. In fact, after the surgery I went to breakfast at IHOP. During the weeks following the surgery, I did not have any discomfort during the healing process. Most important is that I have my vision back. Dr. Kristin Nesburn did an excellent job on both eyes. She is the best of the best ophthalmologists and I highly recommend her.

    I cannot say enough about Dr. Nesburn and the whole staff at The American Eye Institute. Because…read moreof my HMO insurance, I had very little choice on who to see. I have glaucoma, and must be seen at a minimum of every six months. How lucky for me that Dr. Nesburn became my ophthalmologist! It must be at least seven years. Most recently, I had to have cataract surgery. Not only did the doctor make me feel completely at ease by explaining everything and especially what to expect and hope for regarding my glaucoma, she answered all my repeated questions with compassion and understanding. She called me in the evening after each surgery to see how I was feeling or if I had any questions. Sometimes we have a laugh together. I recommend Dr. Nesburn whenever I get the opportunity.

    Like many others, I considered LASIK for years but never pulled the trigger to get consultations on…read morethe calendar. My friend had SMILE done by Dr. Lee about 9 months before I began diving seriously into the procedures. I met with 2 other clinics, but ultimately chose CCRS because of the fact that my fiance and I met with Dr. Lee during the consultation itself. He stayed with us for almost an hour to walk me through my options and his recommendations. He appeared to be intelligent, empathic, humorous, and above all, he was straight with me. Other clinics with a dedicated marketing operations team are a lot more sales-y, so I felt more comfortable with Dr. Lee, and all my appointments have been so streamlined and efficient. I was a good candidate for either SMILE or LASIK, but based on my preferences for longevity, I went with LASIK. Paperwork and pre-procedure instructions were sent to me in advance, and overall I think it went smoothly! I wasn't bothered at all by the lasers as I knew what to expect. I'm currently on days 5-6 of recovery and will be seeing Dr. Lee in another follow-up appointment next week. My vision continues to fluctuate a bit but that's a normal part of healing. My fiance is also interested in getting his refractive surgery done by Dr. Lee, and I recommended a family friend to him recently too. CCRS has free parking onsite, located nearby excellent Korean food, and facilities are super clean. Staff are friendly and highly efficient. So far, I'm happy with my results, which I hope will continue to improve.

    I had Lasik here twice, can't remember the exact dates but it was many years ago. My Rx was very…read morehigh at the time, legally blind perhaps, and after the first Lasik surgery I had 20/20 vision after a couple days of rest. However, a couple years later, one of my eye regressed very quickly to a point where I couldn't see clearly driving (pretty much driving reliant on my one good eye). So I decided to return for a 2nd lasik procedure. The first time I didn't feel any pain and thought it was a very fast procedure. The 2nd time, however, there were pain and I was actually squirming trying to hold off the pain. Procedure went well for another couple years. Fast forward to today, the vision in one eye is very bad while the other eye is slowly regressing, no longer 20/20. I know I had bad astigmatism but I was under the assumption that it would at least last many years before it regressed again. My questions are , do you guys offer free post touch-up laser surgery? I would love to get a fix or and adjustment. I work night shift and it's making it very hard to drive at night, especially with the halos and headlights. My 2nd question, do you recommend any other procedures besides Lasik for a permanent fix? I feel like a 3rd lasik procedure would be risky and cause too many side effects.
