Everyone is super nice and friendly. read more

I'm updating my previous positive 5-star review for Dr. CARLA BARNETT of NEWPORT EYE PHYSICIANS. I've been a long-term patient for over 10 years. She continues to be my favorite doctor I've ever met. She has a heart of gold and truly cares about her patients. She's professional, kind, honest, explains every step of eye exams, patiently answers questions, and goes above-and-beyond in all ways. Today as I ordered glasses at an eye glass store -- 6p/after-hours for Dr Barnett -- she returned my call and clarified the rx! Her expedient response allowed me to use my eyewear benefits before the end of the year! She is a gem! I highly recommend Dr Barnett and Newport Eye Physicians. The entire staff is also 5-star! read more

Dr. Carla Barnett Doctor of Optometry 1441 Avocado Ave. Suite 501 Newport Beach, CA 92660 (949) 640--2010 My first visit with Dr. Barnet completely put me at ease. I was so scared. --I had an infection in my eye and didn't know what to expect. Dr. Barnet took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and treatment, and I immediately felt I was in the right hands. She is truly amazing--combining personal care and warmth with outstanding medical expertise. You can tell she genuinely strives to give each patient the best care possible. It's rare to find a doctor who treats you as both a patient and a person. I highly recommend becoming her patient. My eye is now completely healed thanks to Dr. Barnet! Socorro Mendez read more

I am so impressed with this practice! Had major eye issues and researched reputable local ophthalmologists. Was able to get an appointment the same day I called and was first seen by Dr. Barnett and then by Dr. Kermani. Both were pleasant, efficient and compassionate. I was diagnosed with Meibomitis, which resulted in several chalazions and conjunctivitis. It's the first time I'd ever had these problems so was alarmed by the redness and sores. Dr. Kermani confirmed that my eyes were healthy (beyond the temporary gland issues) and then proceeded to explain my treatment plan. The office visit took less than an hour, yet I never felt rushed. The desk staff workers were friendly as well. I wish all doctor visits were this nice. I highly recommend Newport Eye Physicians! read more

Dr Barnett is phenomenal. She is knowledgeable and tries everything to give you the best possible vision. I have been with her for years and wouldn't change. Thank you soooo much Dr Barnett read more

STAY AWAY FROM DR KERMANI. He messed up my Cataract surgery in January of this year and I have to have it redone by another doctor. Waiting time in his office is about 45 min to an hour. Gloria Ann, his front office person is the worst human being I have ever come across. read more

Dr. Barnett and Dr. Kermani are world class - I can't recommend them enough. I had an eye infection that arose yesterday afternoon and Dr. Barnett responded to my email within 30 mins after hours, scheduled me in for the next morning, and less than 30 mins after my appointment time, I was finished with their office and walking out of the pharmacy with my prescription. Highly recommend these eye doctors and their office team! read more

Long overdue review for NEP. I've been seeing Dr. Carla Barnett for 6 years now. She is the most knowledgeable and caring optometrist!

I came in looking to treat a stubborn stye and came out with contacts. Carla was my physician and she is amazing. I previously had a bad experience at another eye glasses chain that I will not be mentioning. We did the eye exam and I was very nervous about contacts. She fitted me for them and she got them in and out of my eyes like it was nothing. She was able to teach and explain to me how to get the contacts in and out. I left with happy tears in my eyes because I could actually see. I had no idea how bad my vision was. 100% recommend this place. read more

I was on vacation and from nowhere knew I had an eye infection. Not knowing any Ophthalmologist in the area I Googled and many names came up. I looked at physicians in the area and went to Yelp to check them out. I called Newport Eye Physicians and they scheduled me the same day. Dr. Michael Kermani was very professional and a real gentleman. He listened carefully, checked my eyes and explained everything so I understood what I had to do. I will see him again after my eye clears up. I highly recommend him and I am very particular with my doctors and how I am treated. His staff are also wonderful and friendly. Five stars!!! read more

I was in a panic because I had this annoying under eye twitch that came out of nowhere and bothered me all weekend. I needed it resolved ASAP as I had a formal event to attend at the end of the week and it was effecting my ability to sleep. I was convinced I needed Botox to fix it and Dr Kermani's office was so helpful to make me a same day appointment. Dr Kermani was very thorough in running a baseline of tests and spending time with me to explain what my options were. He convinced me to not do the Botox but to try a couple of other options 1) back off the caffeine , 2) use some anti inflammatory eye drops and 3) take potassium supplements. Within 36 hours my twitch was completely gone. He also gave me a prescription of the drops should it return. I especially want to thank his staff as they were very kind and accommodating. I definitely will go back for any other eye concerns and highly recommend the team read more

Wonderful staff and Dr. Kermani is thorough, capable, patient and great at explaining what is going on. Highly recommend.

I had to write this review as wonderful Dr. Kermani is just the greatest eye doctor. He is knowledgable, kind, gentle, honest and conservative in his treatments. I had gone into him terrified of a prior other eye Dr.'s diagnosis and he rested my concerns in the best way possible, through his thoroughness and knowledge and bedside manner, which I am ever so grateful for. Look no further if you are in need of a brilliant eye doctor....he is it! read more

I had a severe cornea abrasion from wearing eyelash extensions following cosmetic surgery. Dr Barnett's professional and friendly staff got me right in to see her. I had lost vision and she even said it was one of the worst cases she had seen. Dr Barnett was so unbelievable! She gave me an exam, worked with me to find a better contact to give me better vision. Over the weekend I sent her an email and she got right back to me. I feel great today, the eye is healing. Thanks to Dr Barnett, my vision is really good now, my eyelids are feeling better and I have made a lot of progress due to following her expertise and protocol. Honesty, I wish I could give her a thousand stars, she's the best and I am so grateful. read more

Dr Barnett has changed my life. I can see again!!! Since moving, I have had to find a new optometrist. After reading all the YELP reviews, I decided to give Dr. Barnett a try. Dr. Barnett is SO caring, so patient, didn't rush me one bit. She fitted me with the perfect pair of contacts. Prior to her, my previous optometrist prescribed me with contacts that actually impaired my ability to drive at night. He just said that's just the way your eyes are and this is the best he can do. And for years, I accepted it. But now, Dr. Barnett has shown me that it wasn't the case at all. It is through her years of education, experience and expertise that she is able to help me see during the day as well as NIGHT again. I highly highly recommend Dr. Barnett if you are looking for a new optometrist or even to get a second opinion about your contacts and vision and the health of your eye. read more

I recommend this place to everyone I know and never thought to write a review. Dr. Barnett is soooo incredible. Kind, gentle, to the point. They are on time and have escalated my experience at the eye Dr for the last 4... maybe 6... years without costing me anything extra. I always feel like they have a different level of knowledge and care in eye health and innovation. If you are looking for a change or new to the area, I would recommend them to you, too. read more

I wanted to comment on my eye surgery that I just completed yesterday. The end of august I had a pterygium removed from my right eye . In January I had a cataract removed from the same eye and February I had a cataract removed from my left eye. My Dr was Dr . Kermani and would highly recommend if you need any surgery on your eyes , you can't find a better Dr. To do it. He has a wonderful presence that assures you as the patient that he knows what he is doing and will set you at ease. He followed up every evening after the surgery to make sure there were no issues. During the surgery ( you are awake) he is very calming and makes you calm . I'm sure that's. Real talent while your working on a persons eye. I don't write reviews for yelp often , but in this case it's warranted. Bob M read more

Dr. Michael Kermani is one of the best eye doctors we consulted. Though it's an hour drive from our place going to his office we've decided to stay under his supervision because you rarely find such genuine care from professionals nowadays. Dr. Kermani has gentle hands & sharp mind to cover all our concerns & even takes his time to make sure that a patient leaves his office without any worries or confusions. Staff are equally warm & helpful especially Glorianne :) They treat us like a family! They accept most types of insurance with proffessional fee that is super friendly. He is now our regular! read more

See all

Overall, a kind, warm practice with up to date technology and great doctors. I had a new onset eye pain, Dr Kermani worked me in and took great care of me. I'm so grateful. Dr Barnett is great. I was frustrated with wearing reading glasses all of the time, terrible with masks and other eye protection I need for work. She came up with some great contact lenses for me and very patient as I worked through getting them in and out of my eyes. Thank you for your excellent care! read more

Been there twice. Each time has been a great experience. Dr. Barnett is a pro; fast and efficient. The charming ladies of the office staff are friendly and professional. Overall A+ read more

I am a pilot that has had lasik eye surgery 3 times now and can see far very well still, however, at 52 now, I have a hell of a time reading close up which means I have to wear reading glasses to fly or even see a menu at a restaurant... For so many years I have been told that there is no solution to my problem and it "just comes with age... " Well, thanks to doctor Carla Bartnett, I can see far away, fly my airplane, read menus, see my phone withoit gigantic fonts, and more! I wish my primary care doctors were as caring and awesome as Dr. Barnett!! Dr. Barnett is my HERO!!! You will have to go see Dr. Barnett to see (no pun intended..) how she cured my challenge, however, you won't be disappointed - the entire office is awesome!!! Thanks again Dr. Burnett!!!! read more

So thankful for Dr Carla who always supports us with contacts and glasses. She is literally the best. So kind and helpful and genuine Thank you to all the staff here, we are grateful for you. Thank you Dr Kermani, Dr Carla, GloryAnne, et al. read more

Dr. Karmani and Dr. Barnett are both such wonderful doctors who truly care about their patients. I had an absolute scare with my retina possibly detaching a couple days ago and both doctors answered right away and were so on top of it. Every time I needed to be in touch with my doctor they would call me back right away. Both doctors are so personable and easy to talk to. They really take the time to check your eyes and to do a thorough job. Both are very professional and wonderful to work with. I love going to this doctors office because I know I'm in wonderful hands read more

Dr. Kermani by far is The best Physician we have ever seen. Dr. Kermani is very kind, caring and patient. He explains everything and goes over all symptoms with the solution without rushing. He spends as much as time he needs to diagnose your problem and responds to all your questions. His staff are nice and his office is very friendly. read more

I wish that all my doctors were as great as Dr. Barnett. She listens to what you have to say and comes up with solutions that best work for you. She is always patient and I never feel rushed during the visit with her. I had been to other eye doctors regarding my vision issues and she is clearly the BEST. She is kind and caring and I would highly recommend her. I also found out several of my friends go to her and we discussed how much we love her. read more

Just had cataract surgery in both eyes. Complete success!!! I now have 20/20 vision at 67 Dr Kermanie is the best. Very professional and extremely comforting. I never worried about the procedure due to his kind demeanor. All the staff at the operating center were amazing as well. Highly recommend. Susan read more

Such an amazing experience! Dr Kermani was so warm and pleasant and took all the time to answer every question I had. Very happy with this office and cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Highly highly recommend Dr. Kermani. My mom has been having dry eyes for some time, and we went to 3 different eye physicians with no relief. Every other place we went to just basically told us to try some eye drops and that they will see us back in a few weeks.... and if it doesn't work that we have to do surgery to get eye plugs. Then we found Dr. Kermani at Newport eye physicians. What a difference!! The receptionist is so sweet and personable and they have water/coffee and candy in the waiting area! Dr. Kermani is like the sweetest doctor ever. He is so patient and caring. He was able to give us some good eye drop recommendations with samples. He also gave her good information about how to keep her eyes from drying out in the future. Not only that, he also explained what was causing it. he recommended different vitamins she could take and other preventative measures. it has been about 2 weeks now since we saw him last and we can finally say that my mom is doing a whole lot better! no more eye tearing!! We are so glad we found this place and Dr. Kermani! thank you so much! read more

Dr Carla Barnett is AMAZING. i will Never go to an optometrist again. She's an ophthalmologist and her exam is super thorough. She is super knowledge about all the options and products to meet patients needs. I use to go to lense crafters and never did they get my perceptions Right. Finally i can see clearly and i love the stuff I'm using. She also give eye heath tips. And she does except some insurance. The product was also fairly priced. 5 stars all Around!!! read more

Dr. Kermani is a gem. Great personality, very caring and attentive to the patient, outstanding communicational skills and as humble as they come. My parents recommended him. I'm glad I found him. Some doctors you keep for life. He's one of them. read more

Dr Kermani is honest, professional and does not over-treat - Love Dr Kermani. Highly recommend, Stephanie

I can't say enough about this wonderful doctor and his team! Our dad can see again thanks to this wonderful man. Dr Kermani spends time to explain things very clearly and has the best bedside manner. We took our parents to Dr. Kermani's office and we were promptly greeted and checked right in after the standard new patient paperwork. The office staff was highly professional, efficient and kind. The staff calls you back when they promise and goes out of their way to help make things easy. Dr Kermani took his time with our parents and made sure to really ensure he gave a thorough eye exam. It turned out that our father indeed had cataracts. There was no question in our minds who we should have do his surgery. Dr Kermani again made our Dad feel at ease about something that could be very scary. Two successful surgeries later and our Dad can see! The surgery center was also excellent. The follow up visits and even personal phone calls from the doctor show he REALLY cares about his patients. Everyone, and I do mean everyone in the office made something scary and stressful into something that was a great experience. I really wish this man could be filmed to show how other doctors should act and run a business. He is officially my Dad's absolute favorite person! This doctor has a gift and he doesn't come with any ego, he is humble, kind and patient. Everything you'd want in your physician. read more

My experience with Dr. Kermani and Dr. Barnett is unparalleled. It's amazing having two doctors in one office who provide amazing eye care! Dr. Kermani is an incredibly knowledgeable ophthalmologist, and a fantastic person who clearly cares about his patients. He makes sure every patient gets his full, undivided attention, and makes going to the doctor an enjoyable experience. He's helped make my eyes healthy, and gave me tips to keep them healthy on a daily basis. He not only gives exceptional eye care but also is one of the best people to go to for Botox in Newport Beach! He makes you look so natural and makes the entire experience painless. Dr. Barnett changed my life with contact lenses!! My eyes were so unhappy before I met her, and she helped make my eyes healthy and get me in the most amazing contact lenses. She goes above and beyond expectations to make sure you are in the best fit lens for your eye. I've never met anyone more knowledgable about contacts, and feel so lucky to have found her! read more

I don't know how I haven't written a review yet! I have been seeing Dr. Carla Barnett for pretty much my entire life (I've had glasses and contacts for about 20 years now!). Dr. Barnett is nothing short of spectacular. I have never waited longer than 5 minutes for an appointment. Yet somehow, she really takes her time with her patients! I never feel rushed and I always leave feeling like I learned something new about eyes, and that I got the absolute best treatment from an experienced professional. She is very loyal to her patients, and will work with you to get the best price for your lenses. She never up-sells products, and only recommends ones that are the best for your individual medical needs. She is available by email and always promptly returns phone calls. I honestly can't recommend Dr. Barnett enough. Her office staff is also great! Thank you Dr. Barnett for taking care of my eyes! :) read more

I had waited for quite some time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kermani and if only I had known this experience would become a nightmare. Dr. Kermani is a very nice person, made me feel completely comfortable and assured me that medically, my eyes were fine. He did mention that I had cataracts, which I've known for several years, but didn't say surgery was warranted at this time. My prescription definitely had changed and his exact words were: "I will make sure you have the perfect prescription ". I also decided to purchase a new pair of glasses for my new prescription. After waiting two weeks, I picked up the glasses and everything was blurry. The front desk person, Gloria, told me to give it some time, perhaps two weeks to adjust to the new prescription. After being completely miserable and unable to see properly, I called the office and Dr. Barnett, the optometrist, offered to recheck the prescription. She informed me the prescription given by Dr. Kermani was too strong and she gave me a new prescription. As an apology, they offered to redo the lenses and upgrade to the best Varilux progressive lens, which I appreciated. Waited another two weeks, picked up the new glasses, and still could not see properly, blurry vision, halos, and my right eye is tearing and bloodshot. In addition, I have terrible headaches. After a week wearing them, I put on my old glasses for just a few minutes. I know that prescription was not good but didn't know what else to do at this point. I asked Dr. Barnett for her suggestion and she said to give it another ten days and try not to think about it too much. If that didn't work, she offered to put my old lenses in the new frame since I was able to see a little better within them, even though it was obviously not the correct prescription!! The next day, I decided to finally get a second opinion and went back to the optometrist's office I had been seeing for years. They are all superb and the only reason I switched was because the doctor retired and the practice was sold. I had the most comprehensive exam and was told the cause of my vision problems were cataracts; the right eye definitely needed surgery. The changes in the prescription was totally unnecessary, and would not have made my vision better, and finally after much suffering, numerous trips back and forth to Dr. Kermani's office, I finally have an explanation. In addition to this horrible experience, I spent $820.00; $200 for new glasses and $440 for lenses. This was most of my stimulus check! If I had been diagnosed properly, I would have that money in my checking account. I called Dr. Kermani's office in tears on Friday to inform Dr. Barnett of the diagnosis but apparently, was told she had left for the day. So don't just rely on Yelp reviews when choosing a new dr. Do additional research, check which hospital the dr. has staff privileges, compare other drs., CV, years in practice, and ask for recommendations from other physicians that treat you! Also, get recommendations from your church or synagogue; another great resource. I will do just that and now will find the best surgeon to take care of my cataract; and a Hoag Hospital ophthalmologist! read more

Awesome office. They have coffee and other drinks, tons of magazines, and a flat screen TV in the waiting room to keep you occupied if you arrive early. The woman at the front desk is sweet as can be, and Dr. Kermani makes you feel right at home. He's very personable, and the way he constantly affirms you after each test he runs on your eyes makes you feel like being able to sit still for thirty seconds makes you some sort of rockstar. It's awesome. read more

I found Dr Kermani to be a true professional who treated me with genuine care, compassion and concern. After a thorough exam he diagnosed an issue that's been driving me crazy for years but I just lived with (until now!). If you need your eye's checked for any reason he's your man! read more
