I came…read moreto the office 3x - first time was to assess if i was a good LASIK candidate, the actual LASIK surgery, and then a follow up the next day. All 3 times, the staff were amazing and helpful. Everything was explained to me in detail and they made sure I was comfortable. I had very bad vision but was at ease with the surgery considering how the folks are at Gordon Schanzlin. The surgery itself was probably only 5 mins, but a lot was done to make sure I was calm and ready for it. When I was a bit nervous during surgery, they helped distract me momentarily so we could continue seamlessly. I was given clear instructions for aftercare and i had zero complications. I even drove myself to my follow up like they said id be able to! When I needed receipts to help with FSA / insurance reimbursements, I called in and was assisted upfront. I never had any issues with the office side of things either! 3 months later, i still have 20/20 vision and 0 issues. I'm very happy with my treatment and would highly recommend Dr Echegoyen and the Gordon Schanzlin Institute.

I was initially given expired eye drops before surgery, which I reported. After surgery, I developed an eye infection, and when I was given a new bottle on 03/30/2026, it was set to expire on 04/04/2026--just days later. When I called, I was told it's "okay" to use expired drops, which is very concerning. For a clinic like NVISION Eye Centers, this level of carelessness with medications is unacceptable. I would not recommend this clinic based on my experience.

I'm 6 months removed from my LASIK procedure and I wanted to update my review to give more of what…read morehappened from the day of the surgery on. Day of the Surgery: The actual procedure was done in a very short period of time. I felt pressure on my eye socket, but nothing else. You just stare at some lights and each eye is done in a matter of 20-30 seconds. Once you're done, they give you protective goggles and send you off with whoever is driving you. You get meds to help you sleep and relax your eyes for the rest of the day. When I woke up from this, I could already see much better. Next Day: I woke up and was astonished at how good my vision was. I have books across the room from my bed and I could read all the titles from where I was laying. Pre-surgery I couldn't even tell there was writing where the titles were. I had my check up at NVision, which I drove myself to and the rest of the day was great. Day 3: This day, my eyes hurt like hell. I took drops a lot and tried to keep my eyes closed a lot. The rest of the week, the pain decreased and went away and my vision continued to improve. I was never more excited when I didn't have to wear the goggles to bed anymore haha Over the next several weeks and months, my eyesight was much crisper than it had ever been when I wore contacts. Colors were more vibrant and I could read street signs much farther away. My eyes needed drops at the beginning and end of days as they were frequently dry and to this day I still have minor halos around lights at night, but damn this eyesight is a dream. If you are eligible for Contura, I would definitely spend the extra money and do it. It made a big difference for me.

I was absolutely petrified to go through with eye surgery, and am generally an extremely anxious…read moreperson as it is. To know that I was considering trusting someone to shoot lasers into my eyeballs was horrifying. For this reason, I've put off LASIK and hadn't seriously considered taking the leap of faith for years. About three years ago, I was told that I could no longer wear contact lenses, or I'd risk blindness due to over a decade of wearing contacts while out surfing. I guess the combination of saltwater, sand granules, and whatever else trapped between the contact and my eye had caused severe scarring and repeated infections. Without contacts, surfing just hasn't been the same. I couldn't see well enough out in the lineup, and felt very depressed remembering what it used to be like when I was able to wear contacts out there. My only option was eye surgery, or a lifetime of squinting and not really enjoying my biggest passion in life, which I've been doing for 24 years. I came across Clearview online, and spent tens of hours, literally, researching the clinic, Dr. Sandy Feldman, reading reviews, etc. I decided to go in for a consultation, and was immediately put at ease by the friendliness, professionalism, and patience of the staff. In terms of patience, I'd especially like to thank Jared, who sat with me for over an hour answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns, never being forceful or trying to get me to sign and schedule. We discussed what type of surgery was best for me, how much it was going to cost (I received an Educator discount which was great,) and what the recovery timeline was. I ended up scheduling surgery for yesterday, 5/15, which at the time was about two weeks out. Last week, amidst another freak out about this, I called Jared and asked if it would be possible to observe a LASIK operation to settle my nerves. Sure enough, he found a patient that was kind enough to oblige and invited me in to watch. The entire operation took less than ten minutes and looked like no big deal! The patient came out smiling and said he felt fine. That really was the final piece that encouraged me to just commit and get this handled. I went in for surgery at 2:30 yesterday. I was a terrible patient, did not take things well, was not calm whatsoever, and repeatedly freaked out. I squeezed the small teddy bear they gave me as if I was a toddler, and squeezed the surgical tech's hand, asking Dr. Feldman if "everything was ok," and "did something go wrong?" She exhibited herculean levels of patience and empathy. I got through it, there was absolutely no pain, and the experience felt like something out of a science fiction movie. It was actually very cool! I went home, took the provided sleeping pills, and passed out. While I woke up intermittently throughout the night, the worst of it was just a feeling like I had sand stuck in my eyes, blurry vision, and a sensation as if I was looking through a steamed up glass. I woke up this morning around 5, (twelve hours of sleep is more than enough,) and found that the gritty sensation had since disappeared, my sight was near perfect, and I felt more or less normal. Unbelievable! I drove myself to my pre-op appointment (without glasses), met with Dr. Amir who told me that I was healing nicely, and was in and out of the office in ten minutes. I challenge others to be as freaked out and apprehensive about going through with eye surgery as I was. I was doing all of the things you shouldn't do: -Googling horror stories about LASIK going wrong -Hyperfixating on the rare low review and looking for one that stated someone had gone blind -Listened to a bunch of Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder and considered if my degree in Jazz Saxophone would be enough to make a living as a blind man All is well! My only regret, as many have stated, is not getting this done sooner. Just do it! You're going to be fine, you'll love the results, it does not hurt, and you can trust Dr. Feldman and her team. Thank you all so much for everything!

For my visit I came in with my eyelid already swollen like a cherry tomato (I'll just let you use your imagination). Dr. Alborzian took one look at me and immediately knew I needed something called a chalazion removal (actually, I dare you to look it up). He provided me with instructions to massage the chalazion to reduce the swelling before he would drain it (disgusting, I know), because at its current state draining would be excruciatingly painful. However, since Thanksgiving was just around the corner, I didn't want to wait and have a cherry tomato for an eye when visiting my family, so I asked Dr. Alborizan to move forward with the procedure. I scheduled a follow up appointment, and he was right, it was incredibly painful - but I was in and out in about 45 minutes and grateful to have my eyelid back. Overall I had a great experience! Everything was very quick and efficient, and reasonably priced for the quality of work you receive! Dr. Alborizan is upfront and provides the best options for you.

I recently visited the Eye Center of La Jolla for cataract surgery. While I was generally satisfied…read morewith the surgical results, the overall experience left much to be desired. On the positive side, the surgeon performed a good job. However, I encountered significant issues during the pre-operative process. The staff member responsible for my IV insertion lacked the necessary proficiency, which resulted in a painful injury to my hand; a different staff member eventually had to step in to complete the procedure. Additionally, I found the administrative process to be quite disorganized and inefficient. Having received excellent care from surgeons back home in the past, I felt the quality of support and administrative coordination here did not quite meet that same standard. I am sharing this feedback in the hope that it will help the center improve their patient care and internal processes.

The thing that ticks me off about this place is that they are riding on Dr. Leung's reputation, and…read moreDr. Leung isn't even working here! He hasn't been for maybe five years!!!! I saw him once and he was wonderful, but I wasn't ready for cataract surgery right then. I went back a year or so later and was told he was on some sort of medical leave. Another year or two later I went in again, and I was told he is not returning. I am NOT impressed with the surgeon they have now, but that's another review. I think it is deceptive and dishonest that they continue to use his name and his reputation. How can they do that?

SCAM ALERT I came…read morehere because I needed glasses and the Cigna website said it was he closest place to my house that was covered. Horrible parking setup. I had to walk for days at 9 AM. The Optometrist lady that evaluated my eyes was nice but the guy that shows you frames wasn't helpful and had a very small selection of frames and only one option that fit my fat head. I asked him a couple times about pricing and he kept saying my insurance would cover it. Got to check out expecting a $15 bill for my copay and boom it's $128. Turns out the frames I got are expensive. Low and behold, my insurance didn't cover $270 worth of frames... Whatever I just need glasses. So I pay up. Then the bills start arriving... OPHTH MEDICAL KM&EVAL COMPRE NEW PT 1/ VST... $215 DETERMINATION REFRACTIVe STATE................................$89.00 I have no idea what any of that means. SO I called and said "Hey I have insurance. I already paid for the frames. Please don't mess with my credit over this." After the first call I got a new bill with an $89 deduction, but saying I still owe $194.54. I let it slide for a month ro so to see if they figured it out with the insurance. They didn't. SO I called again and this time they said they billed my health care not my viison plan. OK... Well I provided the only info I have from Cigna and I definitely have vision coverage. Not sure why this is so complicated. A couple days later I get a credit alert. The office reported me for greater than 30 days late payment. Great. Thanks for that. 2 weeks pass and now I have a new copy of the same bogus bill. They are now threatening to pass the debt to collectors unless I cough up $194. Today's bill says: "FINAL NOTICE: If we do not hear from you within 10 days this account will be turned over to a collection agency.." Nice. Guess I'm now their hostage and have to pay up or my credit gets screwed. I have gotten glasses 3x before at two other places and never had a problem. The situation is ongoing. I never met this Dr Leung dude. At this point this practice is running some kind of billing scam, trying to trick people into paying more than they are supposed too. Seem to be the standard MO for health care providers nowadays. Pretty sad. I don't know why the yelp reviews are so positive but I'm not going to spend the time reading them. I've seen doctors game yelp before so I'm just going to assume this is more of the same.
