When it came time for cataract surgery several years ago, and after seeing the surgeon my husband had gone to, I knew I needed a different practice. A dear friend recommended Dr. Davidson, and I'd heard other good things about him, too. He ended up doing my surgery and it went smoothly with great results. What a feeling of liberation to be free from glasses! Not sure why I didn't leave a review at the time. I will admit that the offices in T.O. near Los Robles are very busy. That might be off-putting for some. The staff does their best to still make it feel like a personal healthcare experience. I saw several providers there and supporting techs, with Dr. Davidson doing the initial consultation and laser surgery. I have my own long-time optometrist who saw me for follow up care at another practice. It was he who confirmed that it was time for a follow up "tune-up" of one of my lens implants. Over the past four years some cloudiness had formed, which isn't unusual. Back to Dr. Davidson to confirm that a Yag laser quick procedure should fix me right up and back to clear vision. The most challenging part of this process was having my eyes dilated for the exam, and then a second day for the actual procedure. It takes a while for my eyes to return to normal. Yesterday I had the Yag zapping, and it was extremely fast and I didn't feel a thing. Even leaving the clinic with heavy sunglasses on I could tell right away that a positive difference had been made. Dr. Davidson did his magic again! Today I am really enjoying my improved vision.

I am all about leaving a great review. However, my complaint is not so much about Dr. Hymas than…read moreit is the follow up of his office. I went to see Dr. Hymas on March 16th after 6 days of extreme pain from a Chalazion. Dr. said 9 times out of 10 hot compresses and a steroid ointment would help it clear up in 7 to 10 days. If not, give us a call and we will surgically remove it for you as we know this can be very painful. 8 days later no improvement. I called the office to get in to have it removed only to be told no appointment until MAY 25TH! Really.....Ill cut it out myself. Appt setter says basically "Deal with it". Are you kidding me......you can't take 15 min out your busy day to remove this very painful infection? You want me to wait 2 - 3 months? I just don't get it! Again - I thought Dr. Hymas himself was helpful at initial visit. Follow up - not so much - he probably doesnt even know - his office does. In short - I found someone who will fit me in in 2 days. Guess i have a new Eye Doctor!

A good friend recommended DLV and so I made an appointment and went to see if they could persuade me to hand over my vision to them, I was very skeptical because my vision was bad but not bad enough to be desperate for lasik. So anything less than an excellent result would have been a problem for me. From intake, to the initial exams, to the amazing closer/administrator Diana, the process was INSANELY human and warm and detailed. I saw so many specialists (surgeon, ophthalmology, optometry, lenses, etc) They made me feel completely in control, spent hours with me, gave me all the options and explanations I needed to feel fully comfortable moving forward. They even pushed forward my secondary screening to the same day so I could schedule the surgery for the soonest possible date. In the end my vision is exactly what was promised if not better. LASIK is not a cure all for 20/20 near and far, it has trade-offs, and Dr Dougherty explained all of these perfectly and exactly what he said would happen came true. I chose monovision to try and reduce the chances of or delay needing reading glasses. The monovision KICKS ASS. I can see my phone close up and perfect 10/20 far vision at the same time! Anyways, highly recommend. Top notch people, top notch process. Thank you DLV!

I'm a 51y old male from Phoenix Arizona and had a Pterygium identified on my right eye for 3 years…read more The growth was irritating and already into the green part, soon to obstruct the vision in that eye. I saw 2 different doctors in Arizona and neither wanted to operate on Pterygiums so they told me to just monitor it until it affected my vision. After intensive research and the use of ChatGPT, I found a Pterygium expert named Dr Franz Michel in California. The reviews and referrals for Dr Michel's Pterygium removal were stellar and had me feeling more than hopeful. I scheduled a telephone appointment and sent Dr photos and close-ups of my eye. We talked for at least 40 minutes about options. Dr Michel was never in a rush and answered my hundreds of questions. Dr Michel is such an expert in this growth he was able to help me understand it all so much better. We decided I was a good candidate for removal of the Pterygium. The office folks were equally great getting me scheduled and help navigate costs and insurance questions. Of course my insurance was a major pain and everyone in the office worked as a team to get the surgery covered. I should note, if my insurance did not cover it, the cash price offered was extremely fair and manageable. My wife and I made the 7 hour drive from Phoenix to Oxnard and found an affordable little motel 5 minutes from the Dr office. (Seaside Inn & Motel (A little divey but was clean, safe and close to the ocean)) The day of the surgery was so calm and pleasant. They got me ready and while the numbing meds kicked-in the doctor spent another 30+ minutes talking about my eye, the surgery and the recovery. The actual surgery was easy. I was awake and felt no pain or discomfort. My feeling was that it went perfectly as planned with no surprises. The recovery was equally easy, just chill and don't rub my eye and use my eye drops. I had soreness, but nothing that wasn't expected and very easy to deal with. We stayed in Oxnard a few more days and drove home. I am now 3 weeks out and my eye is doing great. I have follow-up appointments with Dr Michel via text and phone to track my progress. Even though living far away, it was worth the trip for me. Dr Michel has many patients traveling distance so they dealt with my situation perfectly and were totally accommodating. Dr Franz Michel is the real deal with the best bedside manner. He really is The King of Pterygiums. The women who run his office are also all absolute professionals. I can't thank them all enough. Attaching 2 photos. In one you can see the Pterygium and blood vessels. In the other, the Pterygium is gone and you can see the skin-graft healing perfectly. I hope my long review helps someone make a hard decision on finding a doctor they can trust.

All patients were invited to join their party featuring food, drinks, prizes and gifts, and warm hospitality. A fun time was had by all. Dr. Tim's generosity was so kind.

They also gave welcome bags of eye-care goodies just for attending. The food offerings were anchored by the taco guys (I didn't catch their actual business name). They had a whole spread of condiments to go along with the tacos made to order. There were also sweet treats and pizza. A party feast! This is an eye care practice with heart, and lots of current technology, too. I'm so happy to witness their success and be a recipient of their expertise. Their anniversary milestone is worthy of celebration. Thank you, Dr. Tim, for including us!

Dear TO, NP and Westlake residents, You don't know how lucky…read moreyou are to have Dr. Zabaleta. I used to call TO my home town until employment changes forced me to move to Orange County in 2016. At about the same time, my vision was progressively getting worse until I could not improve it by wearing glasses anymore. My optometrist recommended fitting Scleral contact lenses since I have Keratoconus on my left eye and a cornea transplant on my right eye. I went through 3 fittings during the first year. Then 2 more during the second year. But still the lenses did not seem to fit well, I could not wear them more than 6 hours per day or I would get blood shots in my eyes after I take them off. I was almost ready to give up on Scleral lenses, when my Ophthalmologist recommended that I try Ketchum University Eye Center. Fortunately, I became a patient of Dr. Zabaleta when she did her residency at Ketchum University. Dr. Z took a lot of measurements and pictures using the specialized machines. She explained that since I have a cornea transplant on my right eye, I would need the largest Scleral lenses in order for them not to sit on the transplanted cornea. After just 2 fittings, I am able to see 20/20 and wear the Scleral contacts for as long as I want to because they are so comfortable. I was sad and a bit discouraged when I heard Dr. Z was ending her residency and planning to move on with her career. But 3 years later, I am still using the same prescription and Scleral lenses spec. without any issues. I am so grateful for the fitting that Dr. Z did for me that I decided to do a search; lo and behold, Dr. Z ended up in Thousand Oaks. How I wish I could move back to be her patient again. So if you are doing your research, know that you will be in the capable care of Dr. Zabaleta. From your first appointment you will feel welcomed as part of her family that she takes care with lots of compassion and patience. She will make sure you understand the course of treatment that she is recommending for you and she will do her best to ensure the best outcome for you. Sincerely, H M.
