We were on the assumption that anesthesia was going to be general and found out during the surgery when my wife felt (pain) the needles on her eye. 2. She was told about staying looking down certain period for around 4 days after the surgery while the day after was told it could be weeks. 3. On the visit the day after the surgery when she got the patch removed she almost started crying because she could not see, then was told that was normal and it could take weeks, she should have been warned. 4. When seeing a different doctor the day after the surgery, little was explain other than "it looks normal", when my wife tried to ask about her concerns he seemed like on a rush to leave and left the assistant to answer. 5. She got paper listing two prescriptions for before and two after, we were told that not need to use the ointment and just use the two prescribed for before and one prescribed for after, I questioned "but the ointment is an antibiotic" and the assistant just responded that it was just if want it use at night to feel better. 6. I did my own search and found out that one prescription for before is an antibiotic same as the ointment, I assume that is the reason why the ointment is not needed. Throughout my research I found the vision issues for after the surgery so I was able to calm my wife, although I am not a doctor. In addition, I found there are two types of gas a fast acting and a long acting which I do not know what was used. I just hope the end result is as expected and faster than the unknown.

    I had an excellent experience with Alessandro Castellarin at California Retina Consultants. From…read morethe moment I walked in, the entire team was professional, kind, and attentive. The supporting staff made the check-in and pre-exam process smooth and comfortable, and they were all very friendly and efficient. Dr. Castellarin was incredibly thorough and took the time to clearly explain my diagnosis and treatment options in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and he made sure all of my questions were answered. His calm, reassuring approach made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. The procedure itself was handled with great care and precision, and the staff continued to check in and ensure I was comfortable throughout the visit. It's clear that everyone in the office works together as a team and truly prioritizes patient care. I'm very grateful for the level of expertise, professionalism, and compassion I received from both Dr. Castellarin and his team, and I would highly recommend California Retina Consultants to anyone in need of retina care.

They expect the patients to be respectful of their time, but they do not respect patients in return. The actual time with the doctor is super short, and for that they charge my insurance thousands of dollars each month!!!

    I read reviews all over the web before going to this doctor. As always there are many reviews with…read moresome saying she is good an some were saying she is bad. Here is my experience. I arrived at the office 15 minutes before my appointment and was asked to fill out new patient information packet that asked about my information, my family history and my overall health. Once I finished that, I was taken to the back with in few minutes The exam started by one of her assistant checking my vision in each of my eye, checking the eye blood pressure and dilating my eye. I was also asked if I had any previous issue with my eyes or any complaints. Next I was taken to another room where photo of my eye was taken and then lastly to another machine that appeared to do same thing. At all times all of the employees were very professional and appeared to be knowledgeable. Lastly i was taken to the exam room where i saw Dr. Nika Bagheri, she walked in to the room and introduced herself. She took about 10-15 minutes to do the exam, speaking out loud on what she was saying to a person behind her that was typing everything that she was saying. At the end of the exam, she explained to me exactly what she seen in my eyes and advised me to come in 1 year in order to monitor possible problem with my eye. I will absolutely go back to her and I will also recommend her to my friends and family.

My recovery, at this 4 month mark, has been great! I have NO REGRETS having my surgery done, only gratitude! My vision is better and I am now comfortable looking people in the eyes! My opthomologist in TX is highly impressed by Dr. Michel's work. I was informed of Dr. Michel's ptergium surgery ability 12 years ago by my optometrist, Dr. Griffith, in the Target optical dept. in Newbury Park, CA. He initially found my ptergium growth. He gave me Dr. Michel's card and I held on to it all this time. I'm sure glad I did! Dr. Michel is caring, concerned and a clear communicator. His right-arm tech, Naomi, is fantastic with communication and follow through on call backs and providing valuable information pre AND post op! My surgery experience could not have been better. I am eternally thankful on soooo many levels!

It has been about 2 1/2 years since he removed my pterygia with a minimum of fuss, and the cornea of each eye still looks clear. His office is easy to find and the staff are wonderful. I would recommend him without reservation.
