I would like to give a shout out to Dr. Kline and his staff for always taking care of our eyes. Recently we had a need to get my husband in sooner for cataract surgery. Sally front office was kind and caring and professional and she made it happen. So grateful for her kindness. Sandy P surgery coordinator very professional and caring. He is forward to better vision soon. Great Doctor!!! Office and staff!!! read more

Dr Kline is the best! He is very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He takes the time to listen and answer all my questions during my appointments. I would highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Kline is a ROCK STAR. He is good at what he does and is highly regarded in his field. He shows compassion to his patients, listening to their needs and concerns. On top of that, he checks in with them to see how they are feeling and where their headspace is. For me, on top of the given skills and experience, a doctor who makes time to connect with patients stands out in my book. I have dealt with poor eyesight my entire life, so there is essentially no room to mess with. Dr. Kline has shown me throughout the process he knows what he is doing and is also genuinely concern about my wellbeing. He has a kind streak and is really quite a funny guy. My husband and I had a few good laughs with him in the midst of all the medical assessments. For us, that is important as it helps put us at ease. His medical staff and admin support are professional. I am really glad to have found Dr. Kline and is able to be receiving medical attention from him. read more

Dr.Kline and all the staff were amazing. Especially Sally Melendez she made sure my mom felt comfortable and cared for.As if she was taking care of her own family. I highly recommend Dr.Kline and his practice for any ophthalmology procedure!He is the best ophthalmology surgeon in the O.C. read more

I never say anyone is the best but you will never find anyone better than Dr. Daniel Kline. His demeanor and surgical skill are second to none. my experiences at his office and surgical center were fantastic. His staff were fantastic. Post cataract surgery left me with better vision than ever and the results compared to pre-surgery make me feel twenty years younger. It's strange to say it because this was surgery but it was one of the best experiences in my life. Thank you Dr. Kline. Dr. Bill Berke read more

Previously left a one star review then deleted it, and after giving this office a second chance. I'm sorry to give another one star review. You can't get an appointment here unless you call at minimum a month in advance. I mentioned I would be a potential new patient, for a pretty significant stye/Chalazion on my right eyelid. I was told that I couldn't get an appointment until mid August. When I asked if there was any availability for patients with on-going significant issues, again I was told a month. I expressed how disappointed I was, and the phone operator didn't really show much sympathy. The whole experience just rubbed me the wrong way. This office seemingly shows zero regard for their patients or the reason they need an appointment scheduled. read more

A wonderful life changing experience from the very first to last appointment! Dr. Kline was recommended by a good friend, praised for his excellent care and phenomenal results from patients in many circles. My cataract surgery in both eye's went so smoothly within a two week period that I could hardly believe it. All his office staff and those @ Newport Surgery Center made it a walk in the park, almost didn't need Xanax on the 2nd eye ;) Dr. Kline is a perfectionist. He promised to restore my sight to 20/20.... didn't disappoint! It's a miracle. There's no better gift than the gift of sight. Dr. Kline gets from me. Forever Grateful, Katherine White read more

They took care of the situation by moving the employee to not interact with customers often and this employee eventually left so I am adding the one star back. Skye & Dr. Hoang are still awesome. I met Charlie yesterday and she's awesome too! I didn't wait long. They were fast. read more

I received care from Dr. Kline. Very thorough and professional. Spent time with me explaining my eye condition and how we could begin to solve it. Was much more informative than the opthamologist that I had been seeing for many years. The additional information was very important to me and helped me understand my situation clearly. Pun intended. I will return. read more

Dr Kline saw me on short notice and was able to do a complete eye exam.,Him and his team were very thorough easy to understand and took very good care of me when I needed this the most. read more

I came to Dr. Kline, as a 2nd opinion, because i was told I have Anatomical Narrow Angles by one other Opthamologist. I went to two more Opthamologists who both told me that Dr. Kline was incorrect, and I do have that condition in which I needed an LPI procedure immediately. So, in the end, three Opthamologists told me that I indeed have Anatomical Narrow Angles, while Dr. Kline told me the complete opposite and was told not to worry about that. I think I trust the three other Board Certified Opthamologists who gave me this unfortunate diagnosis. I certainly do not recommend Dr. Kline. I ended up having the LPI procedure in the end by someone I trusted.. read more

I have been seeing Dr Kline for ten years and I can't say enough good things about him and his caring staff. I began seeing him with a diagnosis of Glaucoma. Dr Kline has provided me with the care needed for this condition and I have been free of problems. The office staff is the best. From reception, ( I must give kudos to Sally!) to appointments, ajust friendly checking in and remembering not just your name but family details including pets! I have had cataract surgery and new lens for glasses over the years and I will stay with Dr Kline and highly recommend him. read more

Assembly line. Too many patients and feels like you're on a conveyor belt the time you come into the door to the time you get out. Doesnt explain much because time is $$$. Could do better if MD has bedside manner. MD went to an Ivy League school so he's super smart but not personable! Again, time is money!! read more

As the last patient on the schedule at Dr. Kline's office last night, I couldn't help but reflect on the consistent excellence of his care I have appreciated over so many years. Like many of us who are a bit older, I arrived early, indulged in too many of the pep-o-mint Life Savers from the front counter, and chatted with his pleasant front office receptionist, who, despite a long day, remained as kind and welcoming as ever. When I left, feeling great as always, loving my new glasses, after acing the bottom line on the eye chart with the help of his assistants, Ann and Haley, I realized it was time to express my appreciation for the outstanding care I've consistently received. I have known Dr. Dan Kline since he first opened his practice in Irvine, California. As a retired plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience in Irvine, I had the opportunity to work closely with Dr. Kline on many occasions when my practice was active. His collaboration with my patients, especially in the areas of pre-and post-operative care for eyelid surgeries, was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Kline's expertise spans diagnosing and managing visual acuity, routine ophthalmologic conditions, and complex surgical and post-operative care. His meticulous approach and ability to clearly communicate complex information reflect his extraordinary professionalism. Beyond his clinical skills, Dr. Kline is a compassionate physician who listens carefully to his patients, ensuring their concerns are fully addressed. His practice exemplifies the ideal in modern medicine: a blend of technical expertise, innovative thinking, and genuine patient care. His excellent bedside manner and sense of humor further enhance the quality of his care. In addition to the care he gave my patients, I have several close personal friends who have entrusted Dr. Kline with their cataract surgeries. Without exception, they have all reported outstanding results. Cataract surgery is a delicate procedure that requires technical precision and a deep understanding of each patient's unique needs. On a personal level, I have been fortunate to be a patient under Dr. Kline's care, receiving exceptional treatment for everything from my prescription glasses to the more nuanced care required for my dry eye condition. Dr. Kline has been instrumental in managing my condition, utilizing his deep understanding of ophthalmology and the underlying systemic issues to provide me with the best possible care. His ability to tailor treatment plans to my specific needs, interfacing with Doheny Eye Center and UCI ophthalmologists while keeping abreast of the latest advancements in the field, has significantly improved my quality of life. If you're looking for an ophthalmologist who combines unparalleled skill with a genuine commitment to his patients, I cannot recommend Dr. Kline highly enough. He is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking top-tier eye care. You'll leave his office and see the world clearer, with a smile and maybe a few extra mint Life Savers sweetening your day. Donald Altman, M.D. read more

Dr. Kline is a great ophthalmologist. He is very caring, expert and thorough. I had a bad experience with a botched cataract surgery at another practice and went to him looking for help. Dr. Kline diagnosed the problem and for the first time I understood what was wrong. He then referred me to a great specialist who repaired my eye. I have been seeing Dr. Kline ever since. He inserted punctal plugs in my eyes and has greatly alleviated my discomfort from dry eyes. I'm just sorry I didn't know to go to him for my cataract surgery in the first place. He's now my lifelong ophthalmologist. read more

Today I had an appointment with Dr. Kline for an eye exam and I am very happy with his office. His staff were all friendly and welcoming; Ari and Laura made my tests enjoyable and Dr. Kline answered all my questions and was very professional. They sanitized all the equipment before use, and have a wide variety of glasses available. All in all, a positive experience! read more

I just had my last postop cataract check up with Dr. Kline and actually felt sad saying farewell as he returned my eye care over to my regular opthamologist. I met Dr. Kline 5 yrs ago when he started his care of my husband who still sees Dr. Kline as my husband has a more complicated eye issue. I was so impressed with him then that I decided when the time came he would be the one to take care of my cataracts. Dr. Kline and his office staff have been consistently professional, knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Kline always has a smile on his face and patiently explains my plan of care. I was most impressed as well with NB Surgery Center, previously when my husband was treated and my two recent procedures. Very efficient and helpful nursing staff in an immaculate, lovely setting. I would heartily recommend Dr. Kline to others !! read more

Doctor Kline is a wonderful ophthalmologist. He is honest, thorough, and gets straight to the point when discussing eye related issues. My mother has been seeing him for years (reasons unknown), and kvells over how wonderful he is, so I decided to make an appointment to see him. I had to make an appointment months in advance to see him, and it was well worth the wait. His service staff from front desk to his technicians are very friendly and kind. They are also great at following up with you in a timely fashion (if you have questions or concerns.) When you're in doctor Kline's exam room, he makes you feel at ease and informs you of everything that he's doing. He is also very qualified and will take great care of you. (C'mon, he went to Harvard for crying out loud) read more

Doctor Daniel C. Kline, M.D is an excellent doctor, unfortunately, his staff (Angelica) has the worse attitude on the phone. (1/25/2024)

I've been going to Dr. Kline for a while and it's always a pleasant experience every time. He did a very good job on my husband's eye surgery and advised not to trust anyone but Dr. Kline. I just had my eye surgery done with Dr. Kline a week ago and so glad I did! The office has a great ambience and from the receptionist, Jocelyn to Sandy and Haley has been such friendly and helpful experience. The staff is by far best place with quality people and best services! If I can give more than 5 stars I would! read more

I recently left negative feedback on Dr. Kline. I was having problems with both my eyes. I called up to make an appointment to see Dr Kline and the receptionist said she would check with Dr. Kline. She came back and said Dr. Kline was too busy to see me and would I see another doctor in their office. I said no, I was not interested in another doctor. As it turned out Dr. Kline never got the message. He recently called to apologize to me and told me if ever I have any problems in the future to ask to speak to him personally. Thats what I wanted to hear. Please disregard my previous review. Dr. Kline is an amazing doctor. read more

Very comprehensive eye exam. Staff is terrific. Dr. Kline is thorough and exhibits wonderful patient care. The best!

I've met the three doctors in this office and received excellent care from each. Wonderful staff all around. Very friendly and personable as well as knowledgeable!! Highly recommended this office! They worked flawlessly with my Scan insurance as well. read more

Highly recommend Dr Kline! He performed my Toric Cataract Surgery, and my results are OUTSTANDING! I am completely thrilled with the outcome, and he and his staff were so wonderful to work with, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment if you are in need of this type of surgery. He's the BEST there is! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Kline and his staff including Dr. Todd Driver, who did the next day surgery follow up appointment and Sandy, his assistant coordinator. I recently had cataract surgery in both eyes about three weeks apart. From the first appointment with Dr Kline through the second follow up appointment with Dr Driver, I have been well informed, listened to and assured of excellent results, which I experienced. Surgery is done at the Newport Bay SurgeryCenter and the staff including the nurses and receptionists were reassuring and extremely competent. I am amazed the surgery was painless. The best part, now I can see everything clearly without trifocal glasses. read more

I am a 76 year old retired physician with type 2 diabetes and polyneuropathy. I was going blind from my over mature cataracts that many ophthalmologists were too afraid to remove because they considered me to be an extreme risk for the surgical procedure. At this point, my vision was progressively worsening where even the strongest glasses were of no value. Fortunately,I was able to to see the finest and most thorough ophthalmologist in Dr. Daniel Kline. After his very thorough and comprehensive evaluation he was able to schedule the surgery to remove my cataracts and implant a intra ocular prosthetic lens. His office, the surgical center and all employees were so thorough, empathetic, and genuinely concerned for my well being and surgical success. I now can see better and clearer than my childhood years. I can't say enough to about Dr. Kline's overall superiority, medical excellence, and overall care he delivered. He is a doctor's doctor and ophthalmologist's ophthalmologist !! He is, by far, the finest, if not the best ophthalmologist in our country. His office is also excellent with genuine concern for any and all of problems you may have with your eyes. His reputation precedes him and I can't say enough to recommend Dr Kline for any eye or visual symptoms you may have. Sincerely, Miles E. Stone, M. D. read more

I had an appointment to have glasses fitted. I was called and had Diana go with me to see Skye, the girl that fits glasses. I tried several pairs of glasses & chose a steel-rimmed glasses frame. Then I also wanted a pair of prescription sunglasses. Skye mentioned to us that if I didn't like the glasses to bring them back within a month. So Diana paid $933 for both pairs. Thank you Diana! Two weeks after I picked up the glasses my pair of regular glasses broke. Diana called Skye to tell her my glasses broke and that I was not happy with the glasses. I told Skye that I wanted Diana's money back. She said that she would have to ask Dr. Kline if I could get Diana's money back. The answer was no, but that they would fix them if I returned them. I said that I would not return them to have them fixed. My insurance investigated the situation and they got a different story. So I'm looking for another eye specialist. End of story.

See all

I had cataract surgery on both eyes, and am thrilled with my results! My vision is better than I anticipated, and both Dr Kline and all of his staff were professional and welcoming. I had to wait a bit for appointments, but it was well worth it! All my questions were answered, good pre surgical information was given, and I always looked forward to my appointments. read more

Always feel rushed and frustrated. Medical office way to large for personal attention...... especially for eye surgery.

I had one consultation with Dr. Kline, and had to wait a significant amount of time in the waiting room despite having an appointment. I believe this is due to the fact that Dr. Kline is "double booked," as told to me by the office staff. During this consultation for cataract surgery, I was informed that I should receive the procedure soon (at least on my left eye) as my sight has been heavily affected and cataracts only get worse over time. However, I've experienced twice already my appointments being cancelled with very short notice, with the reason being that "Dr. Kline won't be in the office." When I call to reschedule, there are so few availabilities, which is frustrating because there are multiple steps to have this procedure completed (consultation - measurements - surgery date for one eye). When I rescheduled my appointment for eye measurements, I was informed that there probably wouldn't be any surgery dates available for the next month, and because of the time gap in between the initial consultation and surgery, I would have to get my eyes dilated and checked again, which would require me to ask someone to take time off work again to drive me back from the appointment. I think it is a given that the lack availability indicates that Dr. Kline is in high demand, and truly must be an excellent health provider. The interaction I had with him was quaint and informative, and I don't doubt his expertise at all. However, I am tired of waiting for months for this procedure due to HIS appointment cancellations. Additionally, they will not provide any cost breakdowns for the procedure until eye measurements are completed, which I find very unhelpful to patients who are trying to seek out the best yet most affordable care for their eyes. What if I waited all this time and got my measurements completed, only to find out I can't afford the surgery? There are many competent cataract surgeons in the area who use the latest technology and are fully transparent of their costs from the get go. read more

During COVID-19, I want have Zoom interview with him. Assistant and He was very thoughtful, Calling me ahead and I do not wast my time. He took time to lean about my problem. He prescript eyes drops are very useful. When COVID-19 is over, I am sure I want visit office to lean about Lasic. Thank you Doctor and assistants, Be safe and be well. read more

Dr. Kline is Wonderful! The office is busy & the wait longer than usual, but he's worth the wait!

Call this place to make an appointment and all they cared about was my Indira information. This is the conversation. Nicole: hello Dr... this is Nicole speaking Me: hi Nicole, Im calling to see if you have an appointment for today Nicole: what's your insurance Me: ahhh I think it's blue cross. I'm sorry I wasn't ready for this question. Nicole: is it a ppo or hmo Me: ppo Nicole: what's the group Me: can you tell me if you do have something available for today otherwise this is pointless Nicole: (attitude totally rude) looks like the first availability is tomorrow Me: thank you bye And bye, taking my business elsewhere. read more

I love Dr Klein and his staff, especially Skye who works in the optical shop. Recently my mother's glasses were lost at her board and care. it's very difficult to get her to the doctors office. I was panicked. Dr. Klein spoke to me after hours and enabled his optical shop to use an old prescription to make glasses for my mother within a couple of days. Granted the glasses were not our preferred style, but we were desperate and I did not want to spend a lot of money. But the most amazing thing was that Skye visited my mom in the board and care on her day off to fit my mother with the new glasses. I'm so appreciative of their kindness and care for their patients!! read more

I arrived at the doctor's office about half an hour ahead of my appointment time with all documentations filled out and ready to go. The staff promptly took me to the back for an initial exam and review of medical history. Being to many doctor's office lately, I have to say Dr. Kline and his staff truly uses their time well. At any given moment all of the exam rooms are occupied with a patient and the staff. Dr. Kline thoroughly gives verbal directions for the staff to work on with the patient while he addresses another. The office is nice and clean and the staff is very polite and helpful. Given this is my first visit at an ophthalmologist, I have to say Dr. Kline ran at least 15 different types of tests before coming to a conclusion and made very usely suggestions! Highly recommended! read more

Daniel C Kline, MD - Ophthalmologists Near Me - Irvine, California

I just had cataract surgery on both eyes, one in January and the other last week. Dr. Kline has taken care of me throughout the process and has done an exceptional job. He performed both procedures in Newport Beach and they were handled painfully, with great care and I felt comfortable during the entire process. The staff that assisted him and his staff in his office are friendly, professional and thorough. I would use him for any future eye care with no hesitation. The most important part is that I have my vision back and it was so easy. This has been my first encounter with Dr. Kline and I found him knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Great job. Mark S. read more

I would like to update my past review. I have met this Dr. Kline. I appreciate that Dr. Kline spent an hour or so to do all the necessary exams and explained my conditions very thoroughly. He is very professional and honest. I would like to go back to see him again for other appointments and decide what options I have. Thank you for your great work ! read more

I just completed successful cataract surgery and I would like to thank Dr. Kline and his lovely staff for their expertise, experience, and compassion. When I first visited Dr. Kline, the vision in both of my eyes was so poor I had trouble seeing almost anything clearly. I'm happy to say that not only can I see, but I see the best that I ever have. Colors are vivid, lines are crystal-clear, and absolutely everything is in sharp focus. In fact, I had a lot of fun flushing my contact lenses right down the toilet! I greatly appreciate Dr. Kline's kindness, as well. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat but he assured me I would be fine. I'm actually more than fine. Thanks, Dr. Kline! read more
