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!

Then I had to select some new glasses, and I am indecisive and it's hard for me to select something new or different. so I've had the same style of glasses for 10 years. The optical department was so helpful. I had three employees help me make a decision. I felt very well taken care of and like I was the only patient they would see today. I didn't feel rushed or condescended to. It would be less pricey for me to go somewhere else, but with this kind of care, it is totally worth it.

Extremely disappointing experience. We were significantly overcharged for services/diagnostic…read moreprocedures that we never knowingly requested or agreed to. When we questioned the charges, we were simply told that the authorization was somewhere in the lengthy paperwork we had signed. In my opinion, burying additional services and charges in paperwork instead of clearly discussing them with a patient beforehand is extremely deceptive and unacceptable. The way our concerns were handled afterward was also aggressive, dismissive, and unprofessional. The entire experience left us feeling taken advantage of rather than treated as valued patients. I hope someone in management who genuinely cares about patient trust and ethical billing will reach out to address what happened.

Where to start? I am beyond thrilled that we found Dr Motwani and Cornea Revolution…read more My 17 year old son was diagnosed with keratoconus in February after noticing worsening vision that wasn't helped by glasses. I began diving into researching keratoconus and was completely overwhelmed because the provider who diagnosed him was not communicating with me to answer questions and concerns. We had been given an appointment for corneal collagen crosslinking but it was almost 3 months from the time of diagnosis. AND we were told that any vision correction needed after crosslinking could be addressed with 'special lenses' (scleral lenses most likely) I was concerned after reading how fast keratoconus can progress in teens, So I found myself on a Facebook support group seeking answers. I posted asking anyone whether 3 months was too long to wait to do anything, especially after I learned my son's tests put him in the advanced range in one eye. To my surprise, Dr Motwani answered my question on Facebook. He advised he would always treat teens sooner rather than later due to quicker progression which confirmed what I'd been reading. But he also mentioned his CREATE + Crosslinking protocol. I didn't know any such thing existed- that there was a way to not only stop progression but correct the vision as well. Dr Motwani is a pioneer in this field. After calling the office I was offered an appointment that would be sooner than our original provider would even talk to me on the phone to address my concerns. Lyra spoke with me for a long time on the phone. I was able to speak to two moms whose teens had seen Dr Motwani and both moms gave very positive reviews. I was so impressed at the level of care they provided even before we made the appointment to be seen. So, I knew in my heart this was worth the drive and out of pocket cost. And I was right. I'm moved to tears now because my son's vision is greatly improved. The 'cone' in his worse eye is much smaller, and completely gone in the other eye. His vision is nearly 20/20 now. He can see a lot better. We are almost three months out from surgery and healing will continue but he has improved so much already. We were treated so kindly by Dr Motwani and the whole staff. During surgery, my son requested a Stevie Wonder album be played and they honored his request. I watched the whole process through the glass doors and on the monitor. And afterwards during the challenging first night, I was able to call and speak to the tech, Angelle, for advice and reassurance even late at night. Kind, transparent, and competent. We are so grateful! Thank you!

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.

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.

Well, she paid her cash that she'd saved, and the young man was a little flustered about taking cash (like he didn't know what to do with it). He had problems printing out a receipt, so we said we'd get it on the way out and we forgot. Six months later Scripps says we didn't pay. They have been "looking into it" supposedly. I have even gone to see their billing dept. we had even told the doctor that she'd paid cash because she was proud of herself. Now I am stuck with another bill! A year and a half ago, Scripps head surgeon of neurology diagnosed me with a brain aneurism, his radiologist disagrees, and so did other neurologists from other hospitals. My ent misdiagnosed my cancer (that I had) and he didn't medicate me correctly for an ear disease I have. So I left. They have always managed to notch my family's accounts - but this is a biggie - this sounds like a problem to me in Rancho Bernardo ophthalmology. And why did I need to make a category, did they take the old one down? I will continue re-posting. What happened was very wrong! My 12 year old worked hard for her money - and now it's just missing! I don't know the gentleman's name who was working there, but he was new and young and African American. I've been back a few times to talk with him about this, and he wasn't at the desk. He might have put it in the wrong account, I don't know - I just want to get this taken care of.
