'm a 23 yr old male who finally got LASIK surgery done, and am glad I did so with the help of the awesome people here! I was initially attracted to Morris Eye Group (who works with Grandview Lasik Center in the same office to do the surgery portion of this procedure) because of the very comprehensive website that had a lot of information. I really appreciated that they only do a few procedures per day as opposed to a low cost place that might do 10 or 15. They even worry about the humidity in the room! They take their time and do an initial consultation and a second pre-op visit. If you decide to get this done, make sure that you schedule it during a time when you have a flexible schedule!! The staff is extremely friendly and professional and I enjoyed getting to know them over the 5+ visits. One thing to note is that you might not see the same person each time, due to scheduling or other factors (and I happened to go during the holidays). Regardless, I only have positive feedback about each nurse and doctor that I got to work with. In my opinion, the surgery itself is not the quick simple easy procedure that you read about! I would consider myself a pretty rugged guy, but... it was intense. Ask for twice the vicodin and make sure you get enough numbing drops in both eyes! My right eye went pretty quickly, but my left eye didn't quite get enough numbing drops and it took multiple tries to get suction which left it red and bloodshot for a month afterwards. I had a meeting the next morning and was able to throw away my glasses and contacts, and then drive up to orange county. Two months later now, and I'm having some minor dry eyes in the morning/night. Have perfectly clear vision, better than average actually. I purchased the "lifetime guarantee" insurance which was only an extra 10% in case things ever change. I'm confident that I will not need it any time soon and am very glad to have gotten this procedure done. If you want to get LASIK in the North San Diego County area come here first!! Thanks guys!! read more

I had LASIK done at Grandview LASIK Center four days ago and am already amazed by the results. I knew my vision was going to get better, but I didn't know how much better it was going to get. My everyday life used to be full of constant frustration due to vision problems, but now it feels like I'm watching a high definition movie. Additionally, the nonstop discomfort from glasses and contacts that used to haunt me is now nonexistent because I no longer use them. I can't reiterate enough how much higher my quality of life already is. One thing I want to point out is how everyone at Grandview had my best interest in mind. Dr. Katzman in particular made sure that I got the best results possible by ensuring that we didn't rush the preoperative process despite my impatience. I was far from the ideal candidate for LASIK, but he knew how much I wanted to get it and did everything he could to make it happen. He also fielded an unfathomable amount of questions from my mom with patience and enthusiasm, which is a feat on its own. I highly recommend Grandview LASIK Center if you are looking to get LASIK eye surgery. They are awesome people and will serve you well. Thank you Brittney, Dr. Katzman and everyone else (I'm horrible with names, but you all were awesome). I've never been so happy to be me. read more

I was a little nervous about getting LASIK surgery done at first. However, after doing a consultation with Brittney Kilian, she not only informed me of the procedure from beginning to end, but gave me a tour of where the surgery would take place as well as answering all or any questions I had (procedure, financial, risks, recovery, etc). Mrs Kilian then introduced me to Dr Lee R Katzman, who would actually be performing the procedure. I ask him the same questions as I did Brittney for reassurance. Dr Katzman was extremely informative, articulate and had me feeling very good about the procedure at this point. After Dr. Katzman addressed all my MANY concerns, we discussed the details of pre-surgery, surgery day, post surgery. So after I received all the information I needed and comparing prices with other places (yes even the one that's on the radio every day) I decided to go for it. So, in the end I ended up with 20/15 in the left eye and 20/20 in the right eye coming from 20/200 prior to surgery. It's been roughly 2.5 weeks from the surgery 8/21 and I know my eyes are still healing, but man it's one of the greatest feelings to not have to wear glasses anymore and to not have to deal with all the annoyances. read more

Recently had Lasik done at the Grandview LASIK center by Dr. Katzman and his team and it was a wonderful experience. Going into the procedure I was a bit nervous but Dr. Katzman walked me through every step of the procedure and assured me the recovery process would be an easy one. I have been wearing contacts and glasses my whole life and was finally ready to make a change, I knew Morris Eye Group would take care of me, based off many referrals from family and close friends. Three days after my procedure I am seeing crystal clear and couldn't be happier. The surgery took about twenty minutes and was not as scary as I thought it would be. Dr. Katzman and his team were very accommodating during the LASIK procedure when I needed a few minutes in between each eye to prepare myself for the next part of the procedure. They were very encouraging and friendly when I was feeling a bit stressed during the surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Katzman, best decision I made, goodbye contacts and all the issues that come along with them! Oh and Brittney Kilian, the optical department manager is so sweet, and was very easy to contact with any questions I had regarding the recovery process and booking follow up appointments. read more

I absolutely LOVE my eye doctor at Morris Eye Group (Dr. Janie Bodman!)...when I told her I was considering Lasik because of contact lens allergies , she gave me glowing recommendation of Dr. Katzman at Grandview Lasik Center, connected to the Morris Eye Group practice. He is absolutely wonderful! In my visits leading up to the surgery, he was so encouraging and attentive while I shared my fears about eye surgery. When I showed up to the Grandview Lasik Center surgery suite on the day of, Brittany, the Optical Department Mgr I'd been in touch with for the month prior, had just pulled chocolate chip cookies out of the oven- one of the many perks provided to make a surgery just a little more pleasant. During the procedure, Dr. Katzman was gentle and kind, even as my anxiety prolonged the procedure by an hour or so. My post-op visits have been wonderful, with Dr. Katzman as gracious and informative as always. Amazing experience, amazing team, and now, AMAZING EYESIGHT! read more

Had a wonderful experience here. Physicians and staff are professional, considerate, and did an excellent job providing me with full information along every step of the process. I was relatively nervous the week of surgery, however during the pre-op appointment Dr. Katzman talked through my concerns and I left much calmer. Day of surgery was easy - I got to the office, waited 30 minutes while the Valium kicked in, and then went into the operating room. Surgery took ~12 minutes and I felt no pain. There's pressure, and you can see what's happening what's happening (which I did not enjoy) but the doctor narrated every step so I knew what was coming. Post surgery was also very easy - had about ~1-2 hours with a slight stinging sensation but nothing unbearable. Next day I woke up already able to see as if I had contacts in - only major recovery symptom is dry eyes (I'm now ~30 hours post-surgery). read more

I had lasik surgery at Grandview lasik center on 12/18/2017. I was seen in consultation by Dr Katzman who was thorough and highly professional. Brittney the optical department manager is fantastic. She accommodated my needs in terms of scheduling and facilitated the whole process. When Dr. Katzman saw me for my preop appointment he was quick to pick up on my anxiety, he was reassuring and answered all my questions. The day of my procedure I had full confidence that I was in the right hands. Post surgery I had a burning sensation that resolved the same day a small price to pay for the positive outcome. My vision now is better than it was when I wore glasses. Great experience with an A- Team! that is making a difference in patients lives. Thank you Dr Katzman and your wonderful staff for my new vision. read more

I have debated doing Lasik for last couple years and I finally decided to move forward with Grandview based on their reputation and their new Lasik center in Encinitas. It was hands down my best decision of 2017 and couldn't be happier with the outcome. I had really bad eye sight, on the border of being blind, and I am now 20/15. It is the best feeling to wake up and be able to see with out my glasses. I also traveled over the holidays and didn't have the extra hassle of bringing contacts, glasses, etc. Dr. Katzman is very professional and I was very comfortable in trusting him with my procedure and my future eye sight. I would recommend them to any family, friends or anyone looking at improving their eye sight. read more

I recently (Sept 2017) got LASIK eye surgery with Dr Katzman and had a wonderful experience. Despite my extreme nervousness and anxiety about the procedure beforehand, Dr. Katzman took his time with me to answer ALL my questions & was extremely kind and patient with me. During the procedure, he would perform a part of the surgery & then pause in between eyes or treatment to make sure I was doing okay, and also check in to see how I was feeling. His primary concern was first, for my successful surgery and second, for my feelings to be at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Katzman and his team for LASIK. I appreciate all the time and resources used to give ,e the best vision ever! read more

I had my LASIK done by Dr Katzman last April. The procedure was painless and everything was very clear as to what the procedure entailed. I had worn contacts for ten years and have my annual exam done at the Morris Group. My prescription had remained stable but couldn't read anything without my contacts. When I got home from having the LASIK, I got up later that night and walked past the thermostat and I could read the temperature!! It felt great. Because of my age Dr Katzman did explain that at some point I would need a cornea transplant but wanted to do this much less invasive procedure first. If you want to ditch your glasses or contacts, go for it! read more

I'm so glad I chose Grandview for my LASIK surgery. I was really nervous about the whole Process and everyone there made it very simple. Dr. Katzman was so personable and had a really good bedside manner. He made sure to answer all my questions and did extensive measurements to ensure the best possible outcome. Brittney was the coordinator and was able to work me in a timely manner even with my crazy schedule. Fred was the tech and he was knowledgeable and his experience in the field put me at ease. The whole process was really easy and quick. I now see 20/15 and couldn't be happier! read more

LASIK has changed my life for the better! As someone who couldn't put contacts in, I was dependent on glasses to see long distance, but now I wake up with crystal clear vision and never have to worry about keeping my glasses clean or not breaking them. The staff here was wonderful and warm and the professionalism of Dr. Katzman made the experience smooth and wonderful. Every step of the process was explained and the procedure itself was easy and mostly painless. My eyes have recovered nicely and I would recommend everyone looking for LASIK to come here. read more

I highly recommend having your lasik procedure done at the Grandview Lasik Center and with Dr. Katzman. The whole team was friendly and and Dr. Katzman was able to clearly help me understand the procedures and associated risks. The procedure was quick and painless, but can a little overwhelming. The Valium they give before the procedure and constant communication during the process really helped calm my nerves. 24 hours after the procedure I can already see 20/15 with very little dryness. I do not think you will regret having this procedure done. read more

Loved my experience at Grandview LASIK Center! Dr. Katzman performed a Raindrop procedure on me to reduce the need for reading glasses. Dr. Katzman and everyone working at Grandview were helpful, kind and professional. This was my first time having any type of eye procedure done and they made the experience very comfortable. I was very well informed on what to expect because they explained everything to me in detail. I would definitely recommend Dr. Katzman and his team! read more

I recently had my first and only LASIK procedure with Dr. Katzman and I could not be more pleased with the results. Prior to the procedure, I was constantly fumbling with my glasses and my vision was getting worse by the day. The procedure went smoothly with no pain and I woke up the next day with my eye-sight in back. It was if my eye sight was turned back 20 years. I cannot thank Dr. Katzman and his staff enough for giving me back my quality of life. read more

I can't believe I waited this long to do this!!! LASIK has changed my lifestyle for the better! I wake up with crystal clear vision and even after 2 weeks have happily forgotten the drudgery putting up with contacts. The staff at Grandview and the professionalism of Dr. Katzman made the experience smooth and enjoyable. I am new to the area and so happy I found Grandview!!! read more

Dr. Katzman and his team are amazing! LASIK is definitely a life changer, and I only wish I had it done sooner. After wearing contacts for 30 years, being able to see first thing in the morning is still unbelievable. Dr. Katzman and his staff are extremely professional and caring. I highly recommend them! read more
