First I'll start by saying that I absolutely love wearing glasses. But my prescription was a bit on…read morethe higher side and the cost of glasses (I have way more than I need) was getting ridiculous. Also I wear progressive lenses. Which means I wear glasses that help with my distance, intermediate and reading. Talk about costing an arm and a leg. So, I finally made the decision that Lasik was what I needed to do. After discussing it with my optometrist, we decided that going with an intermediate Lasik approach would be the best option for me.. while the optometrist at Dr. Berg's office suggested that a better option would either be monovision (one eye for near and one for far) or correct my near vision, as I am in Abbott reader. But I decided to stick with the intermediate I had discussed with my optometrist. My original surgery day was back in February. I will say they got me exactly where I wanted them to have me.. and just like they said it definitely was not working for me. I reached back out to them to let them know that I wasn't happy with my selection. The staff was absolutely amazing. They helped me navigate this new reality and gave me what my options were. After discussing it with their optometrist once again we decided to go ahead and correct me for full distance meaning I will now only need glasses for reading. I am one week postop and I am truly enjoying this so much better than what I had originally selected. Dr Berg has been extremely patient and kind and understanding of all my feelings and emotions and my over analysis of everything that has to do with my eyes. Katy in the laser department is a dream. She not only answered my questions, but she also made me feel heard and absolutely seen. She sat there and discussed what was coming next, she made me feel confident in my decision and I am so grateful that she took that time out of her busy schedule to sit down and talk to me.. The staff is fantastic. They are all extremely friendly and kind. Nadine was a complete pleasure to work with and was always there to answer any questions I might have post surgery.. I highly recommend Dr. Berg and his entire practice for any and all of your LASIK needs.

I used to go to the Burbank location and they were always amazing. Unfortunately, my recent…read moreexperience at the Sherman Oaks location was the complete opposite. I went in for a diabetic eye check-up and eye exam. On the day, everything seemed to go perfectly well. I had the examination, paid my copay and left. The only thing I did was forget to take my prescription with me. When I called afterward to simply get the prescription I had already been examined and tested for, I was absolutely stunned to be told that I would need to make ANOTHER appointment. So let me get this straight: I already had the eye exam, they already determined my prescription, and presumably they already had that information on file -- but to actually get it, I was expected to come back, have another appointment, pay another copay AND pay again for something that should have been provided after the original examination? How is that remotely reasonable? What makes it even more infuriating is that my prescription hasn't changed in many, many years. I wasn't asking them to perform some new service. I was asking for the prescription from the examination I'd already had and paid for. It honestly felt like an attempt to squeeze another appointment and another payment out of a patient for absolutely no good reason. Whether that was actually the intention or not, that's certainly how it came across. I had such good experiences at the Burbank location, which makes this even more disappointing. But after this experience with Sherman Oaks, I won't be going back. Patients shouldn't feel like they're being nickel-and-dimed just to receive the results of an examination they've already paid for. Really poor way to do business.

I recently visited this office after being advised to follow up with an ophthalmologist due to a…read morescratched cornea. During my initial visit, LASIK was recommended, so I scheduled what I understood would be a consultation to see if I qualified. When I arrived, there seemed to be some confusion about the purpose of my appointment. I was told it was for a contact lens/eye exam, and even after explaining that I was there *specifically* for a LASIK consultation, I still ended up receiving a standard eye exam (I think? They didn't tell me anything lol, you'll see as I explain further). I may not fully understand how LASIK consultations are typically conducted, but there was very little communication throughout the visit about what was being done or why. One of the more frustrating parts of my experience was that I was not informed at any point--either before the appointment or during the visit--that my eyes would be dilated. I am legally blind and have been getting my eyes checked since I was a child (nearly 20 years) and I have not gotten my eyes dilated since I was a kid! When the drops were given, no one explained what they were or that they would dilate my eyes. I only realized this after my eyes became extremely sensitive to light and I got semi dizzy that I had to ask what was happening. There was also no guidance provided on what to expect afterward or how long the effects would last. Because of this, I was completely unprepared; I didn't have sunglasses and still needed to drive home. I was only given sunglasses after I specifically asked. So bizarre. I feel like regardless if this is common or not, this should be something communicated during the process... I also wouldn't have myself if I knew they were gonna dilate my eyes. After all of that, I still didn't receive much information about LASIK itself. I had to ask whether I even qualified, and the answer was given very casually without much explanation. If it weren't for me asking questions, I would've been given 0 information. Overall, the main issue was the lack of communication. I left feeling confused, unprepared, and not prioritized as a patient. While the office itself is clean and the staff wasn't unfriendly, clearer communication and better guidance throughout the process would have made a significant difference. Them sneaking in an eye exam on top of the "free" consultation, felt like they were just trying to make some money. For anyone considering this office, I would recommend coming prepared with questions and advocating for clear explanations during your visit. Otherwise, you're given nothing.

Dr Moosa gave me permanent eye damage!…read more I made the life-altering mistake to trust Dr. Moosa at Excel Laser Eye Institue with my eye surgery in June 2011. I had previously had a completely successful Lasik surgery on both eyes 10 years prior, in Monterey County. That surgery was done professionally, and my vision was perfect for many years. Unfortunately, I trusted Dr Moosa and his staff to provide the same specialized service. My eyesight had changed, as happens as we age, and the recommendation was that I have the Lasik surgery in just my right eye. I made several visits to the Excel Laser Vision Institute, to make absolutely sure that I was making the correct decision in moving ahead. Unfortunately - it was one of the worst decisions of my life. Not only did no-one disclose that my close-up vision would be significantly worsened by the procedure, but it also has resulted in a life of pain and discomfort, that I will suffer until the day I die! Once the procedure was completed, a contact lens was placed over the flap that had been surgically cut for the procedure. I was told to go home and rest and sleep. When I think back to this day, I realize how rushed things were and how little time there was "in recovery" to make sure everything was as it should be, before sending me on my way. Once I got home, I went to bed and tried to sleep, but I was in significant discomfort. A couple of hours later, I woke up in excruciating pain. I called Dr. Moosa's office, and his staff assured me it was normal and advised me to rest my eyes. I insisted that it didn't feel normal. As the pain and fear intensified, I called repeatedly, explaining that something was seriously wrong, but each time I was told to just rest. When it became clear that no one was going to help, I said I would have to go to the ER because I knew something was very wrong. Finally, Dr. Moosa called me back and told me to return to the vision center. It was after 9 p.m. by then. A friend drove me there, and when Dr. Moosa examined my eye, he discovered that the flap he had cut was folded behind the contact lens. I had been suffering like that for hours. Dr Moosa, made the adjustments that he could and I was sent home again. The flap finally closed up, but the result was major permanent scarring. Every single day of my life, I have to use eye drops multiple times a day in that one eye. It is dry, scratchy, and if I cry, my eye burns! I have to have eye drops available in every room and with me at all times. I have been back to see Dr. Moosa on many occasions over the years, and his recommendations have always been various kinds of eye drops and eye supplements! He has told me from day one that "it's healing well, it will take some time, but it should all eventually fade away and be unnoticable". This is a lie and always has been a lie! A recent eye exam from my regular eye doctor revealed that the scarring to my eye is very significant and severe, and it is NOT going away ever! I trusted Dr Moosa and his staff! I literally put my eyesight in his hands and he failed me completely

Some unknown debris flew into my left eye during a late-night bicycle ride. I blinked it away as…read morebest I could and continued my bike ride, not thinking much of it. When I got home, I flushed the eye out with water, thinking that would take care of the remaining irritation. Wrong. I'd never experienced this kind of eye discomfort before - and it wasn't going away. I went to bed, but didn't get one iota of sleep -- the eye was just a bit too uncomfortable. Early the next morning, I was unsure how to proceed. It was Sunday, so no eye clinics were open. Did this warrant a visit to the E.R.? I wasn't sure. Finally, I called Colvard Eye Center and they said they could put me in touch with the on-call doctor. I said OK, and soon heard the slightly sleepy-sounding voice of Dr. Bala. I hadn't ever talked to her before, and now I'd introduced myself by waking her up because my anxiety kept me from realizing I should wait a couple of hours. I wouldn't blame her for being grouchy for such an early call -- but she wasn't. I told Dr. Bala my situation, and she was wonderful about the whole thing. She told me I didn't need the E.R., set my mind at ease, gave me some recommendations as to how to get by for the day, then said to call in first thing the next morning, and that she'd try to see me. The rest of the process unfolded nicely under her caring guidance. A few days later, she looked into my eye and said "much better!", giving me permission to drop my prescription eye drops. I'm so grateful for Dr. Bala's caring, professional, and spot-on approach & treatment. I look forward to her being my primary ophthalmologist for the foreseeable future. Thank you, Dr. Bala! :)

Barely any advice before and the aftercare was the absolute worst and handled extremely poorly. They wouldn't even let me pick up the medication before I picked up my partner from surgery so they had to wait for their meds while in severe pain. Really disorganized! Other doctors that perform prk understand that pain is different for patients and some offer stronger pain medication to relieve the pain but all laser eye center provided were coated Tylenols. They also didn't prescribe according to height and weight so the amount of medication barely lasted 2 days. It also barely made a difference with pain. It's actually ridiculous and infuriating thinking about how unprofessional and unorganized this place was. I begged and pleaded for any kind of help and they would coldly say, "well some patients experience a lot pain, and some don't at all and there's nothing we can do". No empathy, no apology, no compromise. shouldn't you help patients paying out of pocket to access medication to help?? Is this a joke? We were reassured he'd get pain meds after and that he'd be fine but nope, just a small amount of coated Tylenol with no refill despite explaining our circumstance. No numbing eyedrops. Nothing they could do while my partner is crying and screaming in agony for four days straight with barely any sleep. Have you ever seen a grown man screaming and crying and kicking me begging to gauge his eyes out for four days straight? All day long? Horrible service, horrible help, horrible nurses, and front desk management. Their on call person has no idea what they're talking about and would just say to wait to talk to the doctor tomorrow. Like ????? What's the point of an on call nurse who has minimal experience. The one star is because the Asian female doctor herself was the only redeeming factor of this business that saves it and it seems out of her hands. But at least her attitude and personality was understanding and kind. We understood it could take longer to heal with pain meds but my partner was crying that he'd gauge his eyes out before they even heal and BEGGED. We felt scammed about how they downplayed it and it felt like they underexaggerated the process. He said it felt like medieval torture and like sand constantly scratching his eyes still the office handled it so poorly I get livid just thinking about this. It was excruciating for me to take care of someone suffering so much and even worse for him. I would never recommend this business to anyone for the way they handled the prk surgery. If you get prk surgery, go somewhere else. They don't care about their patients, you're just another number and dollar sign. Never again. Also parking is $12. Absolutely ridiculous and disgusting.

Dr Bala came very highly recommended from another doctor that I highly respect, so wanted to give…read moreher, and DLV, a fair chance. And because of how warm Dr Bala was, this review gets 2 stars. But, DLV doesn't deserve more than 2 stars for the following reasons... 1) I was scheduled for the 1st appointment on Friday morning @ 7:10a, and received a call on Monday to answer various pre-appointment questions. Nothing wrong with that, right? But when I received another call on Thursday, asking the exact same questions, I politely told them that I had already answered all of these questions and they need to find the notes from the Monday call. And no, they weren't calling to confirm my Monday answers. They were calling brand new, with no record of the previous call. 2) Before being brought into the exam room, they gave me a contact lens case and some solution and pointed me to the sink to use. It seems like it was their communal kitchen sink, since there were dirty coffee mugs in and around the sink. Not a good place to wash hands for removing contact lenses. Side note, when I was done with the exam, I was directed to the bathroom to use for putting my contacts back in, and that was clean. 3) Upon arriving at the appointment, the tech brought me into the exam room and did an eye exam on me. Everything was fine with that, and he said that the doc would be right in to talk with me further. After 20 minutes of waiting, and no cellular service (boy, I'm way to reliant on my cell phone!), I exited the room to inquire where the doctor was. The doctor and two other people were outside the room chatting away and told me that the doctor would be right in, which was accurate as she came right in. But come on, being the 1st appointment of the day should mean something, right? 4) And finally, when I was done with the exam and had my contacts back in, I met with the financial person, who told me how much everything would be. Though I know it's her job, I felt like she was the finance office of a car dealership and trying to upsell me on things: "Would you like the $299 eye drop pack?" "Extended warranty?" "How about the weather protection package?" (joking about the warranty & weather package) Maybe it's the right place for you, but it's just not the right place for me to put my eyes in their hands.
