Dr, Lum conivinced me 24 years ago that I had cataracts that need to be removed, I trusted him with one which he messed up my vision forever ^ horribly, & I had to have 3 surgeries on that same eye. The nurse at the hospital told me I had a lawsuit case against him if I wanted on the second of the three surgeries. He then asked if I was ready to do the other eye after I had had it checked out by Dr Davidson who said I have no cataract in the other eye. Dr lum seems greedier than our leaders & probably voted for them as well (billionaires) since he's rich rich rich! Don't go there; hedoesnt care about the patient only the money. read more

Dr Lum is fine; but their billing practices are unacceptable. This is the ONLY practice I know of that rather than just accept the payments from medicare, they make you get the checks from medicare, sign them over, drive them to the office (or spend money on postage) and this is not just a single check. I had I think a half dozen this last time. And then the bills keeps coming months and months later and it is really difficult to actually reconcile whether or not you indeed still owe them something. It is a huge waste of a patient's time. Then if you call billing, good luck actually getting someone. I find this practice just infuriating and patient-unfriendly. Would not go there again, just because of their billing practices. read more

They do NOT participate with Medicare or accept assignment. Only concerned with charging as much as they can , demanding payment with 3% surcharge if use a credit card and making patients bring Medicare issued payment back to them with explanation of benefits so they can process billing secondary insurance leaving any remaining balance for patient to pay . Forgot concept of caring about patients versus $ read more

I was diagnosed with acute glaucoma several years ago, and was losing my eyesight in my left eye, having never been to an eye doctor in my life at 69 years old I had my first eye exam, where I was diagnosed with AMD and glaucoma. In both my eyes I was referred to Dr. Lum as an alternative to going to Los Angeles to the Jules Stein Institute at UCLA I found Dr. Lum to have a wonderful manner and after several surgeries, my eyesight has been returned to near normal, and I am very pleased with the service and the care that everyone at Dr. Lum's office provides I know they are an exceptional group providing the latest treatments in a wonderful atmosphere read more

I have been treated for glaucoma for over 20 year. Dr. Lum has been my Ophthalmologist for the last 14 years and in my opinion is the best one (of 4 ) that I have seen. Dr. Lum also did my cataract surgery, and put in lenses so that I no longer wear glasses unless it is something extremely close - like threading a needle - then I will use reading glasses. Understand Dr. Lum's office and staff (which I like) are set up to minimize the time he needs to see you - they get all the testing done that they can before the Dr. sees you. I had other Dr. I liked (Dermatology) drop out of the insurance I use because the reimbursement was not high enough. For a good doctor to accept lower level insurance they have to maximize productivity of the Dr.'s time. read more

I had an appointment and still I waited 1 hour and 35 minutes until Dr. Lum saw me...and this was an earlier morning appointment. I really wish the office would do a better job scheduling or respect their paying patients enough to call me prior to my appointment to tell me they were running behind. The maybe 5 minutes Dr. Lum spent with me for a follow up appointment cost me $110 out of pocket. My appointment a week prior cost me $189 out of pocket and again he honestly spent 5-7 minutes with me. He honestly seems nice enough but can't say I felt like he gave me a very thorough exam or that I came away with any new knowledge of my acute eye condition. I won't be back to this office, I felt a lack of respect for my time and I felt like it was A LOT of money for such little time the doc actually spent with me. read more

DR. LUM has been my ophthalmologist for 18 years, He has treated me for cataracts and glaucoma. His staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I consider Dr. Lum to be the best in his field! He takes time with me and is very competent! I can refer him to anyone and they won't be disappointed., read more

If there were a 6 star option I would choose it! From the time I went in for the first evaluation until the second eye surgery and follow up every professional in Dr. Lum's group has been the best medical experience of my life. They all took the time to explain things and answer all my questions. Because of the unfortunate "cataract" name I always thought it was a radical surgery, but is the easiest procedure you could imagine. The actual operation is about 10 minutes and the recovery is days. The results are nothing less than miraculous! It's hard to explain the difference you will immediately see even the next day and then it gets better over the next few days. I show the comparison picture because that is actually what I saw after the operation. I did not realize how clouded and un-sharp my sight had become gradually over many years. Now I see 20/20 at distance with no glasses and improved even close up but perfect with basic reading glasses. I also see color better than ever in my life. This is life changing and I could not be more satisfied with Dr. Lum and his staff. The surgery was done at the Pacific Surgery Center just a few blocks from Dr. Lums office and their staff is just as good, so the convenience all around just made for a pleasant experience. If you even think your eyes are fading go see Dr. Lum and you will thank me! read more

I also so appreciate how kind and attentive the whole staff, including Dr. Lum, are on my husbands special needs. Thank you Dr. Lum and staff. read more

Kathy Julian 3 reviews 2 minutes ago Dr. Lum has performed my cataract surgery, a secondary cataract removal and treated me for dry eye syndrome. In every way he was skilled, professional, kind and successful. Sometimes there is a wait in his office but the quality of his care is well worth the time! He gives me his full attention, listens to my comments and questions and explains procedures and options carefully. He'll be moving soon........I'm so glad the move is just across the street from his current office location!! read more

Dr. Lum has been my doctor for over 10 years and has saved my eye sight several times. The fact that patients come from as far away as Santa Maria is proof of his reputation. His skill as an ophthalmological surgeon is unmatched as is his knowledge. His staff is not only smart and kept up to date on medical advances but are a pleasure to work with and staff turnover is zero. I count myself as extremely lucky that he was recommended to me. read more

Misdiagnosed me after a illness that attacked my retinas. I went to see him after I was released from the hospital. I had a mysterious virus & my eyesight was severely effected. Dr Lum said my eyesight was fine & had no idea that the virus had attacked my retinas & had left lesions & scars on them. So incredibly scary & thank God someone referred me to Dr Lutrell who immediately did the right type of testing to see what had happened to my eyesight. This was a completely traumatizing situation for me & Im still so upset about the way Dr. Lum over looked my condition & my very clear concerns. I kept telling him "everything is blurry, I can barely see" so unacceptable from a doctor with his knowledge & training! read more

Dr Lum is an authority in the area of eye surgery and is one of the best in the US as far as skill and technology.

I took my mom here. He had her pressing as hard as she could on her eye that has glaucoma. It drove her pressures insanely high. She now goes to Jules Stein Eye Institute. read more

I was diagnosed with glaucoma 35 years ago. As a result, I have had several ophthalmologists over the years. I found Dr. Lum late in 2015 and only wish I could have been under his care for the past 20 years! Dr. Lum is not only a seasoned professional and an excellent doctor his practice is state of the art. In addition, I have found him to be a very kind hearted man which is welcomed when we are putting our trust in someone with our eyesight. His staff is unmatched to any ophthalmology office that I have been involved in the last 35 years. The teamwork is amazing and obvious. Dr. Lum's office is like a "family business" of people that are not relatives and runs like a well-oiled machine. Many of his staff members have been with him for many years which tells me a lot about Dr. Lum the man and his overall vision of his ophthalmology practice. I cannot say enough positive things regarding my experiences directly with Dr. Lum and directly with many members of his staff. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to Dr. Lum. Your eyes and you will be in the very best of care and these days, that is saying a mouthful! Thank you, Dr. Lum and staff, for taking such good care of me! read more

This man is the best I could find in Ventura. I may have to go to Cedars.. I am not an eye doctor; at least he had answers for a botched operation for me.. All I can say is, don't ever mess with your eyes! When I had cataract replacement with Julianne McCarty, I asked her to put a prescription lens in so I didn't have to wear contacts any more. She blinded me. Some days I can see clearly, other days it looks like everything is a camera out of focus. When I went back to her to ask about it, she didn't seem to know what she was talking about - no definitive answer. At least Dr. Lum said to put drops in all the time and take a medication which adds hydration. That still has not worked. I was way better off with my ultra-thin gas-permeable hard lens. (soft lenses are for suckers - they are made to tear so you have to buy new lenses all the time) I had one lens 7 years! I could see signs a mile away down the freeway. Now it is hard to just see my friends 15 feet away! read more
