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!

I recently visited the Eye Center of La Jolla for cataract surgery. While I was generally satisfied…read morewith the surgical results, the overall experience left much to be desired. On the positive side, the surgeon performed a good job. However, I encountered significant issues during the pre-operative process. The staff member responsible for my IV insertion lacked the necessary proficiency, which resulted in a painful injury to my hand; a different staff member eventually had to step in to complete the procedure. Additionally, I found the administrative process to be quite disorganized and inefficient. Having received excellent care from surgeons back home in the past, I felt the quality of support and administrative coordination here did not quite meet that same standard. I am sharing this feedback in the hope that it will help the center improve their patient care and internal processes.

He was deserving of a 5 star review.

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.

( That surgery does not make a person's eyes more moist, in fact, the surgery Weiss performed pulled my eyelids away from my eyes making them far dryer.tAfter Weisses' hack job, I had to get up several times a night to add moisturizing drops in order to be able to sleep and during the day I had to add eye drops every 10-15 min to relieve the pain while awake after Weiss screwed up my eyes. It was later discovered that WEISS HAD CARELESSLY CUT CLEAN THROUGH A LIGAMENT THAT CONTROLS THE EYE with his unskilled surgical techniques. After the Weiss horrible surgery, I consulted with many OC ophthalmologists who just shook their heads at the damage Weiss had done , but did not want to be involved in the reconstruction of my horribly damaged eyes. I was later referred to Shiley Eye Center for help. Specifically, Dr. Kikawa. Dr. Kikawa thoroughly examined my eyes then warned me that he would try to do what he could to repair the damage Weiss had done , but I could not expect to look like the "before Weiss" photos again. I really admire Dr. Kikawa's honesty. Kikawa's skilled hands did repair the damage, as much as could be repaired. Usually doctors don't want to be involved in repairing another surgeon's botched surgery, I dont blame them. However, Dr. Kikawa could see how much I was suffering and helped me when it seemed no other doctor was even willing to try. I will be grateful to Dr. Kikawa for the rest of my life.
