    I have never been so impressed with a doctor as I was with Dr. Shapiro. It was a very long…read moreappointment (3 hours) but I feel like I know a lot about laser eye surgery. You are given a very detailed exam and he spends the time to explain all the options, including wearing a set of contacts around the office and outside so you get a feel for the differences. Randy, the technician, administered the exams and was very friendly and professional. I am considering changing doctors and having my regular exams here because Randy really knew his stuff. The follow up by the office staff in Venture was wonderful. Sandy called me twice to set up the prescriptions, which was very surprising. I don't know if I can afford to do the procedure this year but it is definitely something I plan on doing in the near future and when I am ready, there is no doubt I will have Dr. Shapiro as my doctor!!!

    10 stars!! 15 on a scale of 5!! Dr. Shapiro is the greatest. I recommend him without reservation…read moreand with the greatest confidence in him as a laser eye surgeon, which is all he does -- not cataracts, just 100 percent laser eye surgery. In short, I was looking for a doc who was a technical expert; was going to be my eye doctor from beginning to end -- from the initial intake or "sell" appointment, to surgery and through the follow-up; and who would be accessible and accountable to me -- if I had a concern in the middle of the night, I wanted to be able to reach him or her. What I didn't realize is that I also wanted someone who had the latest laser -- what was then the third iteration of laser - and who was a very patient person. I got all of that as well as a really nice and personable human, and someone who treats his staff well enough that the "newcomer" has been there for 15+ years. The system that Dr. Shapiro has maps the inside of the eyeball. This iteration of laser locks onto the landmarks in the eye mapping; if the human or technology were to move or have any kind of surge, the laser would know that and immediately stop, eliminating all kinds of human error. I called his office one time to ask a question. He was in the office and overheard his assistant talking to me. More proactive than any doctor I've ever had, Dr. Shapiro got on the phone, asked me what was going on, and gave me detailed information. I was soooo impressed that not only could I get a hold of him if I'd tried calling him, but I actually got him when I hadn't even tried. That is HUGE to me. Where he totally amazed me was in his patience with me on the day of surgery. There is a choice between what I guess I would call the "prescription" of the surgery, or how you want him to "tune" your eyes. The choice is between seeing extremely well at one distance, like close-up for surgery; or to have blended vision, such as mid- and longer-distance, so you can see someone's face across a table and also see street signs on the freeway. To do the blended vision, the doc literally "sets" one eye at one distance and the other eye at the other distance and the patient's brain melds the two distances together. On my first visit to his office, his team gave me contacts that represented blended vision. All things being equal, I would have picked that option, but some people's brains don't integrate the two distances well. I have a history of motion sickness, and I didn't think I'd tolerate blended vision, so I picked the single distance vision. But on the day of my surgery, he told me that he thought I would tolerate the blended vision. He set me up with contacts again and told me to take my time, go outside, and see what I thought. Literally, he had his surgical team wait for me for at least a half hour while I walked around. I changed my mind and decided to try the blended vision. It worked, and two years post surgery, I haven't had a single issue with decision or with motion sickness, and am so glad I have the blended vision. I am extremely grateful to him for his excellence and his patience! The only downside is slight: When I did my original search for a laser eye doc, I looked for someone near San Luis Obispo. Dr. Shapiro's laser office is in Ventura, and he has satellite offices to do the initial meeting, and pre- and post-op appointments in several cities: Santa Barbara, SLO, etc. I did all of the pre- and post-op appointments in the SLO office, but I had to go to Ventura for the surgery. Not a huge deal, since I'd have taken the day for the surgery, but it wasn't originally what I was hoping for. Overall, I am very happy with my eyesight and Dr. Shapiro. My husband has decided it might be time for this surgery, too. If he decides to do it, we'll be going back to Dr. Shapiro.

    I can explain everything wrong with this place in a single sentence: "They are all about maximizing…read moreprofits." For example, if you find yourself waiting a long time for an appointment, it's because the place is run like a shopping mall: The more people who enter the doors, the better, because the more people you entice in the door, the more money you are likely to earn. I had to wait months for an appointment. Then, it took 3 weeks to get my glasses. The doctor screwed up the prescription, so I had to wait for another appointment. Then I had to wait another 3 weeks for my glasses. By the time I got the prescription fixed TWO MONTHS had passed. When I complained that two months was too long, the reaction was a shrug. They really don't care. They can't do anything about it because if they prioritize patient care, they will earn less money. They also spam their "patients" with advertising coupons. HURRY! YOU CAN HAVE THIS SURGICAL PROCEDURE FOR $500 OFF. (I put "patients" in quotation marks because they don't really have patients. They have customers.") Yes, a medical office spams its "patients" with slick ads and coupons for surgical procedures. When I pointed out to a supervisor that the place seems to be run with a corporate mentality (increase profits), rather than a medical office that prioritizes patient care, he said, "It IS a corporation." One star for this office. Two stars if this is simply what medicine in this country is coming to.

Dr Sani warned me just minutes before surgery that corrective surgery may take multiple sessions. (We had already had multiple appointments and this was the first I was hearing of multiple sessions under the laser). Surgery was quick and painless, however Dr sani would go on to accidentally cut my eye when removing the bandage contact lenses with his tweezers 7 days after prk laser surgery. He was adamant that he didn't cut my eye, and that I just had dry eyes, which was a common side effect. After weeks of dealing with eye pain and being out of work, and his diagnosis of "dry eyes" I saw another eye doctor. The 2nd eye doctor quickly diagnosed me with a cut to the eye, From a sharp object. (His tweasers). What should've been an easy fix, Dr sani failed to admit his mistake and turned my 2 weeks off the job into over a month. Overall poor communication and and ego turned this experience sour. I wouldn't go back to this location or recommend them to anyone.

    Fantastic Costco Eye Care Experience in SLO -…read more Dr. Loren Yasunari, O.D. This past Saturday, my wife and I walked into the San Luis Obispo Costco anxious and on edge. She'd noticed a new, growing floater and, after some well-meaning but alarmist input from friends, was convinced vague "flashes" (really just night-driving fatigue) might mean impending blindness or a retinal detachment. We called Friday. They said, "Come in tomorrow." No weeks-long wait. No HMO MD nor triage ER nurse gatekeeping. Just: Saturday, quick appointment friendly. Enter Dr. Loren Yasunari, O.D., the weekend relief optometrist who doesn't take insurance -- and who just delivered the most thorough, thoughtful eye exam either of us has ever had. We both went to the University of Hawaii, which was very cool indeed. He just does the weekend and is semi-retired and is a nice guy who takes pride in doing a great job like in the old days. It feels sort of like Costco priced Concierge medicine in a way. To be fair, this is not the same as seeing a MD for potential surgical advice, but it does focus on ruling out the immediate need to see a surgeon. What Made This Different (and Better) Not a refraction mill - This wasn't about pushing new glasses. It was 100% focused on ocular health and our acute concern. Step-by-step, gold-standard eval: Detailed history Slit-lamp exam (used twice) Pupil dilation Retinal photography by tech Intraocular pressure check Multiple angles of fundus viewing Informed consent done right - Every step explained, risks/benefits clear, differential diagnosis walked through out loud. Bedside manner: A+ - Calm, present, zero rush. Made a scared patient feel seen. The Verdict: All Clear No bleed No detachment No urgent threat Just a benign floater + reassurance The Logistics? Shockingly Good Cost $125 total (includes retinal photos -- a $50+ add-on elsewhere, even with VSP) Insurance None accepted -- didn't matter Wait time Next-day, Saturday, appointment needed ER/Urgent Care alternative? Zero chance they'd dilate + image Pacific Eye / SLO Eye wait? 3-6 weeks -- useless for acute concerns Local Context: Eye Care Access in SLO County Specialists are booked solid ERs have no ophthalmology on call Medicare? Great. Spouse without it? Good luck. Costco? Open Saturdays, no gatekeepers, real diagnostics. Pro tip: While waiting 20 minutes for dilation, you can roam the aisles, try all the samples including AG1 samples (tastes like lawn clippings & is priced like Presidential Crypto), or just people-watch. Best bet Kirkland Multivitamins...not Gummies. Gummies are missing vital Thiamine, and Iron for the ladies....not to mention being low on most others. For some reason, random vitamins and minerals are missing in multiple formulations...so one can be forced to buy multiple formulations to cover even basic needs. Weirdly therapeutic.

    Ok... this is in a Costco, which was very confusing. But the service and quality were outstanding…read moreon a busy Saturday afternoon. Everyone was very kind and the price for the service was more than reasonable given they don't take insurance. As good as an optometrist I've ever visited.

After paying 8+grand each lense, and, after my last surgery in early April, several adjustments, secondary cataracts, and close to 20 visits to work on this issue, I cannot read road signs clearly until right next to them. Reading is a chore, and sitting in my living room watching TV and not seeing lettering clearly is a frustrating outcome. I have floaters, eye sight that changes and very sensitive to lights in stores and at times, a tipsy feeling because the eyes are not adjusted to each other... I personally don't recommend these high cost lenses. Two glasses techs have told me at least 10-15 people regret these lenses and the are unsatisfied. This is not to say some may be happy with them, but I definitely had much better vision before the surgery. The refering doctor I believe is really trying to help me. He has seen me countless times and is very kind and I believe sincere. I feel a refund is in order if my eyes do not result in quality vision and being able to drive safely. This has impacted the quality of my life and I cannot endorse these lenses. Other people need to hear about these high cost lenses and NOT be oversold on them!
