I had another very unpleasant experience with Dr. Feinfield. One of my eyes was very irritated. It felt like there was a foreign object and was excessively tearing. The doctor knew I was working out with heavy weights - we had discussed it when I had my cataract surgery. He asked me if I was working out with heavy weights. I told him I was. As I am getting older I am trying to maintain my muscle mass. He told be to stop. I questioned his idea of lifting light weights for many reps. I told him that current studies said that was a waste of time. This is when he became nasty. "I obviously don't know what I'm talking about. I've only been doing this for 30 years." Ironically I injured my bicep just after that and had to take two months off from weight lifting and my eye didn't improve. I changed ophthalmologists. I went to see an associate at Dr. Colvard-Kandavel's office. A large, well run office. The doctor I saw there, as well as Dr. Colvard, said my weight lifting had nothing to do with it. read more

Dr. Feinfield did my upper & lower Blepharoplasty (eyelid) surgery in March of 2020 (just before the pandemic shutdown, so I had plenty of time to heal & not go out in public). I wanted a natural appearing surgery, which Dr. Feinfield accomplished. I have always had hooded eyelids, & don't have a problem with it. My issue is how heavy they've gotten with age. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Additionally, Dr. Feinfield was always reachable and addressed all of my concerns. I highly recommend him! read more

See all

Dr. Feinfield and his team were absolutely wonderful and professional. He is such an excellent doctor and I'm so thrilled with how my cataract surgery went. I highly recommend Dr. Feinfield..! Miraculous! read more

This is a review specifically about Erica who is part of the office staff. She was extremely rude and condescending in every conversation I had with her. She was dismissive and utterly unconcerned when I had to postpone my pterygium surgery that I was paying for out of pocket. Although I liked Dr. Feinfield enough to continue my treatment, I will not be rescheduling the surgery in that office. Who you have to represent you as the initial point of contact is important, particularly when one is dealing with health issues. I'm certain that there are enough skilled and gracious people out there who can do a better job. read more

My wife and I both had multiple extremely successful eye procedures ( cataract & eyelid)!with Dr. Robert Feinfield at his Burbank's surgical center. Dr. Robert Feinfield is The Best of the Best Ophthalmologist in all of Southern California. I wish I could give him Ten Stars review. My wife and I are so so thankful for his caring and exceptional medical expertise Most Grateful, Gholam Jasemian read more

I love this guy. Dr. Finefield is an ace. He can examine your eyes and fix them or refer you to someone who will; I had my lens replacement done by him - precise with a gentle touch. He stays on top of my file because I have diabetes; that a nice personal touch. Great office great staff, five thumbs-up for Dr. Finefield Vinny Guastaferro read more

I underwent cataract surgery by Dr. Feinfield. The surgery was completely pain free. Dr. Feinfield did a superb job and his staff were extremely thorough, thoughtful and supportive. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing cataract surgery or other treatments for the eyes. He and his staff are outstanding. Rand Harris read more

Pitiful, uncaring. Impossible to get an appointment. The office staff is rude and not responsive to helping patients with surgery consultation scheduling. After waiting over 1 month to get an appointment, my time slot was canceled less than 24 hours in advance without an apology or offer for another appointment time/date. They told me to "call back" to reschedule. I guess I will need to try to find another doctor. read more

(This is a review for Dr. Feinfield himself and my experiences below were in the Burbank Office.) The first time I saw Dr. Feinfield, I was completely blind in my left eye and we soon discovered that I had a severe case of Iritis. Dr. Feinfield assured me that I was going to be OK and prescribed a very aggressive steriod treatment. Within 48 hours, I began seeing out of my left again. It's been a long, slow road to recovery and we had some other complications along the way, but Dr. Feinfield was always very responsive to my calls; in some cases he even asked me to come in immediately so he can see what the issue was. I was impressed with his thoroughness in trying to figure out the root of the issue by recommending me to do a slew of tests. I also liked that he took time in explaining to me what was happening. Not only has Dr. Feinfield been great, so is his staff. Sometimes they warn me that he might be late because the doctor had a busy day, but I never waited more than 10 minutes to see him. read more

I just had my second cataract surgery. I can see perfectly! No more contacts ever!!! Everyone in both offices were kind and efficient. I love the people at the Pacific Surgery cCenter (warm, kind, and caring). They put warm blankets on me while I waited my turn (not long). Dr Feinfield is warm, knowledgeable and takes time to answer questions. He has a lovely bedside manner. I recommend him highly. read more

Begining of January 2022, Dr, Robert Feinfield performed cataract surgery on my mom. i can truly say he is very intelligent and good surgeon. we are very happy with the result, therefore today we booked another appointment to do the other eye. The whole staff of dr. office and clinic are extremely kind, nice and knowledgeable. Thank you dr. Robert Feinfield for your excellent job. read more

Dr. Feinfield is professional, helpful, and kind. He paid close attention to my concerns and answered all my questions. Everyone in his office and in the surgery center were polite and caring. They also provided me with clearly written instructions on what I needed to do both before and after surgery. I am not very brave and the entire experience was easy, painless, and successful. read more

Professional,professional and professional. Great attention, on time. Perfect service. My surgery was great, follow up calls. Cannot say better things. read more

I am so Happy with my cataract surgery outcome. DR FEINFIELD did my right eye 8 weeks ago and my left eye 5 weeks ago. As of today, I can read small print on a bottle, list of ingredients on food labels, read a book, use my computer, smartphone, watch tv, read street signs before I get to them, and glare at night is way down. All of this without glasses. I am 79 and have never worn glasses or used reading glasses, so when I was told I needed surgery and would have to have glasses for either nearsight or farsight vision I was hysterical. My friend was with Dr FEINFIELD and suggested I see him. I did. Before I went, I did my research. His resume is impressive. His years of practice, education, training, techniques, teaching other doctors, affiliations, and staying current and up to date on whats new in the world of eyes Is outstanding. I was also impressed with his 5 star rating from patients for being satisfied for the procedures they had. My surgery was painless, no complications, no side effects. ( it did take my eyes a couple of weeks to settle in, I could see right away, but sometimes they were clear as a bell ,and next I might have blurred vision till I blinked several times, and I had a few light flashes. I was told the eyes and brain were getting used to one another and they were right. After a couple of weeks it stopped and now are great) I have had 5 visits. All on time. Office staff is friendly, but very busy. I found DR FEINFIELD to be very nice and friendly, and thorough in his exam. My eyes were checked for any and all diseases. He discussed what he found, what he thought I needed to do. No pressure to make a decision right then and there. His eye surgery office is fantastic. It is sure to put you at ease. The staff is a staff that likes being together, knows what they are doing and treats you like your an old friend but they are still professional. All in all, I can just say, I was pleased and happy with my surgery and with DR FEINFIELD. read more

DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THE POSITIVES ON HERE. He's a short miserable doctor that spends no time with his patients. Doesn't listen or give quality care. Today was the last time I will ever go back to him. I tried to have patience with him, giving him the benefit of the doubt but no he's really terrible and has no beside manner. AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

I have been going to Dr. Feinfield for a number of years, most recently for cataract surgery. Dr. Feinfield has always been the consummate professional. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and very clear in his explanations and answers to my questions. I most recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Feinfield at the Pacific Surgery Center. I chose to have the trifocal IOL implanted. The staff there was kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. All of this combined put my anxiety to rest. By the time I was wheeled in for surgery, I was completely relaxed and at ease. Dr. Feinfield and his staff only took a few minutes to complete the surgery on my left eye. I was surprised at how seamless, quick, and painless the surgery was. I came back a couple of weeks later for surgery in my right eye, and the experience was identical and equally satisfying. If you have cataracts, I highly recommend you call Dr. Feinfield's office. I believe you will be very happy with the experience and the outcome. read more

My nightmare cataract surgery went badly. I'm very unhappy. I went in to have the right eye's cataracts removed first. Afterwards, feeling pain in that eye, bad vision and seeing an odd floating glob out of eye, Dr. Feinfield then told me I have to go back into surgery again right away to get a missed fragment. I do the second surgery and still have the same pain, bad vision and the huge floating glob in my vision. Then I'm told I have to go in for a third surgery on the same eye to get a fragment again. I unhappily immediately left and got a second opinion. That new doctor got me in quickly for my third surgery and was successful on getting that fragment he saw. He used a different technique of lowering me slowly backwards that worked perfectly to help remove the fragment. I still have a floating mass in my vision that drives me crazy. It's like a mass of goblins and cobwebs. I find myself closing that eye often just to give it a break. We had bad verbal communication too. At first, the plan was to get a lens that allowed me to read out of that right eye and then shoot towards 20-20 out of left eye. He wrote that down then. However, after talking to people who had successful cataract surgery, I decided to go for 20-20 in both eyes. I told him that, and then again at the operation morning, but for some reason we miscommunicated. I had a feeling he didn't hear me but figured he must have. After the first operation, I asked why not 20-20 and he referred back to our original plan which I thought he understood I had later changed. I can't read well with the new lens, so it does not work for easy reading and I never got 20-20 vison. I asked if he could change it to 20-20 when he went in for the second surgery but he said he'd rather not. Now I'm hearing about folds and cornea issues and will be seeing a specialist about that. My other eye, still remains undone. This story continues....I regret the outcome results and the extraordinary time I'm spending on it. UPDATE: April 3, 2019 I just finished my 15th visit to the other doctor I used after I unhappily left Dr. Feinfield. While I am extremely happy with the replacement doctor recommended to me by a friend, I am left still very pissed off at my visits with Feinfield. I went through hell with my eye pain, discomfort and the sheer amount of time wasted with over 20 visits total from all the surgeries and followups and the many eye drops. I still have issues from my first surgery that I will be addressing on my next update. I also will be taking legal action soon. read more

If you want to go here you'll have to take half a day off work. You will be treated like cattle, shoved into one room after another, and most of the staff is incredibly rude read more

Very happy with Dr. Feinfeld and his amazing staff! Everyone was so friendly. Not only was getting an appointment so quick & easy, but he really took extra time to answer all of my questions during the appointment. I would recommend him to everyone in need of a great eye doctor!! read more

I have been seeing (literally) Dr. Feinfeld for more years than I can recall. I only trust my eye healrh to him. He is the best eye doctor around. He is so knowledgeable, caring, thorough and the office staff are always supportive and kind. I feel so lucky that I have him in my life. I found it quite odd to read reviews of the contrary. I have found his services to be cosistant for so many years that I believe those reviews were meant for some other doctor and are there in err. Dr Feindeld is a doctor worth keeping and trusting in. I do and all of his many loyal patients will agree. I have even had many people recommend him to me but he already was my doctor. You will be happy you went to him. read more

I unfortunately had a bit of an eye emergency on a Sunday on a holiday weekend and Dr. Feinfeld was the doctor on call. He returned my call right away and I was able to meet him at the office shortly after. He never once made me feel like I was a bother for bugging him on his time off and he demeanor in general just put me at ease. I didn't feel rushed and was able to ask him all of my questions. He is not my usual doctor (I have only seen Dr.Yates once before) but I will gladly return to him again (but hopefully not too soon! ;-) ). read more

Office staff is rude, condescending and the reason I will no longer see Dr Feinfeld who otherwise is fine.

I first met Dr. Feinfield in 2004 when he did my Lasik procedure. Prior...I used to ask my optometrist about having this done. He strongly recommended against it. He wouldn't have it done, as the procedure is not perfected yet, and I could end up with issues that are not correctable. But tired of glasses, not being able to swim, wear sun glasses, etc., I decided to have this done. Nervous as I kept hearing my opto's warnings, but it went perfect! No issues at all. I went back to my opto for my annual check up. He was surprised when I told him I had it done. He examined my eyes, and actually told me had I not told him, he might not have even detected it was done...he told me I found a GREAT doctor, as others are often easy to detect. Moving forward 10 years...my opto detected a pterygium. It was small at first, and it was suggested to leave it be for now. But my last visit he thought it was time to have it looked at. So....back to Dr. Feinfield. He agreed with my opto, so went in to have this completed. In and out, follow up the next day, and I'm about 3 months out, with no issues or complications. I plan on going in soon to have the other eye done now, and will be happy to trust my vision to Dr. Feinfield with utmost confidence. read more

Came to Dr. Berg after being referred to him by a family member. I went in and had a consultation to have LASIK done and we made an appointment to have it done. Fast forward to the day of the procedure where I came in to have my vision corrected. He placed me into a room and gave me a pill to take and wait 20 minutes until the medicine takes effect. He started the procedure and then I noticed he was having some problems with my left eye and kept going back and forth with it and kept losing auction on my eye. He completed my right eye and told me that he was having complications with my left eye and that I should come back in a week. When I got up the white part of my left eye was covered in blood and looked as if it was from a movie. He corrected my left eye a week later and the redness stayed. My entire eye stayed red for over 2 weeks which forced me to have to wear glasses to prevent people from staring at me in public. I went back to him a month later for a check up since my left eye is always red and looks as if I have permanent pink-eye. He said that it should go away shortly and that it's nothing. I went back several months later since the redness was not going away and he said that it's a blood vessel that was affected and that my eye will stay like that!!! He has ZERO BEDSIDE MANNER and is a very arrogant and rude person!! I later found out that one of my friends went to him also and had many issues with him and now has problems due to going to him. If you're looking to ruin the only set of eyes that you have then by all means go to Dr. Berg! If you're looking to correctly have LASIK done and not have issues please go elsewhere!! read more

Greeted and taken into room quickly. Janice was very thorough and REALLY sweet and Dr. Feinfield treated me and I feel better already. I was suffering migraines and after some Botox injections, I felt instant relief. All the testing done prior to that procedure were thorough and my visit was really pleasant. Thanks Dr. Feinfield! Robin Wilk read more

Will never ever go back to him again (have been a patient patient for years) but I've passed my breaking point. He's notoriously late. Usually he's at least 45 mins late. This time it was 1 hour and fifteen minutes waiting to even be seen. Over 10 People who came in post my appointment were seen before me. Staff is horrifically rude as well. Go only if you have a lot of time on your hands and don't mind being treated poorly. Apparently per the other Yelp reviews - I'm not the only one that feels this way read more

I had the new Ilux treatment a few weeks ago. It's a procedure for dry eyes. It did not work for me. Because I couldn't find a lot of reviews on this procedure at the time I was doing it, I kind of felt I needed to give a review. Honestly it did not work for me and I think my eyes are worse. It's very painful and I am very sorry to say I wouldn't waste the pain or the money. It may work for others and if so, I'd like to know if anyone has had success with it. Sometimes things work for someone and not for others ! It wouldn't be surprising... unfortunately I feel very disappointed. read more

Went in for a comprehensive eye exam. Friendly, professional staff, and Dr. Feinfield was great!

Kept me waiting. Made me feel uncomfortable. Gave me convent form for wrong eye procedure. Run away from here.

My 83 year old mother has open angle glaucoma; her previous eye Doctor suggested cataract surgery, so we went to Dr. Feinfeld to seek a second opinion. I concur with the other negative reviews about how unprofessional the office is. He never really "told" us anything and referred us to another specialist. The specialist would take 2-3 hours for an appointment. My mother is not in good health and doesn't have the stamina to do all of these things. In addition, I have three children and work part time. The final straw was when I had to cancel my mothers yearly exam because she had the flu; the receptionist chastised and berated me, refusing to refill her eye drop prescription that she's been on for 10 years! My mothers general practitioner was so shocked and annoyed, he called in the refill himself and referred us to another doctor in a more pleasant situation. read more

I was surprised to read less than stellar reviews about Dr. Feinfeild. I just went in on Monday to consult about a chalazion I've had on my upper eyelid for a very long time. I was hesitant to even see a dr., as the horror stories I read on the internet about having these things removed were not encouraging. Dr. Feinfield was very clear about the options; he was very honest and straightforward, not pushing the minor surgery to take it off, saying if it didn't bother me it could stay with no problem. I opted to have it removed right then and there, and it was quick and relatively painless. I wanted to wait to write my review after it was totally healed, so I could be sure it all worked out great, and it did. I highly recommend him to anyone, and would go back to him myself. read more

Dr. Feinfield, when you actually get to see him is an ok doctor. Office staff is rude, office is run down, the wait is interminable - at least 1 hour in waiting room and then longer in exam room - and really - my time is valuable, too. After being a patient for 15+ years finally had enough today when I arrived on time and after waiting 30 minutes was told there were patients in his exam rooms, 2 patients in the waiting room ahead of me...etc - I left and did not reschedule. To think that a patient should wait an hour + is outrageous. read more

My elderly father needed to have his eyes checked, and we were lucky enough to have Dr. Feinfield recommended to us. Because Dr. Feinfield came so enthusiastically recommended, our expectations were quite high. Well, Dr. Feinfield and his office staff exceeded our high expectations. Dr. Feinfield performed cataract surgery on my father, and the results have been wonderful. The procedure went very smoothly, and the post-operative healing has been great. Dr. Feinfield is warm and gracious and caring, and the members of his office staff are equally pleasant and helpful. My family and I are very grateful for Dr. Feinfield's care and kindness, and for the care and kindness of his office staff. read more

I have been very satisfied with Dr. Feinfield and his wonderful staff. They are so and efficient and very nice. They have all the pretests completed and Dr. Feinfield reviews them with you and takes time to answer any questions. He is not an alarmist!!! He did my cataract surgery two years ago and I'm still enjoying it. I couldn't be happier after I've been here. read more

I developed an infected cornea and having just moved here from New Jersey had to find an ophthalmologist for treatment. Since I was staying in Burbank I found Dr. Feinfield. I have to say I was treated in the most caring, courteous and professional manner by Dr. Feinfield and his staff. I was always advised to "come right back in" if things didn't feel right or if I didn't feel things we're progressing well. Wait times were always short and the staff would always work with you on setting appointments. I can tell you that as of today I am symptom free and feeling great. Thank you Dr. Feinfield! read more

Dr. Robert Feinfield is a very arrogant doctor. He needs to learn how to speak to the patients politely. I understand he is an expert in his line of work but that does not give him the right to underestimate his patients. He needs to treat ALL the patients with the same respect regardless of their gender, ethnicity or background. I am not a person to talk back and disrespect the person ... but on second thought I should have said something to him to make him understand he needs to talk politely and respectfully. read more

Not only is Dr. Feinfield an amazing doctor, but he is a radio personality as well! I really enjoyed his show, July 6th on KCSN-FM. For 2 hours he interviewed and played music with the great drummer, Jim Keltner. The interview was personable, enjoyable and informative. I hope to listen to Dr. Feinfield interviewing many fascinating personalities!! read more

I consider myself fortunate to have found him and to be counted as one of his patients. Sincerely, Jody Berges read more
