I'd been going back and forth for over 3 years with 2 well known large eye clinics which tested me for glaucoma every 6 months with no definitive diagnosis or treatment. 1st visit with Dr. Matootchi and he was able to say with certainty I have it...While having Cataract Surgery he put in stents to relieve pressure and my eyes actually feel so much better. The procedures were painless and healing was fast. Wish I'd done this years ago.

I have been coming to kaufman eye institute for glasses for several years. I highly recommend them…read more The front desk staff is friendly, and if there is going to be a wait they let me know. Although it's only rarely happened in the past few years, they offered me water when they were running late. I thought this was nice touch. Running behind doesn't happen often, but they are prepared to accommodate you just in case. Jennifer, the technician, worked me up prior to seeing the doctor. She is very sweet! After Jennifer was finished, I saw dr. Kaufman. He was personable and kind. He said my glasses prescription had changed and my eyes were overall healthy. Next, I went to the optical and they had a great selection of glasses. Misha, the optician, helped me pick some out frames. She didn't pressure me into buying anything which was refreshing. Other optical shops have made me feel pressured to buy expensive frames I did not want. Not the case at kaufman eye institute! I ended up buying a cute pair of glasses. I no longer dread my annual eye exams, thanks to kaufman eye for making my appointments such a pleasant experience.

If you go there your going to spend about 2 hours for what should be a 15 minute visit, EVERY TIME YOU GO, and they will have you coming back for test after test after test, sometimes to do the same test over, (And you will pay the co pay again) and they want you back every month or so and the co payments add up. You go in and wait, wait, wait. Unbelievable!!! Don't go there unless you have a lot of time and a lot of money. I will be looking for more reliable eye care else ware.

I am like okay so then she hands me the paperwork and it sys that I need to get my eyes dialated, I said I do not want to get dialated she said it is a requirement here, I am like steike two noone told me this on the phone either!!! She said I will see if we can get an exception i said nd if not just cancel this appointment, usually dilation is an option not requirement!

I had PanOptix placed in my eye Feb 7th, 2020. This lens did not work for me, I did have 20/20 vision, but the rings and halos ruined my night vision and I was in great distress. The surgeon that placed it in my eye would not remove it. I was running out of time as I was almost 5 months post op from PanOptix and this lens needed to get removed quickly if it were going to be successfully removed and replaced with a Crystalens. I began my search for a doctor that would replace the lens and give me back my beautiful night vision. Dr. Mahootchi listened to me, heard my despair and told me I didn't have to live like this and that he would do a lens exchange for me. Because I felt so confident in him through reading of his experience and all his wonderful reviews on many forums I decided to take the trip across the country, even during a pandemic and see him! This proved to be a great decision! He immediately set me at ease, I loved his entire staff as well! Surgery was completely successfulI I now have 20/20 in that eye with beautiful night vision! I am beyond grateful! Thank you Dr. Mahootchi!
