Don't make my mistake and come here for LASIK. I was extremely overcorrected, had severe pain,…read morecouldn't see well enough to drive at night, and my quality of life was a mess for 8 months and I'm still dealing with the repercussions a year later. I did months of follow ups, where Dr. Katsef kept saying, "I have no idea why this happened." and "Wow, you're taking this really well." My vision finally settled around 8 months later, at a more 'normal' but still high overcorrection, where Dr Katsef requested doing a second surgery under the same conditions, without understanding what went wrong the first time. I went to other LASIK Drs to consult on my situation, and learned that this isn't uncommon for his office and his equipment. Now, instead of taking his offer of a corrective surgery I am going elsewhere with better technology to avoid risking another 6 months of pain and bad vision. Don't get me wrong, touch-ups after LASIK aren't uncommon, but this was something much worse to the point where I would rather pay someone else for a second surgery, which is not cheap, then come back here for free. Katsef's office initially approved and then denied my request for a refund, pivoting to now tell me that my experience was actually within the expected outcomes of his surgery.

As it turns out, Dr. Kolarczyk wasn't any more expensive than these other options, and was significantly more thorough. In fact, I found out that I have an astigmatism--slight enough for others to have missed, but bad enough to affect my eyesight. I came back for a second fitting (at no extra cost) of a lens they ordered and... wow... suddenly I could see much better out of my "bad" eye than I had ever thought possible. I highly recommend these folks.

The supporting staff made the check-in and pre-exam process smooth and comfortable, and they were all very friendly and efficient. Dr. Castellarin was incredibly thorough and took the time to clearly explain my diagnosis and treatment options in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and he made sure all of my questions were answered. His calm, reassuring approach made a stressful situation much easier to navigate. The procedure itself was handled with great care and precision, and the staff continued to check in and ensure I was comfortable throughout the visit. It's clear that everyone in the office works together as a team and truly prioritizes patient care. I'm very grateful for the level of expertise, professionalism, and compassion I received from both Dr. Castellarin and his team, and I would highly recommend California Retina Consultants to anyone in need of retina care.
