His office was over crowed and running way behind. Staff did not document incident and download CT scan.

Don't recommend this practice, no back up for emergencies just his cell number.

I highly recommend Dr Fante. He recently performed cataract surgery on my right eye which restored…read moreclear 20/20 vision. He performed laser surgery to correct an astigmatism in the same eye and at the same time as the cataract surgery. The surgery was quick, highly successful and I experienced almost no pain in in surgery or during the following week after surgery. The morning after surgery I was seeing very clearly out of my right eye. I'm returning for laser / cataract surgery on my left eye, with the confidence of knowing I can trust Dr Fante and can expect wonderful results. I first saw Dr Fante several years ago for a condition that was extremely rare and hard to diagnose. Dr Fante was extremely helpful in the process of diagnosing the cause of the eye symptoms, which included temporary blindness in one eye over the course of several months. Dr Fante followed my case through by referring me to other doctors who helped determine the exact cause of my problem. The final result was 100% restoration of my 20/20 vision. The office staff and medical technicians are all very professional and friendly at Sansum Clinic (now Sutter Health).

I highly recommend her.

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.

But now 20 years later and both Dr Shapiro and his assistant Stacey have been absolutely remarkable and responsive. I'm having Vision issues and thought who's going to provide me with the best referral of who to see. Provided with the name of top ophthalmologist Dr Lee Wan in Oxnard who is absolutely amazing and really listen to my concern even though he initially thought everything looked good. Stacy called from Dr Shapiro's office a few different times saying they were concerned and just wanted to follow up that I had pursued additional appointments and was drilling down on my vision issues. The concern was absolutely amazing since I haven't been there in 20 plus years. I've never experienced anything like it. Without revealing too much Medical I would not be as far along seeing specialist after specialist, down to UCLA Stein Eye Institute Etc without their recommendations and guidance as I've seen so many specialists here in Ventura Thank you Stacey and Dr Shapiro for stressing the importance of Immediate Care and drilling down to get to the root cause. It's been a hell of a journey and I'm not done.

I spent at most 15 minutes in the nice lobby area before being called to the exam room. He spent quite a lot of time diagnosing the problem with my eye and then efficiently removed something that was blocking a tear duct, and gave me some prescription eye drops for the underlying problem, with instructions to call back next morning to check the progress. By the next morning, my eye was much, much better!

This was the first year it was recommended I need bifocals at 43. I was shocked! He explained with my reliance on my iPad and smart phone my regular prescription would be too strong for reading and that's why such weak prescription on the bottom. Considering I can't make out the letter E on the top of the chart and then attempting to read on the top of my glasses he was right. From experience other doctors miss nuances like this. It's where an average doctor moves up a star for having reviewed my chart well enough to know I now do my magazine and newspaper subscriptions reading on my iPad Mini. Several years ago he did my sister's post-op care and noticed an infection before she was even aware of it yet. That gave him the fifth star as I was in that visit.
