Review from T.O.  |  Source: Demandforce  |  Nov 02, 2024

Probably one of the best experiences at the West Hills office. Marc took me back for "pictures" of my eyes. He is very personable. Next Dr. Iverson started my exam to get me ready for Dr. Aizuss. She is patient and kind even when you can't decide between lens 1 and lens 2. Additionally she went back without frustration when I wasn't sure. Then his assistant (Dark hair 20ish) set me up. Of course, Dr Aizuss was amazing as always, Jeanie Clark called to set up Cataract surgery before I even arrived home! Efficient, professional and nice all the way around. More

Dr. Elkins is an excellent doctor. He is friendly and experienced. He explores all options with his patients and makes them feel both confident and comfortable in their decisions. I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Elkins and it was actually a wonderful experience. The Freedom Surgery Center where the procedure took place was excellent. The staff at Dr. Elkiins' 2 offices, along with the surgery center are like well-oiled machines. They have great systems in place to take care of their patients. I would and have recommended Dr. Elkins and Ophthalmology Associates to my friends and to my family. More

dr Elkins has been my dr for sometime now I naturally prefer him when things come up concerning my eyes. It doesn't take. away fromthe fact he has surrounded himself with other capable dr's he wouldn't have it any other way. My visit with dr Huynh was equally enjoyableInformative and professional. A true asset to the team of ophthalmologists there. The help provided by the teams that support the dr'swas commendable.. Very helpful and professional. I thank you all......I want to say a few extra words as to my eye care under Dr. Elkins. He to me is wonderful credit to the profession. I knew I had found the right doctor to get me right with my eyes. The cataract surgery restored my eyes to 20/20. I did disappoint him in not making regular visits concerning my eyes thru the years>Sorry about that. You can rely on a more cooperative patient for the future.Thats it........Im am very happy with Ophthalmology Associates ......Number # 1.........thank you....f. Matranga More

Another outstanding visit to O/A of the Valley. I had cataract surgery over a year ago and still have startlingly great results. This visit Dr. A zapped some artifacts in my left eye to give me even better vision. He used the YAG lazer to zap-out some of the floaters and clouded areas at the back of my eye. It is too early to see any results, but, the entire experience was painless and I was treated wonderfully by all of the staff. What a terrific Medical/Eye Office and what a terrific place to go for the best eye care and surgical procedures - better than all the rest....Eric More

I have been a patient with Dr. Zeegen for approximately for 30 years and I have complete trust with him. He is 100%knowledgeable in every aspect of the eye problem that I have had. He did cataract surgery in both of my eyes and to this day I have not had a problem. I do have dry eyes at times but he suggested that I use eye drops, and the drops help me. My appointment with Dr. Zeegen have always been above board. His associates who help me before I see Dr. Zeegen are also very knowledgeable and I have trust with them too. I would recommend Dr. Zeegen to anyone who needs a fine eye doctor. More

I highly recommend OAV! My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Aizuss for about 3 years now. He is the best in his field! He is knowledgeable, thorough and very kind. He is also a perfectionist - so you know you are in the most competent hands. He performed cataract surgery on me about 2 years ago and I could not be more pleased with his surgical skills, his anesthesiologist and the after-care I received. One of my eyes decided to be wonky during the procedure and would not stay still with the twilight anesthetic. Dr. Aizuss and his anesthesiologist quickly (lightening fast!) worked in tandem to painlessly inject a specific area and finished the cataract surgery on that eye. Both the staff in his West Hills office are amazing as are his team at the surgical center he uses. I have to believe that all the doctors at OAV are just as good as Dr. Aizuss. I have found my eye care "home" with Dr. Aizuss and his great team! More
