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

From the moment I entered the office the people were so nice. I had a very short wait before I was taken back for some eye tests and then Dr. Elkins came in to check my problem. He is so pleasant and seems as if he listens to everything I said. Then he told me what to do for relief and said please advise him in a day or two how my eyes are. He called me the next day to see how I was doing. That’s the way old-time doctors used to look after us growing up. A wonderful doctor and office. More

The reason I have been going to Dr. Elkins for my eye examinations is because he is one of the finest Doctors I have ever met. He listens to your concerns and then addresses them, and gives you a complete examination where you feel that nothing has been left to chance. AND, I have never met a more wonderful staff of people. Dr. Elkins staff ( all of them ) are so kind, so caring, so helpful, and most of all so professional in doing their jobs. I ALWAYS leave Dr. Elkins office feeling happy that I have a team like that to take care of my eyes. More

Review from M.H.  |  Source: Demandforce  |  Oct 19, 2022

Dr. Elkins is very knowledgeable, thorough and answers questions in a manner that is easy to understand. The only thing I would suggest is that for individuals who are extremely near sighted, such as myself, that after he has completed his examination, he allows time for the patient to put their contact lens back in their eyes so the patient can actually see his face as he explains his findings. It is very disconcerting to be looking at the doctor and only be able to see his extremely blurry form. More

Doctor Elkins and all assistants were very good but your patient portal did not provide good information as was advertised. I had to look up the meaning of the medical terms as listed such as pseudophakia, etc. The site did not mention that doctor prescribed and sold me a product used for dry eyes. I am 89 but still curious about all things. More

I feel that I had a very thorough eye exam. In order to further assist me with my dry eye problem, Dr. Elkins placed plugs in the upper lids of mr eyes to create more moisture in my eyes. I was happy with the exam and his professionalism. More

I was seen on time. Although all the initial stuff was handled by folks other than Dr. Elkins (I don't know if they are call technicians or whatever), they knew what they were doing, performed all the tests professionally but NOT in such a way that I felt like a pawn being pushed from one test to the next. In other words, I felt human the whole time. By the time Dr. Elkins came in, yes,, it was only about 5-7 minutes of his time, but he sat there and looked through the test results, looked at a potential problem, explained how my eyes were doing, and whether or not I needed followup and when. He asked some personal questions about how my year had gone, recalled that I run and ski and asked me about that. What more could he do? I am quite satisfied. More

I was referred by Neal Nakagiri years ago and love this place. Dr Elkins gives great advice and makes sure my family can see. lol. My wife had lasik a few years ago and is extremely happy. I consulted Dr. Elkins and he states my eyes will not be a great fit for lasik and gave me glasses. I love it and can see much better. Yesterday, I took my daughter for her first time.The staff is excellent and friendly (in both locations). Both locations fit us perfectly. I will always refer future patients to Dr. Elkins. More

I have been wearing glasses since I've been 2 yrs. old, and then 40 plus years in contact lenses. Very very far sighted.  Needless to say kinda blind.  I also was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes.   I went to see Dr. Elkins, what an awesome experience.  He is a fabulous doctor with very impressive credentials.  He has the nicest personality and the best bedside manner. I was seen at the Encino and West Hills offices and had surgery done at Freedom Surgery Center.  My results are unbelievable, for the first time in forever, my vision is crystal clear.   If I could give ten stars I would.  The care from everyone surpassed any I have had from any medical team I can remember.  I cannot praise Dr. Elkins and his entire staff enough!
