Hello Yelpers!Dr. David Aizuss is the (eye) man. He has been taking care of my eyes, and the eyes of many Angelenos, for quite some time. On the faculty at UCLA School of Medicine, Dr. Aizuss knows his eyes, has a great bedside manner, and takes the time to personally check all the readings and measurements taken by the optical staff. I would not trust my eyes to another doc. Much has been said about the awful Encino office parking situation, and it's true -- a dud. Valet only and the office does not validate. Hold you Meters about on Ventura Boulevard and, for the brave, Ralph's yawning parking lot adjoins the office building. Buy a bagel and pop in for an exam? I'll let you, and your conscience, decide. Yes I do it every time.The busy and bustling office is composed of four or five doctors, but Dr. Aizuss has been my go-to from day one. Optical staff take initial measurements but Dr. Aizuss examines the eyes. I prefer an ophthalmologist to an optician or optometrist, as the ophthalmologist is a medical doctor trained to examine for disease of the eye and recommend treatment or medical procedures, if necessary. If your health insurance covers an ophthalmologist, by all means take advantage! Dr. Aizuss is an eye surgeon and, someday when it is cataract time for me, you'll find my car in the Ralph's parking lot. I always buy something. A hit! More
During May 2013, I had cataract eye surgery. My doctor is David Aizuss with OAV. I am a senior, and had felt that I was losing some of my vision. When I went it for a checkup with Dr. Aizuss, he told me I had advanced cataracts in both eyes and would need lens replacement surgery. His staff scheduled me for the two surgeries (two weeks apart) with two post-op visits after each surgery. I am 100 percent happy with the surgeries and care provided by Dr. Aizuss and his staff. He may well be the best eye surgeon in the world, and I recommend him as highly as I can to anyone who needs the gift of having cataracts removed through surgery by a knowledgeable, skilled, experienced, and caring doctor..
