"Dr Aizuss and his staff provide exceptional care. From scheduling to post op visit, everything is seamless. By the following day my vision was completly restored after the removal of the cataract. All appointments and procedures are on time and there are plenty of reminders of proper protocols for the patient. I cannot recommend them highly enough and I do have a source of comparison to help me realize this practice deserves all superlative accolades!!"
"My wife and I have been going to Ophthalmology Associates for around 18 years. They run an extremely well organized office with a great staff. Dr. Zeegen is the best. Keep up the great work guys, looking forward to seeing you all at our next appointments."
"On Mother’s day I had an injury to my left eye that necessitated a visit to West Hills hospital with excruciating pain after seeing me they gave me pain meds and antibiotics that did not do the trick I call Dr Kramar he was paged and offered to see me in the office within a short time he checked the eye placed a lens in the eye to relieve the pain and we both were able to celebrate Mother’s day, Dr. Kramer deserves 6 stars. What a great Doctor I highly recommend him plus he is a fantastic surgeon."
"Ophthalmology Associates Of The Valley is the absolute best! Dr. Elkins was beyond amazing and really took the time to educate me through all my options. Dr. Elkins did my Lasik surgery. It was quick and painless! He walked me through the entire surgery which helped me feel very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Also, I don’t want to forget to mention Ana (Dr. Elkins surgery coordinator) she was professional and very sweet. She coordinated everything seamlessly which I appreciated. I’d definitely recommend them to all my family and friends."
"I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Huynh, who recently performed a DSAEK surgery on my father-in-law. From the initial consultation to the post-operative check-ups, Dr. Huynh was nothing short of amazing. Not only did he explain the procedure in detail, but he also took the time to answer all of our questions and address our concerns. The surgery itself was a complete success, and my father-in-law’s vision has improved significantly. Dr. Huynh truly has a gift for what he does, and his expertise in the field of cornea surgery is unparalleled. We are so thankful for his care and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of this type of surgery. Thank you, Dr. Huynh, for giving my father-in-law his vision back!"
