Dr May is remarkable and so caring. Great bedside manner. I really love this doctor!

Mauro L.

I was personally taken care of by Dr. Assil, Dr. Gaur, and Dr. Harris, all outstanding doctors. Their knowledge and expertise are exceptional, but what impressed me just as much was their genuine compassion and the way they treated me as a person. I also want to recognize Cal, the manager, for his exceptional customer service and personal attention. I couldn’t recommend this eye institute highly enough

Reuven D.

It was my first visit and it was very good. I hope that my future visits will be similar!

Dr Assil did a great job on my eye surgery and follow-up Thank you

Keeya B.

I am so glad I chose Dr. Gaur and her staff to take care of my vision correction surgery. The process was a painless as possible, I got all my many questions answered, the staff was comforting and even held my hand during the procedure. Dr. Gaur’s reputation is well earned - I’d recommend her practice for anyone getting LASIK, PRK, or any other eye care. They are worth fighting Beverly Hills traffic for.

Tikeeya B.

Thank you to all the staff for being professional, kind, and supportive. I felt I was in the best hands throughout the process and I enjoy coming back for my follow up visit because everyone is pleasant and efficient. Dr. Gaur is personable and very informative. Talia was very comforting and made the process easy to understand. The front desk staff is very pleasant and competent. Each of the assistants did a great job and I love how well ran the office is. Thank you all again for taking care of my eyes!!
