Dr. Richardson

There may be no higher compliment than praise from your peers. That’s why the Assil Gaur Eye Institute (AGEI) is so grateful for our relationships with local optometrists.

 

One such Los Angeles-based optometrist is Dr. Danielle Richardson, who has referred patients with ocular diseases to AGEI for the past six years. Her patients’ conditions run the gamut, from retinal problems, cataracts, refractive issues, and eyelid conditions to those who want surgical vision correction such as LASIK, PRK, or RLE.

 

“I send pretty much all my referral patients,” says Richardson, adding that she’s referred over 100 patients to AGEI,

Who is Dr. Richardson? 

Dr. Richardson is a West Hollywood-based glaucoma-certified optometrist specializing in LASIK surgery co-management and modern eye care issues like contact lenses, dry eye, and digital eye strain.

 

In addition, Dr. Richardson is an author and wellness entrepreneur. She has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, and optical industry publications, including Eyecare Business and InVision magazine.

 

She also regularly contributes to publications on work-life balance, holistic patient care, and stress reduction techniques. 

 

Why does Dr. Richardson refer patients to Assil Gaur Eye Institute? 

Dr. Richardson’s patients begin their journey at Zak, a high-end boutique optometric clinic founded by Dr. Myles Zakheim. Zak takes a 21st-century approach to all things eyes: glasses, contact lenses, and eye care as a whole with a goal to make vision approachable and attainable for all. Their treatment arsenal includes the latest optometric technologies but for cases that require specialty ophthalmologists, Dr. Richardson points patients toward AGEI.

 

“I love the AGEI team,” she says. “It’s always a pleasure to co-manage my patients with them.”

 

Dr. Richardson refers her patients to different members of the AGEI team, depending on their needs.

 

 

After their treatment at AGEI, Dr. Richardson resumes co-management of her patients. “All my patients do extremely well after surgery,” she says.

 

So, what does she tell her nervous patients before sending them to AGEI?

 

“I tell them they’ll get premium care, and they don’t have to worry because all the docs are experts in their fields,” she says. “At Assil Gaur Eye Institute, the technology is the latest and greatest. The patients can expect a safe surgical outcome.”
