After 100+ Referrals, Top LA Optometrist Reveals Why She Only Trusts AGEI with Her Patients

Who is Dr. Richardson? 

Dr. Richardson is a glaucoma-certified optometrist based in West Hollywood, specializing in the co-management of LASIK surgery and addressing modern eye care issues such as 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 various optical industry publications, including Eyecare Business and InVision magazine.

She also regularly writes for 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 start their journey at Zak, a high-end boutique optometric clinic founded by Dr. Myles Zakheim. Zak takes a 21st-century approach to all aspects of eye care, including glasses, contact lenses, and comprehensive eye examinations, aiming to make vision accessible and achievable for everyone.

Their treatment arsenal includes the latest in optometric technology, but for cases that require specialty ophthalmologists, Dr. Richardson refers patients to 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.

• Dr. Kerry Assil for refractive surgery.
• Dr. Avneet K. Sodhi Gaur for glaucoma and cataract.
• Dr. Svetlana Pilyugina (Dr. P) for retinal issues.
• Dr. Adele for oculoplastic evaluations and surgery.

After their treatment at AGEI, Dr. Richardson resumes the 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.”
