Arnswald, Joy
Cataract with IOL Both Eyes and Bilateral Blepharoplasty August and October 2011

"My husband and I have both had Cataract surgeries with Dr. Katzman. He is the best (world renewed- I'm sure). We have seeing him for over 30 years. He and his staff are great and there is no question in my mind that you will get the best care here. I recently had blepharoplasty and I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I would never consider seeing anyone but Dr. Katzman."

Breeding, Pauline
LENSX Cataract with Toric Lens Right Eye Oct 2011

“My Laser Cataract Surgery was an awesome experience. I’ve been telling everyone as soon as you need to don’t hesitate have the procedure done. My vision was great the same day and I have no pain. The eye drops 4X a day were annoying but didn’t hurt. This procedure also corrected my night driving starburst with headlights and brake lights. I’ve worn contacts for years It’s nice to be free of them. I’ve scheduled my left eye for January 9, 2012, I can’t wait. The surgery center was also very organized and gentle with me.”

LASIK Testimonials

Jeanne Deflorio

I had the best all around treatment I have ever received! The staff and Dr. Katzman were professional, courteous, and responsive. What a refreshing delight! In addition I can see. I was constantly putting on reading glasses and taking them off, searching through my purse for my glasses. I did this for years! Dr. Katzman’s price was one third less then on at the local doctor I consulted with also. His practice and staff are the best!

Brian Luschwitz, MD

Dr. Katzman did an excellent job with my eyes! He was attentive, efficient, flexible, and caring throughout the whole process. He took time to explain the procedure and the options available at every visit. He made sure all my questions were answered. After the LASIK Surgery I can see better than I ever could with my glasses or contacts. I highly recommend Dr. Katzman.

Maria Sylvester

Dr. Katzman has given me what Mother Nature deprived me of at birth – perfect vision without glasses or contacts. I wish I had done this a long time ago – that is my only regret. The surgery was quick and painless. Dr. Katzman was wonderful as was his office staff, especially Desiree. Desiree made the scheduling and the financial aspect a breeze. Thank you!

Kenneth L. Wilson

Nothing to fear! Dr. Katzman and his staff are kind and gentle. I would rather have LASIK than go to the dentist. I got a little scared and everyone working on me at the eye bank stopped, made me feel better, made me laugh and then continued the procedure. My eyesight is great. I was 20/20 the day after the LASIK. Since I am 52 years old I must wear reading glasses but that is normal. My distant sight is so clear. What a great invention.

 

Blepharoplasty Testimonials

Wanda French

First of all the staff and Dr. Katzman are very supporting, kind, and wonderful. I felt very relaxed, not a worry in the world. The whole procedure from beginning to end went very good and quick. Before you know it the procedure is over. Dr. Katzman talks you through the whole procedure. Dr. Katzman lets you know what he is doing and how much time is left of the surgery. This is very reassuring. I’m looking forward to seeing the final results.

Melvin Crane

The procedure was relatively painless and went according to the explanations provided in advance. The recovery was slightly discomforting. But aside from the puffiness and discoloration, which was expected, I would do the procedure again without hesitation.

Steve Lee

The staff did an excellent job. They answered all my concerns and the surgery was extremely easy. The hospital staff was very professional. I was only at the hospital for an hour and a half. The surgery was only 30 minutes, with no pain. I could not believe how easy every thing was, and how painless my recovery time was also. I can see considerable improvement in my eyes and also every thing seems brighter.

Carolyn Fulford

This was a very good experience. Everyone in Dr. Katzman’s office is friendly and professional. I came in with very puffy and watery eyes, and four months after the surgery I look great and the constant watery eyes are gone. A big thank you to Dr. Katzman and his staff.

Irene Hancock

I have to admit I was terrified to have an ophthalmologist perform eye lift surgery on me. However my friend who works for one said, “who better to do the surgery?” I am extremely pleased with my surgery. Dr. Katzman did my upper and lower lids. They look so natural, and people continue to compliment my “youthful” appearance, not knowing I had my eyes done. The best part is I can now see so much better. Thank you.

Louis Hogge

I was starting to have headaches and thought I needed new glasses. My eye exam showed that no correction was needed. The Doctor told me to use my thumbs and push up on my eyebrows. When I did this, “what a difference it made.” I had no idea that I was loosing that much field of vision. The surgery went very well and the recovery time was short. People tell me that I don’t look mad all the time any more, and my headaches have gone away.

Tan Le

First I would like to thank you for your services. Before surgery I was unable to see very well. Fortunately after the surgery my vision is very good. I’m so grateful to you. Thanks to everyone at West Coast Eye Care Associates.

Zoila Hortencia Campos

I am thankful for Dr. Katzman’s blessed hands. A thousand thanks to Dr. Katzman and the staff at the surgery center. I felt very well taken care of. Thanks also to Dr. Katzman’s office staff, they have always treated me with kindness and respect. I am completely satisfied with my care and service, I would recommend this office to my friends and family. I know that anyone else treated by Dr. Katzman will be satisfied as well.

Robert Marchack

I wish to express my gratitude to West Coast Eye Care, for the caring professional treatment I received from the staff. Especially Dr. Katzman. There was no pain or discomfort with either my cataract or lid procedure. Thank you West Coast Eye Care.
P.S. I have new eyes at the age of 85.

John Echeverria

It has been one week since I had the CK procedure; I am still trying to adjust to the procedure however my ability to read has improved tremendously. I am improving with time and expect to benefit from this. My only concerns were the night halos however I have been assured that with time they will go away, but overall it’s been good.

Melissa Barrowcliff

WOW!!! What a new life, from having to always having to wear glasses to none. What a wonderful life now not having to worry where my glasses are. I think everyone should have this done, I love being able to see, Life is great and all I want to do is read all the time!

Hoyt Mcgarity

The staff and the video were very helpful and informative. I was fully prepared by Desiree and the procedure went very well with little discomfort. I now have the freedom to read without glasses! I highly recommend this procedure as well as Dr. Katzman, Just go for it!

Kris Clark

I was Dr. Katzman’s first CK patient. I was extremely nervous as I am not a “doctor’s person” much to my relief it was a great experience. The nursing staff was knowledgeable and kind and Dr. Katzman guided me through the procedure by telling me exactly what to do and by explaining to me what he was going to do next. The procedure was over in what felt like seconds. I am so pleased with my results I could read without my glasses before I left the office. Three weeks later, my vision keeps improving. This has been a great experience for me and I highly recommend it.
