    They were very helpful and will be returning next year for my annual eye exam. Happy Customer!

    – Susanna M.

    I recommend Santa Monica eye to everyone! I had a last minute need for a new pair of prescription sunglasses before I had to go out of town and luckily they were able to accommodate me for a last minute appointment even though they are not a walk in clinic. After my appointment, I went straight to their optical department and I was on my way with a new pair in no time! From the front desk to the opticians, everyone in office was so helpful along the way. It’s also great to see an office practicing top notch safety and social distancing precautions in a time like this! Thank you Santa Monica eye!!

    – Mary B.

    Very friendly staff and knowledgeable optometrist. They are helpful and courteous without being pushy or trying to force you to buy something you’re not ready to buy yet. The optometrist was very professional and did a great job explaining the changes in my prescription and the new lenses I’d have to choose from as my previous brand is no longer on the market. 5/5 would recommend to anyone needing a good eye doctor in Los Angeles.

    – Danielle S.

    Very caring and thorough. Well equipped with latest technology. Having their own parking lot, believe it or not, is a great convenience for their Santa Monica location.

    High caliber professionals; friendly, helpful staff. State-of-the-Art equipment, NEAT, COVID-safe environment. Great location. Free parking, too!

    – Mary A. (Yelp)

    I went for the first time recommended by another group that did not have any availability for a month. I was a bit put off from her front staff ( later finding they were new). I had low expectations and found them to be wonderful. Great PAs and a good frank meeting with the doctor. My prescriptions were sent to the pharmacy via computer tech where I picked them up an hour later. And… free parking in the lot outside the office. Would highly recommend this group!

    – Darla G.

    Dr. Stelzner was awesome with my cataract surgeries. She didn’t push me into it, but thoroughly discussed my options – and why I might want to wait. But we went forward, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. And it’s been five years since my surgeries…

    – Jeremy S. (Google)

    I was diagnosed with a cataract and within a few weeks I was scheduled and Dr Saqida Stelzner performed the Surgery. Everything from start to finish went extremely well. The entire team was world class and couldn’t have been more professional. The coordination with the Surgery center was smooth and well communicated. Excellent experience, well done!

    – Fern M. (Yelp)

    I received a new multifocal PanOptic lens for my right eye as I had early stage cataracts. The surgery by Dr. Stelzner and the support of her medical team were terrific. My follow up and care by her office staff was great as well. For those in need I would highly recommend her and staff for your surgery. You will be in caring skillful hands !!

    – Jeff T. (Yelp)

    What an amazing office!! Top to bottom I was handled efficiently and with great care. I went in for cataract surgery and could not be more pleased with the results. I have worn glasses for over 50+ years and never thought that would change. Thanks to the wonderful recommendations by Patty when scheduling my surgery and the steady hands of Dr Stelzner, I am not wearing glasses anymore. I wake up and I can SEE!! It has been an unbelievable change in my life. Thank you as well to the front office folks who are always so kind and quick when I have arrived for my appointments and the MA’s in the back office who work so hard to prepare you for the Dr. Thank you all so much. Highly recommend.

    I have been to this office for me and my husband both at least 10 times during the past few months. This office is clean and organized, they are constantly sanitizing the equipments, chairs and all surfaces.

    The staff is professional and friendly, they care about your safety.

    Dr. Stelzner is passionate and honest, she doesn’t sound like so many other doctors who try to convince you to choose a costly product or surgery.

    She cares about her job and her patients more than financial gain and that is how you know how human and good your doctor is.
    I wish more doctors had her manners and standards.

    I had 2 eye surgery by her, she did an amazing job, can’t be more happy.

    Thank you Dr. Stelzner and staff.

    Keep up the good work

    Dr Stelzner saw me right away and stopped my issue before it became serious. She also is thoughtful and thinks about the whole picture – a great doctor – not just one to do an eye exam and send you on your way.

    I recently had eye surgery cataract removal performed by Dr. Brenda Nuyen.Dr. Nuyen is one of the best doctors I have ever seen in a long time. I was pleased with her expertise as a Surgeon. Dr. Nuyen is sharp, warm, and overall a great person. I felt comfortable with her energy right from the start. Dr. Nuyen sets a great example of what doctors should model themselves after. I feel she is an asset to the medical field, she goes beyond the call of duty as a doctor. I think she is awesome!!!!!
