UCLA Stein Eye Institute Cataract & Refractive Surgery

I had my first cataract surgery with Dr. Hamilton three weeks ago. The experience was truly amazing. Dr. Hamilton surrounds himself with kind, caring people, and is very good at what he does. Since then, I have had my other eye done. I am so happy with the vision I now have. I have worn glasses since I was six years old. Today I am glasses free and have 20/20 vision in both eyes. Thank you Dr. Hamilton for giving me a whole new world.

Dr Hamilton is fantastic! I only had one eye done because he realized that my distance eye had improved . Any other doctor might not have checked for that improvement. The surgery on the other eye went so well that although I was aware to what was going on and was able to respond to requests of Dr. Hamilton, I felt no pain. The day after the surgery I told Dr. Hamilton that I wouldn't have thought he did the surgery if it wasn't for my great eyesight!! All off the staff was friendly and very professional. They were awesome!

After an ordeal I went through at another facility, I was apprehensive to have the cataract surgery on my second eye. After an extensive search for a new surgeon, as soon as I met Dr. David Hamilton, I knew I was in good hands. He is a great communicator - very informative and explained things in detail; a good listener, he spent time addressing all the concerns I had from my previous experience. I met his team on the day of the surgery who were all friendly, attentive and professional. I could tell they’re all into what they’re doing, and with pride. It ...

I cannot express in words how happy I am regarding my experience at UCLA Jules Stein, and with the surgical talent, experience, and caring of Dr. Hamilton's team. Prior to meeting with Dr. Hamilton I had consultations with two other doctors. No explanations, no time to spend with a patient. It was a night and day difference when I met Dr. Hamilton. Dr. Hamilton's professionalism, his approach to educate a patient, and the time he spent during my consultation let me know, here is a doctor who enjoys what he does. I was immediately confident in Dr. ...

I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. David Hamilton. I cannot begin to express how completely and totally satisfied I am with Dr. Hamilton and his wonderful, professional staff. I had some concerns and fears about the surgery including whether I would need glasses to read after the surgery. Dr. Hamilton addressed all of my concerns in a professional yet friendly manner. My expectations were greatly exceeded thanks to Dr. Hamilton and the Tecnis Symfony lens he suggested. The difference is night and day. I can see clearly and in focus. ...

Dr. Lin and his team are the GOATs! Got my LASIK here, and couldn’t be happier. I’ve researched long and hard, and have read all the cautionary tales on LASIK, and eventually picked Dr. Lin’s team. They are very thorough with the entire process that involved pre-ops, and follow-ups. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Lin explains things very well and genuinely wants to help his patients. If you have any ounce of doubt in your eye procedures, you should spend the extra effort in seeking the best care, the most experienced hands and the ...
