In my opinion, the pain and recovery were significantly understated. Nothing prepared me for what followed. My eyes were swollen shut for five days, I required strong prescription pain medication, and the recovery was far more difficult than I was led to expect.

I had the LAL cataract surgery. It seemed pricey but I certainly got my monies worth and more. I had a previous RK, and an astigmatism. Every person working there has the demeanor of truly caring for the patients. Dr. Gordon is charming, competent and very professional. He instills utmost confidence. Katy at the surgery desk is efficient and caring. Julio instills calm and confidence. Dr. Kasai not only performed my adjustments, but doctored me through a serious bout of dry eye. Without her care, my results would not have been what they were. My vision ...
I called Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute about 30 minutes before closing with a corneal abrasion. The office staff was exceptionally professional and kind and accommodated me, especially Rose, who quickly took my history and got me in. Dr. Echegoyen examined my eye, clearly explained the treatment plan, and prescribed the necessary medication. I am so grateful for their care and highly reccomend this clinic.
I had the most amazing time at Gordon schanzlin new vision clinic. The two girls Grayson and Vivian were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Geffen was very kind and explained everything thoroughly and left me feeling great knowing the status of my vision. All in all glad I came here and not somewhere else and feel confident with the tips I received and the service from the whole team.
I would recommend Gordon Schanzlin New Vision Institute to anyone! I had LASIK performed last week and received top notch care from the initial consultation through to the post-op follow up. Everyone was so kind and made the process extremely easy. I felt calm and really trusted the knowledge of everyone I spoke with. I am not normally one to leave reviews but felt I had to share my great experience here, as they truly went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. You won’t be disappointed!
