Lakeside Vision Center

Waited for the doctor for an hour while listening to the staff in the hallway say he was in his office. Equipment was old and the whole office was like walking into the 70’s. The nurse who does the preliminary tests had to the eye puff test manually — holding my eyes open and sticking a pencil like machine into my eyes! No thank you. Also, I told the receptionist I didn’t want my eyes dilated but if they had the eye imaging machine, I would do that. She said they didn’t, but as I was sitting in the exam room, I noticed a flier for their imaging services. Really? I left without seeing the doctor and no one said anything; I noticed that the waiting room was packed. I understand waiting for a few minutes, 10 max, but an hour and no word from anyone, that is unprofessional services.

I’ve been waiting for a refill for a week now! Each time I call the office blame is placed on the pharmacy. It’s obviously time to switch doctors.

Whatever you do — do not confide in these doctors. They cannot be trusted. I confided in one of them and they released personal information to someone who should have not known anything personal about me. It caused me problems and I had to find a new eye doctor. Total HIPAA violation and invasion of my privacy. I will never forgive them.

Dr. Duzman’s office they insisted my insurance would not pay for my visit because my prescription was still valid. I made it clear I wanted an eye glasses prescription and when I went to get a pair of glasses I was told my prescription was expired like I had thought. Not sure how a doctors office can mess up on something to simple.

Let me just note that the reason I didn’t give five stars yet is that my cataract surgery hasn’t been completed yet.
I notice horribly blurry vision after hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which never returned back to normal. MY GP sent me to a female Russian opthamologist in Newport Beach who turned out to be the Opthamologist version of Nurse Rachett. What a bitch! I would never go back to her, and I believe I already gave her a too generous one-​star rating here earlier.
So my doctor suggested I try Dr. Duzman. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! They were friendly, prompt, and incredibly efficient. «Efficient» was not to say that I was rushed through. Dr. Duzman examined me and explained in very simple language just what a cataract was and what the surgery would be like. I have every confidence in him and his staff. I have a feeling after my surgery, i will upgrade this to five stars.
In the meanwhile, the bitch Russian opthamologist can go right back to Russia. I hear there is a need for stray dog catchers. Suits her!

I have been going to Dr. Eran Duzman for over 10 years. He is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I highly recommend getting your exam with him. The entire office staff is friendly and professional. Over the years I have purchased glasses and contacts and there prices are good and provide a wide selection.

I have been a loyal patient of Dr. Duzman’s for several years, after being diagnosed with an eye disease that affects my cornea. Within the last couple of years, I also started seeing Dr. Wu for my vision exams and the fitting of my contact lenses. From the beginning, I felt like Dr. Wu was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. He took the time to explain everything to me, walk me through questions I had about my eyes, my treatment, changes to my vision, etc. My eye condition makes contact fittings quite challenging, but Dr. Wu walked me through every step of the process, trying to make the contacts just right. It did take more than one visit, but I appreciated that Dr. Wu was so careful and comprehensive in dealing with my eyes. I feel like he was/​is genuinely interested in the proper care of my eye condition and in managing it in the most effective way possible. The office staff is also very helpful and accommodating, and the office location is convenient with a big parking lot. I would definitely recommend Dr. Wu and Lakeside Vision.

In response to a review I wrote about Dr. Wu, the office called me. I thought it was to set things right, however, it was to inform me that I hurt Dr. Wu’s «feelings».
It wasn’t about «feelings». It was about my not getting what I paid for. It’s about rushing someone through the exam. It’s about prescribing the wrong glasses.
