Matthew Lynd Hecht, MD

About 2years ago i went to Dr Hecht with terrible fog site. i could not see the white lines on the freeway. He diagnosed sever cataracts. He literally gave me my site back. He was extremely professional with a very good bedside manner. My wife recently had surgery with him after year of my proding and her overcoming her fear. This was last Thur and she is seeing again already. She is very pleased. Michael Seydor

I was happy to see that there was nowhere to sit at his office. Why? He must be a good doctor, if people are willing to wait for him. Last year, I went to a place that stated they were «Eye Specialists.» There were no patients in the reception area. I should have known better. I was told that my flashing lights and floaters were due to my age. To make a long story short, my right eye is now legally blind. My husband drives me from San Gabriel Valley to Lawndale just to see Dr. Matthew Hecht. He was highly recommended by my retina specialist doctor that performed my vitrectomy pars plana surgery. He stated that Dr. Hecht has taken care of his patients that need cataract surgery.
Dr. Hecht’s assistants/​technicians dilated my eyes and performed numerous tests on my very first appointment using numerous types of ophthalmic electronic equipment. The doctor told me what I should expect, and I informed him that I would be happy to be able to drive when it’s dark again. He did not give me any false promises, but he informed me that my sight would be better after cataract surgery.
I had cataract surgery yesterday, and I also had an appointment to see him the following day. While I was in the reception area, I spoke to someone that also had cataract surgery yesterday. The patient was VERY HAPPY with his cataract surgery that he had with Dr. Hecht last year with one of his eyes, and it was time to have cataract surgery for his other eye. He stated that he is looking forward to not having to wear glasses anymore. In my case, my right eye will remain legally blind with blurry center and distorted vision due to the previous doctor that had the EMPTY reception area with NO PATIENTS waiting.
Before my cataract surgery, I could not even read the first letter in the reading chart. Granted the letter is distorted, but it’s not because of the catract surgery. At least now I am able to read the first letter, and guess what the remaining letters are.
I like how Dr. Hecht wants to see his patients the day after surgery, and 2 or 3 days after that appointment. I will be seeing him again in 3 days. I will keep you posted.

Dr Hecht office is always busy cuz he’s rally good! Even though he’s busy– I have never had to wait long. He’s an expert with eyes so if you have any questions he explains it to you & his asst’s are really knowledgeable too & very nice! I had a cataract removed & I wasn’t in any pain even after surgery.

My opinion regarding Dr. Hecht is a very good eye doctor who really takes the time to explain what the problem is. He cares about his patients and their well being.
Appointments given the same day, short waiting time and very friendly and corteous staff, I highly recommend=)

It’s so hard to find an amazing doctor when you move to a new city. That’s why I haven’t found an eye doctor that I loved until today! So nice, personable, doesn’t make you feel stupid for asking questions or anything. I would recommend him to any of my friends asking for a referral. He totally reminded me of my old family eye doctor I went to for years. Totally a fan.

Dr. Hecht and his staff were very professional and helpful. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, quickly discovering that I had an astigmatism. His staff is also very friendly, making my experience that much more pleasant. I will definitely go back! Thank you Dr. Hecht!
