Conejo-Simi Eye Medical Group Inc

Dr Shayna Mangers is a super Doctor!
She saved my vision by identifying my glaucoma and treating it with an iridectomy. A couple of years after that she identified my retina which was in the process of detaching and once again she prevented my blindness.
I cannot thank or praise Dr Shayna Mangers enough!
Onto pod that she is personable and has great bed-​side manners.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Shayna Mangers!

BEWARE!!!
Dr. Fang did eye surgery on my son. It went very well. No problems from the professionals, although the reception and billing department are horrible scammers. I’ve paid the entire bill upfront before the surgery commenced. This surgery included 3 follow ups and I made sure my the final follow up fell within that window of time. I made sure with the receptionist, who made sure with the surgery coordinator. I’ve continuously received bills for the last follow up, since October 2015. I’ve made 4 phone attempts to get this resolved, but the reception and billing department give me the run around transferring be back and forth. The bill has not been rectified. Now I received a collection notice!!!
Absolutely ridiculous, con artists working in a professional office and taking serious advantage of their clients!!!
I will definitely escalate this situation to the max, unless they resolve it.

Dr. Martidis is a terrible doctor and worse surgeon. He tried to repair my retina detachment 8 months ago. He told me I would only be out of work for a day and not th workout for 10 days. He never mention any risks he was very convincing, I have had horizontal distortions that he kept telling me it would go away. then he said he do surgery again and maybe he could fix. I brought a witness in to talk to
. He then changed his story and said I could not see before he touched me. I then demanded my records which he refused to give me. I had to go to the office manager to get records. I liked the office and the entire staff. I think you should fire Dr. Martidis. I have been to several other doctors and I am told that these distortions can ot be repaired and I will have to live with this. This makes it very difficult to do my job and will forever effect my life. I hope I can stop other from this poor excuse for a doctor.

See my review of this practice under Dr Ashish Toor’s name. Unfounded previous reviews.

I read through the reviews to make sure I am not just unlucky in my experience. Amy M, (another former patient of my beloved Dr. of 20 years Fred Linstone) was smart enough to get out of there right away. I have suffered due to lack of care and incompetence on the part of one of the physicians on treatment for a common condition. The second doctor though more caring, and seeming to know the protocol for Iritis treatment, was distracted at a recent appointment due to over booking. One hour behind for my appointment, I was told it would be another 30 minutes! I complained and said I would leave, so the doctor ran into the room gave me a quick check and told me «to start tapering my meds» even though I made him aware of the short duration of treatment and he knew of the relapse and my experience with the previous doctor. So I now am recovering from an unnecessary painful second relapse which was worse than my original condition when I came in to see incompetent doctor #1.
This is a painful condition, it has interfered with my work schedule and my life. I should have been cured from this mild condition by mid November and now I am back to square one. I also have to take a stronger medication. I will repeat, I was responding to milder medication nicely and only suffered these relapses do to doctors not following the recommended. So the doctors made me worse not better.
I think this corporation is badly run, more for physician profit, than care of patients. Surgery is really what they all do and the regular check ups, exams and treatments not related to it are done as if an inconvenience beneath them. I believe this attitude has to start at the top with their CEO.
They really should just stick to their lucrative Lasik and Plastic Surgery businesses and get out of regular personal ophthalmology practice !
Actually, the state of California should check organizations like this because when business overrides patient care there is a serious problem. If this corporate model is the healthcare of the future it is bad news for patients. Too many corporations, not enough Dr. Linstones!

This review is for the office, not the doctors: I tried calling the office 3 times to schedule an appointment and two times I was put on hold then hung up on. The third time I was on hold for over 10 minutes. Will not waste my time here.

I went for an eye exam and consult for surgery. The staff was not very helpful and they put me in a room that smelled strongly of body odor. I thought it was the last patient and imagine my horror when it turned out to be the doctor. Trapped in a small room with bad hygiene… not fun. Not wanting to hold that against her medical skills I went through the appointment and scheduled two follow up visits that I scheduled before I left and put them in my calendar. A conflict had me cancel one of the appointments and when I showed up for the other one they didn’t have me on the schedule, told me I would have to wait over and hour and could not reschedule me for weeks. The office person I spoke with made it more of a point about my having to cancel one scheduled appointment as an excuse for their losing my other scheduled appointment. As a patient I expect better care and better service. For whatever reason, they don’t seem to get that.

Read the other reviews. What a cattle call. The dr is brilliant but the office staff are short with people and they have an up selling specialist who is like a car dealer finance officer where they use scare tactics to sell you on more options BEFORE YOU SEE THE DR! So before you are even confirmed to need X, Y or Z, you are upsold. If it were not for the reputation of the surgeon, would never walk in here.

Stopped into the office to inquire about my VSP for regular and required safety glasses. Right off the bat the gal at the front desk was brisk, I started to ask a question, she interrupted me, assuming what I was going to ask, I said no I need info on safety glasses, she interrupted me again and said, «No. We don’t do safety glasses.» In unbelief I questioned that to which she again said we don’t do that. No explanation, just no. She said she thinks Lenscrafters is the only one that does.
Total eye care except when at work… why wouldn’t you?
Her attitude sucked. I turned and left. I took with me 5 exams and 5 pairs of glasses… a year.
Again, why wouldn’t you do safely glasses, dont you care?
It pissed me off so bad, it was hard not to flip her off.

I recently had an eye problem while visiting home and got great care at conejo-​simi medical group. They were able to fit me in on short notice and I didn’t have to wait long to be seen. The doctor answered all of my questions and carefully explained my options. I would definitely go back if I lived in the area.

Never go here! They are scam. From the minute I walked in they were selling me things. If they tell you to get «plugs» for dry eyes, run! They gave me the impression my insurance would cover (I stupidly did not check for myself on this) and they did absolutely nothing except cost me a lot of money! The plugs weren’t even in place when I went in 2 week later and of course they want to do nothing for me except collect their money and surprise, put in more plugs that they will charge me for! I’ve paid over $ 450 to this office already not including what my insurance did cover and I have absolutely nothing yet! No glasses and no contacts! Oh, but I do still have dry eyes and I still am having trouble seeing. The only positive is the staff is nice.

Have given this office a try a few times. Will try no more! The wait is ridiculous, then when you are finally called, you are not done! You get shuffled from one room to another. They also can’t seem to handle their billing issues correctly. The doctors were fine but absolutely not worth the wait! Many more eye doctors around!

Never go here. First visit there & my last. Was referred to this group as my awesome eye doctor of 15 years retired (Dr. Fred Linstone). Worst experience. From trying to book the appointment to the actual appointment. It was a cattle call being shuffled from one room to the next. Also charged me for services they did not even perform.

Please do not go here.
My previous eye doctor retired and transfered records to this office. Decided to give them a try as my husband needed eye surgery. Met with Dr. Fang for consultation. He was friendly, polite, and explained how he would fix the problem my husband was experiencing (a pinguecula).
Following the appointment, I was asked to pay more than $ 200 for the appointment as it was «out of network» for Blue Cross PPO. I confirmed with my provider prior to the appointment that they were ‘In network.”
Long story short, I ended up paying them $ 96 for a 15 minute consult. I addressed the issue with the doctor, who refused to handle it and passed it on to the office manager. The office manager would not return calls and would refer to me as another patient. Clearly, we were not the only ones that had issues with their billing.
In a nutshell, the professionalism and courtesy is lacking. It seems they feel they are the only opthamology clinic in the Conejo-​Simi area. If they continue to treat customers poorly, they will soon have no customers. Just my opinion…
