Today was my surgery and I just woke up from my nap. I have had glasses/contacts for 17 years and I was so overwhelmed with joy when I woke up and I could see everything clearly. I could not be happier.”

Based on 315 reviews
I’m extremely grateful for Dr. Feinerman and the entire team for such an amazing LASIK experience! Everyone was so hands-on, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the whole process. The procedure itself was so quick and easy. I honestly didn’t feel a thing! By the very next day, I was back to work and everything felt completely normal. Except that I’m no longer wearing glasses! 😎 One thing I really appreciated was how responsive everyone was. Anytime I had a question or concern, someone was always there to answer and help. The level of care and communication made the entire experience even better. I couldn’t be happier with the results and am extremely grateful to Dr. Feinerman and the whole team! ✨
Response from the owner:Back at work the next day is exactly how LASIK should go, Jeanice. Questions never keep office hours, so I am glad someone was always there when you had one. I will let the team know. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Let's just say I went from nearly legally blind to seeing a bug that almost camouflaged itself into the ceiling (that neither my parents could see even with their glasses on) because of my ICL operation. This is my testament to Dr. Feinerman's work as a surgeon (and it happened 2 days after the surgery!) When it comes to everything you would want in a doctor in this situation, Dr. Feinerman has it all. He's one of the leading pioneers in ICL (implantable contact lens); he's very thorough to ensure the lens is the perfect fit for each of his clients; and he is SO personable and reassuring. It's such a joy to see someone who loves his job! I would highly recommend his work to anyone who is seeking out a procedure to help correct their vision.
Response from the owner:A bug on the ceiling that your parents could not spot, two days after ICL surgery, may be the best description of a result I have read all year. You noticed the part of this work that matters most to me: getting the lens right for the individual eye rather than settling for close enough. And yes, I do love my job, so it means something that it showed. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Very friendly staff. I felt very comfortable and well taken care of during the entire procedure.
Response from the owner:Feeling comfortable and well cared for through the entire procedure is exactly what my team and I aim for, so your note means a lot, Christian. I will happily pass your kind words along to the staff. Thank you for taking a moment to share this. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Dr. Feinerman did my EVO ICL procedure and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the initial consultations all the way through to the post-op follow ups, he was empathetic, informative, and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their vision. 5 stars!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Austin. I appreciate you noting how the experience felt empathetic and informative from the first consultation through your post-op follow ups, since staying personally involved at every step is exactly how I like to practice. EVO ICL is a wonderful option for the correct eye, and I was glad to be part of the process with you. Thank you for your kind recommendation. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Had a great experience at Dr Feinerman’s office. Went in for the lasik on 8/13, went for my check up today on 8/14 and I’m already at 20/20 vision. I had a pretty bad astigmatism and Dr Feinerman made sure to address it before and during the procedure. Him and his whole staff are also very welcoming and make you feel comfortable through the whole process. Would 100% recommend to anybody on the fence about going to his office. -Isaias A.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Isaias. I am glad your check up the day after LASIK went smoothly and that you felt comfortable and welcomed by the whole team throughout the process, since seeing every patient myself the day after surgery is how I like to practice. Giving careful attention to astigmatism before and during the procedure is exactly what every eye deserves. I appreciate your recommendation and your trust. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Had LASIK done here and I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Feinerman and staff! Their technology and expertise are truly top-notch, and they were very thorough, communicative, and professional overall throughout the entire process.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kevin. I appreciate you noticing how thorough and communicative the whole process felt, since keeping patients well informed at every step is exactly how I like to practice. Investing in advanced technology and staying personally involved from consultation through the day after surgery matters to me, so your kind words mean a great deal. Enjoy your new vision.

One day after lasik and I already have 20/15 vision. Amazing Doctor and an Amazing experience. Thank you Doctor Feinerman
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Derek. Seeing 20/15 just one day after LASIK is an incredible result, and I’m thrilled for you. I’m glad your experience felt smooth and positive from start to finish. Thank you for your trust and your kind words, it truly means a lot. Enjoy your new vision. Gregg Feinerman

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Feinerman and his entire staff. Everyone was courteous, informative, friendly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Feinerman was cool as a cat during the procedure. He was calm, confident, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. When someone is working on your eyes, you want the person to be the absolute best—and Dr. Feinerman is it. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend Dr. Feinerman and his team to anyone considering LASIK.
Response from the owner:Thank you, John. "Cool as a cat" may be my favorite compliment yet, and I am glad that calm carried through for you, because feeling comfortable and well informed is exactly what I want every patient to experience. Performing every procedure myself and staying personally involved from consultation onward is how I like to practice. I appreciate your recommendation and your trust. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Staffs really friendly. Great service. Facilities are clean! There’s a freaking bidet in the bathroom (imo extremely nice touch 🤣). Everything went really smooth. Enjoyed conversation with everyone. Highly recommending to my friends!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Huy. I got a good laugh from the bidet shout-out, and I am glad the little touches, along with a clean and welcoming space, made the visit feel easy. A smooth experience and good conversation are exactly what my team aims for, and I will happily pass your thanks along to them. I appreciate the recommendations to your friends. Gregg Feinerman, MD

I don’t usually write reviews unless I’ve had an experience I genuinely feel strongly about. I’m also naturally skeptical, especially when it comes to something as important as my eyes, so I tend to research, question, and think carefully before making decisions like this. I decided to write this review six months after my LASIK surgery not only to thank Dr. Feinerman and his team, but more importantly to share my experience with anyone doing what I was doing months ago — reading reviews, researching, and trying to feel confident about such an important decision. I intentionally waited because I wanted to go through the recovery process and see how my vision stabilized before sharing my experience. Of course, this is only my personal experience. Everyone’s eyes and body are different and may heal or respond differently. I’m not trying to convince anyone to have LASIK — take whatever is useful from my experience, do your own research, ask questions, and make the decision that feels right for you. Before LASIK, I did a lot of research and had another consultation elsewhere. I was initially referred to Dr. Feinerman by a colleague, but what ultimately made me choose him was my own experience during the consultation. Beyond his experience and the technology available at his office, I appreciated how straightforward he was. I never felt pressured or like I was being sold anything. He explained the different treatment options and was clear about what would work well for me versus what was simply an optional upgrade. The surgery itself went smoothly, but I want to mention the recovery because this may be helpful to someone researching LASIK. Everything didn’t instantly feel perfect. During the first few weeks I experienced dryness, and my right eye sometimes felt slightly blurry or less sharp than my left. Naturally, I became concerned. What gave me confidence was how responsive Dr. Feinerman and his office were. Whenever I reached out, I received a quick response and explanation. When I wanted reassurance, Dr. Feinerman was happy to examine me again. My vision tested extremely well, and what I was experiencing turned out to be dryness and part of the normal healing process. They also provided special eye drops at no additional charge. Their willingness to listen, explain, and check on me made a big difference. With time, all of those concerns completely disappeared. Now, six months later, I just completed another follow-up. My vision is great, my eyes are fully healed, and everything looks excellent. At this point, I genuinely don’t even feel like I had eye surgery — I simply wake up and see clearly. After years of glasses and contact lenses, especially while playing soccer, coaching, working out, traveling, and dealing with everyday life, that freedom has been incredible. Looking back six months later, LASIK has honestly been one of the best decisions I have made for myself, and I’m very happy I chose Dr. Feinerman and his office. Finally, a sincere thank you to Dr. Feinerman and every member of his staff. From consultation through surgery and every follow-up, my questions and concerns were always taken seriously. I truly appreciate the professionalism, patience, care, and kindness throughout the entire experience Best Regards, Mirjahon
Response from the owner:Thank you, Jahon, for a review this careful and candid. The part that means the most to me is that you never felt sold to; being clear about what will genuinely help a patient versus what is simply optional is exactly how I believe this decision should be handled. Recovery is a process, and every eye heals a little differently, so being reachable and willing to re-examine whenever you have a concern is part of the job, not an extra. I'm grateful you waited six months to share the full picture, and even more grateful you chose us. My best to you. Gregg Feinerman, MD

I just had ICL surgery with Dr. Feinerman and everything has been amazing so far. Ive been having myopia for many years and have been tired of using glasses/contacts. I came to my consult with intention of pursuing LASIK however due to my -8.5 prescription he was very truthful with me about ICL being a better option for me given how much cornea would have to be removed with LASIK and because ICL is future proofed due to its reversibility. Despite this, he was still willing to do LASIK for me if it is what I truely wanted. So if better technology comes out or my sight worsens in the future I will have more options open by doing ICL. Best decision of my life to get ICL. He will make you feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole process and will not pressure you into anything. For any refractive surgery you should go with someone who will be honest with you and have someone that can perform all the options so Dr. Feinerman would be the guy to go to. Would definitely recommend him to family and friends. I never write any reviews for anything but this is a case where I feel it's truely deserved. #notsponsored 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you, Larry. You described exactly why I walk every patient through all of the options instead of starting with one answer. At a prescription like yours, EVO ICL™ removes no corneal tissue, and because it is reversible, it keeps your future options open if your eyes change or newer technology arrives later on. The right choice is the one that fits the individual eye, and I was glad to talk it through with you. Thank you for the recommendation, and the #notsponsored at the end made me smile.

I had cataract surgery on my left eye with a Light Adjustable Lens, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Gregg FEINERMAN is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly. He’s also very personable and made the whole process feel comfortable and reassuring. I had previously had Lazik so I was concerned as I had mono vision lasik procedure with my left eye as the reading eye and my right eye for distance. The outcome has been excellent—I’m truly pleased with my vision. Highly recommend him if you’re considering this procedure.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this. Taking the time to explain each option clearly, and choosing a lens to fit the individual eye and the way someone actually uses their vision, is central to how I approach cataract surgery, so it means a lot to read that the process felt comfortable and reassuring for you. I'm very glad you are pleased with your vision and grateful for your recommendation. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Life-changing. I can’t thank Dr. Feinerman and the entire team at Feinerman Vision Center enough for what they’ve done for me. From my very first consultation to my LASIK procedure and every follow-up appointment, I felt genuinely cared for. Dr. Feinerman took the time to answer all of my questions, made me feel completely comfortable, and gave me confidence throughout the entire process. His professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were outstanding. Waking up and being able to see clearly without reaching for glasses or putting in contacts is something I still can’t believe. It’s truly a life-changing experience. Everyday things that I took for granted—driving, working out, watching TV, or simply waking up in the morning—are so much easier now. The freedom that comes with clear vision is incredible, and I only wish I had done LASIK sooner. I’d also like to thank every member of the staff. Everyone was kind, welcoming, patient, and professional from start to finish. They made the entire experience stress-free and treated me like family. If you’re even considering LASIK, I can’t recommend Dr. Feinerman and his team enough. This has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received. Thank you for changing my life and giving me the gift of clear vision!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this. I love my job because I help people see better. It’s so rewarding to read your comments. Hearing that everyday moments like driving, working out, and simply waking up to clear vision feel easier now is exactly why I do this work, and it means a great deal that you felt cared for from the consultation through every follow-up. Staying personally involved at each visit, and seeing every patient myself the day after surgery, is how I like to practice, so your kind words land especially well. I will share your thanks with my staff, who will be glad to hear they made the experience feel like family. Gregg Feinerman, MD
Getting Lasik with Dr.Feinerman was the best decision ever.His staff was helpful, kind and supportive throughout the whole process. He was very attentive and answered any and all of my questions. From a very thorough and informative consultation, to a very successful surgery I cannot reccomend Dr. Feinerman and his office more! He called me personally after my surgery to check in on me and see how I was doing. I am the fourth person in my family to get LASIK from Dr. Feinerman. With something as important as your eyes, going to a doctor you can trust is the most important thing, and Dr.Feinerman is someone you can trust.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Sofia. It means a great deal that your family has trusted me for LASIK across four people now, and that you would add your own experience to that. Calling every patient myself the evening of surgery is something I do for everyone, because staying personally connected through the whole process matters to me. I will gladly pass your kind words along to my staff, and I appreciate your trust. Gregg Feinerman, MD

I had an outstanding experience at Feinerman Vision. Dr. Feinerman and his entire team were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring from my first consultation through my follow-up visit. They explained every step of the process clearly, and made me feel comfortable and confident. The procedure was quick and smooth, and the results have been life-changing. My vision is better than I ever expected, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The office is modern, organized, and the staff goes above and beyond to make every visit a positive experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Carlos, for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Explaining every step clearly, so a patient feels comfortable and confident going in, is exactly how I want the process to feel, and I'm glad it came through for you. I'll share your kind words about the team; they earn them. I appreciate your recommendation. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Ten years ago, I chose Dr. Feinerman for my LASIK surgery, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It truly changed my quality of life. From my initial consultation through surgery and every follow up visit, the entire experience was exceptional. Everything was organized, efficient, and professional. Dr. Feinerman and his staff treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine care, and I always felt well informed and completely at ease. Looking back after 10 years of excellent vision, I knew I wanted the same level of expertise and care when it was time for my next procedure. When I recently learned that I needed refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery, I never considered going anywhere else. Returning to Dr. Feinerman after 10 years was an easy decision because of the confidence and trust he earned during my first experience with him. My preoperative appointment was incredibly thorough. Dr. Feinerman performed a comprehensive examination, carefully reviewed my results, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He made sure I knew exactly what to expect, and his knowledge, experience, and attention to detail immediately put me at ease and reinforced that I had made the right decision. I had my first RLE surgery yesterday, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Seeing Dr. Feinerman before and after the procedure was incredibly reassuring, and my postoperative appointment today confirmed that everything is progressing as expected. Because my experience has been so positive, I have already scheduled surgery for my other eye. What truly sets Dr. Feinerman apart is not only his exceptional surgical skill but also the confidence he inspires in his patients. He never rushes through appointments and takes the time to answer every question thoroughly, ensuring you feel comfortable every step of the way. His professionalism, meticulous approach, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome are evident in every interaction. His office staff deserves recognition as well. They are welcoming, organized, efficient, and always willing to help. Every interaction has been very pleasant, and every appointment has been handled professionally and efficiently. Your vision is priceless, and choosing the right surgeon is one of the most important healthcare decisions you’ll ever make. Dr. Feinerman combines exceptional surgical expertise with integrity, precision, experience, and genuine compassion. He is the kind of surgeon who makes you feel confident from your very first consultation and continues to earn your trust every step of the way. After trusting him with my eyes twice over the past 10 years, I can say without hesitation that I would recommend him to my own family and closest friends. If you’re looking for an experienced, skilled, and compassionate eye surgeon, you can feel confident knowing you’re in the hands of someone who is dedicated to excellence and committed to providing outstanding care from your first consultation through your final follow up. I’ll be back to update this review after my second surgery and let everyone know how everything turned out. Based on my experience so far, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to trust Dr. Feinerman with my vision.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Elizabeth. Ten years is a wonderful milestone, and it means a great deal that you would look back and share how your LASIK has served you over that time. Caring for my patients myself, for the long run and not just around the procedure, is exactly how I like to practice. I appreciate your kind words and your trust. Gregg Feinerman, MD

I highly recommend Dr. Feinerman, and I appreciate the responsiveness and professionalism of the office throughout the process. I had a high prescription and was recommended ICL as opposed to Lasik. The ICL procedure itself was very quick and I was seeing 20/20 one day after surgery. I appreciated that Dr. Feinerman called to check up and makes himself available to his patients. Definitely was worth driving the distance from LA for quality service and care especially when it comes to something as important as your vision.
Response from the owner:Kristyn, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for trusting me with your vision. It was a pleasure taking care of you. I’m so glad we were able to determine that EVO ICL was the better option for your prescription and that you achieved 20/20 vision so quickly after surgery. Hearing that the drive from Los Angeles was worthwhile truly means a lot to me. My team and I are committed to providing personalized care every step of the way, and I’m happy to hear that our responsiveness and follow-up made a difference. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. Wishing you many years of clear vision! Gregg Feinerman

I really enjoyed the process from start to finish. I was nervous at first and hesitated a bit. But after talking to Dr Feinerman himself from the day of consultation, I was convinced that this would be beneficial to me and the right decision. It was a privilege to be able to have access and communication to Dr Feinerman and not many places even offer that access and charge way more. I'm really happy with this process and would do it 1000x with only Dr Feinerman. 10/10 experience.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Michael. Nerves before a procedure like this are completely normal, and the best way through them is time with the surgeon who will actually be doing the work, which is why I meet and talk with every patient myself starting at the consultation. That direct access is something I built this practice around on purpose. I'm glad you felt confident in your decision, and I appreciate you taking the time to write this. Gregg Feinerman, MD

Dr. Feinerman and his team are absolutely the best! So efficient in their service and everything is so streamlined where everyone seems very knowledgeable in their roles. Dr. Feinerman is so kind, approachable, and such a professional in his specialty! I felt so taken care of and now I have stellar vision because of him. Thank you! 🙏
Response from the owner:Thank you, Christine. I'll happily pass your words along to the team; a streamlined visit only happens when everyone knows their role and genuinely cares, and I'm proud of how they show up for patients. Being approachable matters to me, because feeling well taken care of is part of good care, not separate from it. I appreciate you taking the time to share this. Gregg Feinerman, MD

The Pattern Behind the Reviews

Read enough of these and a pattern emerges: what reviewers consistently mention is the model. One surgeon performs your evaluation, your surgery, calls you the evening of your procedure, and sees you himself the next day. That is not a coincidence; it is the design of the practice.
