The staff - especially Dr. Semel, is excellent, very polite, and efficient, but most important of all, super caring. They all want to make sure you get exactly what you need!
January 10, 2020Hayim H.Verified patient
Having moved from NYC to LA, I was worried about finding a great ophthalmologist to replace mine, but I'm so pleased to have found one!
Dr Semel and her staff (from reception to the technician, Michelle, were courteous, caring and thorough. For those that are cost conscious, they tell you how much each and every procedure or test will cost along the way - something that is rare in today's medical environment.
I'm mostly pleased that Dr. Semel uses the some of the latest diagnostic machines to be found.
I'll be going back to these folks for my next eye needs!
