Dr. Braun and her staff are quite professional, knowledgeable and go out of their way to make the whole experience pleasurable. They explained the whole process in easy to understand terms. Oh! Parking was a breeze as well. Thanks.

Sonia Barlow

I see dr modhagan who is very sweet and thorough. I do want to make sure I see an ophthalmologist though so I might switch to a diff dr there but otherwise no complaints. Great selection of frames

Thomas Howard

Efficient front desk, thorough staff, timely service, parking included. I am confandent in the doctor's assessment and skill set.

Marty Bruinsma

Very caring and thorough. Well equipped with latest technology. Having their own parking lot, believe it or not, is a great convenience for their Santa Monica location.

Summer 2020 Dr Stelzner removed my cataracts and put in multi focal implants. This was life changing for me. Color I didn’t realize had faded came back, my depth perception was back and I don’t need glasses anymore. She is an amazing surgeon, warm and compassionate. I’ve also seen, Dr Braun and Dr Nuyen for eye exams and check up’s. They are both highly skilled and knowledgeable. They answer my questions clearly and kindly. I appreciate the care from the Doctor’s and the staff. I’m in good hands.

Jeremy Sunderland

Dr. Stelzner was awesome with my cataract surgeries. She didn’t push me into it, but thoroughly discussed my options - and why I might want to wait. But we went forward, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. And it’s been five years since my surgeries…

Sharon Skinazi

This was an amazing experience from start to end. I didn’t realize how badly my cataracts were interfering with my vision. I delayed and reluctantly realized I couldn’t wait any longer to remove both cataracts. All the staff, including the receptionists, the optometrists, and the associates who explain the options and lead you through youths process are knowledgeable, patient and kind The atmosphere in the office is created and encouraged by the surgeon, Dr. Stelzner. She is remarkable as she discussed the possible alternatives and guided me to the choice that was best for me. The surgery and recovery were painless. I had one eye done and then the other eye surgery was performed 2 weeks later. The results have been nothing short of amazing. De. Stelzner restored my eyesight to when I was 10 or 12 (I’m 79 now). No more fumbling for glasses first thing in the morning. No more contact lenses in and out daily. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Stelzner and her capable staff

Ray Laska

Dr. Braun was absolutely wonderful. Professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, warm, caring and understanding. She practically answered my many question before I could get them out.

Dr. Biscow Front Office

From the moment I called, to the time I walked in, the nurse and Doctor were all amazing! Great staff! I will definitely refer to others and take my family there! Amazing experience ! Veronica

Jay Cousins

I was diagnosed with a cataract and within a few weeks I was scheduled and Dr Saqida Stelzner performed the Surgery. Everything from start to finish went extremely well. The entire team was world class and couldn't have been more professional. The coordination with the Surgery center was smooth and well communicated. Excellent experience, well done!

Karen Kiel

Everyone is efficient, courteous, pleasant and very thorough.

Allan Shatkin

Had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Stelzner. She is a very professional, able and friendly physician. She knows her business and made me feel both comfortable and confident about the outcome. Her office is well run with attentive staff. There is a small parking lot adjacent to the office. I would definitely recommend Dr. Stelzner for any eye-related concerns.

Lisa Riddle

Visits start on time & staff is kind & knowledgeable.

Caitlin Dolan

This is Caitlin's dad. I had a visit with Dr. Brenda Nuyen yesterday at the SM Eye Medical Group. She was very congenial, friendly, extremely competent, and was able to easily answer all my questions. The visit was comfortable, informative, and set my mind at ease about eye conditions. I highly recommend her. Brian P. Dolan MD, MPH

Dr. Hamilton came highly recommended from my ophthalmologist in North Carolina. I met with him to see if I was a good candidate for LASIK and the entire process could not have been more seamless! His whole team made scheduling the surgery and follow-up appointments so easy and efficient. I am very pleased with the results and HIGHLY recommend Dr. Hamilton for anyone considering LASIK.

rob klauber

Preparation person was excellent and so was the physician

Danielle Star

Very friendly staff and knowledgeable optometrist. They are helpful and courteous without being pushy or trying to force you to buy something you're not ready to buy yet. The optometrist was very professional and did a great job explaining the changes in my prescription and the new lenses I'd have to choose from as my previous brand is no longer on the market. 5/5 would recommend to anyone needing a good eye doctor in Los Angeles.

Gil Brown

Friendly, professional and in walking distance! Thanks!

I am very thankful to Dr. David Rex Hamilton at Santa Monica Eye Medical Group for creating amazing vision for me with his expertise in modern refractive cataract surgery! I love reading. I love traveling and visiting museums around the world. I love playing tennis, running, swimming, snowboarding. I spend a lot of time editing and translating on the computer. I need micro vision for sewing. Until a couple of months ago, I needed separate eyeglasses for the different distances, extra light for dim conditions—and when traveling, spare glasses, just in case. During the last decade my vision had gone increasingly bad, with cataracts growing in both eyes. Then I asked the important question: “When should one have a cataract surgery?” The obvious answer was: “As soon as your quality of life would improve without cataracts.” I had an appointment with Dr. David Rex Hamilton for a consultation in March of 2018, when he was still working at UCLA Stein Eye Institute, Cataract and Refractive Surgery. His impressive résumé and experience, his enthusiasm and his warm personality convinced me to commit to having the Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery with ORA Intraoperative Aberrometry, the refractive management, and the top-of-the-line Tecnis Symfony intraocular lens implants for both eyes. The surgery for the left eye was in June. Dr. Hamilton was wonderful: warm and calming during the surgery (which was painless and relatively quick)—and interesting, explaining the different steps as he was proceeding. The surgery was a success and I could see well some 30 minutes after. Even with only one eye “fixed,” I no longer needed eyeglasses! The left eye now had great micro and near vision, while I still needed improved intermediate to distance vision. The second eye surgery was postponed by a month while Dr. Hamilton transferred from UCLA to join a private practice, Santa Monica Eye Medical Group. I had a post-op/pre-op visit with Dr. Hamilton at his new office. During the visit he fine-tuned/confirmed the best options for the second eye. The surgery was at the end of July, again at UCLA SEI hospital. Now a seasoned patient during surgery, I was just anxious to experience the monovision that Dr. Hamilton expertly had created in my eyes (with intermediate and distance vision now in my right eye and micro and near vision in the left eye). It was amazing! My vision was seamless from near to far and in between! It seemed like a miracle! I just spent 10 days in Spain marveling art in museums, admiring architecture and landscapes, and reading maps—no need for eyeglasses, for any distance. Now, when I drive in California, I can see my dashboard, my GPS and the road signs. I do see a “spider web” halo at night time around car headlights, but it is much less bothersome than the very blurry halo I used to experience before; I actually avoided driving at night before the surgeries. Even my tennis improved significantly: I finally can see the ball when it leaves the opponent’s racquet as well as when it is on my side of the net. Thank you Dr. Hamilton for improving my quality of life!

Dr Stelzner saw me right away and stopped my issue before it became serious. She also is thoughtful and thinks about the whole picture - a great doctor - not just one to do an eye exam and send you on your way.

Carlos Hernandez Jr.

The staff is very professional and friendly.

jean klima

Patricia Godon Tann

Appointment was on time and this was for VSP exam. Everyone was pleasant and the offices clean but I felt that they cut a few corners during the exam. There was no depth to what was done. Nothing was wrong, but not an excellent exam.
