Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Everyone is the office is professional and treats me with respect. Eli,Melissa, Lisa, Dinh, and the front Desk people have always been friendly and courteous. Dr. Corwin usually has a waiting room full of patients on Monday afternoon. He checks my eye photos, reviews findings with me, and gives me a b treatment. Not much time for idle talk nevertheless, he is kind and friendly and knows his craft. Because of him, I can see.

I was getting monthly injections from Dr. Corwin for Macular Degeneration. I got a strep infection from the injection because Dr. Corwin did not follow sterile procedures. He was talking during the injection, without a mask. As a result I lost the vision totally in one eye and suffered through many surgeries with tremendous pain. It has totally destroyed my life. I cannot drive,, I can barely read and i'm uncomfortable all the time. Go to Jules Stein

Dr. Corwin was deceptive about the need for surgery when advising a procedure that he performed at his own clinic in Thousand Oaks. The surgery failed nearly causing blindness.He performed a second surgery to correct the first. I lost faith in Dr. Corwin and went to Jules stien Eye Institute at UCLA. They said that the first surgery was completely unnecessary and that the damage it caused will require further corrective surgery to prevent loss of vision.
