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.

Dr. Sadiqa Stelzner is smart, and accomplished as a fine doctor, her office mgr. is incompetent! When I called to make an appt. Suzie, the office mgr. told me my insurance was cancelled, which was untrue. Suzie repeatedly ARGUED and INSISTED. After several calls to my insurance co. and group, who confirmed my ins. was never cancelled,she refused to listen. Imagine my shock! I even asked the ins.co. to call her. Now I learn that Dr. Stelzner discharged me without any respect, or consideration as her patient, or without asking ME !!!

Dr. Stelzner and her entire staff provided what I would call "A plus care" for my pre-op, cataract surgery and after-care. Her professionalism, compassion and attention to detail is outstanding. At a time when we are used to doctor's rushing us on and out of their offices, I was always confident that I was getting detailed care from her and her amazing staff, resulting in the positive outcome I experienced.

I have been helped by several of the doctors at SMEMG and they are all caring professionals. I have received excellent care. I used to wear trifocals and now I wear no glasses! I had big bags under my eyes and drooping eyelids, but that has all been fixed. I will never visit another eye clinic. This one has met all my needs.

I was very sure that I was losing my vision and I went to the Eye Medical Group through my medical plan. They diagnosed the problems quickly and set me up for catarac surgery and other procedures that improved my vision to the point where I don't wear glasses most of the time. Very nice people and would recommend.

I am very grateful for the care and the surgery I had. Dr Stelzner did my cataract and glaucoma stent surgery last year. Now I can see much clear and my eye pressure are much better. I am very happy with the outcome and excellent care I have.

Great place, I have been super pleased with my care. I have been coming here for many years. I had my eye surgery with Dr Stelzner a few years ago. She did an outstanding job! I could see so clearly which made me notice the hyper-pigmentation on my face. Fortunately she offered to improve it. I had laser skin treatment by Dr Stelzner. My skin has been so great and I get many compliments and More. I highly recommend this place.

I always thought I would eventually go blind as my eyesight from childhood has been very poor. Then, Cataract surgery was brought to my attention and I was blessed with the most patient hands and warm personality of Dr. Sadiqa Stelzner. I cannot thank her, and science, enough for the eyesight I have today. No more contact lenses. I can see perfectly, and bless her every day for her patience, thorough listening and explanation, and truly joyful heart. THank you Dr. Sadiqa Stelzner.

Cataract surgery for my 84 year old, severely impaired vision mother was so well done. We are very pleased with the care and attention given before, during, and after the surgery. My mother's vision has returned to normal. We are so very pleased with the professional service that Dr. Stelzner provides. The surgery center has an excellent staff and the most advanced laser technology. We highly recommend the Surgery Center of Santa Monica and Dr. Stelzner as your surgeon.

Dr. Stelzner operated on both my husband and me. I had a complex case with history of corneal transplants in both eyes with high astigmatism. The result of our surgeries has been extremely successful with vision of 20/20. My husband was unable to drive at all before surgery. Now, thank God, he can drive both day and at night. The recovery from surgery was painless and rapid without any issues. We highly recommend Dr Stelzner and Santa Monica Eye Medical Group. :)
