Alvarado Eye La Mesa - an NVISION Eye Center

Great doctors! 5 stars for them. But the front desk needs better communication. I waited over 20 minutes after the typical " we'll be right with you." Then was told that my appointment was with the doctor on the second floor. I felt so bad for the doctor she had to work on me well into her lunch. Nobody even took a copay which I will probably get billed for. I usually like to take care of that on the day of service. I'm in the medical field as well. Communication isn't that big of a deal to get right. Sorry I don't like leaving three stars.

I highly recommend Dr. Katzman and his staff at Nvision for cataract surgery. I was a little nervous about it going in, but Dr. Katzman is very experienced, very knowledgeable and very friendly. Everyone in the office is very helpful and friendly. Dr. Katzman explains the entire process and determines which option is best for you, since everyone is different. He keeps up on the latest technology and I chose the "Light Adjustable Lens", which I didn't even know was a thing until he presented it as the best option for me. After surgery, you can actually change the prescription of your new lens and tune it to your satisfaction. I just had my first "adjustment" and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. I can even change it again in 2 weeks if I think I want it tweaked a little! I can't believe I'm saying this, but the surgery itself was kind of a fun experience. Everyone was smiling and accommodating to make you comfortable and they were even playing background music, which was really calming. I like that you're awake during the procedure and it went really fast. Don't hesitate to see Dr. Katzman to make that investment in clearer vision. I should have done it sooner.

Everyone at this office was very welcoming. It was an exceptionally thorough examination with great explanations. Jasmine spent a lot of time with me taking me through all the tests and had much patience with all my questions. Dr. Katzman was also excellent at explaining everything to me about cataract surgery.

This was the most surprising and unexpected pleasure I thought I'd be speaking of pertaining to eye care. I would recommend Dr. Katzman to anyone looking for a surgeon for such delicate care concerning the eyes! I have already recommend him to my son, daughter, and a neighbor. Dr Katzman explained everything to me thoroughly and although I had many reservations about the surgery he made me comfortable with his recommendations and the surgery was both painless and successful! I am so glad I went through with this, I am now able to drive without glasses! His office workers were professional, exhibited kindness, knowledgeable and explained and answered all the questions I asked. The wait time in his clean, comfortable lobby was always around 10 minutes. This has been an amazing experience, I would recommend Alvarado Eye to anyone looking for an exceptional Ophthalmologist and Surgeon. Good work Alvarado Eye staff and Dr katzman.

When I first came into the office, the staff were friendly and welcoming. They were very efficient. The doctor was great. He explained everything to me to my satisfaction. I had complete confidence. I couldn't ask for more out of an office!

This is a long overdue review! Dr.Joseph Mannen performed a thorough exam on my eyes, the best part was his explanation using the computer images. Thanks for caring and explaining my health!

I felt I was in competent hands from a well-educated doctor with a great bedside manners. She spent extra time with me to answer all my concerns and educated me on what to expect in the future. This was no way a factory, which I have experienced in the past with other facilities.

Friendly and professional staff. The place is clean and well lit. They have the latest state of the art equipment. The tech is knowledgeable and professional. The Doctors are amazing, top of their fields. My Doctor was kind and patient, carefully explained everything.
