Friedman Eye Center

I have gone to Dr. Friedman for a long time and his service has been fine. I am lucky I have good insurance. He has always been on time, attentive and down to business which is what I prefer. I just want quality service, I don't need to be coddled. All good

Would give zero stars if I could! My family & I will NEVER be returning! First, there is a $100 "refraction fee" on top of the $205 exam fee. That is madness! I've worn glasses for 15 years and contacts for 4 and let me tell you I have never paid more than $90 flat at costco. Just wait, it gets even better! They wanted to charge me an EXTRA $100 for a contact fitting!! What?? That would make my total $405 just for a prescription?! When I asked Friedman about it, he said things like "It's just business" like he didn't even care about me only about the money. When I ordered contacts online the Friedman eye center refused to cooperate with them and they refused to give them my prescription. They left a voicemail saying that I HAD to buy my contacts at their center. That is ILLEGAL. Luckily, I was able to get a hold of my old eye doctor so I could order contacts. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. It is all a SCAM.

I made a huge mistake in trusting this doctor for my cataract surgery! All he cares about is how quickly he can deal with you, he promises results that do not happen, and then blames your eyes for the unsuccessful surgery. He does not care that the surgery was unsuccessful. What he cares about is money! I agreed with his recommendation for spending a large amount of money for a lens that would allow me to use my right eye for closeup reading, and the left eye would be a regular lens at no extra cost. After an excruciatingly painful surgery on my right eye, my eye now has extremely limited "out of focus" vision and definitely is no help for reading anything. I experience headaches and extreme eye strain in both eyes while I try to read with "readers" he suggested, and I will now have to get new bifocals and hope they work with a right eye that does not work at all. I now have to use a magnifying glass to see up-close. He has made all sorts of excuses why the surgery was not successful. If he had not been so upbeat and totally positive with his recommendation, I would never have spent the extra money required for the special lens. He even disputed the fact what results were agreed upon. This doctor is full of charm, but beware, and "get it in writing!" Better yet, stay away from him!

Dr. Friedman has cared for my sight with skill and expertise. And my eyes are complicated. I've been a patient of Dr. Friedman for his entire career in the Monterey Peninsula. My whole family has and we all have the same or near same complications. I wouldn't go anywhere else. His staff is courteous and helpful. Thank you.

I've trusted my eyes to Dr. Friedman for going on 20 years, first with glasses, then Lasik surgery and recently for cataracts in both eyes. He "nailed" the surgeries first time each time, no tuneups needed. Staff is friendly and well-trained; all options are explained and weighed according to individual need.

Great Doc. Dr Friedman has provided for my eye care for over 10 years now . I was sold on his service when he corrected my eyes and I could read again without glasses, this was a major and unexpected bonus . If people have problems , I would guess it is only because he has a very busy office.

We have the worest experience with my husband eye surgery His assistant Jennifer is horrible yelling at us when my husband explain his problem when we told the dr. De didn't seem to care And even with the results of the surgery we had to do it twice to correct the vesion and still not getting the results were promised. So unhappy.

DON'T COME HERE. As others have said he is only interested in $$. He asked me for money for an appointment that should be included. He actually called me personally and told me to pay my bill. Since when do you pay for follow up appointments from surgery??
