Angelique Pillar, MD

Dr Pillar is an amazing ophthalmologist. I didn't realize she was a corneal specialist when I first saw her. It turned out I needed a corneal scraping in addition to cataract surgery so she was perfect for that. She's very professional and I trust her judgment. I've referred a few friends and everyone has been extremely satisfied with her care.

I have never written a review for a doctor before, but Dr. Pillar is truly incredible. She really cares about her patients and it shows. I'm so lucky I found her. She was able to accommodate me last minute and put me at ease immediately and throughout the whole appointment. Highly recommended!

Dr. Pillar went above and beyond to care for my husband. She's extremely Professional, personable and takes her time to make sure her patients understand everything and feel comfortable with her care. She put us at ease when he was having a procedure done for his cornea and was so accommodating. I can't say enough accolades about her care.

Dr. Pillar has an extensive and current knowledge about the latest procedures. My cataract/lasik surgery went very well. Dr. Pillar and her staff are personable, helpful and patient. All give thorough explanations and answer questions in lay person terms. I am thrilled with the outcome.

Product fine, service shoddy. If you want to waste your life in a waiting room waiting for 30+ min after your assigned start time, for all checkups, this is this place for you! The laser worked after 2nd try both eyes, though not perfect 20/20. Dr. Pillar is efficient and punctual. I would give her 5/5. However, her optometrist (which is 90% of visits/checkups) is reliably 40 minutes late for every appointment and says "thats normal" ro every symptom you give him. Receptionists in the office are just there to manage disgruntled patients.

Dr. Pillar is truly incredible. She was able to accommodate me in an emergency as we were visiting from out of state. Highly recommend her. Thank You so much.

Continued... I went to a place in mission vly and I don't think the girl working there knew what she was doing. She kept messing with the machine and having me adjust back and forth. Finally she printed something out and they said I have cataracts and I'm not a candidate for lasik. Well I'd been to four different places before the pandemic and all of them said I was a great candidate and that I wouldn't get the flap kind, some new machine would just laser right on my eye. They also had a problem with my age 55 yrs young and that seemed strange to me because that's when allot of us start needing. glasses. Right?! So I thought ok let's go to La jolla and see if the higher price places make a difference. So I went to one with that exact name. They told me I have bad dry eye and I have to get two different kinds of drops and do a month long regimen to get my eyes in order. So I went to the store and bought the drops and started doing what she told me to. Mind you this place was horrible to park and the actual office and where you have to park was a day hike away from each other. Then no validation for parking at 4 bucks per half hour. She seemed nice but on her walls all I saw was general medicine degrees. I didn't see anything about eyes. So two weeks into my drops I get a phone call from her nurse/helper and she said I'm probably not a good candidate. Here we go again. So I go to one north of miramar off the 8 in that industrial valley area up there and I won't even get into that one. Didn't like anything about it. Finally I Thought I'd better go see a cornea specialist. I found One to One just off the 5 and balboa. And I remembered I had been at this complex years before getting massage. So I thought ok go there and see if I'm full of cataracts and dry eye and whatever is next. The parking was great. The staff were nice and very attentive. I went in and met Dr pillar and I thought wow. She's younger than the others. Had more schooling than the others. She did more test in less time that all the others. Told me I have no sign at all of cataracts. Slight dry eye but nothing that will hinder getting lasik. She did notice something that she didn't have the machine to check, so she sent me a little way up the fwy to the place where I actually had the procedure and they ok'd. me for surgery. Two weeks later I had it done to both eyes on the 17 th. It's just two days later and I'm blown away how good my vision is. I haven't seen this good since my 20's I was able to drive myself to my one day check up. Then I'll have a one week check up and a one month . I should have done this long ago. Dr. Pillar is great. Super knowledgeable, Harvard, Yale,... if you want someone that will tell you like it is , she's the one you want. Since going here all my questions have finally been answered and I can finally see!

Dr Pilar is fantastic! She explains everything so well! She is extremely knowledgeable! I highly recommend her!
