I first met with Dr. Kamen in May 2015, when he successfully performed my (75-year-old) brother-in-law's cataract surgery. My brother-in-law was very pleased with the outcome of the procedure.
The past couple of years I have started to see four (4) opthalmologists, specialized in cataract, glaucoma, and retina, to check the blurriness I had been experiencing. All the offices of these specialists were close to where I live, which is in Walnut. There seemed to be just a lot of testings and observations, as well as prescribing different drops, but there was no improvement. Then, I remembered Dr. Kamen and decided to drive about 40 miles from home to get his expert opinion. It was a no-nonsense visit because he confirmed the cataract in both my eyes were causing the blurriness and suggested to remove them to improve my vision. Furthermore, he was able to put the "plug," in both my eyes to remedy the dryness. The other ophthalmologist who I have been seeing, although gave the option to put "plug," but was not sure if my insurance covers it (I questioned that because I always deal with medical professionals, and they normally are the ones who knows or justifies such with the insurance company.) To think that I had been going to there since October 2018 and could not justify the need for a "plug" with my health insurance. This further demonstrates Dr. Kamen's knowledge and experience in this area, as well as the process.
Another thing I appreciated of Dr. Kamen was his consideration and understanding. Knowing the distance we had to travel, he squeezed in his busy schedule to see my husband who was recommended for cataract examination by his optometrist. There was no wasted time, we were both scheduled for cataract surgeries in August 2020 for the right eye, and then the other eye was scheduled in September 2020. Both my eyes and my husband's have improved. Dr. Kamen did not disappoint.
Once again, thank you Dr. Kamen for taking care of us and for making us feel at home and assured with the decision we made. Your professionalism, confidence, responsiveness, easy-going and trustworthy personality, and your warm staff made this experience stress-free. Well done and God bless you in helping people!
Special mention to LINDA (Dr. Kamen's senior staff). She's always pleasant, reliable, and very prompt in returning calls. I appreciate her professionalism and warm personality. Keep up the good work, Linda!
