Terrible experience with Dr D********, he performed prk surgery on eyes, but now they're worse than ever..I wish I went elsewhere, because this lasik surgeon is not to be trusted...

I absolutely loved Dougherty Laser Vision (DLV Vision) my mom had cataract surgery with Dr. Bala and is now 20/20. The staff & team really care about their patients. I had a great experience & highly recommend.

I had LASIK monovision done on my eyes in June of 2020 by Dr Dogherty at Dogherty Laser Eye Vision in Westlake Village. I was told that I would have improved vision for 7-10 years. After the surgery I had dry eyes, at nighttime I would see halos around the headlights of approaching cars and had to wear glasses to minimize this. Both things improved and I had been very happy. I've referred the Dr and his office to many friends and anyone else saying they had vision complaints. I told them they would be so happy they did it and that they would be in great hands with this doctor and office. Fast forward to January of 2023, I noticed that my short distance reading eye was fuzzy and no longer able to see or read without squinting. I made an apt to go see the Dr and was told that this was "normal" and that I needed a touch up. Which they wanted me to pay them more money for! . I cannot stress enough that this is not what I was told before the surgery. I would not have spent the amount of money out of pocket because insurance does not cover Lasik. Had I known that my vision would've only been improved for 2 1/2 years. I spoke with M**** who is the office manager at Dogherty Laser Eye Vision and she informed me that the doctor would have to be the one that would make the decision on this and that he was out of town, and that she would discuss this with him and get back to me. I have since called her numerous times, and left many voicemails to no avail. I learned my lesson the hard way, do not trust this office. They do not stand behind their work or their patients. It is all about making money, and not about following through with the things that they tell their patients when trying to get them to trust them, give them their money, and have surgery with them.
