Yaron Rabinowitz, MD

I would have given 100 stars if Unilocal would allow it. Unfortunately 5 stars is the maximum.
I am a software engineer in Bio-​medical Company, where quality, effectiveness and patient safety are not compromised. Although, I know the risks of Lasik procedure, I still need to know what kind of machine they use, their surgery procedure, cleanliness, clinic’s mitigation and/​action in case of power failure or worse case machine failure. I know, I sound like an extremist, but I should be! After all, my eyes are important part of my body. I can’t replace my eyes that easy, even if it’s replaceable, it will be very costly. Remember, prevention is cheaper than treatment!
It took me about a year and 7 doctor interviews before finding Dr. Rabinowitz.
Trust me, I’ve done my research and not just Unilocal research, I personally go to the doctor’s clinic and interview the doctors and its staffs as well. I have to make sure, doctors are specialized in Lasik Eye Surgery and aren’t just doing the procedure for the money.
If you’re looking for a great Lasik doctor, don’t just look at Unilocal or the clinic’s website, you got to check out the place and interview the doctor. In one instance, I found this other lasik clinic in downtown LA, who claims to have the latest technology, most affordable and has the most rated reviews in Unilocal.Yet, going to the facility was a huge disappointment. They might have the best reviews but how many of them were actually true. I went to that clinic, it took 2 hours of my precious time (with 5 minutes of eye examination, 15 minutes of chit chat with the doctor not even related to lasik and the rest was waiting). By the end of that interview I found out that the facility was not even using a bladeless technology because the doctor does not trust computers (yet uses a laser machine). There was another instance where I found another doctor who would jump right in to schedule me for lasik after his assistant examined my eyes. But then his assistant doesn’t even know the surgery procedure. His assistant is probably new, but it was a big no no for me.
Then I found Cornea Eye Institute and met Dr. Rabinowitz. At first, I thought he’s one of those doctors who would do surgery for the money without considering the risks on the patient. But I was wrong. I guess I interviewed too many money sucking doctors and I judged Dr. Rabinowitz so quickly. After my eye examination, Dr. Rabinowitz laid out all the risks of lasik procedure. Not only that, we gave me a brief lecture on the anatomy of the eyes and how the lasik works. Its like taking Lasik 101. It was a scary discussion, but this is something that I NEED to know (and everybody whose considering lasik needs to know). Aside from that, Dr. Rabinowitz was extra cautious. It was around end of October when I had my first appointment with him and wished to have lasik done before Thanksgiving. Although, my eyes are in-​range of not having dry eyes (but in the lower level of wetness), Dr. Rabinowitz delayed my lasik surgery schedule to ensure that my eyes are in best condition as possible. This is to avoid complications. He gave me instructions on how to take care of my eyes prior the procedure. I had my surgery performed on Dec 10, 2015. Surgery was really fast. Dr. Rabinowitz, ensured me that I was comfortable as possible. He gave some relaxation medicine, so that I am calmed during the procedure.
Being the «best» doctor would be an understatement; he surpassed that description and my expectation. With high quality of customer service, observing patient safety together with knowledge on this area, what else I can ask for. I was beyond blessed to have my lasik done under his care.
Now I have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision on both eyes, no halos, no dry eyes and no more four-​eyes.

I just got Lasik done on the Feb 19^th and I couldn’t be any happier with the results! I still can’t believe these are my eyes now. The staff was incredible. They were all professional, sweet, and thorough. I felt very comfortable, informed, and cared for with them.
The procedure itself took 2 minutes (two hours total with the eye exams etc.) and the kind nurses helped calm my nerves which were all for nothing because it was one of the easiest procedures ever. I wish I had done this YEARS ago. This procedure has changed my life for the better and I feel so grateful.
I don’t think you can find a more qualified doctor than Dr. Rabinowitz. I wasn’t about to trust my eyes to just anyone and I’m so glad I chose him. The list of his experience and achiements goes on and on. He continually checks in with you and makes sure you don’t have any questions and that you feel comfortable.
If you are thinking about getting Lasik then I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Rabinowitz!

Dr. Rabinowitz performed PRK eye surgery on my eyes around 2 years ago, and my eyes are perfect now, which is a miracle considering how bad my vision was for most of my life. I don’t experience any glare or floaters which was explained to me as possible side-​effects. My night vision is nearly as sharp as daylight. I play tennis, although not nearly as good as Roger Federer, Dr. Rabinowitz identical twin brother or Dr. R for that matter. Awesome staff. World class service. A+

I was born extremely farsighted, +9 for you farsighted people. Two coke bottle bottoms to you novices, we are talking thick magnifying lens !
I had been searching the west coast for someone to help with my vision. The average nearsighted person can go just about anywhere for their LASIK. But farsighted people, we need specialist. I did my research, checked the web, talked to professionals in the eye care industry. My friend at Wallis optical said «your eyes, only one guy, Dr Yaron Rabinowitz.» Interesting, same name I kept running into in my research.
Set my appointment, went thru extensive testing. Dr Rabinowitz gave me the time to explain the options open to me with my eyes. I made the decision, had the surgeries,(for my eyes, different than LASIK,) one for each eye. I’m typing this on my iPhone without glasses.
NO MORE GLASSES! Of course, I’ll always have those dents in my nose that held those coke bottles in place my whole life.
Do your homework, you’ll find Rabinowitz in nearly every major research and cutting edge procedure being worked on. Good luck and good vision.
