Would you believe me if I wrote that Dr. Sadique Stelzner is a miracle worker? I am a 70 year old woman who had a serious issue with cataracts. I was very much afraid to have the recommended laser surgery in both eyes, but I finally did (3 months ago). And I had cornea replacement. Wow. I saw a different world following the surgeries! A couch in my home which I thought was gray in color turned out the be blue! The world was brighter and lighter. The difference between pre-surgery and post-surgery was amazing. The surgery (which was performed at an out patient surgery center in Santa Monica) was quick and painless. Dr. Stelzner did the surgeries and Dr. Moghaddam did the follow-up. The results were wonderful. The office staff is friendly and efficient, and the office are clean and have state-of-the-art equipment. I am kicking myself that I delayed having these surgeries for so many years. The experience has made a huge difference in my quality of life.

Although Dr. Stelzner is a fine doctor, her office manager is incompetent! In May when I called to make an appointment, the mgr. told me my insurance was cancelled, which was untrue. She repeatedly ARGUED and INSISTED. After several calls to my insurance co. and group, who confirmed my ins. was never cancelled, she refused to listen. Imagine my shock! I even asked the ins.co. to call her. Now I learn that Dr. Stelzner discharged me without any respect, or consideration as her patient, or without asking ME what happened!
I guess " the Hippocratic Oath" thou shall do no harm, doesn't apply here.

Dr. Stelzner performed my cataract surgeries on both eyes at about 2 weeks apart. Each took about 20 minutes and I did not feel any pain or even discomfort. Just a little sting with the first application of the numbing drops, but that didn't even last a minute. I am very impressed with her professionalism and demeanor and highly recommend her and her team for anyone needing to deal with any sort of vision problem.

I had a series of painful eye problems. At one point, on a weekend, I started having an allergic reaction to a prescribed medication. I e-mailed Dr. Sadiqa Stelzner and laid down to get some rest to ease the pain. By the time I awoke, she had called, discussed the situation with my daughter, and had a new prescription filled at my pharmacy. Today, my vision is good and I am pain free. Thanks to Dr. Sadiqa Stelzner for seeing me through to the end!
