Love Dr. Diana Kersten!  She removed my Pterygium that had grown into my line of vision.  As you can imagine, having surgery on your eye can be a scary thing.  Everyone at the San Clemente office was so friendly and the staff at the Surgery Center were sweet and caring.  It has been 10 days since the surgery and I cannot be more pleased with the outcome.  Thank you, Dr. Kersten, for what you do!

As a local physician, I have known the doctors of Harvard Eye for decades. Their competence and patient care is second to none. Both my wife and I have had multiple surgeries and ongoing care from their offices, both in Laguna Hills and San Clemente. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and everyone. They have specialists in every area, and can meet all your needs. I'm just recovering from recent cataract surgery with outstanding results! Couldn't be happier!!!

If your considering cataract surgery this is the place you need to go to! Dr. Teymoorian is the best. Having done both eyes over the past year and half, I can tell you first hand, it's a painless procedure, the recover last about 2 weeks, with eye drops to help the healing process. After the procedure it's amazing what your eyes have been missing, bright whites and amazing colors!

We have a lot of experience with doctors over the years, and the first impression the office makes when you call is generally a good indication of how satisfying the relationship will be over time. I knew from that first call to Harvard Eye Associates that we were going to be glad we chose them. My wife had cataract surgery in both eyes with Dr. Keller, and not only was he great (smart, personable, caring), but every single staff member was the same. All are friendly and very good at their jobs. We could not give a better or more enthusiastic recommendation.

I have been going to Harvard Eye for at least 8 years. I have seen Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Teymorian and cannot say enough wonderful things about each of these doctors. I had a follow-up today with Dr. Teymoorian as I see him every 4 months to treat my glaucoma. The new office is beautiful and very well run. They have taken every precaution in keeping their patients safe during this pandemic. I was not at all concerned going into their offices this morning as I felt very safe. Despite the masks, you could still see the smiles on everyone's faces.

I am so thankful for the care I got from Doctor Edward Kim and staff. I had cataract surgery and it was painless. I woke up seeing like i hadn't in over thirty years. I love not having to wear glasses for every day activities. I would highly recommend the surgery if cataracts are making your vision cloudy and you can trust Dr. Kim to exceed your expectations.

Dr. Jeffrey L. Jacobs is an absolutely amazing doctor. I came in for a small procedure and Dr. Jacobs was hands down the nicest, most caring, patient, and well-spoken doctor I've ever seen. He really cares about his patients, goes above and beyond, and is a breath of fresh air. Additionally, the office was beautiful, the front-staff and medical assistants were really kind and very organized.
