Their advanced and sophisticated equipment was like none I've ever seen before. I was very impressed with how high tech everything in their office was. They make an extra effort to get to know their patients and find out what they need. They always remember me and make me feel very important. They would never suggest that I do something that wasn't necessary, and never pressured me. They were always very considerate and professional. Dr. Gaster is a Professor of Ophthalmology at UC Irvine,( and also has an office in Beverly Hills) and teaches other eye doctors how to do eye surgery. I feel very safe in his hands. Plus he is very calm and reassuring.

One thing I noticed about their office was how absolutely fantastic it smelled. They must clean or sanitize all the time. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. They almost always have a promotion or special going on. Whether its a complimentary consultation for new clients or a percent-off a certain service, I always get some sort of discount. This provider has so much helpful information available online. They have an impressive website that's easy to use, with forms that you can fill out before your appointment. They also have a great online presence in multiple directories. As soon as I walked through the door, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They went out of their way to make me feel special and appreciated. All in all, I adore Dr. Gaster as a doctor. He always makes me feel comfortable and safe in his hands. He answers all of my questions fully and he is just an overall great guy. Plus, I'm someone who cares about what someone gives back to the community. Dr. Gaster has done a lot of volunteer work in third world other countries.
