Patient Testimonials for Thousand Oaks
Laser Eye Surgeon Dr. Paul Dougherty

Over the years, Dr. Dougherty has developed a reputation as "the doctor's doctor" due to the many healthcare professionals who have selected Dougherty Laser Vision for their vision correction needs. Here's what a few of our patients have to say about their experience.

I want to thank you for the LASIK treatment you performed on my eyes. I have had absolutely no problems, and my vision is perfect; 20/20 in each eye!

As a practicing optometrist in Ventura for the past 34 years, I recognize that you are one of the foremost eye surgeons in the United States. That is why I recommend you to all of my patients.

Complimenting your reputation is your fabulous staff. I was treated like family and every step along the process of my surgery was fully explained. There were no "surprises" at any time. This is of great comfort to patients going through eye surgery-even doctors!

The fact that I experienced no pain, and that my vision went from being "legally blind" before surgery to 20/20 vision on day one post-op, was miraculous!

Thanks again for taking such great care of me.

As an ophthalmic surgeon myself, I was very impressed with your surgical skills and reputation, which I had been aware of for some time. In fact, several years ago I promised myself that if I ever had LASIK performed on my own eyes, you would be my surgeon no matter how far I had to travel. I kept that promise, and the results of the procedure were stunning. The first day after LASIK, I had full uncorrected visual acuity. Two weeks later, I was back in Switzerland performing cataract surgery. My vision is perfect.

Thank you for everything you and your fantastic team did for me.

I just want to thank you for performing my LASIK. I have had an outstanding result, achieving uncorrected visual acuity of 20/15 in each eye.
I was able to got to work the next day, seeing a full load of patients. Two days after the surgery, I was back to performing LASIK on my own patients. It is truly a miracle.

As an ophthalmologist myself, I searched carefully and thoughtfully for the right surgeon to perform the procedure on me. I was extremely impressed with your attention to detail and your outstanding staff. I would highly recommend Dougherty Laser Vision to anyone considering refractive surgery.

I greatly appreciate the gift of vision you have given me. Prior to surgery, my vision was so poor that I couldn't recognize people in the pool until they we were virtually bumping heads.

I'd been to other offices in the past and rejected the surgeons due to the lack of informed consent. I felt the discussion of risk you provided was excellent. You made me feel very reassured during surgery. The next morning my vision was 20/20, and I was back in the office seeing patients. The following week my vision improved to 20/15. I can now see waves coming and wind surfing is even more of a rush!

I can't thank you enough for my new vision. What a life-changing experience! I keep thinking that it was just too easy. My vision changed dramatically in a matter of hours, and I am now completely free from glasses and contacts for the first time since I can remember.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

I decided to have LASIK surgery after having worn glasses since the age of six. My vision was roughly 20/400 when I contacted your office for an evaluation. You had come highly recommended by several of my colleagues.

Your exam was thorough and the time you spent explaining the procedure and answering my questions was more than adequate. The follow up care was excellent, and my outcome was perfect.

I strong recommend Dougherty Laser Vision to anyone considering LASIK.

I want to thank you for giving me the gift of 20/20 vision, which I have not experienced since grade school. The surgery was so quick and painless. It's hard to believe that I could walk into the office with 20/500 vision, and walk out seeing 20/20.

I also want to thank your great staff for making me feel very comfortable and confident in your services. Eye surgery can be a very scary thing, but I would certainly recommend Dougherty Laser Vision.

As an artist, I need to plan each new painting with a foreground, middleground and background. Thank you for giving me the ability to clearly see all of them with the surgery you performed on my eyes. The result was all that you promised.

I want to thank you for the excellent job you did correcting my vision. I'll be driving an Indy car next month at the California Speedway, and the crystal-clear sight I now have will be most appreciated at 200 miles per hour! Of course, the day-to-day improvement in sight is great as well.
