Krivoy Daniel MD

Yes, the waits are long. He’s a renowned eye specialist. His bedside manner isn’t amazing, but he’s exceptionally thorough and competent. If we still lived in the Bay Area, he’d continue to be my specialist.

These reviews annoy me. Yes, let’s be straight up, you will wait FOREVER to see Dr. Krivoy. It is annoying. But there is a reason. He is the best glaucoma doctor in Los Angeles and if you are at risk of losing your vision, I would say it’s worth the wait. Dr. Ritch is known as the best glaucoma doctor in the world and I saw him in NY and he referred me to Dr. Krivoy. I am pretty much friends with all the staff I go there so much and they are always nice to me. I could see maybe some people may have a problem with staff and billing, but you aren’t reviewing them, you are reviewing Dr. Krivoy. I hope no one ever goes through the fear of going blind but if you ever do, you will wait for hours, days, or months to see the person that could possibly save your vision.

My father is 91 and had to have glaucoma surgery. Dr. Krivoy came highly recommended but I also had my father go to see another Doctor to make sure that the selected physician was the best. After that consultation, Dr. Krivoy was chosen to do the surgery.
The surgery went smoothly and my father couldn’t be happier. Dr. Krivoy is simply the best!

Today, an emergency appointment was scheduled for me by a referring physician. To my disappointment and aggravation, I arrived at Dr. Krivoy’s office at 12:45 PM and I left at 3:30 PM. Not only did the doctor not accomplish the mission he was set out to embark upon, he put me through unnecessary examinations, dilated my eyes and charged me for all these extras. When I explained to Dr. Krivoy that I wanted him to focus solely on the problem I went there for, he said, «Don’t worry, I’ll let the front staff know we spoke and they’ll take care of everything for you.» As innocuous a statement as that was, I assumed I would not be overcharged when I approached the snotty front desk assistant. She ran my credit card and said the doctor did honor his word and he gave me a discount. No, on the contrary, he overcharged for procedures I did not need! Not only did he lose a new patient, he has shown himself to be unethical and uncaring about the best interest of his patients. If you want competent and proper treatment, I recommend you find a different ophthalmologist to go to.
