My wife and I are truly grateful for your help. We both enjoy perfect vision now and have you to thank. As a physician, I can appreciate good bedside manner and your sincerity was palpable. Elective surgery can be a difficult decision but you were able to articulate the risks and benefits to ease our anxiety. We are even more pleased with the results; not only do we not have any complaints, but we remain in awe at our amazing visual acuity. I would not hesitate to refer my patients to you for LASIK.

I switched my cataract surgery from another well-known SB ophthalmologist to Dr. Paveloff and WOW am I glad I did! Before I felt like a number; at Dr. Paveloff's, I felt not only well cared for, but as if I were a human being. After wearing distance lenses for over 50 years, Dr. Paveloff's expertise has me seeing perfectly. His office is efficient; he is not only good at what he does but has a great bedside manner. I am a convert. If anyone is thinking about having their cataracts repaired, I's suggest a world-class surgeon like Dr. Paveloff!

Best day ever!
I can see up close again. Bye, bye readers -- may we never meet again. Yesterday I couldn’t make out the letters on a menu or my computer screen, yet today I can even read the tiny print on the back of a medicine bottle. Anyone considering Lasik for Presbyopia, go see Dr. Paveloff at Paveloff Vision Center. The procedure is super quick and didn't hurt at all. Seriously feel a decade younger (as long as I don't look in the mirror with my new bionic vision) Thank you!

I'm writing this review to acknowledge Dr Paveloff and his staff at the Vision Center. My recent experience with cataract surgery was flawless. Dr Paveloff's expertise was on full display for me. His command and communication during the procedure was completely reassuring. His prediction on lens correction was spot on. His staff, as well as the staff at the Santa Barbara Surgery Center were first rate. And most importantly the result has been excellent. If you are in need of cataract surgery, I could not recommend Dr Paveloff more highly. Dan Onorato

Staff all friendly and efficient. Dr Paveloff’s explanations are thorough and his surgical skills gave me confidence. No pain and results are good. I recommend this medical team and the office system Dr Paveloff has in place.
