Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Starr is extremely detail oriented and he gave me the most thorough eye exam of my life. He listens to all my concerns. I recommend him without reservations to anyone needing a new ophthalmologist.

The BEST eye doctor!
Dr. Starr is a terrific eye specialist! I came to him for new lenses for my glasses after cataract surgery. He was very gentle examining my eyes. He made very precise markings on my old lenses so that the new lenses would be exact. The cost was affordable for me, retired on a teachers pension. He is kind, personable (has a very good sense of humor) and very professional. Also, his receptionist could not be nicer! I highly recommend Dr. Starr!!

If you are looking for a professional, competent, and caring doctor to perform your LASIK, look no further. Dr. Starr is amazing! It has been 6 months since he gave me back the gift of sight. I have two conditions which interfered with being able to see clearly without contacts or glasses. Now, when I wake up and start my day, I am able to see my world clearly and experience vision like I did 25 years ago. Thank you Dr. Starr for using your knowledge and skills to make such an impact on my life. Your passionate and sincere desire to see my vision restored was worth every penny and so sincerely appreciated. Cindy Lent

Dr. Robert Starr is the best eye doctor! I work in a wood shop and I had blurry vision, pain, redness, light sensitivity, and swelling in both eyes. I went to the emergency room at Huntington Beach Hospital and thank goodness they referred me to Dr. Starr. After the most thorough examination of my life, Dr. Starr diagnosed and treated my eyes. I feel so much better now and I see perfectly. I am definitely going to send my family and my friends and I recommend him strongly. Thank you Dr. Starr!

Dr. Robert Starr is the best ophthalmologist and he saved my eye! I was grinding metal at work this morning and a piece hit me in my left eye. I was in agony, my eye was red, and I could not see. A friend referred me to Dr. Starr and he helped me call his office. Dr. Starr came on the phone himself and told me to come right in. I have never heard of a doctor who would do this. What an amazing doctor! Dr. Starr removed a piece of metal from my eye and now I can see! I am going to send all of my friends and my family to Dr. Starr and am forever grateful to him.

Dr. Starr did my LASIK surgery over 15 yrs ago and I continue to have 20/15. My family and I have been going to him since then. He's very respectful, listens to your issues, and takes his time with you. He's very thorough with his exam and always treats you like VIP. When my son was in the police academy and scratched his cornea and had pepper sprayed in his eyes, Dr. Starr treated him everyday (even on the weekend) and saved his vision! As a nurse, I feel safe knowing my eyes and my families eyes are in great hands.

As a surgeon, my keen sight is key to performing my craft. It also allows me to know how to select the ophthalmologist who is on top of their game, being most knowledgeable and skilled. That is why I choose Dr. Starr not only for my patients' care as my "go-to" for the past two decades but also for my own care. My patients thank me for the referral for Dr. Starr's thoroughness often. Recently, after hours I noted an acute concern that proved to be non-serious, though the differential diagnosis might also include a more serious problem. Dr. Starr returned my call left on the answering service that night and opened his office the next morning on his day off. That speaks volumes as to his dedication to his patients and doing what is in his patient's best interests despite sacrificing his own time off and scheduled plans. You are in great hands with Dr. Staff for both general eye health maintenance, injuries, and eye concerns.

We have had the BEST experience with Dr. Starr, his staff and his office. He is the most caring doctor I have ever dealt with. We took my 87 year old mother to see him to see if she is eligible for cataract surgery, but instead of putting her under the knife and taking in the money, he genuinely looked at all the risks and benefits. Since I don't live in the same State as my mother, and she doesn't speak English very well, Dr. Starr took extra time to speak with me on the phone during her visit and also during a follow up call. He truly took care of my mother as he would his own mother. His sound advice, professionalism and care was astounding! I had taken my mother to another eye doctor but we were so displeased with their hands off that I searched for Mr. Starr. Very lucky to have found him. Highly recommend Doctor Starr.

Dr Starr together with his staff, Ms Cindy were very professional. From the moment I stepped inside his office which was clean and organized, I felt welcome and respected. Dr Starr was very kind and he explains everything in ways even a layman can understand. Social distancing was strictly observed. Overall my experience was excellent. Thank you Dr Starr and Ms Cindy! Keep up the great work!
