Wish I could give 100 stars. Dr. Starr performed laser cataract surgery on two of my eyes. I read a book for the first time without glasses since I was 25. I don't need glasses not for near or for distance and my work is in graphics and photography. I have no problem driving at night either. I feel much safer and confident with my new implants. I am glad she gave me all the possible options and explained them with both videos and in person. I was very comfortable with my final decision and the results were great. Very dedica... read more

I drive 2 hours each way to see her, though we have an eye doctor only 10 minutes drive from where I live. I have nothing but the most stellar remarks for Dr. Starr and her staff. Her staff are top graduates from Berkeley. They are professional, polite and caring, a reflection of how Dr. Starr herself treats her patients. I have had two cataract surgeries and a correction of eyeli... read more

Dr. Starr and I go back a long way. She is a remarkable person and an amazing physician and surgeon. I have had two cataract and one eyelid correction surgery by her and they turned perfect. Her staff are polite, professional and caring, a reflection of Dr. Starr herself. They are all top Berkeley and Stanford gradates. I first saw her in Berkeley 15 years ago, then moved out of the area after I retired. A while back, I was diagnosed with glaucoma. I have been driving 2 hours each way each time I see her and it is worth the ... read more

So I had really droopy lids and a large puffy lower lid after years of smoking ( which I finally quit 10 years ago). Dr. Starr said she would not operate on smokers because of poor results. She also explained to me what a "realistic expectation" was. However I had not been smoking for a while and she agreed. This was a year and a half ago. She was very reasonable. More importantly, she was extremely attentive, answered my many frantic weekend and after hours calls with calmness and insight, and walked me through the healing ... read more

Dr. Starr is an excellent physician! I have had two eye surgeries done by her and both turned out perfectly. She is compassionate and kind and explains the procedures in detail and in a lay person's language. I felt very comfortable going into the surgery and her follow up care was exemplary. I unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Starr.

She is absolutely the best eye doctor I have had. Cataract surgery went great. No glasses. Great staff.
