I recently had cataract surgery at Vanguard Eye Institute in Santa Monica, and the whole experience was excellent. Dr. William Christien is not only highly skilled but also caring and attentive, he really listened to my concerns. The results have been amazing: I now have 20/20 vision, and everything is crystal clear. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend him to anyone. Seriously, don't even think about going anywhere else!

It has been just over two months since Dr. Christian performed my cataract surgery and I cannot be happier with the outcome. The recovery was easy (over in a few weeks) and my eyesight is excellent. The whole process, from the surgery itself to the outcome, has been exactly as Dr. Christian described. In the consultations leading up to the surgery, he answered every question patiently and clearly. The whole team was great.

The eyedrops were also very helpful. The discussion that the assistant had with Dr. Christian based on the tests was very good, and it helped for Dr. Christian to analy... read more

Dr. Christian is clearly at the top of his game. Just had cataract surgery and am very happy with my new eyes! Dr. Christian is experienced, professional, and has good bed side manners. His staff are always friendly. I highly recommend The Vanguard Eye Institute.
