Dr. Andrew Ian Caster, MD

Got LASIKS done, Dr. Caster was amazing! very pleasant experience. very caring staff, highly recommend him. Laura was so caring and helpful.

What a great experience. Wonderful doctor and wonderful results.

Researched LASIK for years and finally chose Dr. Caster to do it. I have been wearing glasses/contacts my whole life and am amazed with the results. Had the procedure done three weeks ago and am very happy with the results thus far. Truly life changing, wish I would have done it sooner! Also, the staff are very friendly and helpful, great experience.

I can See!!! Best money ever spent!!!! Totally recommend Dr. CASTER and his wonderful staff!!!!!!!

Got my LASIK a year ago and it was the best decision of my life!!! Expensive but worth it!!

This review is mainly for Dr. Caster, but I also want to add that I think LASIK should be illegal. Every person I know who has had the surgery, and who has started out saying it's great, within a few months they all start complaining of the same problems. Problems that I myself have experienced after LASIK. So be careful, no matter what doctor you go to. As far as Dr. Caster, I did not like him from the beginning. He was rather odd and seemed irritated every time I met with him. I found out later that he himself had LASIK, which explains some of his odd behavior. Anyways, I waited a few months before I did it since I didn't really like Caster. He started out saying I could only get PRK because my corneas were too thin. But after getting PRK done on the left eye, the vision was bizarro in that eye, so I waited to get the other eye done. Dr. Caster found out I was unhappy with the PRK, so he suggested I try LASIK on the right eye. But he had initially said I couldn't do LASIK cause of my… thin corneas. Now he was saying he could do LASIK, if he used a special instrument. I wish I would have known that from the start, because I got LASIK done on my right eye, and I see much better out of the LASIK eye. Caster had told me my vision after LASIK would be the same as my vision after PRK, but he was wrong. Both procedures do different things to the eye, so there's no way the outcomes are going to be the same. But my vision in both eyes is NOT NEARLY AS GOOD as it was with glasses, before I had these surgeries. This surgery is a rip-off. It's just a big money maker like all these dangerous procedures such as botox injections and the like. Getting your eye cut into is as bad as it sounds, and destroys various facets of human eyesight. Anyways, back to Dr. Caster. When I went to get the second eye done, Caster made me wait forever, like over an hour past my appointment time. I think it was because he wanted me to take the Xanax prior to the surgery, which I had said I didn't need. I overheard his rude nurse saying that I was "stupid" for not taking the Xanax. She's the same girl who accidentally prepared my left eye for surgery, when it was my right eye they were going to do. (Fortunately another nurse pointed this out to her, before they lasered the wrong eye.). What's interesting is that this girl had also had LASIK. All the people at his office who had LASIK themselves are half blind and don't know what the heck they're doing. I should also point out that when I wrote a negative review of Caster a few years ago, on Yelp, he kept sending me messages asking me who I was and saying he and his office were looking for me in his files (which was especially odd being he didn't know my name). When I didn't respond, he sent me this angry email, which was publicly visible for a while, saying that I was lying in my review. The guy has anger control issues. I've also heard he's been sued once or twice. My eyes will never be the same. Value and enjoy the body you have. Don't get suckered into unnecessary surgeries like this one.

Best Decision I've ever Made! I did a lot of research before having my Lasik done because I was terrified and wanted to make sure I had the best doctor. I asked everyone I could and looked on the internet for testimonials. So many people had gone to Dr. Caster and recommended him without question. They were all 1000 percent thrilled and said I would be too. I judge a doctor's office by their staff. Every single person I came in contact with was so amazing there. So nice, so knowledgeable and went out of their way to make me comfortable. They even validated my parking every time I was there. Dr. Caster was wonderful. He did my pre-exam personally, said I was a great candidate and explained everything to me. I had a million questions and he answered all of them, not like other doctors who rush you in and rush you out. Everything was explained to me about the day of the procedure. Even though I was there a couple of hours, I was given great meds so that I wasn't nervous.… My family was allowed to watch the whole procedure and they said it only took a couple of minutes for the actual Lasik. I had to wear some goggles, that night and Dr. Caster called me at home to make sure I was ok. The amazing thing was when I woke up in the morning, I could see my gorgeous husband's face next to me . . . without having to first put my glasses on. I even drove myself to my appointment the next morning. This is the best thing I ever did for myself. Being able to see without glasses is worth everything and I didn't even need to be terrified because Dr. Caster and his staff made me so at ease and the surgery went without a hitch. I can tell you if you want Lasik surgery, you can go to Dr. Caster and be SO happy with your decision.

This is one doctor's office I love to visit! From the first moment I walked in, I knew this was the place for me! Dr. Caster and his staff are wonderful! Everyone is professional and made me feel at ease. The procedure was quick and painless! So happy I went to Dr. Caster for my LASIK, he really is the best LASIK surgeon in LA!!

After doing all my research on doctors and reading so many amazing things I decided to pay DR. Caster a visit. He really was amazing like they said. He was close to my home in Los Angeles, He made me feel comfortable and explained every detail to me. Before I knew it the procedure was over, just like he said and I instantly saw improvement. He also, saw me through to my recovery and kept up with me all the way. I recommend him to everyone! Dr. Caster is really all the good things they say!

I'm so glad I trusted my eyes to Dr. Caster. I get squeamish when anything touches my eyes but Dr. Caster was so patient and gentle. The procedure was fast and painless. Best of all, I don't need glasses or contacts anymore!
