Peter J Cornell's Online Review Report Card

My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Peter Cornell and have been for many years. Dr. Cornell is the best medical doctor we have ever had the pleasure of interacting with as a patients. Both Dr. Cornell and his staff conduct themselves with the highest level of professionalism. Because of the high level of confidence we both have in his skill as an eye surgeon we both underwent cataract surgery on both eyes with excellent results. Thank you, Dr. Cornell for the gift of vision!

Peter is very condescending. With poor people skills!

Dr Cornell is the best decision I have made for my eye care. The cataract surgery was successful and the office staff made it so smooth. Dr Cornell is truly an amazing dr. Can’t recommended him higher

It is a shame Dr.Cornell has few reviews,especially from some stupid people who gave him less then 5 stars. I have a thriving plastic surgery practice snd have been in practice for close to 50 years I have my own surgery center called Boriscosmetic. Today I had cataract surgery by Dr.Cornell. He deserves 20 stars. I did my research.Also I had consultations with other doctors. He is by far the best in the business. I would not trust my eyes to anyone one else in LA . I know medicine and how to choose a doctor,since I am one,with 50 years experience. My surgery today went perfect. His office,the surgical center perfect. He is in my opinion the best. He deserves much more than 9 reviews and all of them should be 5 stars

Five stars aren’t anywhere near enough. I have had the very good fortune and privilege to have my eyes looked after by Peter Cornell for over 20 years now, ever since we moved to Los Angeles. I cannot recommend Dr Cornell highly enough. (He was recommended by the other highly-renowned ophthalmologist who had looked after me in New York for many years and first operated on me when I was about 5 years old). Dr Cornell, a world class ophthalmic surgeon and his team have been nothing but exquisitely professional for all those years. About a year ago, yes in the middle of covid, my vision started getting rapidly worse: we had long been monitoring my regular cataracts but it turns out a second, uncommon fast-growing type also appeared frighteningly quickly. I could barely see through one eye and the other was also starting to go. It was an incredibly scary time. Demand on medical professionals has been off the charts during covid and yet, as he was for all the many years before, Peter was calm, attentive and immensely reassuring. He took time, listened carefully, explained all the options. You never felt rushed. On one occasion, there was a medical emergency he had to attend to, the waiting time was admittedly long, he apologized so much, all that I could answer was that he was well worth the wait. Let’s face it, when you go to a fast food restaurant, the service is quick but the quality isn’t close to a restaurant where the chef needs some time to prepare a good meal. I like fast food too, but these are my only two eyes.. They are easily worth a bit of patience. Surgeries with Dr Cornell were scheduled and, in the time leading up to those surgeries, somewhere approaching a dozen of my friends (who didn’t know I was a patient of Dr Cornell) told me I needed to go see Dr Cornell, that he was the best person for the surgery. Until my surgeries, I had worn distance glasses since I was a kid and, after about 40, reading glasses. Now, I see perfectly from about 2 feet away to infinity and only need very weak reading glasses. Today I had my six month post operative follow up and all is great. It was Thanksgiving a few days ago. I am so grateful for Dr Cornell. COULD. NOT. BE. HAPPIER.

Dr Peter Cornell was the best decision I made in my eye health. I researched three other drs for my cataract surgery but Dr Cornell was so professional and thorough that I decided to do my surgery with him, I was also Refrred by two other people that were so happy. the whole process was so smooth and professional. the staff is excellent as well. I could not recommend him more. if you are looking. for top notch care this is the place to go. I now have 20-20 visio. so happy

Me operé hace 16 años y toda vía veo muy bien Gracias doctor Cornell

Updating here. After several days I finally got my prescription. If I were to give this practice the benefit of the doubt, their slow response time, laxness about calling in the prescription eye drops and flawed lines of communication might be due to something I don't know about given that there's an uptick in covid cases. I gave 3 stars because of this and because I finally got my medication.

This is the most disorganized staff I've ever encountered in LA. They couldn't get a prescription thru electronically( when all my other docs can) and refused to phone it in. Every time I called I had to start over! Explain the whole thing again. I had an acute situation and it's taken days. I still do not have the medecine. My pharmacy is still waiting I don't think they care about anything or anyone unless getting surgery to make money. I was a patient of Dr Cornell's some years ago. I left because I sensed too much emphasis on surgical procedures vs eye health and eye care. I don't think this office cares enough unless they are making big bucks. Now they were barely seeing people unless they want eye surgery. It's irresponsible to prescribe eye medicine for an eye infection and then not bother to make sure the pharmacy receives the rx.
