Devin C Hymas's Online Review Report Card

I have been going to Dr. Hymus for many years. He has performed my regular exams, seen me same day when I had a problem, and done cataract surgery on both of my eyes. I trust him explicitly.

Very disappointed in the integrity and business ethics of Lynn Eye Medical Group (LEM). Dr Hymas did my eye exam. I went to EyewearHouse (EWH) to get my glasses made but didn't have the Rx with me. EWH contacted Lynn Eye for the Rx and I had reading, computer and sunglasses made. When the glasses came back it was obvious that Lynn Eye had given Lynn Eye the wrong Rx. Both EWH and I contacted Lynn Eye and we were given a second Rx dramatically different than the first and it did not contain the Rx for computer glasses. I drove back and asked to see Dr. Hymas. When office staff asked for the purpose I told them that I would like Lynn Eye to pay for their mistake and they refused stating that it is "common practice" to make the lenses manufacturer pay for their (the Drs) error. I was shuttled to a different person (not an office manager or supervisor as requested). After having a discussion about the integrity and ethics of paying for your own mistakes, Lynn Eye still refused to pay for their error either by refund or by paying for the new lenses. I drove to a different doctor, I got a 3rd Rx for distance, reading and computer all of which were different from the first 2 Rxs given to me by Lynn Eye. My new glasses are being manufactured now and it remains to be seen whether Lynn Eye will reimburse either me or the mfg company for Lynn Eye's mistake. I doubt that this would ever have happened while Dr. Cooper was practicing. Too bad he's retired.

Dr. Hymas did amazing surgery on both of my eyes to replace the lenses (cataracts) as well as to laser resurface to fix the astigmatisms I always had. I'm 64 and I see better now than I did in my 20s! Dr. Hymas is very thorough and explains everything so there will not be any surprises. I had no pain or any discomfort from either surgery (6 wks apart) and both of my eyes healed perfectly (follow the instructions with the eye drops for the full 4 weeks) and make sure that your insurance doesn't rip you off on the very important ILEVRO NSAID eye drops. Blue Cross / Blue Shield doesn't cover the 3.0ml size and they have a co-payment of $265.00 for the 0.8ml size (which is not enough). The free GoodRx app found a pharmacy (there are many) who sold the 3.0ml size for $275.00 at their usual discount, thanks for nothing Blue Cross / Blue Shield for charging me $1200.00/month plus huge deductibles and then not even covering these important eye drops.

Very, kind, caring, and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Hymas!

Dr. Hymas did an amazing job on my cataracts and fixed the astigmatism in both eyes. I'm 64 and now I have better eyesight than when I was in my 20s! Dr. Hymas is very caring, friendly and has great attention to detail. I feel like he worked a miracle as my eyesight was really terrible prior to the surgeries. Now my eyesight is perfect thanks to Dr. Hymas.

Dr. Hymas is not just one of the best in Thousand Oaks, Can. He really is the Best.

The best of the best, he is knowledgeable kind thorough and always makes the correct diagnosis . Being a physician myself I highly recommend Dr Hymas.

Outstanding care from Dr Hymas during my pre and post Cataract surgery. An absolute gentleman. Office and surgical staff are also outstanding.

Dr. Hymas is fantastic! He has worked on both my wife and daughter and both of them love him. He is warm and friendly and takes the time to talk and get to know you that most Doctors don't. Definitely five stars. Whether it's surgery or just glasses, I highly recommend Dr. Hymas.

First, and importantly, I am NOT rating Dr. Hymas's medical care since I did not meet with him.  I was a new patient today, and even though I am in the medical/mental health field, did not try to impress upon the office staff that fact. However, I arrived early, and after waiting over 15 minutes, approached the desk admin person about when I would be seen. She indicated " soon, just waiting for a room."  At that point, approximately 11:45, there was almost no one in the waiting room. Other patients had all been seen, perhaps by other professionals. After waiting another 15 minutes, over 30 minutes to be seen, I informed the staff I was leaving and would not reschedule. I worked with the California Medical Board for over five years, and am very familiar with how physicians practice medicine and what constitutes a fair standard of care. How patients are handled at Dr. Hymas's office, at least for me today, is sub-standard care.  At the very least, I should have been informed if there was a clinical emergency or he was running late. I won't be back.
