Arthur Benjamin, MD

I had a very positive & worthwhile experience with Dr. Benjamin & his staff. I found them to be pleasant, informative & caring throughout the process. I was given the best advice, & treatment. The best part is the end result. I am thrilled to say I can see the better than ever before. I highly recommend Dr. Benjamin.

Hi everyone, I am a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and was getting sick of wearing contact lenses because I started to get dry eyes, and was just annoyed at not being able to see. 2 other eye surgeons recommended Dr Benjamin to me and I could not be happier. I did not have LASIK, instead, I had a Visian ICL (lens implant placed) because my vision was too bad for LASIK. From the point where I walked into his beautiful office, to meeting his friendly staff, and finally Dr Benjamin, I was great impressed. I could tell that Dr Benjamin was passionate about eyes and getting me the best vision possible. With my severe myopia (nearsightedness), he could've done LASIK, but my vision quality would not be the best. With the ICL implant, I could get high definition vision, and he could make it where I wouldn't need reading glasses until I was much older. I am 35 now, and would probably need reading glasses by 40-45. It would've been a waste to go through surgery, and then need glasses afterwards. It has been over a month, the surgery was easy breezy, I was back to work the next day. No pain, minimal discomfort, and I was 20/20 4 hours after my procedure at the check-up. He is a great surgeon with equally great bedside manner. Mayka, the refractive coordinator, was also very helpful and informative. Please feel free to send me a message on RealSelf if you would like some more details.

I came here to get a stye injected, They quoted me $175 over the phone, which is ALOT for a little kenalog injection, but I was desperate. 2 hours in the office, I told the Medical Assistant I needed to leave. Dr. Benjamin overheard me and came into the room (upset) dropped the F-BOMB and injected my eye with so much fluid my eye was swollen shut for 5 mins. I have worked in a dermatologist and ophthalmologist office to know, you are only suppose to inject a little, since the eye lid is very thin. two months later, I am still having problems with my eye. He charged me $500 at check out, I was in such a rush, I told myself I would deal with it later. I brushed it off and let it go, to only get a bill two months later for $35.00. I am very fair, but he could care less about his patients and just wants money.
