  Unreal and scary. Read the Yelp reviews. I've left my contact lenses in too long before and hurt my cornea while removing them. When that happened, my local Opthamologist would prescribe Vigamox and remind me to take out my contacts every week. When I left them in to long on a business trip to San Diego, I called and spoke to a man who answered the phone stating he was booked all day but would try to squeeze me in. I arrived at an old, run down Acupuncture Office to find the Dr. Westeren was the ONLY one there. No front desk staff, no nurse. Just him. He claimed his other patient was running late, but he'd take me if I was done the horribly old fashioned paperwork he handed me to complete. Once in the exam room, he chastised and lectured while over dialating my eyes. When shining bright lights into my eyes that were very sore to look for Glaucoma, he would 'shush' me when saying how much it hurt. I left with prescriptions that actually made my eyes feel WORSE over the next day. In fact, I spent the following day in a daze, suffering from light sensitivity, drowsiness, worse redness, itching, burning and my upper eyelid was swollen and red. Why? Because he sent me out to get a prescription for the same drops he used to dialate my eyes, and eye creams that cautioned of all the other side effects I suffered through. Oh... and he told me he I probably have Glaucoma. Nice. I WILL get a second opinion. Save your time, your money and your sanity and go to a better doctor.

  I had an emergency while I was on vacation in San Diego. I called around several clinics. Dr Westeren’s receptionist was so nice and booked me after business hours on the same day. I went to see Dr Westeren at 6 pm. He spent a good time examining my eyes (not like in and out 15mins exam). He gave me a consultation note to take home to see an ophthalmologist in my home town for a follow up eye exam. I was quite amazed with whole experience I had in his office. Many thanks to Dr Westeren and his receptionist.
