    Have been seeing Dr. Rosenblum for over a decade and very happy with his services. I've have moved to another city but still remain a patient of his.

    Dr. Rosenblum was caring and HONEST. Both towards my need for a new prescription and need for cataract surgery. Both of which were placed on hold.

    Walking into the office I felt that all the people in the front were polite and knew what they were doing if you asked questions on your first visit. The tech that I saw was very knowledgable about eyes. The doctor was great and this will be my eye care doctors office. — Barbara Ann Richardson

    Dr. Husted always takes time to answer all questions and never rushes through an appointment. Great bedside manner.

    The nurse/technician did an excellent job of welcoming me to the office and she made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable which was important to me. She had an absolutely outstanding attitude and was very friendly to talk to-it made the whole process that much easier and enjoyable.

    Thank you, Dr. Penrose. Cataract surgery was miraculous for me and has greatly improved my quality of life. The procedure is simple, recovery is fast and the results are amazing; coupled with a very professional and caring staff. Again, thank you. — Susan B. Thamer

    Dr. Rosenblum- Top notch I have recommended him and will continue to do so. I believe he has a sense of humor!

    Can really tell that team is focussed on patient. Not just one or two stars, but whole team effort. That makes the practice as a whole notable.

    Dr. Penrose was very accurate in the diagnosis for my eye problem. The prescription he gave me helped me completely with the eye discomfort I was having. Thank you.

    I am very pleased to be a patient of Dr. Rosenblum's and thank him and the staff for all their assistance.

    I could not have asked for better treatment by every staff person who dealt with me. I was very impressed and satisfied.

    Dr. Husted is the only provider I know who not only invited me to call him at home following surgery, but when I did call he was very reassuring. Most importantly, he didn't appear irritated at being disturbed outside of office hours. These are rare and honorable qualities.

    I was much impressed with the manner of the technician, Laura.

    For anyone needing scar tissue laser surgery, I can only say my own experience was that it took Dr. Penrose about 5 to 10 minutes and I was on my way home. No after effects- on an eye that had clouded vision. It is now as clear as the other one with absolutely no pain what so ever. — Gertraud Fikes

    I am grateful for Dr. Penrose's professional manner and his great sensitivity concerning a condition I been ignoring. I left his office with a great sense of relief.

    As a retired military ophthalmologist, COL (Ret) Husted's military background shows consistently - his values center on patient care first rather than profit through volume and cost cutting that patients experience with indebted board-certified doctors. This is also reflected in the careful choice of new partners (whom I have only occasionally seen but who have also been excellent) and in staff that is clearly superior to that in other private practices in the area. — MBEC patient

    I feel fortunate to have Dr. Rosenblum as my ophthalmologist.

    I was seen by Dr. Rosenblum yesterday, and the young lady who took care of me before being seen by Dr. Rosenblum was absolutely delightful. The technician put me at ease and was of great help, as well as the young lady at the front desk who helped me with directions and later scheduled me for another series of appointments. Thank you for having such a caring and wonderful friendly staff...of course Dr. Rosenblum is just the BEST! — Elaine Stanton, MBEC patient

    I want to thank you for accepting me as a new patient and performing cataract surgery, successfully, on both my eyes. It was comforting to see you at the surgery center before the procedure and after with complete instruction for postoperative care. Your staff is a credit to you. They are courteous, professional and mature. Thank you again. — Mella Dea Tocchet

    I was called in for testing 5 minutes before the scheduled appointment time.

    Never have any of my doctors called me to verify my health / eyes conditions like Dr. Rosenblum has. He expresses concerns always.

    As ALWAYS, the Eye Center and Shohanna did outstanding jobs. The ladies behind the front desk were fun, helpful and very professional. — Malcolm Brown

    Even though we are moving to LA- for at least a year, I would not hesitate to return for my yearly exam to Dr.Rosenblum. His level of competence is beyond what I could hope to get elsewhere- thus I would make the drive. The whole team is top rate!

    All of your staff members have been very pleasant, courteous, helpful and professional.

    I've been a patient for years and have come to expect the excellent attention I received on this visit from Dr. Rosenblum.

    I am just crazy about the Restor lenses Dr. Rosenblum implanted. The distance vision is crystal clear; I can drive and thread my needles without glasses. I find myself using glasses only for my piano work which I simple; I simply leave the glasses next to the piano unless I am playing. I would recommend them to any patient; within 6 weeks I noticed no halos around lights or problems. Thank you for my successful surgery and great vision! — Judith Dudley

    Dr. Husted is terrific -- that's why our expectations are high -- and he meets them.

    He told me he would watch for any further development of my cataracts. I feel safe when Dr. Rosenblum cares about it.

    I am extremely pleased with Dr. Rosenblum. He was referred to my wife and I by Dr. Halpern and although I have only been in to see Dr. Rosenblum a couple of times, I feel very comfortable with him and comfortable with his professional and caring way of my annual examination.

    Dr. Rosenblum was very thorough - I did not feel rushed and felt that if I had the need to discuss anything further he would have been willing to give me the time needed. I like his mannerism very much.

    Office staff is outstanding. Rachel is exceedingly courteous, helpful, and efficient.

    Laura was her name and she is excellent--competent and caring, treats one like a patient and not as a customer.

    Dr. Rosenblum made me feel more at ease with my diagnosis. Let me know I can call with any questions or concerns.

    Upon the recommendation of our family doctor, we met Dr. Philip Penrose. We are so happy with our recent cataract surgeries. From our first appointment to the "post-op" we were treated with care and understanding. Every question and concern were answered. We now recommend our friends and loved ones to Dr. Penrose. He's the best! — Arlene and Stanley Dedini (CrystaLens patients)

    The service was all one could ask for.

    Dr. Rosenblum is the best eye doctor I have ever met. Very helpful, courteous and professional with a personal touch.

    I found Celeste to be as thoughtful and thorough as possible. I really felt she was outstanding. I am treated just like a family member.

    The staff took care of all my needs and went beyond my expectations by making sure I left the office with an appointment for Monday. I can't thank Dr. Penrose and staff enough!

    Dr. Husted is a superb professional. I especially appreciate his friendly bedside manner, sense of humor, and strong dedication to ongoing professional development and being on top of the latest research and products.

    I felt very well served and professionally well treated by knowledgeable and competent staff.

    Shohanna, Thank you for explaining the contact lens choices in such a simple way. I love the NEW contacts for my OLD eyes! I love the Monterey Bay Eye Center and will tell everyone I know this is the place to go. — Caron Pearce

    I found Brenda to be an excellent and friendly tech.

    LOVE Dr Penrose in that Doogie Howser kind of way! He is so sweet. I needed that sweet caring pep talk to get me back to me GP. I made an appointment the very next day. THANK YOU!!! — Caron Pearce

    Your staff is a credit to you. They are courteous, professional and mature. Thank you again. — Mella Dea Tocchet

    The exit process is as important as intake process in an office. Very good experience. Some physicians' offices don't focus there. Also...Shohanna rocks!

    LOVE Dr Penrose in that Doogie Howser kind of way! He is so sweet. I needed that sweet caring pep talk to get me back to me GP. I made an appointment the very next day. THANK YOU!!! — Caron Pearce

    Have been seeing Dr. Husted for years. My expectations are high, because I've always found him to be excellent: friendly, professional, kind, courteous. Unless he wants to make house calls, I don't know how he CAN exceed my expectations!

    Dear MBEC: I've been wondering how I could adequately thank Dr. Rosenblum (his anesthesiologists & the MBEC Staff) for my new eyes - my incredible vision since the cataract surgery in June! I had no idea what dramatic, improved sight would mean. Grateful thanks to Dr. Rosenblum & MBEC. — Alexandra James, 7/16/11

    Laura, she is great and I love her bedside manner. Thank you for having her at Monterey Bay Eye Center with her personal touch. She makes you feel so comfortable and safe. Great job Laura, thank you for your personal touch. — Jennie White, MBEC patient

    The staff is marvelous! And fun to talk with - even in a serious situation!! Never felt rushed and certainly given attention and listened to. Everything is taken care of immediately and everyone is extremely pleasant. I am very impressed!!

    Dr. Rosenblum was highly recommended to me and I will highly recommend him and all of the staff in his practice to others.

    For someone calling at the last moment I would expect to be seen so quickly.

    Dr. Penrose was great! He also made me feel very welcomed and was willing and able to help my "eye situation" without hesitation. I am very grateful and appreciative to him and his staff! Thanks again!
