I research everything before I do it... shopping, travel, etc., but especially medical advice. Dr. Brisco was referred to me by several people as the best eye doctor in town. I was also told that she is known as the ""eye doctor to the stars"", since a lot of celebrities see her... After finding out that she is on staff at Cedars, completed 2 Fellowships, and has been active in sports medicine for major teams as well as extensive research in vision therapy, I chose to see her with my family's problems. My daughter was not doing well in school and hated to read. Dr. Brisco diagnosed her as having a vision problem in tracking and after several months of vision therapy, she is getting straight A's and I always see her with a book in her face. Our previous eye doctor (an Ophthalmologist) said she just needed glasses which were completely the wrong prescription!!! As for myself, I hadn't been able to wear contacts for over ten years because I use a computer all day. No other doctor could get my prescription correct or took the time to completely treat me. She diagnosed me not only with her state of the art equipment, but with data about my diet and lifestyle. I'm finally seeing 20/20 again with contacts and working great on the computer. She is incredible and her staff is wonderful. The office is state of the art and has a spa-like feel. They sell all the best frames for way better prices than you'll find down the street in Beverly Hills.... Can't say enough good things about her... she changed our lives.
Pros: a Doctor that cares and is highly capable, great staff, GREAT with children
