Dr. Tompkins is the greatest! I still can’t get over how incredible my eyesight is! I woke up the morning after surgery like when Dorothy opened the door after the tornado and walked out into Munchkin land!! Everything was more CLEAR, colorful, beautiful and bright!! …and every day gets better and better! Everybody in the office is wonderful and helpful.

I saw Dr. Tompkins multiple times but in H. Beach office. The team is efficient, everything goes smooth, wait is minimal, everyone is helpful. What I like about DrTompkins is that he listens, is thorough & respectful, communication is clear and easily understood and I always felt confident in his skills and his evaluations of my conditions as well as his aporoach to treatment.

I was very impressed with the professionalism and complete examination that was given to me by the doctor. Even more impressive was the fact that he communicated and on what he was doing and what it meant, but was willing to take the time to take my questions. I will definitely take his suggestions under consideration and make a return to this fine doctor

I cannot thank Dr. Tompkins enough for his kindness and attention to detail. He is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. The dryness and pain from my eyes have been bothering me for years. I had seen many doctors before but nothing seemed to work until I saw Dr. Tompkins. He gave me these eye drops that gave me relief to my eyes immediately! Thank you Dr. Tompkins!

Dr. Tompkins was professional, knowledgeable, detailed, patient and kind. I appreciated how patient he was with my lack of knowledge and understanding of my situation with my right eye. I appreciate how pleasant and kind the front office staff was. I am happy to recommend Dr. Tompkins to my family and friends in need of an ophthalmologist. Even though I was worried, this pleasant experience with you all made me more relaxed and at ease. Thank you!!

Was referred to Dr. Tompkins by a close friend. Thought I was going to need serious eye surgery, but after seeing him, he said all I need is a 1-minute laser procedure! He is pro-active with a joyful countenance. Very satisfied!

Dr. Tompkins was very attentive, professional and pleasant with my mom. My mom has been a patient of Azul Vision (formerly Atlantis) for years. He explained what he was doing and he even spoke enough Spanish to make my mom feel comfortable and cared for. His time management was decent. Looking forward to having him as my mom's doctor going forward.

If you are looking for someone in the Vision World, look no further, Doctor Brett Tompkins & staff are the ones- First time visit, I was seen on time, Doctor is great, took his time, did not rush to get to the next patient, showed me the problem area, gave me direct answers, worked on the next step for the cure and set me up for the follow up & phone number should there be any problems. I walked in the door-the office staff was very professional, asked for I.D. information, took the lady's all of 3-minutes to get me registered- they were polite & easy to talk too. Office was clean, everything was in order. I hope this review goes on record, Brett Tompkins is my choice of Vision doctors. Now after saying so,---I hope I can still get an appointment when I need one, people will flood the office, YEH

Dr. Tompkins is the best. During my surgery he kept me informed. It went very well and in no time I could see with 20/20 vision. Very helpful during my post-op as well I would not hesitate to recommend him to those who may need an awesome Surgeon. Thanks to all the staff who were helpful as well. Looking forward to my second surgery coming up.

Today, I visited Dr. Brett Tompkins, Ophthalmologist working with Azul Vision in Laguna Hills. My office visit was on time, as scheduled, with only a 10 minute wait. Amazing! Preliminary overview by staff went well, as they proceeded to inquire about my eyes, history, diabetic standing, and current vision condition. An Autorefractor test was given first, then a visual alphabet acuity chart exam, eye pictures taken, eye pressures checked, and eyes dilated. Dr. Tompkins greeted me cordially, pertinently discussed my overall vision, then checked my visual history. He gave a visual check, studied each eye thoroughly, gave his assistant specific verbal correspondence on status of each eye to input into my profile/records. He spoke on his findings and we had a dialog of questions and answers regarding such. His recommendations noted and follow up was discussed. Dr. Tompkins is outstanding! He has the background and experience to diagnose, converse, clearly explain findings, recommend options, and is very personable to make for an excellent office visit. I highly recommend scheduling with Dr. Tompkins and team at Azul Vision in Laguna Hills. 5 Stars*****
