Loma Linda University Eye Institute

Dr. Van Putten is an excellent doctor. His expertise in blepharoplasty is an experience I'll never forget. During surgery I was actually awake. I realized this was necessary for he and I to communicate during the procedure. Most importantly for the procedure to be a success. All areas of concern were numbed and this gave him the opportunity to ask me to open and close my eyes, so that my eye would be even with the left eye. Thank you so much Dr. Van Putten for all your help and patience. Sincerely, Hilda Cortez

His office staff is awesome and the department runs at a very high level of efficiency and professionalism, and the office staff are truly caring and kind. This may be the most professional and efficient office in all of Loma Linda physicians. I highly recommend Dr. Van Putten and can’t say enough good things about him and his staff.

Dr. Hawy is an excellent ophthalmologist who is knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely invested in the well-being of her patients. She is easy to talk to and takes the time to thoroughly review and explain my test results.
