— Healthgrades"Absolutely awful. Terrible experience which went on for months til I finally found another eye doctor. Dr. Penrose was arrogant, uncaring and incompetent."
— Healthgrades"Dr. Leland Rosenblum is probably the very best and most sought-after eye specialist on the Monterey Peninsula. The office staff are efficient and always helpful and thorough."
