I first considered LASIK about two years ago with another doctor, but felt uneasy since I would…read morestill have needed glasses afterward. I'm so glad I waited for Dr. Pirnazar! From my first visit in the Newport office, through my exam in Laguna Hills, and finally the surgery, it was clear that Dr. Pirnazar truly cares about his patients and their goals. Ultimately, LASIK wasn't the best fit for me, and Dr. Pirnazar recommended a different procedure. Thanks to his expert guidance, I'm now seeing perfectly without glasses just one week after surgery! He performed the procedure on my right eye on a Monday, followed by my other eye a week later, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Pirnazar's professionalism, warm demeanor, and genuine care exceeded all my expectations. Life couldn't be sweeter!

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this office. Dr. Pirnazar performed cataract…read moresurgery on both of my eyes in December 2025. Unfortunately, I developed problems with my left eye afterward. I was initially told it would improve within a few months, but instead, my vision continued to get worse. My retina specialist eventually referred me back to Dr. Pirnazar for a secondary procedure. When my vision worsened, I called requesting an urgent appointment and was told the first available appointment was almost two months away. After several calls, I was finally given an appointment for August 28 with Dr. Fadavi, whom I had seen before. I received multiple text messages confirming my appointment with Dr. Fadavi. When I arrived, however, I was told that another doctor would see me because Dr. Fadavi does not work there on Fridays! No one had contacted me to tell me about this change, despite the multiple confirmation texts specifically naming Dr. Fadavi. When I questioned the front desk about this, the staff member was extremely rude and dismissive and showed no concern about the situation. Considering that I was there because of a worsening problem with my eyesight, I found this treatment completely unacceptable. I left without being seen and will be finding another ophthalmologist to address my eye problem. After this experience, I will not return to this office. The lack of communication, difficulty obtaining timely care, and especially the unprofessional attitude of the office staff were extremely disappointing.

I had an excellent experience at NVision in Newport Beach for my Lasik surgery. From the minute I…read morewalked in the door I felt that I was in the right place. The entire team is welcoming, knowledgeable and very good at what they do. I had a consultation to determine whether I would be a good candidate. Following the positive outcome, I was able to set up a date for my surgery and go in for the pre-op within about two weeks. The technicians and optometrists I met were great. Each person took time to explain what the tests were for, what my results meant and how the surgery would correct my vision. I met Dr Raoof on the day of my surgery. She explained the procedure in detail and answered all my questions. She made me feel really at ease and in good hands. This procedure was a miracle for me. I've had really bad eyesight and worn glasses since second grade. The second I got up from the operation I could see almost perfectly. Despite discomfort on the day of the surgery, I've had very few side effects. My sight keeps getting better and clearer everyday. So thank you again Dr Raoof and your team at NVision. You are amazing!

I now need a similar procedure on my other eye. After 5 attempts to contact Denisse and being unable to contact Dr. Raoof directly, I wrote the following email to Dr. Raoof. I have not received a response from either of them after several weeks trying. This lack of customer/patient service is unprofessional and is forcing me to seek another doctor. "Dear Dr. Raoof, I have made five attempts to contact Denisse Brito and left messages each time. She returned one call, but unfortunately, I was unavailable, and no further follow-up was made. Given the lack of communication, my wife and I have decided to seek cataract/lens replacement surgery elsewhere. I believe it's important for you to be aware that this breakdown in follow-up is resulting in the loss of your patients. Sincerely, Jack Likins

I booked an eye exam specifically for contact lenses. When I arrived, they told me my appointment had been scheduled the previous week -- despite never receiving any reminder, call, or notification. Mistakes happen, so I rescheduled for the next day. When I came back, I was told (same-day) that the appointment was not for contacts, even though that's exactly what I requested when booking. They proceeded to do a regular exam and dilated my eyes without confirming the appointment purpose or telling me it wouldn't include contacts. Then they scheduled yet another appointment -- supposedly to actually handle the contact lens portion. Fast forward to today: I drove to their Laguna Hills office, checked in, waited ~20 minutes, and then was told the doctor "doesn't have time to see me today." No call, no heads-up, nothing. I took time off work for each of these visits, yet after three appointments, I still do not have my contacts. To make it worse, when I called after leaving, the best they could offer was to reschedule me with the same doctor who canceled on me today -- again, no acknowledgment of all the time wasted or effort to accommodate. This office has major scheduling, communication, and customer care issues. After multiple missed notifications, incorrect appointments, and last-minute cancellations, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I had surgery at uCI cancer center with a plastic surgeon for a breathing problem unrelated to Tayani, where when they disinfected my face with a chemical' disinfectant and burned my corneas! Originally my eyes were taped shut by my Anesthesiologist for intubation. When the surgeon removed the tape off my eyes to prep me for surgery the chemicals seeped into my eyes and burned both corneas sat there my whole surgery for hours. Most painful, worst experience of my life. I've been going here to Tayani's for many many years. Had surgery by Dr Tayani himself too and had Dr Rebecca Ng as my eye Dr for many years here also she was just off this day when I rushed in screaming for help! When I had this horrible experience and was treated horribly without even rinsing my eyes while I screamed at the top of my lungs at Mission Providence Hospital and even my paramedic that delivered me to the ambulance begged them to rinse my eyes it went no where at all. Avoid that place like the plague! Tayani staff , initially Dr. Lanier and the other Drs on staff that day took me in as a walk in the same day of surgery. Then all four Dr's went into the treatment room I was in and each took turns evaluating the damage to my eyes and each made an assessment of the chemical burns. They all agreed to put stem cell plasma on one eye that was worse and a contact lense on the other to help them heal. I was still in severe pain they send me to UCI hospital in Orange where they have optometrist but as usual no one even looked at my eyes there after hours screaming I got morphine and sent home. They were more concerned about my mental health and missed the mark. Never even looked at my eyes or saw the eye Dr! I went back to the lovely Drs here at Tayani and they send me to UCi research center where they had an eye surgeon that put a very thick plasma stem cell ring over the ripped cornea and helped me heal entirely. If I would have not gone here ti Tayani's, the 2 ERs from two hospitals would have left me blind and screaming in pain for weeks I'm sure. I owe Tayani institute Drs for saving me from going blind and unimaginable pain. Where no hospital ER could help these guys all figured out what was wrong and got me to the right place even walked me and my parents with Alzheimer's to the car as I was completely blind literally. Scariest moment of my entire 49'years alive. This is the place to go! They are passionate, caring, kind, professionals with amazing bedside manner and I couldn't have picked a better place to go. These guys are serious and know what they are doing!! You are lucky if you can get anyone of these Drs especially Dr Lanier take you in as a patient. I will never forget. All the staff there and your kindness.

Just prior to…read moreKersten Diana, MD performing Cataract surgery to my Right Eye my vision was 20/30 (R) & 20/40 (L). And, just prior to Kersten Diana, MD performing this surgery I was able to clearly see our distant Saddleback mountains. And clearly read the small print on vitamin bottles, all without glasses. Yet, Kersten Diana, MD insisted she begin Cataract Surgery with my right eye. I was reassured,"THIS IS TO PROTECT YOUR FUTURE VISION." I went along with Kersten Diana, MD's recommendation. (Kersten Diana, MD, Ophthalmologist @ Harvard Eye Associates in Laguna Hills, CA). I found out after the Cataract Surgery of my right eye that it was absolutely UNNECESSARY. MOST IMPORTANTLY, KERSTEN DIANA, MD'S CATARACT SURGERY TO MY RIGHT EYE MADE ME LEGALLY BLIND (20/200) IN MY RIGHT EYE. MAKING ME FOREVER LEGALLY BLIND. Imagine, KERSTEN DIANA, MD had planned next to perform Cataract Surgery to my left eye. Also, after this unnecessary life altering Cataract Surgery given by KERSTEN DIANA, MD I had an appointment to see KERSTEN DIANA, MD at her office where she had a huge desk. I sat across from her with my Husband. By then the after surgery cotton eye patch was off and I had just recently seen a highly respected Ophthalmologist who had my right eyesight tested. It had become 20/60 and steadily worsened. As I sat across from KERSTEN DIANA, MD in her office at her huge desk I said to her, "I had an Optometrist test my eyesight just after I followed your directions in caring for my right eye after your Cataract Surgery to my right eye. My right eye vision was 20/30 just before your surgery, it is now 20/60 and worsening. KERSTEN DIANA, MD looked at me but said nothing. She squeezed both her hands into fists and pounced each one twice on her desk as she raised her body from her huge desk. She, KERSTEN DIANA, MD then STOMPED OUT OF HER OFFICE. She never made any effort to contact me. I never saw her again. P.S. The severe damage resulting from the unnecessary cataract surgery to my right eye became 20/200 one month or so after the one year deadline to file a Malpractice Lawsuit. She lost nothing for unnecessarily blinding me. The Medical Board and general public are not aware of Kersten Diana, MD's willful medical neglect and unapologetic medical behavior.
