I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Moarefi and the team at LA Sight. From the initial…read moreconsultation to the follow-up care, the level of patient care was exceptional. Dr. Moarefi takes the time to thoroughly explain every step of the procedure, ensuring you feel completely comfortable, informed, and reassured throughout the entire process. The staff is warm, professional, and attentive, making the clinic environment efficient yet relaxed. It is clear that Dr. Moarefi genuinely cares about his patients' well-being and visual outcomes rather than just rushing people through the door. My vision and overall experience exceeded expectations--I highly recommend LA Sight and Dr. Moarefi to anyone looking for top-tier eye care!

Poor patient care experience and disregard for my time. I requested a medical form to be completed,…read moreand after noticing two sections were incomplete, I called and was told by the doctor that those sections could be filled out. I drove to the office to drop off the form, only to later be told by Dr. Moarefri that a $150 fee would apply. I would have understand and respected the fee for the later, more comprehensive requests, but I was specifically told these two sections could be completed. Instead, I made an unnecessary trip based on information that was not honored. Additionally, filling out the form would've been more straightforward & less time-consuming if my medical notes were thorough to begin with. The two receptionists were not necessarily rude, but I found their responses dismissive. My medical record only stated "mild condition X," and my files contained retina photos without written interpretations. Yesterday, when I explained that I needed more information for the form, the receptionist starting with the letter M said, "Well, that's just how doctors write notes," while another said on the phone today, "It's not incomplete; the pictures are there for other doctors to interpret." These responses felt dismissive of my concern. As a patient, I should be able to understand what my medical records and images show rather than be left without an explanation of my own condition. The interpretation of my own medical images are not just exclusive to other doctors. I previously left a positive review because I had a good experience with the eye evaluation. Was it thorough? Yes. Was the patient support equally good? Unfortunately, I can't say so. I also discussed LASIK candidacy with Dr. Moarefri, and I felt my concerns were somewhat dismissed. My myopia had increased by more than 2 diopters over six years as an adult, and when I expressed concern, I was told, "That's not a big increase." I was also encouraged to proceed with LASIK without what I felt was a balanced discussion of both the benefits and risks. As a doctor, he should be aware that lasik should only be recommended once the vision has stabilized. I believe patients deserve a realistic discussion of both the potential benefits and complications. A 99% success rate doesn't mean there is zero long-term risk. You can be fine for many years but develop sight-threatening complications (such as ectasia) down the line. You just never know. For me, that uncertainty was a risk I wasn't willing to take. This is why it's important to thoroughly research and listen to different perspectives before proceeding rather than solely relying on the judgement of one doctor -- especially when they make it sound like it's all sunshine and rainbows. Other lasik doctor I consulted with was honest enough to recommend surgery once my myopia stopped progressing. This experience made me realize how important it is to find a doctor who genuinely prioritizes informed decision-making and the patient's long-term well-being rather than simply promoting a procedure. LASIK may be a good option for some people, but patients should be given the full picture and enough information to make that decision for themselves.

In this case, Its a no-brainer. This Dr. Is obviously from another planet, but I mean it in a good way.

Kudos too to his pleasant staff for being so accommodating and helping with my tight scheduling needs.

He authored in entirety a textbook on cataract surgery which has gone through 5 editions, he has patented 20 tools for cataract surgery, and he is a professor. At no time did he push surgery, and he even mentioned other surgeons who could also do a good job. In addition to telling me about the intra ocular lens that he recommends for me at this time (i.e. the Symfony), he also told me that I might want to wait for the PureSee iol which will be available late in 2026. Also he told me that I have an eye tearing deficiency that merits being addressed. No other cataract surgeon (of the other 3 that I visited) detected this issue. I found him to be calm, detailed, and very friendly and helpful. The rest of his staff is the same.

My case was not easy--back in 2005, I had LASIK surgery with a very high prescription of -12 in my right eye and -10 in my left. Over time, I began to lose vision in my right eye again, and after a thorough evaluation, Dr. Seibel determined that cataract surgery was necessary. From the first consultation, Dr. Seibel's professionalism, experience, and calm confidence gave me great peace of mind. He explained the procedure thoroughly and made sure I understood what to expect. What truly stood out to me is how skilled and meticulous he is--my surgery was complex due to my history, but he performed it with absolute precision. Despite the difficulty, he achieved an excellent outcome and my vision has significantly improved. Dr. Seibel is not just a top surgeon--he's a leading educator in the field, having authored multiple cataract surgery textbooks and trained other surgeons. You can truly feel that expertise when you're under his care. It's clear he treats every patient with the same care and attention he gives to teaching others. This review is the least I can do to thank him. If you're considering cataract surgery or any vision correction procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Seibel. You'll be in the best hands possible.

He performed my cataract surgery and it has changed my life! I chose the lens that was rated well for clarity but not well for night light glare. I wanted clarity, so I chose this one.

Dr. S takes the time to listen to your questions and concerns, unlike my previous Dr. I highly recommend Dr. Seibel. He is THE pro for surgery.

I was reluctant to undergo a procedure on the eyes, and although I knew how safe it was, I couldn't help but worry.

Here is what happened: Two days prior to my visit, I visited the office & asked if they would accept Medicare for cataract surgery. The answer was a big yes. However, when I visited the office for the treatment after wasting about two hours of my time and resources for procedural, the doctor came in & told me that they don't accept Medicare insurance & by falsely claiming that UCLA does it by hand for such a sensitive part of the body by students and they bill Medicare. Through these lies & deceits, they hurt the reputation of other establishments Such as the UCLA. for their own profit.

We will charge your Medicare.... in response, I said I will object that. she said it would be ok, we will send it for the second time & will get it approved. I said, I would object that again. she said we will send it to Internal Revenue Service to write it.off. You see what kind of business it is? it is a rip off business costing taxpayers, insurance co., and IRS For their unearned profits!!

Dr. Brandon Cohenmehr was incredibly thorough, attentive, and knowledgeable, and I never felt rushed during any of my appointments. During my initial complimentary consultation, he not only placed trial lenses but also identified that I had MGD. I'm very thankful this was caught early, especially since no other doctor had detected it before. His attention to detail is truly phenomenal. My scleral lens fitting went incredibly well. My lenses arrived in exactly a week, and he was able to get me to 20/20 vision, which was especially important to me because glasses could not get me there. I also had an issue with the trial lenses fogging up, and he immediately recognized that my dry eye was likely contributing to the problem. He recommended hydro-coated scleral lenses, which turned out to be an excellent solution. My official lenses with the coating have not fogged up! I really appreciate how comprehensive and personalized the care is. He is a great problem solver, explains everything thoroughly, and genuinely pays attention to the details. The staff is also friendly, helpful, and responsive. Appointments are always on time, and I've never had to deal with a long wait. Overall, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and exceeded my expectations. I'm very grateful for the care I received and absolutely cannot recommend him enough!
