Back when Yelp was new, I took it very seriously. I reviewed just about everything I did. I was part of the LA "Yelp community" including social events etc. That eventually slowed when Twitter came around. So you can see I've been at this a long time. In the last several years, I seem to only Yelp when I want to either boast about a business or warn people of horrible service. Dr. Samimi is worthy of my time here. Having reached my 50's, things, as expected, start to drop and sag a little. I'm not an incredibly vane guy but I did have an "issue." I had a pea-sized lump in my lower eye bag area that stuck out even more when I smiled. There was a bit of "bag" under my other eye, but if they were both like that one, I'd feel it was just normal. I wanted this pea-sized lump gone and started looking into surgery. Based on a recommendation, I was pretty much decided and ready to go to San Diego with a doctor there, but at the last moment, I went back to researching my home area of Los Angeles. I came across Eyesthetica a few times and the more I read, the more I thought to trust a place the specializes in eyes. I was clearly on the fence since the "other place" was a recommendation. Having to deal with travel to San Diego just started to seem daunting.
Then I met Dr. Samimi. He evaluated my situation and really listened to my concerns and studied my eyes. He spoke with confidence and knowledge. He gave me a few options and I immediately had his trust. I decided on a couple procedures on both eyes with my biggest concern being symmetry. We scheduled surgery about two weeks out. I took it upon myself to go in a day ahead and get my prescriptions handled first so after my surgery, I could just go home and not deal with it. I'm glad I did since after the surgery, I looked like I just got out of the ring with Mike Tyson followed by a few free shots by George Foreman. The only meds I didn't need were pain meds. There was the expected discomfort for maybe a week, but simply no pain. As of this writing, I'm just under the 6-week mark of recovery and all the swelling is gone and I'm only treating a soon to be virtually invisible tiny scar with scar gel.
Only 6-weeks out and I keep staring in the mirror in amazement. Dr. Samimi is a miracle worker. As recent as a week ago, it didn't seem I would have symmetry in my face even after all this, but somehow, as the last of the swelling has subsided, it all looks amazing compared to before. I'm a bit more shy that others, so I won't post my pics, but if you're wondering how legit my post is, go back and look how many reviews I've written and how long I've been at it. This is 100% legit. I've never been bought or paid off. If I was the least bit unhappy with anything, I would say it.
So to wrap this up, if you're considering Dr. Samimi, just go meet with him then let your gut guide you. He really knows what he's doing. And being a specialist in eyes, that really makes a difference. I have zero regrets and I can also say, Dr. Samimi is really a good person. He cares about his work and wants you to be happy. I wouldn't mind being friends with him.
He cares and knows his craft. Bottom line.
