    Update: my eyes healed perfectly and you can't even tell I've gotten them done. Everyone compliments me on how natural they look! My eyes before were not symmetrical and I can't believe how beautiful my eyes are now!

    I had upper and lower blepharoplasty with fat transfer to my temples and lower cheeks. I highly recommend Dr. Samimi and his staff. They were very professional and supportive from the first appointment to the last. Dr. Samimi is a great surgeon and has vast knowledge of the face and eyes. He was very realistic with my results and answered all my questions every time I visited him. I believe my first appointment lasted over 30 minutes. The staff was also amazing and answered all my questions when I called them for support after the surgery. I was quite nervous to do this surgery but Dr. Samimi made me feel very comfortable and showed me, through previous photographs, what the results would look like. I was very excited am very pleased with my results at 9 months in. He indicated that the full results of the surgery won't show for over a year. I highly recommend Dr. Samimi - you will not be disappointed. I look forward to seeing him in a few years when I am ready for my face lift!

    This is my before and after 3 months post-op.

    I cannot say enough about Dr. Samimi. He's personal and takes his time with you. He listens to your concerns & addresses any worries you may have. I had quite extensive upper & lower lid surgery with fat repositioning. The recovery time is a bit longer but it's worth it! I never had a day of pain. Dr. Samimi was always available post surgery addressing any questions or concerns I had too. I only wish I did this sooner! I would definitely send my friends to him.

    When I made an appointment with Dr. Christian for simple cataract surgery I was very clear and told…read morethem I had Medicare and did they take that as full payment. I was told yes and it also says they take it on their website. This is not true, Sure they will take your Medicare and also make you pay 5 thousand dollars for the privilege. I never would have known this if not for YELP. I read reviews. After I made the appointment, I thought I better give Yelp a read. I was shocked to find out about this undisclosed charge. I would have wasted my time and God only knows when they would have told me to hand over 5K. I have cataracts so hard to read, close to impossible and I was very clear asking Medicare all in right--of course was the response. So, I called back and asked for billing. I told them I read they charge an additional 5 K on top of Medicare and your supplement. I was told they did. I told her I was not told that and it is no where on your website. Pregnant pause--sort of like what should I tell this woman. She then said that they use the best and latest equipment. I asked is that compared to old and outdated equipment. Another long pause. She said we have that charge. She never said she was sorry I was not told this. Now, I would have wasted a day and I am confident they would have made money off what I consider false advertising by billing Medicare to see me and may then tell me to hand over 5K. There is always a reason when you can get an appointment right away. Run from these people.

The receptionist, Veronica Chavez, was unnecessarily rude and antagonizing during check-in. I was asked for my insurance card, and I explained that it is the same insurance already on file since last year and that I have not yet received a new card. This is common in early January. Despite clearly stating that I did not have the card, the same question was repeated. At that point, the receptionist raised her voice and said, "I'm not questioning your insurance. I'm just asking if you have your insurance card," even though I had already answered that I did not. I again explained that it is early January and that many insurance companies have not yet issued new cards. Instead of clarifying what was needed, the receptionist continued to antagonize the situation and then told me that I "needed to be respectful," even though her own tone and behavior were rude and dismissive. The exchange became uncomfortable and occurred in front of other patients in the waiting area. This is not the first time I have had a negative experience at the front desk. It is disappointing because the quality of care from the physician is excellent, but repeated unprofessional interactions at check-in detract significantly from the overall experience. I hope this feedback is addressed so patients are treated with basic patience and courtesy.

Sometimes they are very busy and you have to wait more than normal but that is expected. Usually the wait time is minimal. My current doctor Juliet Chung is a great opthamologist and always kind and considerate as was my past doctor, who is no longer at this location, Dr. Nouri-Mahdavi.

    I had the absolute best experience with Dr. Teitelbaum and his staff. From the very first email…read morethrough to the after care process, I've had such a great experience. Dr. Teitelbaum really listened to what I wanted and gave me the exact results I was hoping for. I would highly recommend him!

    Four years later…read more.. Dr. Tielebaum has asked me several times to remove my review of 2022. However, not once did he offer to fix my breast that his surgery caused to bottom out, and which he had twice promised to fix. His interest is his money, nothing else. Therefore I have refused to remove my review. To readers who have not seen my previous review - He abandoned me when a probe developed with my breast surgery. He gave no explanations and was exceptionally rude and dismissive. His asking me to remove my review without offering to address the problem shows how his only interest was for how others see him. This is not a well-balanced man who is concerned for others. He cannot handle a problem with composure or grace. He will turn on the patient if there is a problem, rather than help the patient. At a time when you have trusted him with your body, this treatment is devastating. Your pain makes no difference to him. He is only nice to you when all goes well. Had I not been so disheartened and depressed at the time by my experience with him, I would have brought a malpractice claim. If anyone is considering such a course of action, contact me. We women are far too often intimidated and don't understand our rights.
