    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.

    I came in two days ago to get screened for keratoconus, and I was impressed by how incredibly…read morethorough the process was. The machines used here are very high-tech and advanced, as the data they provided was exceptionally comprehensive. Everyone at the clinic was very polite -- from the receptionist, techs, lasik consultant, optometrist, and Dr. Moarefi. The male tech did a great job guiding me through the different tests; he was also doing a good job training a female tech who was shadowing him and sounded very knowledgeable. My main concern was to determine if my eyes could be corrected to 20/20, and Dr.Moarefi had both the tech and the optometrist check my prescription to see if that would be achievable. I also wanted to get my axial length measured, so the optometrist was able to precisely measure that for me. I truly appreciated Dr.Moarefi's high attention to detail and the way that every single one of my concerns were all addressed seriously. My experience was phenomenal, and I know that I can trust this clinic with my eye management going forward. Our eyes are among our most important senses, so I highly recommend LA Sight for anyone seeking quality eye care. Finding a clinic that utilizes advanced technology, provides comprehensive examinations, and takes the time to address every concern is key to ensuring the best possible care and long-term eye health.

The staff is warm, professional, and genuinely caring. Dr. Moarefi is fantastic! He's patient, thorough, and great at explaining everything clearly. The surgery day was a breeze. I loved the relaxation room and chair massage beforehand, and the bladeless LASIK procedure itself took less than an hour and was completely painless. Only a few days post-op and my vision is already amazing. Truly a life-changing experience. Absolutely worth it and I highly recommend!

    I was introduced to Dr. Christian's practice by a colleague who had a LASIK surgery done on both of…read morehis eyes. I was reluctant to undergo a procedure on the eyes, and although I knew how safe it was, I couldn't help but worry. Furthermore, upon consultation it turned out I required two different procedures: a LASIK on one eye and a PRK on the other. It doesn't happen often, but Dr. Christian delighted me with his bedside manner and, at the same time, gave me confidence in his expertise and ability to perform the surgery right, which definitely balanced out my anxiety about the surgery. The office staff was helpful guiding and preparing me for the procedure and I want to send them a special "thank you". Now, 4 weeks post-surgery I have no regrets and I am infinitely grateful to Dr. Christian for fixing my sight and making the whole process seamless and worry-free.

    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.
