Preparing for cataract surgery, I visited both Mosaddegh Eye Institute locations, 490 Post, and 380…read moreWest Portal. Things went well at both locations. The Post St. location was more accessible by bus for me, but parking is very doable on West Portal. The surgery was performed by by Dr.Lillie Mosaddegh at the Eye Surgery Center of San Francisco at 1160 Post, so there is a great deal that could be reviewed. In brief, I would give each of these locations 5 stars, including all the people who performed their tasks with diligence and expertise. The Surgery went well and I can see much better than before. From the beginning of the process, mid-July to the point where I could say "Yes, this was very successful," it has been 2 months. This is longer than I was expecting, and at some points after the surgery I had my doubts. I believe some of the post opt medications, though necessary, were irritating my eyes. The high light would be Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh, who as a dedicated physician enjoys sharing her gift to help others! My experience at the Eye Surgery Center is also noteworthy. Charles, the anesthesiologist held my hand during the surgery, 5 stars for that thoughtful kindness!

I would strongly advise avoiding this practice. I came here in 2021 -- after reading recent…read morereviews, things clearly haven't changed. I am still so disturbed from my experience that I now feel compelled to write a review in 2026. Take heed. I was referred here for dry eyes and was summarily up-sold to high heaven. First of all, I was seen an hour late. After examining me, the doctor pressured me into buying this "package" of treatments, even though it was not covered by insurance, and I felt like I had to in order to avoid long-term damage to my eyes. Just to underscore -- it was so incredibly expensive. I have paid less in co-pays for major surgery compared to this. After I parted ways with those funds, I saw a woman come in after me and then get sold the exact same package. Evidently, this was an operation. There are plenty of ophthalmologists in this town with more integrity than this practice. Not a tough bar to clear. I am surprised they haven't been shut down.

It's been a year now since I've gotten LASIK from Dr. Tan and I'm glad I got it!…read moreLast year was a struggle, as I'm sure it was for everyone, and I had already scheduled a week off where I was supposed to go on vacation and obviously that didn't pan out. So I decided, why not get that eye surgery I always wanted and use that week to recover. Plus after a couple of months of foggy glasses I was fed up with glasses at that point. For me personally, contacts never really worked for me because my eyes would always become bloodshot after a few hours. I made an appointment with Dr. Tan's office for a consultation. Even tho his office is near Stonestown, they had me go down to Union Square for the consultation. The staff was very nice and they took my temperature so they took COVID seriously which I appreciated. Dr. Tan had told me all the risks and benefits of getting LASIK and he said I was a good candidate for it, so I went for it. The day of the surgery took less than an hour. It was surprisingly fast, and I was fully conscious for all of it. It is slightly freaky having surgery while you're awake, but Dr. Tan eased my worries and was great at directing me on what to do. Like I had said before I had taken the week off from work to recover, but little did I know that the recovery is basically only a day, you're not even blind when you come out of the surgery. But they do require someone to drive you home after as I'm sure that's a liability issue. They do end up giving you these lenses to tape over your eyes while you sleep, which is fine, because I know I can't be trusted. They also give you a lot of papers with great information on how long to take each medicine for, but whenever I had a question, Eyecare associates were great at answering my questions. I was a little worried about my new eyesight because of the brightness of some lights at night, but eventually after time that was reduced. I don't believe it's completely gone, but after a while you forget what it used to look like anyway and get to focus on how great it is to see things without fumbling with your glasses. I wish I had gotten the surgery way before, I'm so happy with the results. Thank you Dr. Tan and associates! I'd give y'all 20/20 if I could (sorry for the terrible eyesight joke)

Susan Lungar is the rudest, meanest medical "professional" I ever encountered. First of all, Susan…read morewas over an hour late for our scheduled appointment. Then, the second I walked into the room, without any apologies for her tardiness, Susan immediately went on a rant, screaming at me, denying me health care! Susan wouldn't let me get a word in. This appointment was clearly between her and her computer screen, NOT with the human patient sitting before her. She jumped to many unsubstantiated conclusions before ever meeting me prior to this nightmare of a visit. Susan completely failed to deliver patient centered care. Zero empathy, compassion, or understanding. Susan literally threw a cruel tantrum. It was all about her ego and biases. Never attempting to actually treat or exam me. Once her dismissive behavior became clear, I left immediately. I refused to sit there and allow her to yell at me. Susan completely lacks the ability to behave like an adult, let alone treat her patients like adults, or with dignity and respect. What a shame. Please retire and let young, competent professionals in to care for patients who are attempting to bring business to Farallon. You're clearly not able to keep up with the work load any longer.

The doctor himself had great manners, took his time to really understand my symptoms (unlike another ophthalmologist I had seen in the past who rushed me), and was also making conversation getting to know me and such. He was super friendly and professional but had to knock off a star due to wait time. My appointment was scheduled for 1:30PM and I waited until 2:20PM before he got to me. Probably because he is chatty and likes to get to know his patients...so scratch that I'm giving back the star. 5 STARS! Highly recommend!

My experience with Bernd Kutzscher, MD in 2019 was a nightmare. Dr. Kutzscher should have honored…read morehis Hippocratic Oath and performed an eye exam as he was paid to do, billing insurance under the doctors' name while ignorant technicians are the ones doing the work of the MD is wrong, perhaps he should retire if he is tired of performing eyes exams. The technician assessed my eyes through an array of lenses and enter her data in the computer, Dr. Kutzscher came into the room, exchange pleasantries and signed off on the RX without preforming an eye exam. The new RX had a huge change and I was concerned. I bought 2 pairs (clear/dark = $1,400) of glasses with Kutzscher's optician. It took 4 weeks to get the glasses and when I got them, I had a horrendous pain in the eye with the huge change on the RX and had a hard time reading/seeing. I called several times to speak with Dr. Kutzscher, he finally returned my call and said my eyes needed to adjust to the new lenses and agreed to see me three weeks later. Once more the technician assessed my eyes through some lenses and asked me to read some charts which I did with lots of errors but she said it didn't matter. Dr. Kutzscher walked in the room read her notes in the computer and said to keep using the glasses until my eyes adjusted to the change, without performing an eye exam or regard for the pain that I was suffering. I asked him to change the RX, he said there is nothing wrong with the RX, but how does he know if he never performed the eye exam. He should have honored their re-do policy as offered at the time of purchase if the glasses didn't work. The office staff and the optician are very rude, perhaps they believe if they intimidate the clients, they get paid and the problem goes away. Five months later, since the pain continued and I couldn't read or see I went back to my previous eye MD, a true gem, who stands by his work. The doctor performed a comprehensive eye exam and said the pain on my eye was due to the wrong prescription. He assessed my eyes and wrote a new RX. He said if there is any problem, he will re-do my glasses at "no cost". My new RX was a gift sent from heaven I was able to see and read without pain.

But she didn't. She waited until the last minute to call me at work. I was so excited, happy and was looking forward to it. And the fact that it was a medical issue and the insurance company approved it. And so I was all in. I was well prepared for this. I did my own research online on what to expect and what not to do after the surgery. I had to pay my full deductible prior , and I have no idea what the total cost is. I did everything what the nurses said for me to do, and to be at the hospital on time. I mentioned to my manager , I will be out on medical leave and disability, Then to tell him the bad news. He was shocked. What am I supposed to do. He already removed me from the work schedule , that has been prepared 2 weeks in advance. He gave me the day off of the supposed to be surgery, and will figure out on how to get me back on. Until that is fixed, if not I'm out of work for that time and no pay. I had my disability form on my end filled out, and went to her office to drop it off, and it was closed. So I slipped in the paperwork under her door. This is very unprofessional, and not acceptable to me. We're not talking about a simple procedure that can heal in a week. We're talking about my eyesight. She was highly recommended and I trust my doctor's opinion. And to tell him what happened and to refer me to another surgeon. It's a totally waste of my time, effort, stress and money of going back and forth to her office and to be on time for my appointment.
