I can't thank Dr. Ebbie Soroudi enough for what he's done for my vision and peace of mind. I had…read moreLASIK eye surgery done by another doctor a year ago, and unfortunately, the results were far from what I expected. The day after that surgery, my lens was dislodged, and I was left not only with blurred vision but also with so much anxiety and uncertainty about what went wrong and how it could be fixed. From my very first consultation, he was thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully evaluate my case and explained everything in a way that made me feel heard and reassured. I never once felt rushed or brushed off--something I truly appreciated after my previous experience. Dr. Soroudi successfully corrected the original issue and re-did the LASIK procedure with precision and care. The difference was night and day--not just in my vision, but in the entire surgical experience. Thanks to him, I can finally see clearly again, and I'm beyond grateful for his expertise and dedication. If you're looking for someone who truly knows what they're doing and actually cares about your outcome, I highly recommend Dr. Soroudi. He turned a very stressful situation into a complete success.

I called the office six times before finally reaching a live person. When I requested not to be put on hold, I was placed on hold regardless. After the individual returned to the line, I asked why, and her reply was, "What do you want, I am busy." I pointed out her rudeness, and she promptly hung up on me. My subsequent calls went unanswered. When I called later in the day, someone picked up the phone, but it seemed to be an accidental pickup, as I could hear an unrelated conversation between the receptionist and a patient, which I found odd. I have been a patient at this office for over 30 years and have never experienced any issues until now. However, I have concluded that the current frontline employees are incapable of providing professional service or even basic politeness, so I will be seeking care from a new eye provider. I attempted to call the office to speak with the office manager to request that my medical records be sent to another medical professional. I was informed the office manager was unavailable and that someone named Helen would contact me regarding my records; however, I have still received no communication from the office.

His strength is in dealing with any issues that arise. My wife had suffered a serious cataract dislocation (and loss of vision) from an original surgery done 10 years earlier by another doctor. Dr. Hovanesian skillfully removed the old lens and structure, successfully implanting a new lens. The resulting eye debris caused critical eye pressure increase and pain over subsequent days, but Dr. Hovanesian saw her repeatedly over this period, even personally directing laser treatments at a different location. He is an impressively skilled doctor who very much cares for his patients and is joined by a friendly, highly professional, caring staff. At first visit he may appear curt, but it is because he is focusing on the medical treatment and issues. If you value your vision, your eye health and the surgical outcome over bedside manner, Dr. Hovanesian is a great choice with whom to entrust your care.

Unfortunately, my experience with two staff members was disappointing. One seemed rushed and did not clearly warn me before touching my eye with a laser, which caused me to flinch.

While I had my own sunglasses, I requested the disposable shades typically provided after eye exams for additional protection. The receptionist initially told me I didn't need them and later explained they had run out. It's a shame, because Dr. Gutmark is a very good doctor, but the staff experience detracted from an otherwise positive visit.

Life-Altering Administrative Failure Resulting in Permanent Monocular Vision…read more I am writing this review approximately three years+ after the events of early 2023 to ensure my feedback is entirely objective, rational, and cool-headed. I intentionally waited this long to process my frustration so I could provide a balanced yet unflinching account of how the administrative operations at Specialty EyeCare Medical Center (located on N. Brand Blvd. in Glendale, CA) cost me the permanent vision in my right eye. To provide context, my history with this clinic began a year and a half prior, when I suffered a retinal detachment in my left eye. The care I received then was excellent, and the clinic successfully saved my vision. My primary treating surgeon, Dr. Anna Gabrielian, is a highly skilled professional who performed a total of three solid surgeries on both of my eyes. I am extremely grateful to her for saving my left eye! However...this review is not an indictment of her surgical capabilities, but rather a warning about the systemic administrative failures of the practice. In early 2023, I suffered a retinal detachment in my right eye. A retinal detachment is a universally recognized medical emergency requiring urgent, time-sensitive surgical intervention to prevent permanent blindness. Unfortunately, during the COVID-19 era, the clinic severely overbooked its patient volume. Because of this administrative chaos, the office completely lost track of my file and forgot about me! Despite the urgency of my condition, nearly three weeks passed with zero communication or scheduling from the clinic. I ultimately had to call the office myself just to ask what was happening. By the time I was finally seen, the delay had rendered my retinal detachment irreversible. Following this failure, a secondary male surgeon at the practice (Haroutoun Hovanesian, MD) subtly implied that the inability to fix the eye was my fault -- a deeply unprofessional shifting of blame given that the clinic had entirely neglected my scheduling timeline. Because of this systemic failure, I am now 100% blind in my right eye, forced to live with permanent monocular vision for the rest of my life, beginning in my mid-50s (I am 56 now). This outcome was, in my opinion, entirely preventable and represents borderline medical negligence or malpractice! Note that my blindness is now causing on-going progressive exophoria, which has had significant impact on my career opportunities as an Actor! My face is my business card, so losing full sighht in one eye has chain-reaction effects! I should be irate! What makes this situation unforgivable is the clinic's complete lack of accountability. Over the last three years, I have maintained the utmost courtesy. I never raised my voice, never complained, and never pursued legal action. Despite the clinic receiving substantial financial compensation from me for multiple surgeries and visits, I have never received even a single written apology, a letter of acknowledgment, or any form of compensation for an administrative error that altered my life forever. Clearly, they feared litigation. The staff members at the front desk and in the scheduling offices can also tend to be rude and abrupt. Sadly enough, the above-referenced male surgeon displays very clear signs of chauvinism, and to worsen things, the phone service is often very rude. It also seemed that if you are not of a specific "local cultural ethnicity", you are treated very differently and way more abruptly! Online reviews also clearly seem to confirm that observation! I had 3 years of experience with that medical center (and affiliate local offices), so I am not stating those facts randomly. In summary, if you utilize this clinic, please be aware that profit and overbooking appear to take priority over administrative accuracy and patient safety. The exhausting phone hold wait times are already hard enough to handle (over 1.5 hours wait time, at times!)...your surgical outcome is only as good as your wallet and as good as the office's ability to remember you exist.

I scheduled an appointment with this ophthalmology clinic for a possible eye infection, only to…read morefind out on the day of my visit--when I called to confirm--that the office had canceled my appointment without notifying me. I was told the provider would be at another location that day, but no one reached out by phone, text, or email to let me know or to help reschedule. For something as important as eye care, especially when symptoms are concerning, this lack of communication is extremely disappointing. Patients rely on timely updates, and it's frustrating to discover a cancellation only because I called. I hope the clinic improves its scheduling and notification process so others don't experience the same issue.

He treats you like he's known you for years and goes above and beyond to make sure he diagnoses you correctly. I've never had a doctor where I've felt that I could talk to for hours on end like this. He's very genuine and there's no BS. As other reviewers have stated, you really do feel like you're talking to an old friend. He wanted me to come back, free of charge, just to make sure my prescription had really changed. I've never had an eye doctor suggest that, and this was from a Groupon! I've never been so impressed during an eye appt. He really genuinely cares about you and wants to make sure you have the most accurate assessment. In addition on top of the excellent service they gave me a TON of eye drop samples for my dry eyes. I've never had an eye appointment feel like Xmas! I will 100 percent be coming back here!
