    I have been going to Dr Taban for years. He really takes the time to answer any and all questions completely and plainly. I have recommended him to many friends and family whole heartedly. He is a great eye roc- gentle, patient, thorough, and kind hearted. The staff are also top notch- easy to deal with, have a customer friendly system, and are also kind and patient. Overall- go see Dr Taban! He rocks!

    Waiting area chairs, seems a bit old.

    It was very difficult in getting a referral than making an appointment, however my family doctor's office and insurance and is also to blame for that. The appointment was pretty fast as in later on that week, however the medical assistant asked me some rather personal questions than I'd rather not answer like, "Are you employed?" what does that have to do with anything? Dr. Boyce was an older ophthalmologist but very nice person. He answered all of my questions and didn't push me into doing the surgery for profits as some other places might do. Though I was a bit concerned about coming in for multiple visits when it should really be done in one. I also saw Dr. Roh and he seemed nice and professional, however he is only there 2 days a week so time is very limited for him. I also got some pushiness from him to do the surgery, which kind of made me feel uncomfortable. So in the end, it was determined that I didn't need any retina surgery done so I thought that was the end of that but he wanted me to make another appointment with him, what? If I didn't need any retina work done than why am I making another appointment with him? He never explained why, though I'm pretty sure it was profit driven and I opted not to. In the end, it's difficult to find a good ophthalmologist who puts patients first over profits. Make sure you get a 2nd opinion or even 3rd to determine if a surgery is right for you.

    These are the glasses I ordered.

    Good service,great staff.recomened to everyone. The technician knew what she was doing gave me a more than normal I exam than I've ever had before I recommend this place to everyone professional.

    It's hard to do reviews for medical groups. Are you reviewing the front office staff, the nurses, the facilities, or the doctors? The facility is in the 4th floor of a dingy building filled with medical offices. The waiting room has old worn chairs and low cruddy fluorescent lighting; the bathroom may not have TP or be very clean. I've never been seen on time except for a 7:15 surgery, even when I'm supposedly the first appointment of the day. On my pre-op appointment, it was 40 minutes before I was seen because the front desk "forgot" to notify the nurse. Neither the nurse nor front staff apologized. Your time is less important theirs in the world of medicine divorced from customer service ideas. On the medical front, Dr. Samimi is top-notch. He has a degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and completed his ophthalmology residency at the University of Miami's Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Dr. Samimi currently teaches oculofacial plastic surgery as a clinical instructor at the Keck School of Medicine at USC. He answers all the questions you have clearly and welcomes patients with an informed interest in their procedures. He's approachable and clear in his explanations of procedures. I felt fortunate to have a doctor of his caliber available to see me. Again, you'll probably never have an appointment that is on time here. The horrible TV in the waiting room blares religious propaganda. Check back in every 30 minutes to minimize your chances of being forgotten. Allow 1 hour of waiting time plus appt time if you're planning your day because you work or have other things to do besides waiting in an ugly medical office.

    This large opthalmology practice appears very efficient

My appointment was set with Dr. Chew. Let me just say. I was a bad customer this time. I came in with two different older prescriptions and 2 pairs of glasses. It was a mess. I was really frustrated because a new pair of glasses I purchased (with a valid prescription) made me feel disoriented. Dr. Chew was so incredibly kind and patient with me. He even checked my glasses to make sure the company I bought them from didn't mess up. He did a very thorough exam and explained what he was thinking to me and I am really happy with how the appointment went. I went from feeling frustrated and annoyed to feeling relieved.

I requested another appointment and she stated I'll need another authorization from my primary doctor. I got it in a few min and she give me a next day appointment, I attended ant the receptionist aren't friendly at all. Last year it was with another doctor, the one entered into the room was different, she didn't introduce herself, as soon as she saw me as Hispanic she said english or HABLO ESPAÑOL? do you understand? I responded im bilingual, she reviewed the computer images and stated saying, if I have sleep apnea? I was thinking is she calling me obese? That was out of place, when she touched my eye she did it with hesitation, awkwardly, then very fast she was finishing the consultation without explaining anything to me, she was walking out when she asked any question? I stated she was rude since the beginning and I didn't appreciate it at all the time there, because of the missing info, she apologized and started over explaining the result for my visit. At the end she corrected right, we are living nationwide difficulties as Hispanics and we are not looking for extra dramas. Making the next appointment for another ocassion, the lady receptionist was at the same annoyed vibe, probably they forgot where's the salary money coming from? Of course from us the patients. Hopefully the service will be better as it has a lot of potential to receive a lot people because of the great technology they have.

Not being educated on what EVOicl, Lasik, and smile treatments are, I came into my first consultations not knowing a thing. Needless to say my counselor Christine took the lead in enlightening me on which procedure was right for my eyes. For context, my eyes were both around -6.5 with bad astigmatism. She ran through the entire process and explained what to expect going into my operation. Overall, from the beginning to the end, I felt safe, secure, and well-educated in every step of the process. The surgery itself was held at their Rowland Heights location, and the office staff/ doctors were super friendly and helpful. Dr Patrick Pham knew what to say to relieve any stress going into the treatment, and was well spoken throughout.

When I told her I was interested in RLE surgery, she lit up and a huge smile came across her face! Because it is the pricier vision surgery.

Nope, the entire time was pushing the surgery and a particular surgeon who I could only meet after I put down a $100 refundable deposit to lock in their 1k discount offer. This is eye surgery!!!! Not buying a used car or getting a gym membership. Prior to this place, I have had several enlightening consultations with the surgeons themselves. I wouldn't trust my eyes to this extremely tacky place.

The staff was able to answer majority of my questions. After which, I went on a Tuesday to have the in-person check up and scans done. I went to determine if I was a candidate for PRK (4-day recovery) or LASIK (1-day recovery). Shelly was the one who assisted me. Then my surgery was scheduled that Friday. I arrived at 12:30pm as schedule. The scans were redone for accuracy. The LASIK procedure was done at around 2pm and lasted for approximately 15mins. They give you valium 30minutes before and Xanax after to help you sleep. The process I would say is 5/10 in terms of pain. There's a pressure in your eye then the laser. After the procedure, there's a lot of burning's sensation and it's difficult to open your eyes. That's why they recommend to sleep for at least 6 hours to give your eyes a rest and recover. They give you eye shields and glasses and there will be eye medications that you need to instill for 7days and eye drops for 3 months. You need to come back the following day for a follow up. The following morning, I am able to see clearly but a little bit cloudy. Both doctors were nice and have a great bedside manner. Overall, I highly recommend this place for LASIK. They do have payment options, one of is care credit, 18months zero interest.
