    Where i was getting video of my eyes live video at that...
    Shay G.

    I must say from the VERY MOMENT when my optometrist gave me a referral to Dr. HAROUT KHANIJIAN, it was going to go by smooth for me from here on. I made an emergency appt due to me having cornea scratching and more, so I was suggested this particular office and I'm glad I accepted it... Dr. Harout Khanijian, all I'm gonna say is the best OD I have ever encountered by far, his front office staff is very professional and very informative about everything you have to ask the staff. The two ladies at the front were very cool chicks and very well spoken, the guy that helped me out was surgical technician there he had stated and went over everything he had to do to my eyes even before the dr. came in he reassured me I was in good hands as of now, and that gentleman held his word cause the service was more than I could ever expect, they had everything u can imagine right there in the office they offer glasses and contacts and to say the least my appt was at 2pm and i was seen at my appt time with no wait time which was a huge plus for my eyes and I right now.. I highly recommend this office and highly recommend the DR in general, he is very thorough with his work amd procedures and did not rush and made sure everything possible my eyes were fine and will be fine after all the emergencies i had to go through to get to this office. It is behind and across from the walgreens on sherman way inside of a doctors towers building with plenty of structure parking behind and in front. Office was very very neat and clean to my liking. At an establishment like this, I will have no problem spending my money here knowing it's truly worth every penny and he's just know rushing me in and out. Another huge plus very very close to my residence which is another bonus with them.

    Beautiful waiting room! Super friendly staff and amazing doctor.

Dr. Lee and his team were so warm and welcoming, I felt so naturally at ease. Dr. Lee was so easy to talk to and had such a patient approach thoroughly explaining everything in the process as well as why each option would or would not work for me before making a recommendation. I proceeded with ICL and even during surgery, he was so kind and patient. The procedure itself was so quick and painless, and I felt completely normal as soon as I got up. No symptoms afterwards or pain, which were my concern. I literally felt as if nothing happened as soon as I got up from the procedure. My vision is amazing now, I just have to get used to the phantom urges to grab my glasses or "remove my contacts" when my eyes feel tired since being able to see + tired eyes used to mean I was wearing contacts. Absolutely zero complaints and have already recommended Dr. Lee to people only 3 days after my procedure.

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.

When I was healed, myself, friends and family were amazed with how great my eye looked. I would highly recommend Dr. Samimi.

    Dr. David Samimi changed my life -- meticulous, honest, and the best at what he does…read more I've lived with cholesterol/fat deposits (xanthelasma) around both eyes for almost 20 years. They were hereditary--I've never had high cholesterol on labs--but the spots slowly grew and became more noticeable. When I didn't sleep well or my nutrition slipped, they looked even more prominent. People would get close to my face and ask what they were; over the years I was even picked on or teased about them. Years ago (~16 years back) I saw a cosmetic dermatologic surgeon who told me they could numb the area and "just take them out with a scalpel," but they couldn't guarantee I wouldn't scar or that they wouldn't come back. That didn't sit right with me. For safety, I'd already had the areas checked--benign--but I still couldn't find a doctor with a real game plan who made me feel confident. I wanted the right solution, not a quick one. After a lot of research and due diligence, I found Dr. David Samimi (Eyesthetica), and that changed everything. Consultation and Plan: From my very first consult in February 2025, Dr. Samimi stood out. He examined me carefully, marked exactly what he planned to treat, walked me through risks and expectations, and answered every question with patience and clarity. He gave me a step-by-step treatment plan instead of vague promises. I immediately referred my mother-in-law and sister-in-law after that first visit because I knew I'd found the right surgeon. Treatment Experience: I completed two in-office sessions and was seen four times total through August 2025. Each procedure was done in his office. I was awake the whole time, completely comfortable, and felt no pain--the anesthesia and technique were that precise. Throughout the sessions, Dr. Samimi narrated what he was doing, re-checked his markings, and treated me with the kind of care you give to family. He provided detailed pre- and post-procedure instructions; I followed them exactly, and my healing was smooth. He also had me return for follow-ups just to confirm the progress and make sure everything looked perfect. Results: The results are exactly what I hoped for: natural, clean, and symmetrical. I waited to write this until I was fully healed. The difference is night and day--those long-standing deposits are gone, and I already feel like there will be little to no visible sign anything was done as more time passes. (For reference, my photo with the hat is my "before," and the photo without the hat is my "after.") Professionalism, Integrity, and Fair Pricing Beyond the surgical skill, what impressed me most was Dr. Samimi's integrity. He was honest and transparent about cost, which I found more than fair for this level of specialty care. But truthfully, price became secondary; this was about finally having a doctor I could trust to do it right. My wife attended my initial consult and said the same thing I felt that day: "You found the best doctor in LA." Final Thoughts: For two decades I carried something on my face that I didn't love. It didn't define me--and my wife always loved me as I am--but getting this handled the right way mattered. I'm grateful I waited until I found Dr. David Samimi, because the experience was flawless from start to finish: expert plan, painless procedures, diligent follow-up, and results that speak for themselves. I've already referred family and anyone who asks about my experience, and I'll keep doing so. Thank you, Dr. Samimi--truly, thank you a hundred times over--for your skill, your honesty, and your care. Five stars isn't enough.
