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.

At the age of 46 years old, I unfortunately got hit with congenital cataracts in my left eye. I was suppose to go to Kaiser and just do it with my insurance. But just like most places there was no personal comfort and care like a place like the Vision Institute. After much research and second opinion after 3rd or more I made a visit to this place months ago. Right away I was seen, cared for like no other. The first lady I dealt with asked me so many valuable questions, and assured my presence there was important as it should be. I felt safe and comfortable right away. I met Dr. Hura for the first time that day and I was relieved to know he also was extremely helpful and amazing to answer my questions and share the right information to make me feel at home. The 2nd visit was to dilatate, do measurements, and get me ready for a possible surgery. That day was even better, being cared for and treated like a human being would want felt great. My worries of eye vision lost or any other things was going down. The Surgery Day at Specialty Surgical Center was even better, the Nurses, the Anesthesia specialist, the O.R. Nurse, Surgical tech, and the Recovery Nurse were all patient with me, and made me feel at home again. Made me feel safe and communicated with me always. Surgery was completed and I did not feel any pain or discomfort. Just a little anxiety on my end. Went home rested, for the first 2 days I stayed home and just relaxed and could tell my vision get better every day. Eye drops, and just rest made it hard to do as an active person I am. But day 3 I went back to work with ease and now after about a week and a half. My vision is on the last 3rd base with a homerun in the horizon! My vision is much more clearer then ever, day by day it's only gotten better! I am so extremely happy and after being overwhelmed with what could happen or what can I can't do. It's safe to say that I'm glad I made the right decision and even if I had to pay out of pocket. The price is worth it! You can't put a price on the Best Quality, and most importantly our own health! OUR EYES! I'm looking forward to the next 2 and half weeks and complete my 30 days after surgery to be ready to tackle life again. I surely will decide to do the right eye next in the coming months. SUPER THANK YOU TO DR. HURA! The Staff of the Vision Institute for always answering my calls with sincerity and care. Thank you to the awesome people at the Specialty Surgical Center for caring and being comforting before, during and after my surgery! You are all God Send and I'm forever grateful for this experience! Much Love and Take Care Always! -Rommel / Small Paws Cremations

Dr. Shamie was patient as I puzzled through the decision process (despite the fact that she's obviously been through it a thousand times).

I was apprehensive about doing the surgery so I did many hours of research and had consultations with other highly reputable surgeons. But I found that none of them came close to Dr. Devgan in terms in knowledge and experience. After all, he is The Cataract Coach and has performed over 40,000 surgeries, including many for other ophthalmologists. Plus he spent a great deal of time during my consultation reviewing my images taken in his office, discussing lens options, explaining the surgery process, and patiently answering my many questions. Dr. Devgan loves what he does and his passion is evident when you meet with him. Additionally, everyone on his staff is very pleasant and professional. And Dr. Devgan gives his patients his email and cell number so we can contact him with any questions. I texted him on three occasions and he responded immediately! And in each case, he gave me very thorough answers to my questions. It was very comforting to know that he was always just a text away. I don't know of any other doctor who is so available to their patients. Dr Devgan recommended the Alcon Vivity in both eyes for me and my surgeries went well with no issues. They were both quick and painless and everything went smoothly at the Surgical Center. He came over and talked to me before I went into the operating room which I appreciated. I am very happy with the results. I requested the focus be set at near/intermediate, and I was OK wearing glasses for distance. I use a mild reader for fine print, my intermediate is perfect, and my distance is better than I expected. I can drive in the daytime without glasses, so I just I need them for driving at night. And there is very minimal halos and glare at night; much less than before surgery. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Devgan as my surgeon. I will not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family because I know they will be in excellent and very skilled hands!

In addition to telling me about the intra ocular lens that he recommends for me at this time (i.e. the Symfony), he also told me that I might want to wait for the PureSee iol which will be available late in 2026. Also he told me that I have an eye tearing deficiency that merits being addressed. No other cataract surgeon (of the other 3 that I visited) detected this issue. I found him to be calm, detailed, and very friendly and helpful. The rest of his staff is the same.

My case was not easy--back in 2005, I had LASIK surgery with a very high prescription of -12 in my right eye and -10 in my left. Over time, I began to lose vision in my right eye again, and after a thorough evaluation, Dr. Seibel determined that cataract surgery was necessary. From the first consultation, Dr. Seibel's professionalism, experience, and calm confidence gave me great peace of mind. He explained the procedure thoroughly and made sure I understood what to expect. What truly stood out to me is how skilled and meticulous he is--my surgery was complex due to my history, but he performed it with absolute precision. Despite the difficulty, he achieved an excellent outcome and my vision has significantly improved. Dr. Seibel is not just a top surgeon--he's a leading educator in the field, having authored multiple cataract surgery textbooks and trained other surgeons. You can truly feel that expertise when you're under his care. It's clear he treats every patient with the same care and attention he gives to teaching others. This review is the least I can do to thank him. If you're considering cataract surgery or any vision correction procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Seibel. You'll be in the best hands possible.

Severe Complications, Violation of Consent and Unacceptable Post-Op Negligence…read more I had bilateral upper eyelid ptosis repair performed by Dr. Adeleh Yarmohammadi at Assil Gaur Eye Institute. While the surgery itself was technically fine, the entire experience before and after was unacceptable Before procedure, it was difficult to get Dr. Yarmohammadi to sit down and thoroughly explain the process or set expectations. She gave me a release form full of irrelevant clauses, including consent for photography, which I specifically crossed out but she took photos anyway and ignoring my explicit refusal which is a clear violation of my patient rights and consent. When I pointed out what was on this form, she admitted she hadn't even read the form she gives to patients. Due to the grossly inadequate Post-Surgical Care, the real problems began after surgery. A loose suture knot on my right eye, slipped under my eyelid, causing extreme distress for many days. Despite my calls and texts, I received little to no concern or support from Dr. Yarmohammadi. At another appointment, an office assistant--not the surgeon--removed the knot from my eye and tried to treat the damage. At another appointment, Dr. Yarmohammadi abruptly ripped the sutures out of my eyelids, without warning, explanation, or any attempt to prepare me for the excruciating pain, causing me to yell out in pain from the physical trauma. She actually had the nerve to complain to me about my strong reaction. I had to explain to her that had she bothered to communicate to me with any preparation, what to expect, how was she going to do this procedure, etc. I might have physically responded differently At another appointment she discovered she had left a piece of suture in my lid, which she then removed but worsened inflammation and on going damage. She was unable or unwilling to arrange timely treatment, and I ultimately had to stop seeing her and seek care with my optometrist. It has been six weeks now since my surgery and I am still being treated for complications cause by her sloppy work and aftercare. I spoke with the office manager, Christianna Anderson, she listened to me but offered no answers to my questions regarding the negligence and she offered no accountability. In my experience, Dr, Yarmohammadi demonstrated poor communication skills, careless work, a lack of compassion and an arrogant attitude. Medical degrees do not come with crowns. Patients deserve to be treated with respect, care and compassion. Healthcare is about healing, not arrogance or careless mistakes. Also, I realized that this entire process was covered fully by my insurance (no out of pocket). Due to this, I felt she provided the bare minimum treatment causing complications and forcing me to return for multiple, unnecessary follow up appointments, instead of giving me the proper treatment from the start. I have reported all of this to my insurance company. I strongly advise anyone considering surgery or any treatment with Dr. Adeleh Yarmohammadi to look elsewhere as there are many surgeons in town who can perform this surgery.

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.
