I called to schedule an eye exam and was placed on hold by Sonya at the front desk for over 30…read moreminutes. I eventually hung up and called back because it seemed I had been forgotten. When Sonya answered, she simply stated that she was helping other clients. I understand that offices can get busy, but leaving someone on hold for that long without checking back or offering an apology is unacceptable. The front desk is the first impression of the practice, and this experience reflected a lack of professionalism and customer service. I hope the office provides additional customer service training to its front desk staff so future patients are treated with better communication, courtesy, and respect for their time.

Unfortunately, things have changed dramatically. Dr. Omar Krad was the best cataract surgeon, and…read morethere were several other doctors and staff members we felt very comfortable with, but they have all left. Now there is an entirely new staff, and sadly, it's nothing like it was in the past. I felt rushed during my recent visit. I have my vision tested there every year, yet they could not find any record of last year's test. They searched my records and through my paper file but still couldn't locate it. When I got home, I found my copy of the test myself, which was exactly a year from my last eye-vision health exam. Overall, I felt the appointment was somewhat rushed and not nearly as personal as it used to be. I really liked the new doctor who gave me my exam, but unfortunately, she too was leaving. It's disappointing to see such a wonderful practice change so dramatically.

His expertise and skills are excellent unfortunately, my insurance is an HMO and Harvard Eye no longer accepts HMO insurance. ONLY PPOs.

As nice as it has been, i had to find a doctor who accepts my Hmo. RETINA Associates in Laguna Hills welcomes me. Not sure if this helps others in my predicament, without a PPO.

I feel confident about my eye health and getting the best possible service and options for my glasses and contact needs. Dr. Goldman was so kind and informative, and they took their time to go over things. They even did an in depth retinal scan.

I appreciate that we did try another sample of contact lenses to see if something else worked better for me. No pressure, just kind service and care that makes you feel like friends. This is the first optometrist we've seen since moving to Orange County, and I would recommend them to everyone I know.

Best Doctors in South OC!! No joke! They saved me from…read moregoing blind!!! I had surgery at uCI cancer center with a plastic surgeon for a breathing problem unrelated to Tayani, where when they disinfected my face with a chemical' disinfectant and burned my corneas! Originally my eyes were taped shut by my Anesthesiologist for intubation. When the surgeon removed the tape off my eyes to prep me for surgery the chemicals seeped into my eyes and burned both corneas sat there my whole surgery for hours. Most painful, worst experience of my life. I've been going here to Tayani's for many many years. Had surgery by Dr Tayani himself too and had Dr Rebecca Ng as my eye Dr for many years here also she was just off this day when I rushed in screaming for help! When I had this horrible experience and was treated horribly without even rinsing my eyes while I screamed at the top of my lungs at Mission Providence Hospital and even my paramedic that delivered me to the ambulance begged them to rinse my eyes it went no where at all. Avoid that place like the plague! Tayani staff , initially Dr. Lanier and the other Drs on staff that day took me in as a walk in the same day of surgery. Then all four Dr's went into the treatment room I was in and each took turns evaluating the damage to my eyes and each made an assessment of the chemical burns. They all agreed to put stem cell plasma on one eye that was worse and a contact lense on the other to help them heal. I was still in severe pain they send me to UCI hospital in Orange where they have optometrist but as usual no one even looked at my eyes there after hours screaming I got morphine and sent home. They were more concerned about my mental health and missed the mark. Never even looked at my eyes or saw the eye Dr! I went back to the lovely Drs here at Tayani and they send me to UCi research center where they had an eye surgeon that put a very thick plasma stem cell ring over the ripped cornea and helped me heal entirely. If I would have not gone here ti Tayani's, the 2 ERs from two hospitals would have left me blind and screaming in pain for weeks I'm sure. I owe Tayani institute Drs for saving me from going blind and unimaginable pain. Where no hospital ER could help these guys all figured out what was wrong and got me to the right place even walked me and my parents with Alzheimer's to the car as I was completely blind literally. Scariest moment of my entire 49'years alive. This is the place to go! They are passionate, caring, kind, professionals with amazing bedside manner and I couldn't have picked a better place to go. These guys are serious and know what they are doing!! You are lucky if you can get anyone of these Drs especially Dr Lanier take you in as a patient. I will never forget. All the staff there and your kindness.
