The problem here is no one in this office knows hwo to actually listen to patients…read more I was referred to Dr. Fram, but was quivckly told that she "wanted me to see" this other doctor in her office. Fine, my issue was watery eyes not catracts. Upon arrival I was sent in to meet with, not the docotr, but a series of technicians who stumbled thru using various gadgets that did or did not work properly. I mentioned to one that I was just here for watery eyes and she told me that liquid tears would help but get the one without preservatives. After about 45 minutes of various tests, which included dilating my eyes, which I was not told about ahead of time, a young, pretty doctor walked in, did a 3-4 minute exam and then declared, "Oh, good news! You don't have cataracts!" I explained that I didn;t come here for that, but rather for watery eyes, and she said "Oh, just get some liquid tears!" I asked how long I'd have to wait to drive home with my eyes dilated and she said "Oh 3-4 hours." When I began to object, she said "Oh we can do reversal drops!" and then walked out and did not return until I demanded that I get these magical reversal drops. They finally found another doctor who applied these reversal drops and I asked how long I'd have to wait and was told "About 1-2 hours." So after 2 hours, with my eyes still feeling dilated and a $50 parking bill looming, -- this is Centruy City -- I just left. I ended up paying a lot of money for being told the same thing about liquid tears I could have found on Google, almost got into an accident on the way home, and was out $50 for parking. A complete waste of half a day, my nerves shot, and frustrated as hell. I'll obviously never go here again, even if I do need cataract surgery, I have no idea whether Dr Fram is as good as they say, but clearly everyone else in her office is sorely lacking, mostly in their ability to stop and listen to what patientss need.

I regret trusting Dr. Khodabakhsh, who performed a femtolaser assisted cataract surgery on my left…read moreeye using a light adjustable lens (LAL) last year. He's supposed to be the best, but his treatment led to months of misery both for my vision and time wasted trying to get reimbursed for procedures that ended up being covered by insurance and being double billed for the lens. While my treated eye is functional, it's not optimal nor what he promised. If you see Dr. K., do not trust him that everything is out of pocket, ask him to submit insurance claims for everything even if he tells you no insurance will ever cover it (it's up to the insurance to determine that) and get a written quote for anything out of pocket. If you end up prepaying for supposedly "noncovered services," make him put in the contract that he will reimburse you the excess should insurance cover the procedure. Pay close attention to your insurance claims so you do not get double billed by Dr. K and the Surgery Center. Also, do not let Dr. K.'s office use your credit card to pay the referring optometrist. Details are as follows: 1) He convinced me to get an expensive LAL lens that would allow him to adjust my vision post-surgery if his prediction of the lens power was off pre-surgery. He did not disclose that he would be making me so farsighted after the surgery that I could not read my phone without holding it 2 feet away! He assumed I knew so he could "fix" the power later. This caused a huge problem between my normal untreated eye and the surgical eye; I ended up getting a needle stick at work a week after the surgery-Dr. K. did not care when I told him. This is not proper informed consent. He also misled me when he said I would not need glasses if I picked the LAL lens; I ended up compromising far vision to get reasonable near vision without reading glasses 2) He told me that the LAL lens, the femtolaser (instead of a traditional scalpel) and the laser treatments to adjust the lens power were not covered by insurance, quoting me $9000 (later discounted to $8000). My research showed that this was about double what others were charging. I decided to proceed since this was for my eye and he was supposed to be the "best." 3) After the surgery, I found out that my insurance covered all of what Dr. K said was out of pocket. My insurance allotted $2100 to the Surgery Center (of which Dr. K is a part owner) for my lens! That meant that I had paid for the lens twice-first to Dr. K. for the lens package before the surgery and then again as part of my coinsurance to the Surgery Center. The Surgery Center eventually gave me back the coinsurance for the lens, but Dr. K.'s office refused to submit an insurance claim for the lens and tried to prevent me from submitting my own claim by saying it would be "medical fraud" for me to claim the lens using Dr. K's tax ID #; since Dr. K did not purchase the lens directly from the manufacturer (he bought the lens from the Surgery Center), he was not allowed to bill insurance for it (but he billed me!). Fortunately, my insurance company helped me get Dr. K's tax ID # (he refused to provide it) and file the claim; insurance approved all the procedure codes (with allowable contracted amounts-about 50% of the out of pocket charge); but Dr. K never gave me back the excess out of pocket charge. 4) He has a suspicious deal with my optometrist. His surgical coordinator called me to charge my credit card $8000 the day before the surgery, but then charged $1000 on my card to my optometrist and $7000 to Dr. K's office. It made it look like I was the one paying the optometrist willingly with my credit card, circumventing the appearance of Dr. K. paying the optometrist for my referral. Dr. K's coordinator kept on trying to get me to see my optometrist for the post-op visits, but I never did. I insisted on following up with Dr. K, but his office blocked that and scheduled me with an optometrist working for Dr. K. However, even if I did see the referring optometrist post-op, he would not have been entitled to the out of pocket payment. Aftercare within 90 days post cataract surgery is covered by the insurance payment for the surgery even if it is provided by an optometrist. Seeing me for a vision check without providing laser treatment on the lens would only allow the optometrist to get paid out of the cataract surgery insurance payment, not a portion of my out of pocket payment. I confronted the referring optometrist who first tried to claim that the yearly routine vision screening paid for by my vision insurance was the "pre-op" for the cataract surgery, but then eventually gave me back the $1000 as he had not participated in the surgery/aftercare. However, he made me sign something saying it was a "system error" as his office does a lot of business/referrals with Dr. K's office. Overall, the most horrid medical experience I have ever had. Stay away unless you want to be deceived, overcharged and disregarded!

I cannot recommend this practice based on my experience…read more During my last visit, the physician did not perform an eye examination. A technician performed retinal imaging and a vision test and told me there were no changes from my previous visit, when I had been examined by a reputable retina specialist who no longer works at this practice. I was not examined by the physician, Dr. Benjamin, who was on site that day. Afterward, I obtained my medical record and found multiple diagnoses that are incorrect and would require an eye examination to diagnose. The chart also documented symptoms and conditions that I did not have. What alarmed me most was that I was provided with a tear duct scan that did not belong to me. The scan was timestamped after I had already left the office, and the patient's name appeared to be handwritten rather than printed by the imaging system. This raised serious concerns for me about the practice's recordkeeping, patient privacy, and the accuracy of my own medical record. The practice also refuses to produce the native imaging with patient PII embedded in the images.

After learning about lens replacement surgery in 2024, I sought several consultations. From the moment I met Dr. Jafri, I felt completely at ease. She was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly explain my options and potential outcomes. I knew immediately that I was in extremely capable hands. Given my vision challenges, our goal was simply to improve my eyesight, with the possibility of needing LASIK touch-ups later. However, the results of the surgery and lens correction far exceeded our expectations--I now have 20/20 vision. Dr. Jafri supported me every step of the process. The surgery at UCLA Stein Eye Institute was a very comfortable experience, and any follow-up touch-up procedures were performed at Dr. Jafri's office, where I always felt welcomed and well cared for. For anyone considering vision correction, I cannot recommend Dr. Jafri highly enough. She is truly the best.
