My mother-in-law recently developed a severe eye infection, and we were at a loss for what to do. I remembered Dr. Shirazian from years ago and recommended that she make an appointment. My goodness--my mother-in-law couldn't stop raving about him! She's never spoken so highly of a doctor. Dr. Shirazian was incredibly kind, thorough, and compassionate, and we're so grateful for the excellent care she received. read more

The doctor was very friendly and helpful, and the diagnosis was good and the examination was very careful. Thank you very much to him.

Dr Shirazian is the best!! He is patient, thorough, caring and honest. His office staff is very nice also and they have a very nice collection of choices. read more

The Dr is really great! He takes his time, tries to connect on a personal level, and tries to make his business feel like a local shop where customers are also friends. The staff, the ones who do all the on-the-floor tasks are not so charming, friendly or helpful. It's so painfully obvious that their main/only goal is to upsell, upsell, upsell. They don't really care if the frames they're choosing for you is actually suitable for your face. They just want to make sure you fall in love with frames that are $500+ I got flattered into buying a pair beautiful plastic YSL frames, but being Asian with very little nose bridge, these plastic frames (not very adjustable) are super annoying as they constantly slip off my nose. Seems like advice your "optometrist" office would give you, if they actually cared about you. Well, they did a good job selling me since I walked out of there dropping $1500 for two progressive glasses! Oh, and that's after insurance. Whatever that means because the two "saleswomen" and the guy who also does the "fitting" are clueless and can't explain your benefits to save their lives. Shame on me for falling prey to their inauthentic "help" fitting me for frames. Mind you, when I was getting fit/in shopping mode, they were sweet as pie but when I went back in to ask for an adjustment so my $1000 glasses could fit me better, they could give zero sh!ts. So transparent. All I can advise is buyer beware and stand firm on your budget. I don't think they have frames for under $400. I wish I can give more stars because it is quite convenient to get an appt. read more

Came here for an eye exam and had a great experience. Dr. Shirazian is incredibly friendly, sociable, and just has the sunniest personality. He made the whole process super quick and easy, and you can tell he truly cares about his patients. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a great eye doctor. read more

I have been going to this place for nearly 20 years and will continue to for many more years. The Dr is exceptional and his staff is welcoming and friendly. They have insurance knowledge which is important so you can make a better decision about what you choose. Highly recommended!!! read more

Best optometrist i have ever seen. Professional with great attention to details. Highly knowledgeable and interesting to talk to as well. Dr Shirazian is the best of the best. read more

It's not easy to find a doctor who makes you feel good every time you see him. It's Dr. Shirazian! Very nice and patient, never rushes, asks you questions and makes you feel good. The office is very nice and clean, friendly stuff. Could you ask for more? I highly recommend Dr. Shirazian if you're looking for good and caring Doctor. read more

The office is nice. It has a modern feel to it. The staff were friendly and professional. They have a strong AC, which is much appreciated since it has been so hot in the valley. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Shirazian for over a decade, and every visit reminds me why. He's incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients' eye health--not just their prescriptions. His team is always warm, professional, and efficient, making the entire experience smooth from start to finish. I trust Dr. Shirazian completely with my vision care and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great optometrist you can rely on for the long term. read more

It's funny how sometimes the people who are so central to your well-being are the ones for whom you never stop to write a Yelp review. Instead, we leave it to those who have an axe to grind or who never even actually met the service provider. Well, I want to correct that oversight right now. Foad Shirazian has been my eye doctor for countless years. (I'm sure I actually _could_ count them but I simply don't have the time.) Foad has not only taken care of my eyes, but also those of my three growing (now grown) children, for well over a decade. Over the years, I've come to regard him not just as a doctor, but as a trusted friend and health advisor. As my health changed over the years (aging is not for the weak of spirit), Foad helped me to find a new primary doctor who in turn introduced me to my new cardiologist, orthopedic specialist, and neurologist. My primary health team is all working in sync - thanks to Foad. I had no idea when I first came to Foad some thirteen years ago (okay, so now I counted!) that I would be opening up the door to a better way of taking care of myself. But more importantly, I need to talk with you about Foad Shirazian the doctor. Foad knows his patients. REALLY knows them. He spends far more time with his patients than any other optometrist I've ever seen. And over the years, I've seen many. Rather than a rushed "better on 1 or 3?" exam and a few blurry, blinking stares at an eye chart across the room, Foad looks at my eyes, examines them optically, explains the digital images to me and tracks my progress from each appointment to the next. And only then starts to compare the lenses and numbers. I also get texts and calls from him -- from HIM, not his staff -- following up on my progress after my appointments. Are his frames a bit more upscale and the prices sometimes a bit higher? Possibly. But the quality is higher as well. When you choose to go to a sole practitioner rather than a big box chain (I'm talking about you, Lenscrafters!), you get more focused attention. And you are supporting a business in your own community. With Foad, you are a patient and valued client, not just a number. His staff all know me and my family and they greet us warmly whenever one of us walks through his door -- even when we are coming in unannounced. Foad Shirazian has seen me and my family through a lot over the years. And thanks to his expert care, I know I've seen it all more clearly. I can't possibly recommend him more highly to anyone in need of proper eye care. read more

Wow! What an amazing optometrist. Very knowledgeable, very personable, and with cutting edge technology. Dr. Shirazian was able to immediately alleviate my eye issues by diagnosing my problem within minutes and providing the needed treatment. Also, an amazing staff who caters to their customers. This office should be your go to for your eye care. Not to mention, they have the latest name brand styles of prescription and sunglasses. read more

I won't be going back again. I think doctor Shirazian is a wonderful doctor so please note this review has absolutely nothing to do with him! I've gone here about four times at this point because I really wanted to give it a chance. Time and time again I feel so pressured by the other employees. Also- this place is significantly marked up. I found a pair of glasses that retail for $300 and they're trying to sell the frames for $675??? Excuse me??! This most recent time, I tried to pick out a pair of sunglasses that I believed total would be roughly $400 since that's what I know the lenses would cost plus the frames- it came out to $950?! With my insurance!!! And then the woman tried to tell me "oh why don't I show you the price without insurance" like that somehow matters??? Then she asked me if I can't afford it to have me do a payment plan. I can afford it, I just don't believe in wasting my money when I don't have to?! Later I found out that the glasses they sold me two years ago were made of PLASTIC!!!!! I didn't understand why they were getting so scratched and they didn't tell me why that was the case. I took them to my original doctor and they told me it was made of plastic. And no that's not what I wanted I never agreed to put plastic lenses into a Tom Ford frame. My Tom ford glasses from my other place have been perfect for almost 7 years. Just no care in the world. To top it off- whoever the guy is that helps you find glasses- you need to stop being so pushy and make people feel bad about themselves for not wanting to pay $3,000 for two pairs of glasses. This place is such a rip off. I seriously cannot believe it. And then!! They said "oh if it's too much then we'll do $2700 for you" excuse me? So you can change the prices?!? This is just so ridiculous clearly they just want your money. Go elsewhere to pick out frames you're being ripped off. read more

The best service, and the kindest people I've ever done business with. They genuinely care about you, and the wellbeing of your eyes.

The Doctor and staff are exceptional! Can't remember when I have received such excellent customer service! Would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs an eye exam and beautiful glasses that fit my face and personality. So glad I found a place for my annual exams! read more

Since I have been coming her for a few years, Dr. Shirazian and his staff are always welcoming to me every time I come for a visit. They're very personable and attentive and makes be feel comfortable being there. As far as the services go, they do seem a bit on the higher end side, but considering how convenient they are to me, it's worth it. I also think the prices seem a bit steep but if you're not comfortable buying from them, they'll be happy to provide the prescription for elsewhere. I do buy contacts from the doctor here but since I wear glasses more, I go to Warby Parker as I think their prices are more in line with my budget. read more

I've been a customer for several years and extremely pleased. They have the perfect combination for success - quality care, quality products, and highly knowledgeable staff. You'll be very happy even with difficult prescriptions like mine have always been. read more

What an amazing experience. My daughter is 12, first time experience with contacts and our experience with Dr. Foad Shirazian was phenomenal. He is such a calm and kind person. Explained facts about contacts and the process we will go through to insure the best results in great detail. My daughter has a complicated vision prescription with her astigmatism and the details Dr. Shirazian shared was a game changer in the direction we chose to go in. His team is a reflection of him as well. Knowledgeable, kind, smile from the second you walk in, and very accommodating. I'm so glad we chose to go to Dr. Shirazian. I recommend him to everyone. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr Shirazian for many years, he is so professional and kind with caring staff, beautiful and clean office, thank you Dr read more

I've been giving to Dr Shirazian for the last year , I am very pleased with his work, besides the fact that he is a nice guy, he is a good dr , takes his time and always there to answer questions even after the exam. I used to buy my glasses from Costco, honestly I was never happy, I bought an expensive pair of glasses 3 years ago and now I only go to change the lense after the exam when needed, the quality of the lense is completely different than those from Costco and worth the extra buck you pay here , I do recommend this place , I'm happy I found it. read more

I can see! Which is a big deal for me and those of us running around out here with football-shaped eyes (astigmatism). The doctor and his staff are attentive, professional, and really strive to understand the customer's vision needs when creating a perfect blend of prescription with frame and lens recommendations. As someone who values my time, yet seeks quality and variety with good pricing, I'm grateful to have received a recommendation for Dr. Shirazian's practice, as all of my expectations were exceeded. Thanks again! read more

I'm sure Dr. Shirazian is a great doctor and a nice person as so many of these reviews state but I won't ever find out. The woman who answered his phone today quoted $250 for a contact lens exam. I told her that was too high and she said "maybe I can talk to the doctor and do it for $200 or $150". I thanked her and told her it was too much. Imagine my surprise looking at Dr. Shirazian's website and seeing the following: Contact lens Exam Promotion $90 Only for Soft contact lenses Only for under -2.00 astigmatism Including 2 times follow up Regular price is $150 So the woman who answered the phone was going to charge me $100 more than regular price and $160 more than the special price!! I'm just so tired of unethical people who want to take advantage of others. read more

This was my first time in Mr. Shirazian's office. His office is well equipped. I was there for optometry. He examine my eyes by couple of devices and equipments he has and talk to me during this process. My eyes were Ok though, I had dizziness. I was quitting some medication and he told me that's the reason not my eyes. After I consulted with my primary doctor, he confirmed Dr. Shirazians's comment. Dr. Shirazian, not only he's expert in his job, but also he's so friendly! I mean, that's not all about science, but also connecting and making communication with the patient. I'm so satisfied by doctor Foad Shirazian and recommend him to all people with at least optometry need. read more

I had my first visit with Dr. Shirazian yesterday for an eye exam and it went better than anticipated. He is very graceful and attentive in his work. I appreciate him and his staff for a wonderful experience. Tip: make sure you understand what your insurance covers regarding optometry. I was unable to get a clear answer about whether my insurance would cover the $90 exam. I have LA Care and was prepared to pay the full amount. Thank you Dr. Shirazaian read more

My family and I have been coming to see Foad for years. He's very patient and conducts a thorough eye exam. Today I came in to get some information on contact lenses, since I have never tried them. Foad sat with me and went over the three different option, prices and everything else that goes along with it. When he put in my contacts for the first time I was very nervous and it took about four attempts but we finally got them in! He was very calm during the whole thing and made me feel very comfortable. Next was taking them out, and putting them back in myself.... Foad patiently walked me through it and took the time to make sure I understood exactly what I was doing. I left the office with amazing vision and feeling confident with my new contacts. read more

Dr. Shirazian is AMAZING! He's so humble and really took time to address any concerns that I had. My mother has Glaucoma and I'm always super anxious when I get an eye exam. He was so patient with me and was able to calm me down. He's very genuine and his staff is super friendly and welcoming as well. I got so lucky with finding a new optometrist, as I'm fairly new to the LA area. Thank you so much Dr. Shirazian for being you! You're awesome! read more

Once again Dr foad and his awesome team made it happen.I moved to Lancaster, CA which is a good distance away. Regardless I still have not found another optometrist who provides quality eye wear like Foad and his team. Zeiss lenses are the way to go if you have a strong prescription like eye do. They are able to ship me my glasses and contacts in a fast manner so I don't have to commute so much. Thank you as always you guys make it happen. read more

Best optometry experience! Staff is friendly, warm and relaxed! Good array of eye glass styles within your budget.

Dr. Shirazian and his staff are amazing! I visited this office for the first time this month. He and his team were all very knowledgeable and friendly. They have a great selection of glasses! The team was very patient and helped me pick the perfect pair of glasses. Thank you so much! read more

Friendly staff. Dr. S established a great rapport with me right away. Exceedingly chill, engaging, asks questions, good listener, excellent at breaking down what's going on with your eyes. I have Type II diabetes and it's affecting my eyesight. Dr. S was encouraging, supportive and caring. It's obvious that this man cares about his patients and provides the best care and treatment for them. I couldn't recommend his practice highly enough. read more

My daughter and I have received services from Dr Shirazian. Incredible doctor and staff.

Dr. Shirazian and his staff give 100% of their attention to you as a patient and makes you feel like family - a loved family member that is. LOL. Dr. Shirazian takes his time while performing his examinations for eyecare/wear. The often-time dreaded and/or confusing eye exam of " is 1 better than 2 or is 3 better than 1" is quite easily performed by Dr. Shirazian and relaxing. He doesn't rush you through the exam. If you have a question Dr. Shirazian will look you in the eye and answer any question or concern you may have. His staff is also wonderful with his patients. The Staff addresses your needs in a professional yet friendly way making them excellent examples of a good Dr. practice. The office is located in Tarzana Square off Reseda Blvd. and Ventura Blvd. and offers plenty of parking, a few restaurants, Vons and CVS, Gelson's, nail salons (Sandy's' Nail Salon- YEAH!), Pet Food Express, kosher deli bakery as well as other Physicians and Dentists. Dr. Shirazian office location is the perfect place for your eyes exam and to save time and energy for those last minute grocery or food order shopping. I hope you find this review helpful and visit Dr. Shirazian practice for your next eye care needs. read more

I have never felt more welcomed at a Dr.'s office before! Dr. Shirazian made me feel like I was getting my eyes checked by my best friend! After being greeted by the Dr. himself at the front door, we went through what we would be doing today as well as caught up on how everything has been since my last check up. Not to mention the extensive selection of glasses that are actually in style, going to Dr. Shirazian once will only make you want to keep coming back! To further supplement this review, I must add that Dr. Shirazian is by far the least pushy of all optometrists I've ever known and will go the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable and are getting the glasses/contacts that you want. In a world where every penny seemingly matters, it is nice to find a doctor that values happy returning patients over a quick buck. Thank you, Doctor, I can see clearly now the blur has gone! read more

All I can say is wow! The eye sight test took no longer than 5 min and Dr. Shirazian made it even more unnoticeable by chatting to me about my day as if we'd been friends for years. After the test, he showed me the selections of frames he had available for me and once I saw the one I liked, Dr. Shirazian went above and beyond to make sure I could get what I wanted even though it was a little out of my price range. To top all that off, when I came home that same day, one of my friends had a really irritated eye. I texted Dr. Shirazian and once again, he helped me find a solution even though he had no obligation. I would give 10 stars if I could. Keep doing what you're doing! read more

He is a very caring Dr. He is so patient and listens to what exactly you need and helps you to find the best match. Very professional and loving team. The store feels like home, and everyone is accommodating with what you want and need. Highly recommended read more

If I could give a million stars I would. Dr. Shirazian is the biggest sweetheart, and he does what is best for his patients, his staff were all so helpful and sweet as well. The best in the game and I would recommend him to everyone. His office is clean and beautiful, with a huge selection of glasses. He is thorough when doing the exam and makes sure you're feeling 10000% comfortable with your glasses and/or contacts before leaving the office. Thank you to the whole office, I couldn't be happier!!! read more

Dr. Shirazian is the best! Have not needed glasses since cataract surgery on both my eyes back in 2010, but have recently noticed difficulty when reading a book. Went in for a eye exam. Dr. Shirazian was so very kind and understanding. Genuinely interested in me as a person not just my eyes. Turned out my eyes were fine, but testing revealed I did need glasses for book reading and computer work, which I ordered. Was given a discount on my frames which was a pleasant surprise! Not only Dr. Shirazian but his whole staff are fantastic, going above and beyond to make sure your visit is top notch! Thank you so very much! Will be "seeing" you soon! :-) read more

Dr. Shirazian provides a wonderful care. I have been coming to Dr Shirazian for a several years and I am always welcomed and feel well cared for. Because of my super near sided vision coupled with aging eyes, I can not see far or near. Dr Shirazian crafts perfect monovision prescription for me. He is always super attentive and personable. I highly recommend this place for all your eye needs. read more

I am very happy and satisfied with the service every time I go there for an eye exam, Dr. Shirazian does a very thorough exam and Aidin always goes above and beyond to help with my Lenz and my frame. Patient and caring, I never leave without getting what I want, not just the glasses but every detail I need or want, would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good optometrist read more

Doctor Shirazian Ended my eye pain after 9 years. I did lasik 9 years ago. After surgery I had blurry vision with my right eye. The doctor who did surgery ignored my complaints and told me it would get better with time. I went to so many well known ophthalmologists who couldn't diagnose me and all ignored my symptoms. Today I came to Dr. Shirazian and he diagnosed my eye with minor astigmatism and ended 9 years of pain, fear and struggle. I'll appreciate you for the rest of my life. read more
