Ferzaad Moosa, MD

this is turning into a horror story for me. I had lasik done by dr moosa when i was 18. i was happy at that point with a great ton of resect for him. But now my horror story unfolds. when i was 24 my vision began to deteriorate so i went in to go see him. He looked at my eyes and suggested i wait 6 more months before surgery. something seemed fishy, but i took his advice. Its been 2 years now and everytime i call or try to get an appointment its the same story. «im getting new better machinery. 6 more months!!» He is clearly giving me the run around. I HOPE he did not ruin my eyes. I dont really have crazy sides besides the very dry eyes you get from having lasik. but thats expected. But he is clearly trying to avoid me and my eyes. This makes me question his integrity. As a doctor who has perfmored surgery on my EYES, he should be there for me and follow through. Do i not deserve better than this? Im EXTREMELY disappointed right now. These are my EYES guys. this is not some kind of joke… i use my eyes to see the world. I have lost all my respect for this man. If anything positive comes out of this i will glady repost here. but until then i am a very very unhappy customer. I waited 2 years to post here because i wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt because i honestly really did like him at first. but this is pretty obvious now. Im just really concerned now as to why he has been avoiding treating me and beating around the bush. Will get my eyes checked by a different doc to see if any permanent harm has been done. but for now, please think twice guys.
Ps. I really wish I didn’t have to post this review. I would have preferred not to. But enough is enough now.

I had my PRK surgery a month & a ½ ago & it is the BEST thing I have ever done for myself. Dr, Moosa & Dr Arin & the staff there are incredibly nice and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable every step of the way.
Dr. Moosa is simply the best. No reason to even check out any other place.
A month later my vision is ²⁰⁄₂₀ & I couldn’t be happier.

I had LASIK eye surgery done from Dr. Moosa 13 years ago. My prescription back then was –5.75, both eyes.
Last year was my first eye exam and he was impressed at how long my excellent vision has lasted without touch up surgery or glasses.
My prescription is now a –1. My optometrist said I don’t really need to wear my glasses… maybe just for night driving. Whenever I feel I need it.
Thank you, Dr. Moosa and staff, for making me feel comfortable throughout the process and I attest to how wonderful your practice is.

I had my LASIK surgery done last Saturday, great ophthalmologist.

Great staff, great service, and great doctor! The lasik procedure was fast and easy. They also set me up with follow ups after 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months, and then 3 months just to ensure that the procedure was effective.
After my last semester of law school and the bar exam, my eye prescription had jumped 1.0 entire point within 11 months and I had terrible astigmatism. I decided to get lasik and it was the best decision I’ve ever had. While my vision still slightly blurs sometimes due to dryness, it has been life changing not to have to wear glasses or contacts. I definitely recommend Dr Moosa and the rest of his staff. In fact, I recommended one of my best friends and she is also getting lasik done here next week :)

I had my operation 10÷7÷11. I was nervous but everything went as they said it would. Painless and I went from –3.75 to ²⁰⁄₁₀. Threw my contacts and glasses away the same day as my operation!

I got my lasik done a month ago on a Saturday in Encino. The process was smooth, and the price was right after I got a discount through LivingSocial. The staff were friendly, and the first eye doctor spent a lot of time answering my questions during the consultation. By the time I met Dr. Moosa on the day of the surgery, I didn’t have any questions, but he seemed friendly. I was terrified, but the procedure didn’t even hurt at all. I slept the entire day because it was tough for me to keep my eyes open, but the next day I saw great.
Overall, great experience, and I would recommend Excel Laser to anyone.

Staff is amazing! They make you feel comfortable, work with you financially and the process is so smooth and quick. Vision was great after,
Now it’s a little blurry but I got the surgery done when I was 19 so I can’t complain

Absolutely fantastic place. Extremely courteous, informative, and professional staff. I had 3 consultations elsewhere in Los Angeles, and I’m happy I decided to go with Excel. Would definitely recommend it! From –4.75 to ²⁰⁄₁₅ in both eyes. One of the best decisions I’ve made was to get my lasik here!

My uncle (mom’s brother) just got his LASIK done today. He came all the way from San Diego to Encino for the procedure. Not only is he glasses free but he has stopped squinting (which my family had always noticed). Dr. Moosa is sincere and genuine. He gave my family the best deal! He is the BEST!

Got Lasik 3 weeks ago and it’s a modern day miracle!

I would highly recommend this office and Dr Moosa to anyone I know including family and friends. I got my LASIK surgery done 4 days ago and my vision is 20÷15− Before the surgery was ²⁰⁄₄₀₀! My vision is so clear and it gets btter with each and every day. They gave me an amazing deal and it couldn’t be more affordable. I think the best part was how comforting Dr. Moosa was during my surgery (which lasted a whole 6 minutes). I was SO nervous and he talked to me through the whole thing, and told me what a good job I was doing and how great the procedure was going. Definintely check this place out– The consultation is 100% free so you can’t go wrong. Lasik was the best decision I’ve made!

WOW!
I love my new vision!
Dr. Moosa and his staff are amazing!
I contemplated writing a long and thorough review, but who has the time or patience to read that?!
The Lasik procedure with Dr. Moosa was quick, painless, and effective.
The staff was always courteous, professional, and warm.
The price was competitive, but what’s more important was the quality of work; my vision is excellent now (better than ²⁰⁄₂₀) and I’ve had no negative side effects since the surgery in May 2013.
Thanks Dr. Mossa and Staff!

EXCELLENT Doctor. I got my lasik done in the Brea location. I had an astigmatism so I got the custom lasik procedure and see ²⁰⁄₁₅! Even better! The recovery was very quick. It didn’t last longer than 5 minutes. Of course, I hate anything that comes close to my eyes but the entire team was thorough, efficient and careful.
Had some white halos for about a week and a little dryness for about a month. Everything is back to normal and I can see!!! Love love love it.
I would do it again if I had to. My experience was 5 stars. I am loving and enjoying my new vision.

The staff was very helpful and welcoming. They made sure I understood the process and called to ensure I healed properly. They gave me the opportunity to see without glasses and that is priceless!!!

In rating my experience with Dr. Moosa, his staff and the entire process of the laser vision correction treatment I undoubtedly give it a 5 out of 5. Everyone was so helpful and courteous, I actually looked forward to my appointments :) I have enjoyed being able to see again and laser vision correction was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I would definitely recommend Dr. Moosa to anyone!

I did my Lasik Surgery with Dr. Moosa 4 years ago now with Dr. Moosa and have had absolutely no trouble! Dr. Moosa and his surgery staff were so welcoming and comforting that when I had any questions they were willing to answer. The Lasik procedure was explained to me, and Dr. Moosa’s staff was efficient in running through the preliminary tests beforehand. It was such a breeze that I recommend Dr. Moosa to all of my friends, family, and coworkers.
I was so amazed when I got out of surgery and could see immediately! Dr. Moosa really knows what he’s doing. When I came back the next day for my post-​op check up, I could read the letters on the wall perfectly well. He is great at his profession and his staff is really friendly!

It’s been two years now since my Lasik. I still battle with dry eyes. My problem is mostly with the right eye now. It feels heavy and dim most of the time. The vision varies depending on dryness.
Close up vision is spot on (ie: computer use and reading)!! But my distance is not so great (ie: driving, TV viewing, hiking). VERY blurry. I went from double ghosting to triple ghosting (also known as shadowing — a faint outline of the image is just off so it looks like a shadow) especially with street lights. In the distance I see a triangle of green lights and the triangle gets smaller and smaller as I approach the light. It finally gets to be only one at around 20 feet.
When I returned for followup a year later I was reminded about the dry eyes and told to continue using drops. I’ve tried many many many drops and even a sample of this rice-​like pellet that is placed in the eyelid to no avail. All products to wet the eyes only make it worse… they feel much more dry no matter how often I use them! weird.
Not sure what to think. The doctor and staff are super nice but vision is still not where I wanted it to be. Like I said, close vision is great! but distance is disappointing. I wish there was something that could help with the dryness. (not interested in lacrimal plugs)

I recently made the impulsive decision to go ahead and get Lasik while I was taking off some time from exercising anyway. (That probably sounds weird, but was totally the logic.) I’d heard of Dr. Moosa on the radio, and there was a Living Social deal for Lasik that put it into my price range. After looking into who’d had procedures done with him, and other reviews, I decided it was a good deal with a quality surgeon (Harvard isn’t too fast and loose with the Doctors…) Because of my extreme myopia, I decided to pay the extra grand for the upgrade, since, while the normal laser would be a guaranteed 20/​20, the upgrade would just be a little bit nicer, and probably better night vision, since it has a second laser that smooths out the surface of the eye and makes things that much clearer. (I figured I’d only do this once, so it was worth going for it.)
I’d set aside $ 2500 for Lasik YEARS ago, but my eyes had not normalized, so with the upgrade, I was actually only paying $ 200 more to get the best current laser on the market, so I think that’s a pretty awesome deal (normally is twice as much).
It’s been two weeks, and I had no problems, could see once I got home and got up from my nap to put in my eyedrops! They give you a xanax so you can freak out less during the procedure, which honestly can’t even have taken a full ten minutes. It’s sort of just like a very intense laser lightshow and suddenly you’re allowed to leave. 2 weeks later, I forget I ever had it done. I think I’m around 20/​20, maybe better… and no issues whatsoever with night vision, that’s perfectly clear.
The best part is that I get free eye exams for life, included in the cost of my procedure, so I can stop in just to check for cataracts and all that jazz for free. Pretty great policy, shows real care for the patients.
I feel like they heard and responded to the negative complaints, because I had nothing but a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and professional, and I felt very informed and not pressured into any decisions I made.

Dr. Moosa did both of my sisters’ Lasik procedures, so it was only right that I would head over to Excel as well when my time came.
Dr. Moosa and his wonderful staff makes getting Lasik SO easy. Being that I live in NorCal for school, I only had one week to get the surgery and my follow-​ups before heading back.
After around 45 minutes of consultation procedures, millions of eye drops, as well as staring at various lights, hot air balloons, and even the Dr.‘s ears (I was told to do this, i swear), I was cleared for the procedure and elected to have it that very day.
Then came millions of more eye drops and finally the «surgery». It was quick, easy, and painless. Dr. Moosa talks you through the whole thing.
Post-​surgery, my eyes got very dry and felt like I had an eyelash in them, but that went away within a week. I’m a wuss when it comes to my eyes, so I even called in during one of my spaz-​attacks. I actually was put through to a Dr. who took his time to hear my concerns, what I was feeling and letting me know that it was all normal.
I still have a little haloing as well as dry eyes (very slight), but I can FEEL my vision getting better by the day as my eyes heal.
I would definitely recommend coming into Excel for your Lasik procedure!
