David Samimi, MD – Eyesthetica

I was referred to Dr Samimi for lumps on both my eyelids, known as Chalazions. Durning my first visit Dr Samimi took his time to explain what could be done, answering all my questions thoroughly. The treatment he recommended worked and the lumps disappeared.
During that first visit I noticed that he performed upper and lower eyelid surgery. This was something I had been thinking about doing for a long time. I asked hm about the surgery and again he took his time to answer all my questions and explain exactly what I could and could not expected from the surgery. Leaving his office I felt very confident about his skill to perform these surgeries. I later scheduled the surgery to be done. Post surgery Dr Samimi and his team followed up with me in the next few days to ensure I was healing and feeling good. The result, my eyes are beautiful, I could not be happier. I don’t feel I could have chosen a better, or kinder Doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Samimi.

i LOVE this guy! I’m thrilled and proud of the expert work that he did on my eyes. He was recommended to me a general practitioner who told me he wouldn’t think of having his eyes worked on by anyone other than Dr. Samimi. His kindness, patience, compassion, generosity and amazing surgical skills place him at the top of his field. If you (or a loved one) have any eye-​related issues you MUST make an appointment with Dr. Samimi. His friendly, wonderful assistant Gabby will take very good care of you.

Hello All,
Let me start off by saying I recommend Dr. Samimi for any of your needs regarding the eye/​eyelid. For a year plus I had a lump under both the top and bottom of my eyelid, which was known to be a chalazion. After strenuous research and the endless reading of reviews I decided to go with Dr. Samimi and his services. Upon arriving at his office I had to fill out the preliminary paper work but that was rather fast. But during this time I was greeted and made to feel comfortable and prepared and given a complimentary water. This was nice because usually at doctors offices you’re to get your own water, lol!
Dr. Samimi didn’t just jump into the operation but he took his time, engaged in conversation, and got to know me and I found that sincere. Once the procedure started he assured me of the pleasantness and not to worry. Before I knew it I was done. Although, I was paying cash for my procedure, I didn’t have all of it on me at the time – he/​his secretary allowed me to pay later – more so on an honor system. They didn’t contract me into a promise-​to-​pay clause. They gave me however much time I needed, which I thought was rather cool. Usually doctors want their money before even seeing you, so this says a lot about Dr. Samimi and his staff. Great guy and he definitely knows what he is going.
Also, so you Unilocal readers won’t think this is some type of structured post. Dr. Samimi has a secretary and she is fine as f…(I won’t say it)! But she’s a very pretty young lady, lol! Great day Unilocalers!!!

Truely impressed and happy with my experience as one of Dr. Samimi’s patients. I was referred to Dr. Samimi by my Optometrist and I dont think I could have found a better doctor. I had an eyelid cyst that needed removal and was admittedly nervous about the procedure. I left Dr. Samimi’s office shocked at how quick and painless he made the surgery. Furthermore, the residual effects of the procedure have been so minimal that my friends and co-​workers cant even tell I had anything done. He is friendly, extremely professional, and very informative. I will recommend him to everyone I know. I’d give 10 stars if I could.

I am using my daughter’s Unilocal account to do this review as I do not have a Unilocal account but I wanted to be sure people knew how Ana in my experience was with Dr. Samimi… This was a great experience for me! I had to have my eyelids done. They were obstructing my vision and honestly affecting my self esteem. I was so nervous to have this done and of course nervous about my results. Doctor Samimi made me feel like we were friends and each time I visited him he asked me questions about my family and he remembered things about me that I forgot I shared. I am so happy with my results. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering surgery of any kind. He made it easy and comfortable and I cannot wait to put mascara on my eyelashes that I haven’t seen in 20 years!!! Thanks to Dr Samimi I can see again and when I look in the mirror I like that I don’t look sleepy but instead awake and ready to live life! Thank you Dr. Samimi.

When I was 28 I realized my right eye lid was starting to droop due to a weak eye lid muscle. As I got older the worse it got until it was covering about 30% of my vision and was a– symmetrical looking. My lid was heavy and it was uncomfortable. Make-​up couldn’t hide it, fake lashes didn’t do anything other then draw more attention to the problem… I was at a loss! I didn’t know what to do!
The way it looked was not only affecting my vision but it was affecting my self confidence. My eyes which are green and bright used to be my favorite quality about myself, other then my charming personality, however after the drooping became obvious I tended to hide behind sunglasses a lot or over do make up etc. I was also constantly making squinting faces or lifting my eye brow on the right side to see better or to give the illusion that my eyes were symmetrical. Truth is, it was embarrassing! I even had a random guy tell me it looked like I had a lazy eye. Something needed to be done!!!
After consulting with three different doctors over a period of a year and a half I chose the highly recommended Dr. David Samimi and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Samimi was very patient with me and went over everything in detail including the possible out comes, he had incredible bed side manners and was very refreshing to talk to! I felt comfortable and at ease especially once the surgery began, and it was not just because I was under anesthesia! I knew that Dr. Samimi knew what he was doing and I was in good hands, literally!
After the surgery, I was well taken care of, the nurse from the surgery center called me to check in with me as did Dr. Samimi! It was a good feeling knowing they cared for me and my well being. I was not in any pain or discomfort. Sleeping was a little challenging but otherwise the recovery was very easy! I had the surgery on a Friday and was back at work on a Monday. I was a little anxious though and nervous of how it would turn out once healed. I emailed Dr. Samimi a few times with some silly questions, I’m sure, and he was incredibly kind, understanding and patient with me. He took the time to answer everything and was very thorough.
The more days that past the better I looked and the better I started to feel… The picture that I posted is only one month after the surgery and I look even better now, which is almost the 3 month mark.
Every morning I wake up now I look in the mirror and I thank god for bringing me to Dr. Samimi and for such a life changing surgery. It might sound small or shallow or whatever you may think but when you aren’t seeing well, uncomfortable and don’t feel good about how you look it effects everything! It’s like a snow ball effect.
Now thanks to Dr. Samimi my eyes are back to being the main focus of my face and I have returned to being a very confident person!!! I couldn’t have chosen a better doctor for this surgery!!! Thank you Dr. Samimi!!!

Highest praise for this caring, knowledge, and personable Dr.
He was really helpful with my father and his bony growth on his lower eyelid.

Dr. Samimi is amazing! I was referred to him only by chance, & I will never trust another eyelid specialist! I was seen by another before I went to him, and wasn’t really explained much. Dr. Samimi has great bed side manner and profssional. He takes his time with every patient, you never feel rushed. Great at answering any questions you have. And I have probably asked some pretty ridiculous ones. Lol.
I went to him with an orbital tumor in my left eye. It was obvious to him that it was growing. He gave me a few options, but really wanted it out, it was already causing me other issues and problems. I was extremely nervous and scared to have a ugly scar on my face, but he did an amzing job! He made sure to go along my eyelid to hide it. Now 2month post-​op and the scar is almost nonexistent! It’s not at all noticible to anyone who is unaware that I had surgery! My eyes look so much more symetrical compared to pre-​op. I would definitely 100% recommend him for anyone seeking an eyelid specialist!

Dr Samimi is a fantastic doctor!!! His staff is also wonderful.
Dr Samimi intently focuses on your needs and is an excellent listener and extremely attentive to his patients. I would highly recommend him as an ophthalmologist of first choice in Encino and the Southern California area:)

Dr. Samimi is the best. I do not usually write reviews. However this is the best experience that I have ever had with a doctor. I went to see Dr. Samimi for the removal of a chalazion because I first went to the doctor that was approved by my insurance and after 5 different appoints and surgery that doctor left half of the chalazion on my lid and some scaring. I did not trust going back to him because the lesion was on the crease of my lid.
I found Samimi on Unilocal and although he was not covered under my insurance I still went for a consult because I wanted the chalazion removed correctly. To my surprise his prices even out of pocket are very reasonable and I paid cash to have the chalazion removed at the consult. He was great even right after the surgery with my eye swollen the chalazion was gone for good. He took his time to make sure that the chalazion not only completely removed but aesthetically matched the other eye with no scaring. It’s been a little over a month and my lid is completely healed with no scaring and I could not be happier. I will never trust any other doctor with my eyes besides Samimi. If your looking for the best Eye lid specialist I would not hesitate to go here. Even if he does not take your insurance please go for a consult and let him give you options because I paid the same for my one time removal as I paid in co-​pays to my insures for going to the other doctor 5 times.

I am so glad that I went to see Dr. Samimi! I had Moh’s to have skin cancer removed from the bridge of my nose and my dermatologist suggested I see Dr. Samimi to do the closure. I was hesitant because I was hoping I’d be able to allow the wound to close on its own, but going to Dr. Samimi was absolutely the right decision. The office staff was nice, friendly and efficient. And Dr. Samimi is warm and welcoming. He took time to get to know me in the consultation-​which seems to be a rare thing these days! Throughout the procedure, which took about an hour, Dr. Samimi and I had a great conversation. His relaxed demeanor and clear intention of making sure that I was comfortable really did create the perfect environment for the procedure. As far as the surgical site post-​surgery– it looks AMAZING! Dr. Samimi’s attention to detail is evident and his skills are top-​notch. If you’re in need of any type of plastic surgery around your eyes or nose, I highly recommend Dr. Samimi.
