Soroudi Advanced Lasik & Eye Centers

The eye care provided is good. But the 2 star rating is due to the average wait time of 3 hours or more. I have brought my friend her several times and the waits are horrendous. For example we have already waited over two hours for today’s appointment. Our longest wait was around 5 hours. The shortest probably 30 minutes.

I met dr. Ebbie when I needed him the most. I had a very very very bad huge eye-​stye. One side of my face was swollen.
One of my friends recommended me to him. I needed to get rid of this huge ugly stye asap. I was able to make an emergency appt with Dr. Ebbie. Dr. Ebbie got rid of my stye with an incision (not sure the proper medical term for this) I had a quick recovery, quicker than expected. Dr. Ebbie is extremely knowledgable, has amazing energy and is extremely thorough with his patients. Not only that, but his staff is super caring, understanding and friendly.
I’ve made couple emergency visits, and Dr. Ebbie has always been available. This is somethings that I admire and am thankful for.
Wait time is average, just like any other popular doctor’s office. Considering the fact that you are getting thorough care, little bit of wait is worth your health. And quite honestly even my emergency appointments didn’t take too much waiting around.

I was operated by Dr. Soroudi last week for wavefront custom Z Lasik. I can’t say enough about how perfect my experience was. Everyone was super friendly and attentive, they treated me so well. Dr. Soroudi is the best, he explained everything for me in details and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My procedure was done in less than 15 minutes and it was the best experience. I had a great healing process, had no pain after surgery. Thank you Dr. Soroudi for giving my perfect vision back.

Dr. Soroudi was recommended to me by a friend. I began having trouble seeing up close but wanted to avoid reading glasses. During the initial consultation, very thorough testing was conducted to determine if the optimal solution for me. Monovision was suggested and I ended up booking my custom wavefront zLasik appointment.
A week later, I returned for the procedure. Despite the thorough testing conducted the during the initial appointment, Dr. Soroudi personally repeated most of the tests to make sure any changes in vision/​eye health that may have occurred during that week were accounted for.
Dr. Soroudi is very knowledgable, meticulous about the slightest details, and has an excellent sense of humor. The surgery itself was quick and relatively painless with moderate discomfort for the 2 hours following surgery (correcting farsightedness involves more reshaping than is needed to optimize distance vision, so my discomfort was a bit worse — however, a nap took care of it and I woke up feeling much better). Knowing that you are being treated by a highly skilled and experienced surgeon working with the most advanced equipment available definitely puts your mind at ease.
I was also happy that all eyedrops required post op were provided at the clinic — the last thing you want to do is run around pharmacies and waiting for prescriptions to be filled.
Its been 7 days since my surgery and everything is looking great — my near vision is 20/​20, and while i’m still trying to adjust to Monovision, its getting better every day. I highly recommend Dr. Soroudi. You won’t go wrong!

Dr. Soroudi is a «Houdini.“my vision is ²⁰⁄₁₅ in 1 day after surgery. I highly recommend this Doctor.

I’m beyond satisfy with the service and care of Dr. Soroudi and staff. Highly recommend this wonderful Doctor he is amazing and very knowledgeable! I thank god for finding him him. Thank you Dr. Soroudi for returning my ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision and counting!

If you want to throw away your glasses and/​or contact lenses, look no further!!! I spent a lot of time looking for the best doctor and I finally found Dr. Soroudi! So I decided to schedule my free consultation. I could barely see without glasses/​contacts and I went for my consultation yesterday. We arrived earlier (by an hr) and we had almost no wait time!!! Everyone we interacted throughout the day (I wish I remembered everyone’s name) was very kind, pleasant and helpful. After they measure your corneal thickness, refractive error, and run other tests, Dr. Soroudi explains the procedure to you and verifies whether you are a GOOD candidate for LASIK. He does other procedures of course, but that’s what I went for and qualified for. He makes sure that you’re a good candidate before proceeding. I should emphasize that at NO point did we feel pressured to go with any procedure.
Then we talked with their financial counselor. At that point, my father and I felt pretty comfortable and decided to get it done the same day. Again no waiting time for the LASIK itself. So I got it done actually the same day as my consultation. Before the procedure they will give you an anti-​anxiety med (I believe it was Xanax). He used Ziemer (better than intralase) for the femtosecond laser (to create the flap) and excimer for the laser treatment itself. My corneal thickness was still in a healthy range after the treatment. The good thing about the procedure itself is it’s fairly quick and he walks you through. I was fairly relaxed. Right after the procedure, you see a lot better (of course you need to go home, rest and take good care of your eyes if you want the best outcomes).
The day after the procedure, I went for the first follow-​up and again almost no wait. I could see ²⁰⁄₁₅ just a day after! So I was pretty happy and surprised. Also forgot to mention this: he’s a very pleasant, ethical, friendly and humble doctor for how knowledgeable he is! I would rate him more than 5 stars if I could!!! Also, for his amazing job, the cost is VERY reasonable!
I’m starting medical school soon and I was worried about the possibility of not being able to become a surgeon in future but these worries all went away during consultation. He has done successful LASIK on med students and surgeons. So do NOT worry!!!
Just some good tips:
Follow the post-​op instructions word-​by-​word.
If you smell Kabab outside his office, follow the smell and go eat Kabab (I’ll do it for my next follow-​up but I know it’s out there waiting for me).
Get the medications from his office to make your life easier.
Enjoy your new eyes and take good care of them.
If you want to go with the procedure the same day as your consultation, go to his Santa Monica office.

Dr. Soroudi did a great job. He encountered a very difficult case and skillfully restored a significant portion of my grandfather’s vision. My grandfather had advanced bilateral cataracts and was practically blind. Regardless of the severity of the case and consideration that my grandfather was very elderly (almost 90 years old), he was very meticulous and managed to remove the cataracts. It really puts a smile on your face when a medical professional can really change someone’s life. Now my grandfather’s darkness is replaced with light and it truly is amazing. Although vision was not fully restored, it is understandable due to the nature and severity of the condition. I am overall satisfied with the quality of work and results, and admit he has very good hand dexterity.
Thanks for help Dr. Soroudi.

This doctor can do miracles. He has the knowledge and the technology to make your eyes and vision the best. We traveled from Sacramento to Los Angeles to do it and he fixed my sons eyes and now he can see without glasses where in Sacramento his eye doctor told my son that nothing would help him. Trust your eyes to Doctor Surudi if you want to see perfect.

I had my custom monovision wavefront Lasik surgery done by Dr. Soroudi last October 2015. I was referred by a co-​worker who also got the Lasik procedure. The whole process was easy even the financial aspect of it. The whole procedure lasted about 15 minutes, went home, slept through the night, and woke up amazed that I could see without my contact lenses. My follow-​up appointments are great even if I have to have a few minutes because the waiting room is usually packed. They office staff are usually very accommodating especially when I tell them that I’m only on a lunch break and need to go back to work.
It has been about 4 months and I am so happy with my vision! I had been wearing glasses and contact lens since I was 9 years old and I never thought I would ever see the day that I will have ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision. Yep that’s right, ²⁰⁄₁₅! My vision was so bad (very high prescription with severe astigmatism). I had my follow-​up appointment today with Dr. Soroudi and my vision is perfect! He saw me in the waiting room and took me in himself because all his assistants were busy with other patients. I love that he is so considerate of everyone’s busy schedule. I’m a nurse and it is rare to see a physician/​surgeon to have such an excellent «bedside» manner! He even gave me his own cell number so I could call/​text him if I have any problems with my eyes and he does respond right away!
Thank you Dr. Soroudi and staff for the gift of vision!

Bravo!!! Yesterday I had custom monovision wavefront lasik in both eyes to treat nearsightedness. After only one day I can see very clearly from a far and can read small print from a little distance. My reading vision should improve as my eyes heal but for one day of healing it looks really good. I read about people not adapting to monovision very well but I have no issues with the differences in the vision. There is no depth perception issues and any slight glares I have right now are due to the eyes still healing.
Dr. Soroudi and staff are very warm and friendly making the process much easier. The surgery wasn’t as scary as it seems it would be and is done very quickly. The laser cutting of the eye and pealing back/​replacing the cornea flap was actually kind of cool to watch. I felt no discomfort during the procedure only slight burning and tearing afterwards which quickly goes away. After a long night of rest I woke up to very clear vision which will only getting better as the eyes heal. I can’t wait to see the full result but I am very happy that contacts and glasses are a thing of the past!
Thank you Dr. Soroudi and staff and your excellent care!
Sincerely,
Laura M.

Wait or no way, this is the best Eye Center in the world! Dr. Soroudi is a master of his trade, and he treats every single patient with complete respect, answers all of their million questions with complete patience, shows videos, and always has a smile on his face. On top of that, he delivers results that are un parallelled. I could not be happier with my service and my results, and I cannot recommend anyone better than him for such a delicate procedure and important organ. My wife and my entire family have been his patients and we all love him dearly.

Dr. Soroudi is amazing! He has performed eye surgery (LASIK, Cataract) on my grandma, dad and I and we all are extremely satisfied with the outcome! He is a incredible Doctor. He takes time listening to your concerns and doesn’t rush your time with him. He is very professional ‚
Attentive and caring. Love the treatment we get when we enter his office! His staff is very respectful and kind. He is the man to go to if you have any concerns regarding your eyes!

Too much waiting!
He’s a good guy, but it’s the 2^nd time we’re here for the procedure, and it’s not good for a professional with lots of experience.
We must wait at least 1 hour before seeing the doctor which is so annoying!

The doctor and the staff at this office are incredible! I have recommended Dr. Soroudi to all my friends and family! Their office is extremely modern, they have the best equipment, and they really care about people. There is a short wait, but that is worth it. I’d rather go to a Doctor Who is busy than someone who has a two minute wait time…

Dr. Soroudi is the best! He is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable about the procedures you are doing. Can’t recommend his office enough!

Excellent experience with Dr. Soroudi. Really state of the art technology supported with awesome staff and amazing patient care. The best in LA and the one to go to for eye lasik surgery. Make your appointment today!

I’m updating my review to 4 stars since the doctor messaged me. However I hope they do something to address the wait times. I am not the only one who has experienced this.
Like I said before, this review has nothing to do with my operation or results. I am happy with my Lasik operation and Dr. Saroudi. (See first review for details).

Before the surgery and I never believed any doctor can help me correct it, i had –16 on both eyes. You know what, Doctor. Soroudi effectively deliver the results. Now I awakened daily each morning satisfied and never have to invest a great deal time on wearing the difficult contacts which have been a part of my program over the past thirty years. I strongly suggest a person with severe higher prescribed like my own to find out talk to Doctor. Soroudi ’ s workplace. — from Ken C

I’ve visited different specialists to resolve my eye problem about 4 years ago but got disappointed by having noticed that no operation will be done on my eyes for their lack of equipment but luckily about a month ago I went to Dr. Soroudi Lasik centre and I was totally impressed by their top notch, state of art equipment and also the very warm & attentive staff.
Although I have been advised not to go for Lasik operation previously but Dr. Soroudi obliged me to do so and within less than 10 minutes my eyes repaired. they have a genius concern about every single of their patients and I’m truly impressed by their job.
Not only the specialists are fully mastered but also every single staff is attentive and pleasant.
I’m really thankful for Dr. Zokaeim follow ups even I was busy with daily life but she was so kind and attentive.
Thank you Dr. Soroudi & Dr. Zokaeim!
Sincerely,
John Elkhani

I called Dr. Soroudi’s office for a consultation. The receptionist said I can come for the consultation, and if I am a candidate, I can have the procedure done that same day. I arrived the day off appointment early, they got me in early. I went through the whole process of seeing if I am a candidate, within the hour I had my surgery. This staff is amazing! Everyone in this office does such a great job making you feel comfortable.
Dr. Soroudi is so personable, you really feel comfortable asking questions. I really felt like I was in good hands. The procedure went great, I am so glad I went to this place for my lasik procedure.
I just had my follow up apointment today, they got me in and done quickly. They really respect peoples time. I would definatly recomend this place to anyone.

My sister had her zLASIK done with Dr. Soroudi and we are thrilled about the results. She could see clearly right after the surgery. That’s amazing! Dr. Soroudi and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The office has a very relaxing spa feeling and even coffee and tea available in the reception area. Strongly recommend!

My grandmother has been seeing the same eye doctor for eons, and has recently had an issue with her sight that her current eye doctor has not been able to resolve. My aunt and I had been trying to get her to seek a second opinion, but her fierce loyalty to her current doctor caused her to put up a wall to our requests. Finally, after numerous visits to her current doctor that led to no resolution, she finally caved in.
My aunt had heard Dr. Soroudi’s commercials and decided to make an appointment for my grandmother. The first available appointment to see Dr. Soroudi wasn’t available for about another month. Unfortunately, my grandmothers ailment was regressing by the day. I decided to call Dr. Soroudi’s office myself to see if they could get her in sooner since her condition was regressing. The lovely and polite Bahareh obliged, and we were able to see the Doc much sooner.
From the minute we walked in, his staff was very attentive and warm. When we got to see Dr. Soroudi, we were very impressed, both myself and my grandmother, by his bedside manor and genuine concern. After a number of exams, one of which her other doctor completely overlooked, Dr. Soroudi determined we had to see a neuro specialist. Within a few days, we discovered that my grandmother had a tumor that had been affecting her peripheral vision. The other doctor she had been seeing overlooked a simple test that would have illustrated this. Mind you, we saw him numerous times. Dr. Soroudi got to the root of her ailment within ONE visit. If it wasn’t for Dr. Soroudi, my grandmother would be in big trouble. You are truly an angel, Doctor Soroudi. I will be scheduling an appointment for a checkup of my own eyes. Dr. Soroudi is truly one of a kind. He has a genuine concern for his patients and has a bedside manor that is second to none. Thank you, Doctor Soroudi!!!

It has been about three and a half years since getting LASIK and I still think it’s the best money I ever spent. My eyesight has declined a bit — I can’t read street signs very well, my low light vision isn’t very good at all, and I do see starbursts and halos at night making it a little scary to drive late. However, I still don’t need corrective lenses, so that’s a big win for me. I have removed one star for the vision difficulties since I thought the Wavefront was supposed to help me not have these issues. I hope my eyesight doesn’t continue to decline, but I can definitely live with where it’s at now!

After much research I decided to go with Dr. Soroudi to perform my LASIK. I am so thankful I did! I know have ²⁰⁄₁₀! The staff is very pleasant and knowledgable. Dr. Soroudi is by far the coolest and best ophthalmologist I have come across and I’ve seen quite a few. Lol if you are thinking about LASIK, then definitely go with him. He believes in his equipment and his staff believes in him!

Unilocal has Dr. Soroudi listed as an Ophthalmologist, but it might as well say magician.
I walked in nearsighted ~negative 6 in each eye, and walked out with ²⁰⁄₁₅ vision. The procedure was quick and painless, and took about 5 minutes per eye. I’m now in my 2^nd month post-​Lasik with no complications, and loving every minute. I don’t remember the last time I took a nap without waking up to a contact lens suctioned to my eye, its a beautiful thing. Thanks to Dr Soroudi and his staff for changing my life!
ProTip — Grab some kabob’s nearby in Little Persia and ice cream at Saffron & Rose after one of your appointments

Dr. Soroudi is the man with the golden hands. He changed my life in only 10 minutes. Being able to see everything clearly without wearing contacts or glasses is the best thing in the entire world!
Although I was a really dramatic patient, Dr. Soroudi and his team acted like a family and tried to calm me down. I was the last patient for the day and I was crying the whole time because I was scared. Ms Rina, the office administrator, came with me into the OP room because she wanted to calm me down and my mom was to scared to come with me and see how they would laser my eyes. When I met Dr. Soroudi in the OP room, he was so calming and tried to make the situation better with joking and being super friendly. I just listened to him the whole time and than before I realized it, the LASIK was done and he told me that my life would change.
I’m so proud of myself that I did it and chose Dr. Soroudi and his team! Thanks again for the angel Rina who was taking care of me on that day, the rest of Dr. Soroudi’s team for calming me down and especially Dr. Soroudi. People like him, with golden hands, should always be on our earth. He is a life changer. LIFE CHANGER. I wish him and his family the best and I know that he will change many many many more lives on this earth.
Merci Dr. Soroudi

My grandmother and my aunt had eye surgery at this place. This place is the best. I totally recommend it to every one. Dr soroudi’s job is so neat and quick. His attitude is very unique. He is very knowledgeable, positive and friendly. You wont feel stressed at all. My grandmother kept seeing other doctors and they could not find out what is her problem, then we read the reviews here and decided to come for a visit. He figured her problem out real fast and now she has no issues with her vision. Also my aunt had lasik eye surgery which she was almost blind, now she sees clearly.
The staff is also awesome. You wont regret your experience here.

I Want to say His hand is magic
After he did lazic to my eyes I can see the world colorful, for sure i recomend to my other friends come to Dr sorodi for any eyes problem, Thank you so much Dr Sorodi

I recently went for my one year and final check-​up since getting LASIK and my vision is outstanding. I have not had any issues with my eyes since having my procedure done.
My most recent visit was at the Encino location and this office is just as good, and as busy, as the Westwood location. I met with Dr. Soroudi during each follow-​up visit and it’s evident he enjoys his practice, and it’s clearly evident he’s great at it. I would not trust my vision with anyone and I’m very grateful I chose to have LASIK done with Dr. Soroudi.

LASIK has been something on my list of things to do but fear had held me back until I had my initial consultation with Dr Soroudi who explained the procedure to me fully in a comforting way.
I went ahead with the surgery immediately and the whole process from I walked into the office till when I walked out took under an 1hr.
Post care explanations were sound and the same evening of my surgery I was out with friends with great, unadulterated vision.
The next day was a Saturday and Dr Soroudi came in only for my follow up examination and I was extremely late. Dr Soroudi was gracious enough to not only wait for me but called me until I awoke even though he was missing out on precious time with his new born baby.
My exam results showed I now had better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision in both eyes. My eyes were –2.50 in both eyes before. It’s been 5 days after my surgery now and my vision continues to get better — at this rate I’ll have x-​ray vision by weekend!
I fully endorse Soroudi Advance LASIK &Eye Center. I’m very thankful to them for liberating me from all vision aids!
