Tayani Institute

not a fan of this place at all. I went in for a routine check of my body with an appointment and waited over 1.5 hours to be seen! The receptionist kept telling me the doctor was coming out. The doctor only saw me for a total of 7 mins. and wasn’t very thorough either. I won’t be going back and told them I would not pay their ridiculous fee they charge with insurance mind you. Your better off going else where for a dermatologist.

2 thumbs down — Not Recommended for laser hair removal
Instead go to… A. John Vartanian, M.D. if your skin tone is anything short of white.
— I paid for 2 full packages of 8 sessions each package for laser hair removal treatment at Tayani Institute back in 2009 — 2011.
— I went to every single 6 week interval session on time. Never missed a session.
— I always came properly prepped.
— By the end of the both packages of sessions I believe the level of the laser was up to 7.5−8.
— The only reason I had paid for 2 full packages is because I was not satisfied with the results of the first package of sessions.
NOTES:
— I have very light olive colored skin tone, not even near «dark skinned».
— I have dark brown, normal thickness hair.
— To begin with, I already have very little hair as compared to other ethnicities.
RESULTS
— ARM PIT already had almost no hair — yet results are that I still have at least 3 hairs under each arm that still grow out very dark and ½in. (that’s it’s normal length), if allowed to.
**BIKINI is where my biggest gripe is.
-!!!I paid thousands of dollars + gas + 72 weeks of my life driving to Mission Viejo just to save myself the time down the line, over the course of 50+ more years to not have to deal with shaving/​waxing bikini — yet results are still questionable whether or not I even had this laser done.
— my friend it turns out had laser hair removal done in Glendale with A. John Vartanian, M.D. and with only 1 package of 6 session, there is not a single hair left… she may even be darker skin tone than me with thinner lighter brown hair (at least on the head because that’s all I care to take not of! eek). It’s a shame I only found out about her treatment after I’d already squandered hard earned money at Tayani Institute. I came here from a referral through a friend, but that friend has almost white skin and super dark, thick hair since she’s Iranian, so her results were better than mine. NOT ALL REFERRALS = A+ results.

I recently took my father for an eye exam and cataract surgery to Tayani Eye Institute where he saw Dr. Tayani. My father had a lots of vision complaints, and concerns of nighttime driving.
He had cataract surgery about one month apart on both eyes and is now seeing ²⁰⁄₂₀ out of each eye!!!
Everyone was extremely pleasant and professional at the office. He loved Dr. Tayani.
Subsequently my mother had Botox treatment done on her forehead and around the eyes by Dr. Tayani. She was extremely pleased with the results. She said that it was the best Botox treatment she’s ever had, where she looks natural and wrinkle free!!!
Thank you to the staff for taking such good care of my parents.

Dr. Tayani schedules patients every 10 mins. This means the schedule is behind from the start of the day. I could have sworn the purpose of having an appointment was to insure that you didn’t have to wait like you were going to the DMV. As long as patients put up with this behavior they will continue to wait. Read the other reviews and you might save yourself a great deal of time and waiting while helping the Doctor to learn some manners. Do you think he waits when he has a reservation without putting up a fuss.
I feel I just helped those others waiting to see the doctor sooner by walking out.

Love Dr Tayani. My eye is still healing from surgery hope it turns out good at the end. The wait was much better this time. Thank you guys ! Nice staff

I had a terrible experience at this Institute. Waiting over an hour after your scheduled appointment time seems to be the norm here. All to get 5 minutes with the doctor. Who immediately prescribed surgery.
I sought another opinion and this ophthalmologist prescribed warm compresses and an antibiotic gel which resolved the problem in less than a week.
Thankfully, I did not allow myself to become frightened by talk of cancer, etc, for what is a minor, external blockage. Be ready to pay for parking at this location at $ 3.00 an hour. Despite the long wait to actually see a doctor, they don’t validate.

Dr. Ramin Tayani of the Tayani Eye Institute virtually blinded me in the botched cataract operation he did on my left eye. Further, he left my eye permanently dilated so bright light or sunshine is painful and absolutely blinding Stay away from this man at all costs if you value your eyesight.
In an operation that is supposed to take 15 – 20 minutes I woke up 45 minutes later and he was still trying to install the new lens properly. I could see OK in this eye when I walked in for the procedure, having developed a cataract. When I walked out I could see nothing but shapes and light – my vision was gone.
A few days later he did an exam and gave me a new pair of glasses. No improvement whatsoever. I was in a panic, and asked him for another exam and pair of glasses. When I next saw him, I told him I still could not see out of this eye – WHAT was he going to do to make it better? He just stared blankly at me with no answer whatsoever.
I have seen numerous highly regarded opthalmologists and optometrists subsequently. Everyone says the damage done in this operation was severe, and it was permanent. One of the opthalmologists at Orange County Retina, who is very good, operated on my eye to try and restore some vision. He was unable to do so despite his best efforts and that of a team of assistants. The Orange County Retina opthalmalogists finally just frankly told me they could not help me any further and suggested that I have a cataract operation in my right eye. I did so and had the operation done by Dr. Sumit Garg of the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute – a world-​class eye-​care center at UC Irvine. Dr. Garg did a magnificent job – I was actually stunned at the improvement of vision in my right eye. It allowed me to drive, and to read fairly well again.
I foolishly failed to sue Dr. Tayani before the statute of limitations expired. I later called him and asked if he would compensate me very modestly ($ 5,000) for the loss of vision in my eye. He asked me to come back and see him, which I agreed to do. He proceeded to tell me what a nice guy he was and refused any compensation. He had the audacity to tell me it was all just too bad but that these things happen from time to time and I just happened to be one of those with the bad luck.
He has been sued previously, and he has a number of lousy patient reviews. As I noted, if you value your eyesight, don’t go near this man.

I’m giving three stars because Dr. Joson is 5 stars but the reception staff is 1 star. I’ve been seeing Dr. Joson for 4 years regularly, he is a great Doctor I literally trust with my eyesight. I’ve found the support staff who deal with insurance, make appointments etc. to be rude and unhelpful. I will keep going to Tayani Eye because of Dr. Joson, but the staff needs some training.

Waiting is RIDICULOUS. My appt was @4:30 they ask me to be here 15 mins earlier, and I did. It is 5:45 and still waiting. No water or coffee to drink and everyone walks right by you with out even aknowledging you. I work in health care myself this is called TROUBLE service.

Rebecca Ng is great. So is the optician who works with her.

This place was the best. I saw 2 different doctors on 2 different days at different locations. First, the staff at both was super friendly. You don’t get that these days at most places. Also, the care and treatment was amazing. Loved Dr Josen was the best. Thank you for a great experience during my painful eye infection.

I would like to acknowledge the excellent patient care my elderly parents receive from Dr. Joson, Dr. Tayani, and staff. Dr Joson is their regular doctor and is simply amazing. My mom was having issues with severe eye pain on a Saturday. I called the office late that Saturday afternoon and Dr. Tayani answered the phone. I explained her symptoms and he asked me if I could have her at the Mission Viejo office in a half hour for him to see her. I could not believe a doctor was willing and wanting on his day off to go into the office to care for my mom. It turned out she had severely dry eyes. He gave her sample medications and a prescription eye drop. Every day after she felt better and her painful dry eyes are no more. Now that is excellent patient care.
The doctors and staff at Tayani Eye Institute are truly the best!

I am really glad, Dr. Ann Tran is at the Tayani Eye Institute. She has been my optometrist for over 10 years. She knows my eyes really well and makes great suggestions on how to keep my eyes healthy. I stare at the screens of computers for work a lot and she gives the best advice on how to prevent my eyes from tiring out. My family loves her. She is one of the best ODs out there.

Tayani Eye Institute is truly wonderful. My regular Dr. is Dr. Joson who is excellent. I was recently having a huge problem waking up one morning with severe eye irritation. By late afternoon it was getting worse & I went to the Mission Viejo office to see if they could help. They were amazing. The lady in front office made every effort to work me in on a very busy afternoon. Dr. Tran made it possible to see me, Turned out I had somehow scratched the cornea. I had two cataract surgeries last year which went perfectly thanks to Dr. Joson & Dr. Tayani. Thank you Tayani Institute for being the best there could be.

Dr. Tayani removed cataracts from both my eyes and placed the multi-​focal lens in my eyes. ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision, night vision restored, no pain, no discomfort. Don’t go anywhere else.

I have been seeing Dr Tayani for more than 5 years. He is an outstanding doctor. He did my cataract surgery with excellent results. I can get an appointment quickly. His staff is friendly and efficient. His offices are immaculate. In short I won’t let anyone else near my eyes. Oh and I should add I have a rare health issue involving my eyes that he takes care of. If you are looking for the best this is where you want to be.

I have been wearing contact lenses for close to twenty years and glasses for and glasses for at least twenty-​five. Of all the optometrist’s I have seen over the years, Dr. Mulick is by far the best. She is very thorough, detailed, and professional. She diagnosed my allergy to a contact solution in minutes that my previous dr ignored for years. The staff at Tayani Institute are very friendly and helpful as well. I have been seeing Dr. Mulick for about 4 years and wouldn’t think of going to anyone else. She is worth the drive from Long Beach.
