Soroudi Advanced Lasik & Eye Centers | Beverly Hills — Local services in Beverly Hills

My Name is Esmaeil Elyahoo and my birthday is 07/21/1943. Since my childhood I was interested in the art of calligraphy. I would like to improve my eyesight so that I can continue in this field. I did a cataracts operation on my right eye by Doctor Cayman fully covered by insurance five years ago for driving. About a month ago, I decided to do a near sighted operation on my left eye to be able to do calligraphy. I chose Dr. Ebbi Soroudi to do this operation for me because I had heard a lot of good advertisements about him on radio 670 AM. So I went to his office, but I was not able to reach him. Some other people working in his office checked my eye pressure and gave me prescription and told me to come back one week later. I went to him one week later and again could not see him. I sat with frustration for three hours until I yelled that I have an appointment with Dr. Soroudi. Finally the Doctor came and said "what's the matter here?". I told him that "I have come to get my left eye evaluated by you to see if I am a good candidate for this operation." He started complementing himself about his 10,000 successful past operations and said started criticizing my previous doctor that he has destroyed my right eye and we can not do anything about it. He concluded by saying "don't worry, take it easy, I do your operative easily next week." He didn't even realize that my eye pressure was very high and I was taking medication for that. I was at his office on Monday at 11 AM which was my appointment time, but I was called at 3PM and I was charged for a payment of $1000 with insurance coverage. After the operation they told to come back on Monday to check the results of the operation. I went to see him on Monday for checkup but he was not available and someone else checked my eye and told me that my eye pressure was still too high and I was shocked to hear that my eye operation was done for far sight which was completely opposite of what I wanted. The women gave me a prescription for the eye which I found in my pharmacy that it is not covered by insurance. I got very disappointed and decided to go back to my previous doctor because I had a lot of eye pain due to the recent operation. My previous doctor accepted to see me without an appointment. He evaluated my eye and offered the same prescription that I was looking for with no charge. Every 2 days he observed me and recommended Dr. Homayoun Tabandeh to me. He emailed my information to Dr. Tabandeh. He observed me and gave the necessary orders to Dr. Keymen. Right now, my eye hurts, has high pressure, and Dr. Soroudi does not have time to see me again. I regret going to this doctor because my eyesight has worsen after this operation. I beg you to not get fooled by his false advertisements saying that "he cares for your eyes as much as his own eyes". These are all lies and he doesn't care for your eyes...

This is a review of my experience with Dr. Soroudi for eye whitening, also known as BRITE-WHITE or WhiterEyes. I also had lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty with Dr. Soroudi.

If you’re looking into this procedure, you’re probably like me where you’ve suffered from low self esteem and undeserved judgement/concern from others about your red-yellow-brown-bloodshot-tired looking eyes. This can affect both your personal life and professional life, as well as your overall feelings of happiness. Unfortunately many people like myself suffer from this simply due to genetics or sun damage, not because we are losing sleep, hung over, doing drugs, or drinking excessively. Unfortunately eyes like ours carry this stigma and the only true resolution is surgery. Everyone performing this type of surgery uses the same principal - pterygium surgery followed by topical mytomycin C. But not all providers have the same skill, care, bedside manner, experience, or technology.

I had several consultations across the west coast before choosing Dr. Soroudi as my preferred treatment provider. My local ophthalmologist said he had only performed this surgery a few times and was hesitant. I also had a consult with Boxer Wachler. I was very disappointed with the lack of professionalism, patience, confidence, care, and concern I was given during my (paid non-refundable) consultation there. Dr. Soroudi was exactly the opposite. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explain in detail how he we be performing surgery, and share extensive information with me about his technique and experience. I felt 110% confident in him and I’m so glad I went with my gut! Surgery was painless. Recovery was slightly uncomfortable but Dr. Soroudi provided me with detailed post op instructions and care, and was available to me throughout the whole process. My case was very severe, but I saw about 75% improvement after the initial surgery. 6 months later I got a touch up with Dr. Soroudi and decided to also opt into fixing the bags under my eyes with a lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty at the same time, especially now that I had 1000% confidence in his skill and being under his care. Recovery was completely painless the second time around and my eyes are almost 100% clear now. I was even complemented by a stranger today that I had beautiful eyes! I never dreamed of a compliment like that before, about something I had been so insecure about for years! Life changing to be able to have the confidence to look my boss or a date in the eyes without worrying about what they are thinking.

Don’t hesitate or wait to see Dr. Soroudi, and start living your best life with renewed confidence and...

I had my upper and lower eyelid surgery procedure with Dr. Soroudi. They gave me post operation information papers and performed the surgery on a Friday afternoon. The many times they messed up: 1) They forgot to give me antibiotics until 3 days after the surgery when I called them and complained about it. 2) Based on their own procedure information, I was supposed to be seen 2 weeks after the surgery, but the receptionist said they don’t have any appointments and scheduled my appointment for one month after the surgery. 3) I went to their office after 9 days because I saw 4 firm threads around my eyes and the stitches were non-absorbent. Dr Zokaeim said I should come back after 2 weeks. The receptionist still didn’t want to make a 2-week appointment until Dr. Zokaeim persisted. 4) At the 2-week appointment, Dr. Zokaeim failed to remove all the stitches completely. I came home and could feel two black and hard-to-the-touch spots around my eyes. 5) When I went back for those two black spots, she failed to acknowledge her mistake and referred to the two dots as “bruises,” yet she removed them with tweezers!!!!!! 6) Dr. Soroudi had told me it will take one to three months for the stitch marks to heal completely and mentioned that only two tiny dots on the corner of my eyes would remain. However, it has passed 4 months and all the stitch marks are fully visible and DEEP. The stitch marks have been so awful and deep that none of the 4 concealers I tried cover them. 7) In addition, my upper eyelids are not symmetric and one of the stitch curves is located higher than my other eye’s, and they are done with very poor precision (pictures attached). 8) Last but not least, I haven’t been able to reach him to even ask for his opinion about the stitch marks, regardless of the countless times I have called their office and texted the emergency line response. He didn’t care to talk to me for even 2 minutes and texted me a “come in” during the quarantine and the pandemic when the office was closed and the receptionist kept telling me the doctor is not here. What are you going to do to fix the mess you created at the time of sewing the stitches? I am only 59 and the scars the doctor has given me on both my upper and lower lids are way worse than the shape of my eyes prior to the surgery even now after four and a half whole months. I used to have only two wrinkles on the side of my eyes and now there are four. I paid so much money to get good results for such sensitive and important part of my face, and what I got was a procedure with a precision of a ten-year-old sewing two pieces of...
