Elite Surgery Center of South Bay — Local services in Torrance

Dr Taban himself is a very good doctor but his office stuffs are very unprofessional. They need to receive minimum training to not play with the patients’ life! after I received a especial eye drop that My pupils dilated for 4 hours. The nurses told me you can drive afterwards, but they didn't tell me I had to wear sunglasses, and they didn't even give me sunglasses. As soon as I got out of my car, pulled out of the parking lot, and went into the middle of the street, I realized that my eyes couldn't see at all. I had to drive for ten minutes in a blindingly bright light, in a blinding fog, until I got to a restaurant parking lot, parked, and called the doctor's office. The doctor's secretary said, "You should wear sunglasses." I said, "You didn't tell me." She said, "It was in the front office. You could have taken them off." I told them, "This was the first time this ointment was used on my eyes. I asked three of your three nurses three times. Not one of them said I had to wear sunglasses. I paid $280 for the visit, but not one of the nurses said I had to wear sunglasses to drive. Eye clinics are usually supposed to give sunglasses to patients who need them, but they didn't give them to me." The nurse on the line asked, "Do you have any glasses?" Don't you have any sunglasses? I said no, I just wear prescription glasses, and because of your nurses' negligence, I had to drive for ten minutes in dangerous conditions without sufficient visibility to reach an open...

I have been under the care of Dr. Taban for several years and credit him with my ability to see. We have, together, had several eye operations. The first three were with different hospitals throughout Los Angeles. A fourth was in the Elite Surgery Center of South Bay. That was an excellent experience from start to finish. The front office was friendly and efficient in setting the date for an operation, sending the prescriptions to be filled (including one that was out of stock in one pharmacy so we had to FIND one with it!), and follow up calls. The day of surgery, everything was seamless and moved smoothly. The pre-op nurse was lovely and did everything necessary to make me feel calm and ready. The operating nurse was warm and caring -- and then I was out so I can't talk about the rest! Recovery was excellent and then, time to go home! So easy and well done!

Oh, and the surgery was perfectly...

My name is Tam Munn and I’ve been with Dr Taban for the past 2 years getting my eyes treated here in Torrance. I was at my worst when I first came to his office and now things are getting so much better with my vision. Dr Taban and the staff are very polite and professional with all their patients. So last month I have surgery on my right eye to fix some issues and the surgery was very successful. They just open a new surgery center on the 3rd floor of this building and I would totally recommend everyone to come see Dr Taban. Elite Surgery Center Of South Bay is where you want to come to get great services and they will take care of you like a family member. Thanks...
