Harvard Eye Associates - Laguna Hills's Online Review Report Card

I was visited by Dr Rouhani in Harvard Eyes. I have a chronic eye condition and had consulted more than 10 ophthalmologists before in the past 20 years, but none of them listened to me so attentively and examined my condition so thoroughly.Dr Rouhani did a really great job in our first visit. She explained to me very clearly the condition with my eyes, reviewed with me the alternative options and discussed with me the path forward.While it has passed only one week since I started my treatment, I see visible improvements and I am so happy with my experience.The process for booking an appointment and the registration were also very straight forward and easy.All in all, great experience with HEA and Dr Rouhani. 🙏

I had cataract surgery on both eyes with Dr. Edward Kim, and still have a few lens adjustments to go. He was very patient with my long questions during my visit that helped to reduce my stress.  It was more difficult to pass a message on to Dr. I left messages and emailed to Dr's assistant multiple times to refill eye drop but it was no response.  I was lucky to get through Briana Hagen, customer service/front desk, who proactively walked to the Dr. to get my prescription done. Thank you so much, Briana. Hope more staff would act like her to show the warm side of human feeling.5/14/2021 I finished all my eye vision adjustment today. I had a great team of doctors and their assistants for my cataract surgery. Dr. Edward Kim is a skillful, and experienced doctor with sweet and patient care. When I sat on the chair for eye adjustment the first time, my legs were hanging not touching the ground, he noticed and remembered it, he put a box as a footstep for me on my every adjustment procedure to ensure I was comfortable enough to accept the procedure. He has so many patients but he remembered my needs. Dr. Isabell Choi, was in charge of measuring my vision before each adjustment procedure. When she approached me, I felt she was just a young lady of next door, but when I asked her medical questions, she had answered for me and she would relate my concerns to Dr. Edward Kim. It seemed to me they communicated on my case before the procedure, they treated me as a person who has medical needs, not just a patient chart.From living a life with a blurry vision to a clear vision that I can finish my computer work efficiently, I feel I am reborn.

Thank you Dr. Kirsten and Harvard Eye for giving me the best vision I’ve ever had in my whole life. It has changed my life. I’ve already recommended several people. Thank you again Ed Krone

Dr Edward Kim is wonderful! Great experience for cataract surgery. He is professional, efficient and I never felt pressure to “buy up” to more expensive lenses. The office runs like a well oiled machine and I rarely had to wait prior to my appointments. I would highly recommend Dr Kim!

What a wonderful experience with Dr Edward Kim! I had cataract surgery done on both eyes and I am so happy with the results. Everyone at both the Harvard Eye Institute and the Alicia surgery enter were all so nice!! Everything was on time and nothing seemed rushed. I really felt I was in excellent hands all the way through. And Dr Kim has a wonderful caring attitude and explains things so well. I would definitely recommend Dr Edward Kim and his whole team!!

I had PRK Lasik in both my eyes in December 2020 with Dr. Kersten. She went who went above and beyond in every capacity. Even more important, you could tell that she truly loved her job and had a great passion for what she does. Dr. Kersten always took the extra time to explain things more thoroughly to me and even stayed behind late at the office on New Years Eve to replace a bandage contact for me. I'm about one month post op and I can finally see again after many years relying on glasses and contacts. Dr. Choi was also incredible and went above and beyond in all pre and post op appointments. I truly felt like I was in great hands and would highly recommend Harvard Eye to anyone looking for an eye doctor. During my appointments my parents were also able to try on and order new glasses/sunglasses and loved their experience and the attention to detail they received as well. Thanks Harvard Eye!

I had Cataract surgery last October 2020. It was a wonderfully SAFE experience. It was performed by Dr. Teymoorian at the Alicia Surgery Center. I checked in at my appt time & 45 minutes later I was on my way home! I was well cared for and witnessed first hand all the SAFETY steps they have in place for your protection. Please don’t let the fear of COVID-19 keep you from seeing clearly. Go for it! You’ll be glad you did! 😃

They wanted to charge me $365 for my sons eye exam! I refused and they said I could pay $275 for the exam or I could order glasses for $250 through them and then pay $50 for the exam! Crazy! Not worth it!

I changed opthamologists because I wasn't happy with mine. Always seemed like he was pushing me to only buy glasses there; he was always very, very late for any appointment (like waiting in a room for an hour?) Dr. Rouhani was absolutely amazing. She performed cataract surgery on both my eyes; my right eye had a problem getting the lens in, but she succeeded. I now only need glasses for reading VERY small print. She was patient, never hurried, answered every question (no matter how dumb it was). I always feel like I'm her only patient. The staff is very efficient and also answer questions even when they are busy. Highly, highly recommend Harvard Eye Associates and Dr. Rouhani.
