davidy Testimonials LASIK surgery with Dr. Khodabakhsh changed my life! Before LASIK surgery I had to fumble around every morning looking for my glasses. Now, I just roll out of bed and go on with my day. I have gotten rid of my glasses completely and even see better than many people around me.

monicac Testimonials “But these are my eyes”

For years I could not fathom the thought of LASIK. The thought of having a doctor go in and cut my eyes with a blade or laser was out of the question. It was a far dream for me to wake up and not have to reach over for my trusty glasses or to be able to go swimming in the summer and be able to see! One of my biggest worries living in California was earthquakes. The “what if’s…” were always present. It’s now been 22 days since I had the procedure done and it’s been great. Dr. Khodabakhsh is an amazing doctor. There was never a doubt in my mind after meeting him for the first time on a Sunday morning (as I was the fortunate one to drive my sister to his office, who had never been seen by him either) for an emergency visit. She had a severe accident with her contact lenses and needed attention. Now this is why I cannot stop raving about this doctor. We even felt bad because it was Sunday morning, his wife’s birthday, and his mouth was swollen from undergoing dental surgery 2 days prior. After my initial consult he made me feel like he really had both my sister’s and my best interest at heart. Once my sister recovered, we both scheduled to have our procedures done together, and my mom is soon to follow. I could not have been more blessed than having Dr. Khodabakhsh and his practice in my life. The Beverly Hills Vision staff is the nicest and Christine is the best. I owe my new 20/15 vision to him and his wonderful staff. Thank you so much, you have really changed my life.

For those contemplating LASIK: If you are a candidate, it is one of the best investments you can make for yourself. My procedure was pain-free and the actual laser part was at most 30-odd seconds long (per eye). The benefits are incredible. You will no longer be dependant on glasses or contacts, and that’s such a great feeling. I guarantee that once you meet Dr. Khodabakhsh you’ll feel just as I did. My only regret is not meeting him sooner!!

ashkank Testimonials Dr. Khodabakhsh gave me an amazing consultation, and explained everything in full detail to me. During the procedure Dr. K made me feel very comfortable; he talked to me throughout the procedure, and it felt like it was only a few minutes long. I had perfect vision the next day and now I have better-than-perfect vision. Dr. Khodabakhsh knows what he is doing and I highly recommend him to anyone.

julieh Testimonials Since the fourth grade, I’ve worn some form of corrective lenses. My vision grew progressively worse as I got older, reaching as high as a negative-10 prescription for my contact lenses. I could not even see the big “E” on top of an eye chart! So, imagine how it felt when I emerged from my LASIK procedure able to read the numbers on the clock on the wall, just seconds after Dr. K “fixed” my eyes. Since then, I’ve enjoyed breathtaking views of many things, without contacts or glasses. It’s been incredibly liberating. Because I was so severely nearsighted before, I do feel like this has been a major life change.

sandraf Testimonials Hi, my name is Sandra Flores, and I’m the office manager to a large medical practice.
I had seen, plus interviewed, many doctors because of my very high astigmatism. After doing my research for 1 year I decided to have Dr. Khodabakhsh do my surgery, and it was the best decision I ever made. My vision after surgery was 20/20; it was awesome!
Now I enjoy doing things I couldn’t before, like watching TV, running without having my glasses falling off, not having to use contacts, waking in the morning and not having to worry where I left my glasses the day before, wearing eye make up that people can actually see without my glasses, and looking younger. Thank you Dr. Khodabakhsh; you’re the best!
-Sandra

jacklined Testimonials My name is Jackline Daneshrad. I have been wearing glasses since the age of eight and soft contact lenses since they were available. Like many long-time contact lens users I developed severe allergies to the lens which made my life miserable. I had a big dilemma on my hands: I did not wanted to go back to glasses and I was TERRIFIED to undergo to LASIK surgery !

Finally, I took a courageous step and interviewed the best LASIK doctors . Dr K. was the only doctor I would trust my eyes to, and after a perfect surgery, he gave me perfect vision. I was so happy with my results that I recommended Dr K. to my son. My son is elated with the outcome of his surgery, too.

I am so glad I did it and I love my new eyes. I recommend Dr K. to anyone considering LASIK surgery. Thanks Dr K., I am forever grateful.

allens Testimonials Thank you so much for the gift of freedom. After years of putting the idea off, one meeting with Dr. K finally unleashed me from the fear of going forward with this procedure. His great depth of knowledge and amazing level of attention to detail were extremely reassuring.

Now I am free of glasses and my vision is actually better than it was with those clumsy annoying frames (and don’t let me get started about my trials with contact lenses!).

Wishing you continued success in improving life for your patients one procedure at a time.

allens I can’t thank Dr. Khodabakhsh enough for my new eyes! I had the PRK surgery a year ago, and my eyes are incredible. Before I had the surgery, I was a -5 in each eye, and now I’m 20/15. Dr. Khodabakhsh is an incredible doctor. He’s very thorough, informative, and accessible. He gave me his personal cell phone number in case I had any issues after my surgery, which is something I find rare. He truly cares about each of his patients. I highly recommend him!

Thank you, Dr. Khodabakhsh!

heres to final days with glasses Testimonials Who needs HD television when you’ve got your own HD eyes? For someone typically without a loss for words……I am finally struck at how difficult it is to explain the sheer joy I feel after having my new hero, Dr. Khodabakhsh, remove a horrendous cataract and replace it with my new, awesome multifocal lens. It’s a 20 minute procedure and the world is new. His patience, understanding, and truly gifted hands are incomparable. I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone else, nor should you. I am so happy. Can’t wait for the next (and last) eye!

Sincerely,
Pam Franceschi


Dear Dr. K.

I must let you know what a difference you have made in my life. Although you came recommended to me by my Opthamologist of 30 years…I was a little anxious about having Cataract Surgery until I met you. Your calm professionalism as well as your patience in explaining every single step along the way gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedure. The best part of all was your suggested choice of receiving the Crystal Lens implant. What a miracle. 30 minutes after the procedure I could see out of my right eye so completely that I cried. Before this…I had no business driving and I thouht I was destined to see blurred tail lights, blurred street signs and dimmed colors for the rest of my life. The Crystal lens was the perfect choice because I now see as I did as a young adult: close, middle and distance.

Thank you so very much. I will never be able to properly explain to you the difference in quality of life that you have given me. I now wait anxiously for the other eye to be corrected I can’t wait.

I also would like you to know your office staff is like no other staff I have seen. They are patient, helpful and make me feel I have been a patient of yours forever.

With Gratitude,

Lara L. Ladd


In the past 3 months of 2010 I have had two very difficult cataract surgeries done magnificently by Dr. Khodabakhsh with wonderful results. He is without doubt the very best opthamalogical surgeon, attentive, helpful, caring, and courteous as is his whole staff. I am delighted to be able to recommend him to anyone in need of his great skill.

Most sincerely,
Carolyn S. Olman, Patient


My mother had cataract surgery in the ‘60s. She spent a week in the hospital with her head immobilized by sandbags. After her “successful” surgery, she wore very thick glasses and lost 10% of her peripheral vision. I trembled at the thought that I would have to have cataract surgery.

My ophthalmologist’s simple statement that Dr. Khodabakhsh would eventually remove his cataracts quieted my fears. It was, however, Dr. Khodabakhsh’s well-earned reputation, gentle reassurances, accessibility, and the fact that I can see clearly now, my fear of future cataract surgery has been laid to rest.

Thank you.

Dear Dr. Khodabakhsh

I just want to thank you for the excellent work you did on my eyes. No one can know the joy of regaining how sharp all the bright colors are, and seeing everything without glasses. My reading vision has not been this sharp since I was 20! Of course on the other side, is the shock of seeing all the dirt in our house, or the lines on my face. But, I prefer it this way… So thank you so much for the cataract job for me.
