Retina-Vitreous Associates Medical Group

When reviewing a medical office or physician, I base the review on the outcomes regarding my health first and foremost. Dr. Firas Rahaal is the guy. He just is. I needed two retina repairs within two months — Dr. Rahaal explained things clearly and I never felt rushed in my visits with him even though it’s clearly a very busy office. Most importantly, I trusted him from day one. I’ve since run into random people out and about and the subject of eyes comes up – I bring it up, OK, it’s been a long recovery with my issue! I’ve met a few people who go to RVAMG and everyone agrees that Dr. Rahaal is. the. guy. I’ve also had to see other eye surgeons to deal with other aspects of my issue. Everyone has great things to say about Dr. Rahaal. As to issues with the front office, I’ve never had a problem. Some of the assistants I like better than others, but I’ve never felt anyone was rude.

I had a great experience at this office. Everyone was polite, courteous and positive. Dr. Daniel Esmaili was the best. He was thorough, gentle, kind, accurate and trustworthy. He took the time to answer all my questions and put me at ease. I had been to 2 other doctors for this condition and had less than satisfactory experiences. Marie, the nurse was very kind and understanding and thorough with her tests. The office is clean and comfortable. I know people complain about the wait but the appointment desk warns people that it may take up to 2 hours. I only waited 20 minutes to get started and the rest of the time was well spent. The technicians were positive and helpful. I would go back to this office, even though I live far from it.

Just wanted to update you with the rest of my experience… minus 1 star for wasting my time inquiring. This place supposedly undercharged me with my copay during my visit, and so I got a letter in the mail stating that I owed an extra $ 10 on my balance. I had to waste my time to call this place for clarification and then call my insurance for verification. I learned some things from this experience though. I can’t believe this place charges per eye. That’s so ridiculously funny and pretty pathetic. I’m not sure if other places do this too, but never in my life have I seen this type of charge before. I’m sure some places know how to pull some strings and cheat the system, where they charge you as much as possible through insurance. All I’ll say is always question everything and learn from your experiences. I love to share, so there you have it! You pay for the area you shop in also. That’s LA for ya…

Dr. Dayani is a terrific surgeon and wonderful man.
Unfortunately, the front office here is terrible. And I have far more interaction with them than the doc.
Downright rude, incompetent, arrogant and negligent. It’s just not worth it.
I had to work way hard literally for two weeks to finally get a callback from one person in his office that is competent, and who could answer my questions or I’d have simply gone to another surgeon.
Delvi is one of the worst. Inconsiderate, rude, and a total discredit to the company.
C’mon doctor Dayani, get involved. These overgrown children with no medical training running around the front office in scrubs mistreating your patients, acting like they are doing us a favor just to talk to us, is not helping you or your practice.

We’ve been coming here for maybe 2 years now. This office needs to replace their front office personnel especially the hispanic girl with the «ugly reddish/​pinkish» hair. Whenever we walk in the office and she is there, she doesn’t even bother to look up and greet you even if you say good morning to her.
The last time we went, there was another hispanic family who asked her for the restroom key, it made me raise my eyebrows because she was rude to the patient. I work in a similar office like theirs but even if I am having a bad day, I have to put on a friendly face for the patient. I don’t have any complaints with Dr. Tabandeh and most of the back office people but that particular hispanic lady, she needs to go. She is making this practice look really bad.

I’m sure all the doctors working there are all just awesome but this review is specifically for Dr. Pouya Dayani. Not only he is a great doctor but also a great human being. very patient and kind as well as very well educated. Thank you all for being such an awesome group… Btw, great staff as well :)

Dr. Novack was GREAT. He was very nice and knowledgeable and I trust his work and would recommend him.
The only reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because I waited 1.5 hours to see the doctor. I’m not sure if this regularly happens, but it was annoying. Other than that, I was happy with my experience, and everyone was courteous and nice.

As good as medicine gets. Dr. Dayini is a gift from God. I’ve had two retinal tears in the last two years. One in each eye. The most recent one was last month. I got a referral from my primary care physician and made an appointment (this is very important … retinal tears left untreated can lead to blindness at any time).
I went in for my appointment and the entire staff was amazing. Professional, competent, helpful, courteous. I can’t say enough.
Then I met Dr. Dayini. An amazing doctor. Totally professional. Terrific bedside manner. Dr. Dayini gave me my options and we agreed to an in-​office procedure rather than a full surgical (in hospital) operation as I had previously had. The in-​office procedure was a complete success with my full vision restored.
I’m a tough grader. Reyina-​Vitreous Associates gets an «A+++» rating. They couldn’t have done anything better. Every step of the way, they were fantastic.
If you need the best Los Angeles has to offer in retina care, this is the place to go. I can’t say enough great things about them. They are just exceptional.
