East Valley Eye Center

When I called to make my appointment, they were incredibly helpful and kind, not to mention patient since I had so many questions. It was a wonderful experience all around. I would definitely refer East Valley Eye Center to all of my friends and family.

I was seen by Dr. Farid Eghbali who is very kind and educated. The nurse and the staff were amazing and helpful. They are very fast too, I did get my glasses within a week.
Overall I had a great experience.

Referred by a trusted colleague who’s family are long time patients of doctors Farid Eghbali and Kourosh Eghbali, I have received excellent care from both doctors and their wonderful staff, including having a very difficult cataract removed by Dr. Kourosh. I was given the information and thoroughly cautioned regarding the risks of the surgery to where I was able to articulate reasons to Dr. Kourosh for needing the procedure. And he really listened! My outcome far exceeds my expectations. Today I visited a retinal specialist who stated that Dr. Kourosh «did a beautiful job» on my eye.

If anyone is looking for an excellent eye doctor for you and/​or your kids, I can’t recommend Dr. Eghbali in Burbank enough. A friend recommended him to me, and since I went, I also took my 4 and 6 year old and my husband is going next week. The office is efficient, super clean and super high tech. They take insurance. They are in Burbank medical area, so my primary doctor is there as well so I can get a few things done at once. They were great with my kids as well. Have all the bells and whistles. Here is the info: 818−846−9999. The office is at 2601 W Alameda, Burbank. He is very knowledgeable, kind and patient. Can’t say enough good things!

My husband, daughter and I all go to Dr. E for our various eye issues. Top-​notch care. Really the best. So fortunate to have this doctor and his staff in Burbank.

One cannot compare the two brothers together. My experience with Dr. Farid Eghbali were fantastic. About a few months ago, I found out through Dr. Farid that I would no longer need glasses since my vision had advanced and was perfect. He didn’t even want me to purchase glasses from his own office because it would’ve been a waste of my money since I no longer needed them (even for reading). Anyways, I had called in for an emergency appointment because I had pain in one of my eyes (due to staring at the computer for hours at work) …and the staff did not notify me that Dr. Farid was on his day off. Assuming that I would have him take care of me, since I was registered under his name, I went feeling confident. The front staff, Lady with the glasses is very rude and unprofessional. I found out that his brother, Dr. Kourosh Eghbali was going to examine my eye instead. I was called into a room and I waited for about 45 minutes until I finally got a visit from Dr. Kourosh Eghbali.
I explained to him that I was having trouble with one of my eyes. His response was «…it MAYBE from stress, you may have a thyroid problem, which you can take your exam at MY lab ($$$), or you MAY have a tumor in your eye which is pushing your eyeball out.» At this point, I felt nauseous.
He sent me to another room for me to get an eye exam. The assistant was surprised that he had sent me for an eye exam which was worth over $ 100 since my vision was classified as normal. I asked the assistant if she saw any signs of a tumor and she laughed at me. She literally giggled and said «you’re to young to have a probelm with a tumor, even water in your eye» and I felt like this was all a joke. As if that wasn’t enough, Dr. Kourosh kept pressuring me to take my blood exam (FOR THE ‘POSSIBLE’ thyroid problem) at his lab instead of my actual doctor’s (another business tactic). I felt weak and confused. With his assistant in the room, I asked if I can possibly have a tumor in my eye. His response left me speechless. He said, «No no, no tumor» as he giggled. He tricked me into taking the eye exam. So when I asked him what the point of the eye exam was, he said that it was to check whether or not I had fluid flowing in my eye (WHICH THE ASSISTANT SAID «ONLY HAPPENS TO OLD PATIENTS») IM 19 years old. This is all a business. All he is interested in is the money and not his patients. I am very disappointed.
I asked if I can take the eye vision test to see if my vision had gone bad throughout these past few months and he was quick to say «We’ll see how your vision is when you come back in two months» (another $$$ tactic) since every visit costs money ($ 100)
He was also quick to schedule me appointments with his business parters as well. One of them being Jason Sabet-​Peyman.
I have been having problems with my vision since the age of five and this was my worst experience with an eye doctor.
Business is business, but being a good person shouldn’t be so hard.

I am so impressed with the quality of care that I received from Dr. Farid Eghbali! He is really kind and has a great sense of humor, but most importantly, his follow up care to ensure that my eye infection did not progress, was exceptional. He squeezed me in every couple of days to monitor my condition, which I so greatly appreciated. He even considered the cost of medications that he prescribed. Thoughtful and thorough! I need to give a special mention to Cheryl in his office. She facilitated my initial visit and ensured I was seen quickly due to the level of pain that I was in. What a caring staff! This office is my absolute «go to» and referral office for all things eye related! «Look» no further :-).

Excellent experience in this office.

Dr Kourosh Eghbali gets my recommendation. I have had cataract surgery on both eyes and have experienced great results at this time. The staff at the eye center is professional and helpful. I also would like to thank Cheryl on all the help she has given me…

Dr. Farid Eghbali and his staff are wonderful!
I was referred here by a friend because I have been noticing my vision has gotten more blurry since I began my new desk job a year ago. I visited the office and it turns out I have slight astigmatism.
Making an appointment was super easy and the receptionists are very helpful with everything from giving parking directions to dealing with insurance companies.
The office is in an older building but very well kept, clean and comfortable.
They have an in office eyeglass shop and the man working there, John I believe, is fantastic. You will get individual attention for as long as you need until you find your perfect pair. I settled for red cat eye Prada’s
Limited street parking but ample sized attached parking garage that is $ 1 every 20 minutes.

Been here a few times for various check ups on a problem I was having that was causing me a lot of stress. The women at the front desk are very sweet. I never waited too long, and they have a little TV playing in the wait room to keep it comfortable.
I first worked with Dr. Kourosh Eghbali, who was very no nonsense and intelligent. He really knows his shit and got me in and out which I loved. We later set up an appointment for a surgery which I just left from with Dr. Peyman.
Dr. Peyman is incredibly good. He has amazing bedside manner and does a wonderful job of making you feel safe and comfortable. working with eyes and eyelids is very delicate work, and he handled it with fantastic sensitivity. I never once knew when he was using a needle or a scalpel. I really appreciated him hiding that so well. He was very thorough, and talked me through every thing I asked.
I can’t speak highly enough about this place!

Dr. Farid Eghbali is my doctor and he deserves to get 5 Stars on Unilocal!
Such an amazing, caring, knowledgeable, and patient doctor. Highly recommended!

Two years ago, I saw Dr. Kourosh Eghbali about what turned out to be a fast-​growing cataract in my left eye. I was extremely impressed at the fact that Dr. Kourosh Eghbali was very thorough and extremely conservative throughout the process of testing and diagnosing my condition. Thanks to his sound advice and my high confidence in Dr. Eghbali, he performed the surgery on my left eye. And after a very short recovery, I have since had perfect vision in my left eye.
Recently, my right eye digressed quickly due to the same fast-​growing cataract tendency — to the point where I could only see light and contrasting figures. My cataract had grown so thick that this procedure was going to be more challenging. Dr. Kourosh Eghbali once again gave sound advice, and he clearly communicated my options. I proceeded (without hesitation) because I have developed such trust and respect for Dr. Eghbali.
The surgery was a calm experience. Dr. Kourosh Eghbali and his support team worked with great synergy, and this difficult procedure was a success. In fact, Dr. Eghbali was able to perform this surgery in a very NON-​invasive manner. This might not have been the case if I had gone elsewhere for my cataract surgery.
In closing, I would like to say that Dr. Kourosh Eghballi is also a compassionate and caring physician who (in my opinion) has a strong passion about his profession. I completely trust Dr. Kourosh Eghbali; have had nothing but wonderful results (thanks to him); and have resolutely determined that he is THE ONLY DOCTOR that I will continue to see for my vision health.
Sincerely,
Tony W.

Dr. Farid Eghbali is super qualified, kind, amazing… I can’t say enough about Dr. Eghbali. I love referring people to him because he is the best.
They also have a good selection of designer eyewear and a contact service. Park in the lot – don’t waste time trying to find street parking. It is a pay lot so be prepared.
It’s worth it for such a knowledgeable and kind doctor.

If you are looking for good eye care DO NOT go to Dr Eghbali. The staff is down right surly at best. When they make a mistake (giving incorrect strength of contact lenses, more than once) they are completely argumentative and bitchy. I had a preliminary exam by a technician who said it was just to make sure I could see well enough to drive, that the doctor would give me a full eye exam. He never did, he said my eyes were fine but he would write me a prescription for hip, expensive frames if that’s what I wanted. That’s not what I wanted, just want to be able to see properly! In my 30’s Dr Eghbali prescribed distance and reading glasses for me. I am in my mid 50’s now and have difficulty seeing street signs when driving and get headaches when reading. So am I to believe that my eyes have magically gotten better as I age? I don’t think so, I think Dr Eghbali is an ass who thinks very highly of himself and not much of his patients. And if my eyes are «fine» then why did he write two prescriptions for me over 20 years ago? What a rip off! This guy is overly impressed with himself because he does work for the Dodgers. Maybe the Dodgers should be going to a good eye doctor, that’s what my family and I are doing. Dr Eghbali just lost four patients and I hope many more. To be honest, you would be better off getting an eye exam at Costco. Please read the reviews and DO NOT GO TO DR EGHBALI!!!
One star because it won’t allow zero stars which is what this office deserves.

Dr. Farid Eghbali is amazing! I’ve been wearing glasses since the age of six and have a multitude of eye issues. I have never had ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision… ever. Now, I have contacts (which I love) and for the first time in my life I was able to read the ²⁰⁄₂₀ line on the eye chart. I almost cried I was so happy!!! If you have any sort of complicated eye issues or just need a basic evaluation Dr. Eghbali is the doctor for you. He is very knowledge and really spent the time to work with to get me a vision program that works for me. The office staff aren’t the most friendly, but I really feel that’s a rare find for an any doctor. I really care about the doctor since he/​she is going to be the one taking care of me. There is a paid parking lot, and street parking. If you are able to go during the day and not during peak off-​work hours you can find street parking. :)

Dr Farid Eghbali is great (he brags about serving the Dodgers) so suck it up, squint, pass that eye exam… it is expensive.
And parking is difficult there and you avoid the meter if you can b/​c it could be a long (expensive) wait.

Worst Staff EVER!!! The eye doctor, Dr. Farid Eghbali, is amazing but the front desk receptionist are, excuse my french, Bitchy && Rude. When i first started going, i thought maybe they were having a bad day, but as the years went on, each visit was worse. One girl in particular is straight up rude, she works at the front desk.
On top of that the new nurse was rude && judgmental.
Although i will say the doctor himself, Dr. Farid Eghbali, is great, he explains everything you need to know && very thoroughly.

Dr. Farid Eghbali is very knownledgable, professional and friendly.
went to two other eye dr. but they were unable to diagnose the problem. until I
saw Dr. Eghbali. within a week my eye is back to normal.
I highly recommend him if you have any eye problem!

I figured I would write a review, since I really liked my eye doctor I saw, Dr. Farid Engbali.
I had never been here, and it’s always kinda scary walking into a new eye doctor, but he made me relax and feel very comfortable. He has good sense of humor, and he is very personable.
The downsides of this office is that you have to pay for parking in their lot, which stink, s because it’s the valley. Although there is street parking, I drove around for ten minutes and couldn’t find any. Also, I waited about an hour to see the doctor.
Also, the girl who helped me pick out my glasses frames was very nice and helped me choose which ones to get. I say, if you’re looking for an eye doctor, make sure to pick Dr. Farid, because he’s great with his patients, but be prepared to wait, and look for street parking if you don’t want to pay
