Unfortunately there is no negative 10 option to rate this doctor. Dr. Eshagian either took over or bought the business from retired eye doctor, opened new office inheriting phone number of an old one and disrespectfully ignored to notify calling for appointment patients of former doctor that this eye clinic is operating under new person. I called to make an appointment for my mother knowing that I’m calling her regular eye doctor. Front gave me a date for her and didn’t even mention to me that she will be seen by new doctor not old one. Not to mention that upon picking up the phone they said “hello” instead of Dr. Eshagian office. So my mother went to the office thinking that her eye doctor just changed the location. Upon arriving she was asked to fill forms. She asked why she needs to feel forms if she is an existing patient. Response was that her old doctor retired. She asked why didn’t they tell her when we called for appointment. Response was - new office is trying to get old patient for themselves. My mom left, so doctor caught her by the elevator, turned phone flashlight on and tried to check her eye in the hallway by the elevator… unbelievable.

Follow Up after surgery: This Dr is wonderful. truly. He's a pro. Had 2 surgeries and after care for a year now~ He's easy to get an appointment with, yes, you may have to wait in the office because they are busy; but a Dr. and office staff who care~ in L.A. is worth the wait to me. I love what this man , and his practice are about. Original review: writing this because i see the one star reviews and i want to counter them ~i loved my experience with this dr. he is informative, patient centered and kind. i am scheduled to have him do my 2 cataract surgeries. i've had 2 office visits so far and i love this place. old fashioned Hollywood at it's best~ and he is a skilled surgeon if you look for the medical info.

Dr Esagian is a great old-fashioned kind of doctor who takes his time to care and treat his patients. I first went to see him and was impressed with his caring style. I even refer my husband to be his patient. I was going to another Chinese eye doctor who wanted me to buy everything in his office and did not even notice that I had very high eye pressure. Thanks to Doctor Joseph Eshagian for noticing that I have eye pressure and has been giving me eye drop treatment prescriptions. Dr Eshagian is a very good eye doctor and I just can't say it enough. The only thing is that waiting time is long but it is worth it because you are seeing one of the best eye specialist in the world. I also like the fact that he always answers his phone after hours and this tells you that this is a doctor that cares!!!!!!!!! Monica M.
