I am so glad to know Dr. Hashemi for doing my surgery. She is done a perfect surgery, I can see perfectly now and I'm so comfortable To do my works that I couldn't do before. I liked valley Presbyterian hospital, good customer service
I am really very satisfied with the doctors and staff service. I will recommend Dr. Hashemi to my relatives and freinds.

Great docter
Dr Hashemi is very kind and patient and explains everything.
Very caring , answered all questions . Kind and knowledgable .
I like visiting the dr at advanced eye surgery clinic. I didn't at all like any part of my visit to the dr at cedar sinai, even the staff dropped the ball that week. But At advanced eye surgery clinic the dr has plenty of time to spend with each patient, she is friendly and has great bedside manner. One time she found an eye problem that I wasnt even aware of and was not experiencing symptoms from. Last week she gave me enough medicines to deal with the problem, which is great because I used to be in so much pain
Amazing, very well-spoken!
I appreciate the effort to make me comfortable and the will to actually make me better with the best treatment possible. I am very happy with the visit today as I got to understand more on my eyes and am looking forward on the treatment Doctor has offered. Amazing attention to patient. Thank you so much for all your help.
She gives very Thorough exams. They provide a number to call the Dr in case of emergencies. The number came in very handy one weekend when my eyes desperately needed medical care and the Emergency Room couldn't help.
Great experience
She is a truly exceptional woman. I was diagnosed with a condition called Pseudotumor Cerebri back in October 2017. I have been sent to a number of doctors who all told me the same thing. They were of no help to me and I was in constant pain as well as always being lost with my own condition. Stepping into her office was the smartest decision I have ever made and it stinks that it took me so long in order to see her. She was very helpful and she was one of the only doctors that gave me hope and knowledge that I would pass through this condition. Thank you Doctor!
Very kind, she explained everything very thoroughly. Patient was very comfortable. Great experience!
Great doctor. Very patient and carefull. Thanks a lot.
Dr. Hashemi is very sweet and very professional . It's my first time here and first time meeting her, I am impressed and will be returning.
