Dr Ghafouri is very slow to respond to patient needs. When she says she will do something she does not follow through. For example, when she said she would send over a RX to my pharmacy right away, it actually was sent 8 hours later. Meanwhile, I suffered with painful symptoms all day. She only works 2 days (Mondays and Fridays) at the Santa Monica location so if you leave a message for her it can 3 or 4 days before she sees it. Her English skills in emailing are very poor. So poor as to be unintelligible. I would not recommend Dr Ghafouri. I would find a physician who shows more concern for the patient's wellbeing rather than her own convenience.

I recently had an upper eyelid procedure completed by Dr Ghafouri and I couldn't be happier with my results. I was very impressed with her skill, bedside manner and her staff. Thank you Dr. Ghafouri!!

Dr. Ghafouri was patient , and listened to everything I had to say. She showed a thoughtful and caring attitude.my surgery on my eyes was carried out in a timely and efficient manner. After a week post op, I can say they whole experience was painless and very worthwhile. No complications have occurred and the results are amazing. I would go to her again and recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Ghafouri is the most dedicated and caring physician I have ever had. She was highly recomended by a colleugue, and has completely exceeded my expectations. It was her skilled hands that gave me a beautiful surgical outcome, but her wonderful bedside manner was what kept me at ease through a difficult time. Dr. Ghafouri is truly amazing.
