Macula Retina Vitreous Center

I searched the internet for an ophthalmologist that specialized in diabetes related eye diseases as a relative had recently been diagnosed with diabetes and had blurry vision. After reading reviews for several doctors that made patients wait for hours to be seen, I cam across Dr. Taban’s reviews. Given his 5 star rating, I passed the information on to my relative. She called and was able to get an appointment for the next day. This was a relief as her vision had deteriorated rapidly to the point that she could not read without a magnifying glass. She was afraid that she might lose her vision.
Upon arriving for the appointment, the first thing we saw was a full waiting room. I thought I was going to have to come home and write a review about the wait. The wait was only about 30 minutes which I think is acceptable. Her eyes were examined by a tech and then we waited only briefly to discuss the results with the doctor. As it turned out, she had no diabetic related eye disease which Dr. Taban specializes in but cataracts. He explained the results of the tests and referred her to an ophthalmologist that specializes in cataracts as he does not perform cataract surgery.
I would recommend Dr. Taban to anyone that needed an ophthalmologist for diabetes related eye disease or any of his other specialties.

Dr. Taban is a true rock star. I was diagnosed with a very badly torn /​detached retina, and rather than instantly taking the easier (and likely much more lucrative for him) route of full surgery, he suggested first trying his skills at a combination of ‘gas bubble’ and cryo (freezing) procedures. While not an option in 100% of cases, he suggested for mine it could be worth trying, vs. much more invasive full surgery. I agreed, and in short, he ‘nailed’ both procedures (and I also followed all post-​procedure instructions perfectly), and only 5 weeks after the first procedure I’m now back to 100%. Very glad I found him, and I highly recommend for others.

Dr. Mehran Ron Taban is an absolute Saint. This past Labor day, I suddenly lost vision in my left eye from what seemed to be a retina detachment. I was experiencing all the symptoms like seeing floaters and flashes of light but like a fool, I decided to wait till the last minute.
I went in to see my regular ophthalmologist Dr. John Mayer who confirmed the fact that this indeed was a retina detachment. Dr. Mayer proceeded to make 4 or 5 phone calls to any retina specialist who would be available on a holiday weekend to consult with me for treatment that same day.
Dr. Taban was the only one willing to go out of their way to see me on a holiday. Not only did he drive more than a hour to come see me privately at his office in Torrance but agreed to go ahead with the emergency surgery later that evening!
It’s been a week since the surgery. The surgery went on without a hitch and today in his office, Dr. Taban assured me that everything is going as planned and that my surgery is looking good.
I’ve have high hopes that I will make a full recovery just based on how knowledgeable, professional and confident, Dr. Taban really is.
I highly recommend that you consider Dr. Taban as your first option or at least a second opinion should you have any issues concerning your vision. He comes with very high accolades (as you will read down below) on top of being the Founder and Director of his Macula Retina Vitreous Center in Torrance. Great Doctor and great team. Thank you Dr. Taban, see you soon!

Great office!!!
From the front desk to the assistants and Dr. Taban. The whole experience was very pleasant. I don’t have any problem with my eyes but I’ve been going to an ophthalmologist because of family history but my Ophthalmologist is too far for me now so I went to see Dr. Taban for my annual check up. He is very nice and noticed how he’s very caring to his patients.

Dr. Taban and staff are excellent! I highly recommend this office

Dr Taban has established his own practice and it is one of the best run offices I have ever been at. He’s treated my 90 year old Mom and she has retained a good deal of her vision. The staff is efficient and friendly and there is hardly a wait when you get there. I would recommend anyone with serious eye problems to consider going to the Macula Retina Vitreous Center for treatment.
