I recounted a recent bad optometrist experience (elsewhere) to a coworker, who suggested I see an…read moreopthalmologist. This was especially important, she thought, since I had recovered from a torn retina and really should seek specialists when it comes to my eyes. She was completely right, of course. I found Dr. Lam via positive Yelp and Google reviews. I'm so thankful that I did! He was personable and very thorough in his exam. He explained that the blurred vision in my post-surgical eye (from the pneumatic retinopexy/retina surgery) was in fact cataracts. He indicated that I was overdue for surgery since my vision was so negatively impacted. Dr. Lam did my cataract surgery about a month later. It was deemed a success with at least 20/20 vision. Unfortunately, there was blurring over my lens. Dr. Lam explained that I'd need a follow-up laser procedure. Dr. Lam did this laser surgery, a capsulotomy, a few days ago. After resting/napping later that afternoon, I opened my eyes and had clear, unencumbered vision out of my 2x surgery eye! This is the first time I've had at least 20/20 since 1st grade! It's been a long 13 month journey with two eye surgeries and 1 minor procedure, but thankfully, my vision is even better than it was. Dr. Lam is very experienced. In my opinion, he uses tools to accurately and fully assess one's eyes. I felt 100% comfortable with him at all times (a little less with some Medical Technicians if I'm being honest..). He's answered all questions, often fully explaining/anticipating questions even before I have a chance to ask. He also approached treatment more conservatively; for example, he recommended waiting several months post-cataract surgery before having the capsulotomy since lasering too early could re-tear my retina. My capsulotomy was nearly 13 months after my retinal surgery. I'm thankful to Dr. Lam and have great confidence in his abilities! I'm so happy to have found such a capable opthalmologist.

After an examination Dr. Lam told me 'your vision is pretty good but we will fine tune it'. This was the downfall of my vision. After the second adjustment my vision was completely different. The distance and reading vision did not match as before. We did a third adjustment and the results were different again. The distance vision was good and matched. I had little intermediate vision and poor reading vision. At this point I could do a fourth adjustment but had no guarantee of improved results. I decided to do the lock in knowing that at least my distance would be good. When I told DR. Lam that the first adjustment was the best, he snapped at me and said it was do to it being a new lens. This was an expensive folly and I was the recipient of the joke

His diagnosis have been consistently complete and accurate over the years. And he tells you the truth in a very compassionate way. I have Stage IV cancer and the meds I take are accelerating cataract progression. Dr. Ros diagnosed the problem some time ago and has been monitoring the changes. He recently scheduled the cataract removal surgery. He told me that cataracts are the one disease I'm experiencing that medical science can cure 100%. I love that, especially since Stage IV cancer is not considered curable. Dr. Ros knew exactly what I needed to hear to put me at ease about the surgery and he took the time to talk about it. His kindness is not limited to his patients. I've come into his office several times to find that his receptionist had her child there with her because her sitter let her down. Not many bosses would allow their employee to bring their child to work even in an emergency. He even set up an area where the little one could play with various toys he had in the office. When he came into the reception area between patients, he'd toss the toddler in the air to make her laugh. So not only is he a great doctor but he's a great human being as well.

Dr. Raichand gave me a thorough exam, was kind, gentle, and friendly. We collaborated together on the plan of action, which struck me as a wonderful approach to patient care. I felt like my concerns were truly heard, and Dr. Raichand took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring I understood each step of the way. When I mentioned I had been googling and using other sources to "diagnose myself" he didn't bat an eye, and pulled out a visual aid to show me exactly what was going on with my eyes, and why my google diagnoses was not accurate. This collaborative approach left me feeling confident and reassured about my treatment plan. He collaborated with me on medications, making sure my insurance and price point were taken into account, and explained exactly how to use the medication, asking me if I needed additional information. Bathrooms located on the floor were absolutely pristine in cleanliness... Overall, the experience was seamless and supportive from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Raichand and their team for anyone looking for compassionate and thorough care. I woke up today two days after medication and my eyes are back to healthy!
