My experience with Dr. Oakey was easily one of the best I've had at any specialist's office. From…read morethe start, the receptionist was courteous and friendly, and the wait time was negligible. What really sets Dr. Oakey apart is his dedication. He doesn't rush his patients; he takes the time to teach and explain because he genuinely cares. In fact, he actually called me a couple of hours after my appointment to share an additional finding he'd thought of after I left. Most importantly, he corrected a previous diagnosis I had received from both an optometrist and a prior retina specialist. Having the "cloud" of AMD removed--and being told I don't need AREDS--was a massive relief. After doing my own research, I found his diagnosis to be spot-on. It's clear he's more interested in patient health than just making money off the Medicare system. I will refer him to anyone in a heartbeat.

I injured my cornea on the Saturday before Memorial Day, 2024. I went to the urgent care and the…read moredoctor couldn't see anything too grievously concerning, but made me promise to see an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.  I called several clinics on Sunday and Monday but couldn't get ahold of anyone until Tuesday. I spoke with Brittany at the OC Retina Center, and she said that I was in a kind of bind, as I'd not been given a referral from my primary care provider, yet couldn't come in and pay out of pocket because the clinic did take my insurance. I drove around trying to speak with someone in my provider network when Brittany called me back and said she'd get me in with some pending approval status. She had done everything she could to get me to see a doctor in a clinic fairly close to my home. And she gave me an appointment with an excellent specialist, Dr. Esther Kim. I was able to see Dr. Esther Kim on that Tuesday and she identified that I'd lost pressure in my cornea and would need sutures to stem the damage. She scheduled me for surgery for the next day, completed the surgery herself, and it all went very well. She also noted that I'd had some retina fluid build-up following the blow and that I'd also need an injection to clear that up. I told her that we'd had a family trip to Kauai planned and she gave me the injection in time for me to travel with my family.  During my trip, I was frightened by some symptoms and was again able to speak with Brittany, who knew my case and was willing to receive images of the symptoms. She assured me that, while frightening, the symptoms were fairly normal. She then spoke with the doctor and was remarkably matter-of-fact and reassuring in that moment of crisis. They called in some drops that would help with my eye sensitivity and I was able to enjoy the trip. The sutures have been removed and the other concerning symptoms seem to be resolving. I'm feeling quite grateful to Dr. Kim, to Brittany, and to the other staffers. I may have some issues that need tending in the future, which is concerning, but I have confidence in the OC Retina Center and trust that they'll do their best to attend to any forthcoming issues.

I have to trust the person who is doing the lasering, and the Doctor here was great. It took about 15 minutes of lasering, and it stung a little everytime they lasered. The scariest part was taking two needle shots right into the eye. I actually cried a little and a few minutes later i was getting two needles right into the eye to numb the eye before lasering.

I've shown her a few highly edited photos of myself with my desired results. I originally chose Dr. Erb because her before / after results were the best I've seen. And after meeting with her via Zoom, I knew I'd found my Oculoplastic surgeon. She was extremely thorough during the interview, answering questions I've not even asked yet, and knew what I was going for. She went through the procedure with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring that I understood fully what to expect. Every question was answered, absolutely NOTHING was rushed. I felt extremely comfortable knowing I was in good hands. And Dr. Erb was so personable; I felt like I was the only patient in the world! On the day of surgery, I met with her staff, who were very accommodating, friendly and comforting (Gina is a riot!). They made me feel at ease before and after the surgery. Dr. Erb gave me some medication to induce sleep, and before I knew it, I was out. The procedure itself was pain-free. I was pretty groggy after surgery, and I can't remember too much. My healing from Day 0 was uneventful: no problems and no complications, just normal bruising and swelling, typical for someone my age. I'm pretty much a slow healer; I iced for the first week and a half to two weeks until I returned to Irvine for suture removal. The stitches were removed without a hitch (and felt amazing!), and now let the true healing begin! I'm now at one month+, and the results are incredible. The results look EXACTLY like my projected photos. I have zero complaints! I understand its only been a month, and my lids will continue to heal and de-swell. But if these results are any indication of what the final results will be, man oh man, I will re-name my first-born "Melanie"! Dr. Erb is extremely skilled in what she does, and she has great bedside manners. She truly listens to your wants and needs, and will do her best to keep you happy. Choosing Dr. Erb was a life-changing decision --- I can't recommend her enough!! I was always self-conscious of my eyes, and now I've never been happier. My only regret is that I wish I've gotten this done in my younger years. That, and I wish I had more eyes so she can do those, too! Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Einstein, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb -- wow!

From the moment I called to make the appointment, her and her staff was always very attentive and kind. The only time I was nervous during this process was that generally you're told you're supposed to get at least 3 consults before making a decision and I didn't; but I already knew it was going to be a waste of time if I went for other consults. As many reviews have pointed out, Dr Erb is double board certified in Oculoplastics surgery and ophthalmology. I knew I was in good hands and I'm so glad I was right! From the very beginning to even now, Dr Erb and her staff Gina and Annika were always there. Dr Erb was so fun to work with and so caring, attentive, very detailed, and really listened to my concerns. Their pre and post op instructions are really helpful and informative. I always felt prepared and all questions answered. I followed their instructions meticulously and my recovery could not have been easier. I'm 8 months post op, and Dr Erb is still making sure that I'm happy with my results. And I am!
