I had to add Dr. Harada on YELP because she was worth visiting for my eye exam and I am surprised I could not find her listed on Yelp as a business.
In the last 2 years I have seen 4 different doctors and while 1 of them knew how to get me proper Rx that fit very well and comfortably, that one felt the need to humiliate me with an issue of dry eyes. My Yelp Review for doctor at Hawaii Laser Vision in Honolulu says it all. But going back to Dr. Harada...
Doc was extremely helpful with issues and made more sense of my concerns how she explained things was not humiliating at all, in fact she was direct and detailed with the possible causes of dry eyes. I was very honest about how often I wear my contacts and she prescribed a specific eye drops for me, she was also very intellectual about my concerns and offered ways to avoid situations of allergies and dry eyes. Helpful home remedies for relief and explained how issues may be corrected or not at all.
When we discussed lasik and other corrective options, she was direct about age and why it may or may not work well. She was elaborate about how some patients can adjust to certain types of corrective lenses in each eye to assist with aging eyes and how others cannot adapt to it therefore end up wearing glasses anyway as they get older.
I appreciated how compassionate Dr. Harada was in my case and how she helped me understand the do's, the dont's, and the why's without humiliating or making assumptions of why my issues are a cause for concern and how terrible I am at avoiding dry eyes.
I hope to continue seeing Dr. Harada for all my vision needs! I highly recommend her for anyone seeking an amazing doctor!
Her staff are very familiar with all the services offered at this eye clinic. When I walked in to make an appointment I brought information I didn't need at the moment but the office manager prepped a file for me to get my documents completed early and I am very grateful she did that because when I showed up to my appointment I forgot my card. Doctor had another staff member who equipped me with insurance benefits and other useful information for future reference! I'm new to the vision insurance I have and appreciated the tips I received to help me along the way! read more
