    Dr Wu and the entire technical and administrative support staff are outstanding. The medical result was excellent.

    I had a great experience with Dr. Yang. I had an early follow up appointment. An early morning 7:45…read moreappointment. The office was almost empty, maybe 2 other patients in the entire office. I was the only one in my waiting area, the previous patient had been attended to by his medical assistant. Dr Yang came out directly and treated me without his assistant taking me first, when I noted/asked 'do you do your own prep-work?' -- he said 'well i know people on early appointments are usually trying to get to work or somewhere else, so rather than have you wait I decided to do the prep-work myself because the medical assistant is busy with another patient. Beyond his pro-activeness, Dr Yang was professional, patient and competent and had good 'bed-side' manner. I highly recommend Dr Yang!

    I am hoping someone had or have not had a similar experience:…read more Bear with me - broke a pair of glasses less than a year after getting them. My fault. Clumsy. I called to say just that-----I broke them and i needed to get a replacement pair. Not a new prescription. The appointment rep looked up my info and said the optical shop I got my glasses at was no longer in network and that i needed a new eye exam. This appointment took months to book which is the norm now. Got to my appointment, checked in, got seen. Then, I received a bill. Called the billing department to discuss, whoever I spoke to was clearly working from home and basically no help at all trying to explain what had happened. Too noisy and too busy shooshing kids and pets in the background. Got frustrated. I actually said F U on the phone. Hung up. Brought the new prescription at a different optical shop--The Optician asked for my insurance info----same as on the phone and going in person....the Optician was the one who saw that the prescription wasn't needed. Too soon. I explained exactly what happened and she said all she can do is order the exact same prescription, I was trembling with frustration - not at her. BECAUSE that is exactly what i told the appointment rep when i called months ago. She said the initial appointment rep should have seen that it was too soon for a new eye exam before booking the appointment and should have just order me a new pair. No need for an eye exam. I was not told this when I made the appointment over the phone, because again the person who made the appointment was also working from home like the billing person and probably not paying attention to what I was saying or looking at my insurance information in their system. Even if the first person missed my insurance information over the phone, the check in person should have seen it was too soon. I would have preferred to be turned away when I got there than to be billed for a non needed exam. How come the phone person AND the check in person didn't see my insurance information? AND me saying in person and over the phone that I just needed a replacement pair didn't register? Thanks for reading my vent. Calling tomorrow and asking for a supervisor or manager.

    I just did the math, and realized that I had surgery at what was then known as Massachusetts Eye…read moreand Ear Infirmary, 38 years ago; my surgeon, Gregory Randolph, MD, and MEEI staff were fantastic, then; I was entirely cured by Dr. Randolph, and I've remained that way for 38 years. To say that I am a grateful patient, is an understatement. Here I am, 38 years later, and I remember Dr. Randolph's care, expertise, thoroughness, compassion, and concern for my well-being. Little did I know, then, that Dr. Randolph would become one of the leading thyroid surgeons in the WORLD. I've been back to Mass Eye and Ear several times, since then, to see a variety of specialists in ophthalmology, ENT, Facial and Plastic Surgery, and optometry. Every experience was over the top, and what you would expect of one of the preeminent eye, head, and neck hospitals in the world, and one of Harvard Medical School's flagship, teaching and research hospitals. In December 2025, I fell and had multiple injuries, including a fractured nose. Rather than see a plastic surgeon, who treats patients from head to toe, I opted, instead, to be seen by a Facial and Plastics Surgeon at Mass Eye and Ear. I was referred by a friend who is "in the know" in Boston medical circles, to Dr. David Shaye, who took outstanding care of me, and who managed to work some miracle in the Operating Room, where he returned my crooked nose (from the fall) to its original shape, without any incisions (or blood). Recently, I was seen for an annual eye exam, by optometrist, Dr. Leah Margolis, who performed the most thorough annual eye exam that I have ever had. Dr. Margolis' care, was consistent with her thoroughness and efficiency. She came up with a brilliant solution for my reading, that was a one-off, stroke of brilliance. I don't know how Mass Eye and Ear, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Newton Wellesley Hospital do it, but they are the best of the best, and they have the best doctors, nurses, and other clinical staff (most notably, PA's, NP's, and CRNA's).

    It is a privilege to write about Dr. Sang and her team. Not only is Dr. Sang an elite and amazing…read moredoctor, but she shows compassion and really cares. Sometimes, that makes you feel better and is more needed than the treatments! At a time when I feared losing my vision due to macular degeneration, she was reassuring and supportive , and always answers my never ending list of questions, and with patience. Another side of Dr. Sang that I recently learned about is her mentorship. There are a group of young college grads working there who are taking a gap year and preparing to get into medical school. She is so giving and proud of how many of these interns have gone on to great careers. Each time you go for an appointment, it's a "major production." There are so many steps in the process and I have come to understand why it takes so long -- they take no shortcuts! There is a huge staff that supports Dr. Sang and each one has a specialty, from the people who answer the phone and make appts. to the people who do complicated eye scans. I don't envy the appt. people as everyone seems to want a different time -- including me -- and it's hard to make everyone happy, although they try. I guess my only complaint is that I wish I could turn back Dr. Sang's clock about 25 years so that she'd be in practice for another 25+ years. While she is around, I feel incredibly lucky for her to be my doctor!

    Dr. Sang is the best doctor of any type that I have ever had. She is extraordinarily thorough,…read morehighly skilled, and takes as much time as necessary to go over every detail. She is also extremely warm, compassionate and can explain complex problems in a very clear way. I have been seeing her for many years ever since she did emergency laser surgery on me after an accident. Yes, sometimes the wait is long, but you are told in advance how much time to allow for your appointment. It is absolutely worth the wait if you want the most comprehensive, experienced evaluation/follow up. All the staff are great. Monica is a gem and all the technicians and students revere Dr. Sang, for good reason. I always take Dr. Sang's recommendations regarding other aspects of my health as well. She looks at my general health and reviews all my test results and gives me solid, thoughtful advice.

    Base on my personal experience from consultation to recovery:…read more Consultation appt was done in Milford closer to home. Location was great, staffs were really friendly, wait time can be long as it seemed that they were trying to fit in as many patients as possible. Dr Patel was pleasant and the assistants were all helpful and friendly. However, I felt rushed by my appointment. The following up email from the lasik team was always very efficient and helpful guidance to what to expect, videos of the procedure, the dos and don'ts for recovery and other additional information were sent out by email. The lasik team was able to answer questions via email. I felt a bit more at ease knowing what to expect from the surgery. A month before the surgery date, I was informed that my doctor won't be doing my surgery. I have had to reschedule my surgery. It was a bit unexpected since I have already taken those dates off from my workplace. Anyhow, I was able to get my surgery done a week before my original appointment. It was done by Dr Brenner instead. On Monday of my surgery week, I received my surgery time and more details by email. Parking can be a pain especially there isn't any designated parking lot for Boston Vision. Meters are everywhere so you can park on the street. Upon arrival, there was a bit of waiting time. Then more testings done. Met with Dr Brenner after one or two testings. They finalized and corrected something important in the contract regarding of my right eye being the distance eye and left eye to be the eye for reading since I was doing mono vision lasik. Dr Brenner was nice and easy to talk to. Answered a couple of my concerns and questions. From then on, they asked me to sit in the waiting area and to be called in for surgery. Then an assistant came back and ask me to re do one of the eye exams coz they didn't get the results or right readings. Went back to re do the test then I was being asked to sit in the lounge room to be called for the surgery. Snacks and water or drinks were provided. As I walked into the surgical room, lots of bright lights above me. I laid down on a flat bed and immediately the assistants put some numbing eye drops on my eyes. Everything kind of just went really fast. One after an other. My left eye definitely needed more numbing drops as I asked. So they went to my right eye and started there first. I could see the whole procedure. Tool to open my eye lids and kept them open. I think they said it took about 12 mins for both eyes. But the most traumatic experience I had was with the left eye, I could feel the pressure pressing against my eye, the blurred vision as they lifted up the flap, the smoking or burning smell of the lasik when I stared at the green dots or light, the tool they adjust the flap back on.... I could feel it all. But the right eye not so much, just the huge pressure and the blurry vision. After the procedure was over, I was guided to the other room, and out the waiting room already. I was given written instructions to follow up the day of, the day after to a week of what to avoid and what to do for recovery process. Eye drop medication to apply, Artificial tear drops, eye shields and protection sunglasses too all including in the take home kit. The first night was the hardest, no face wash and avoid water in the eyes. Slept with the eye shield and applied eye medication. I would recommend to stick with everything that they told you! It's been finally a week, my vision is still a bit blurry but 20/20 vision according to Dr Patel (from the one week follow up appt). Needs to be patient with the healing process. Overall, I am glad I did it despite the discomfort and inconvenience for a couple of weeks or months.
