    It's now been over a year since I had lasik surgery. It's still a decision I regret. Had Dr. McMann actually asked questions, educated me, and properly advised me - instead of scheduling for surgery to make a quick dollar. I suggest doing all your research. Get referred by your primary eye doctor & their recommendation. Not the ophthalmologist you googled or was told by a friend who gave you a coupon. Look up the positives and negatives. When all your looking for information about lasiks, you rarely find the downfalls until it's too late. Ask about dry eyes. Light sensitivity, halos, night vision. This was the last text to Dr. Mann which I never got a response. Aloha Dr. McMann It's been almost 12 weeks since my surgery. Looking back, it's something that probably never should've been done. I've spoken to several different optometrist & ophthalmologist and they were all surprised you never trialed me in contacts. Especially since I've never experienced mono-vision. As a professional & a lasik specialist, this was your job to educate me. Even your optometrist and several of your employees told me they usually test patients in contacts before performing surgery. It's easier to trial clients to find out if they can function, adjust, or even like it. Unfortunately I learned this too late. What I'm also learning is what I wanted wasn't really attainable through lasiks. I was never going to be able to see perfectly near & far. When I asked you, if I would be able to shoot & edit before the surgery. This is when expectations & reality should've been presented to me. You told me I would be able to do everything I normally did. But that was not true. I had know idea what mono-vision was until you brought it up. Considering I'd never done it or heard of it. This should've been an indicator that maybe a trial in contacts would've been a better course of action. I trusted your judgement since you were the professional & the specialist. I am a photographer - this surgery has made my job infinitely harder. This surgery never made sense for me. I would've had to compromise my near vision to have perfect far vision. Which, if I'd been given the chance to trial mono vision, I could've avoided all this heartache. My eyes are a constant struggle. They don't like contacts. I wish everyday I never had this surgery. I went from one pair of glasses & no eye issues to 3 different prescription lenses & 4 different pair of glasses. One pair just so I can see without contacts. A pair to drive at night when wearing contacts, bifocals since my eyes have gotten worse since this surgery, and glasses so I can edit. My quality of life is much worse. All I do is complain about my eyes. I have constant issues with my eyes due to wearing contacts. My vision is off. It's a crap shoot when I wake up, if they will work correctly. I know I will eventually have to have surgery again to get myself somewhat back to normal and most likely need glasses in the end. But right I am beyond frustrated. I need you to be aware where I stand. I'm still figuring it out the best course of action for me.

    Are wait times better now in 2022? The overall experience is very important to me and waiting for over an hour for each appointment does not align with a great overall experience.

    Wait times unfortunately do vary. We carve out some dedicated times for refractive surgery to try and limit wait times and we are successful at that most times, but unfortunately things like semi emergent patients can appear at any time. Dr. McMann…

The first time was a good experience we covered all concerns. Maybe because there was an intern observing I transferred all my records. The second visit was horrible. I had a long wait and nobody could find my lab, x-rays and other pertinent records which the doctor ordered during my first visit. I had to email them what I had after waiting an hour on the exam chair while they looked for them. The doctor didn't seem very concerned about the results and just recommended to get new glasses with the new prescription and didn't spend time on my other concerns. He kept leaving the exam room while the nurse looked for my files. If all you need is a new prescription, it serves its purpose. But if you have other concerns, you will have to advocate for yourself. I also asked for my file and never got it. The girls at the front desk made me wait for an answer on when I can get it while they talked about lunch. Overall experience? Very unprofessional practice. They need to train their staff better. Otherwise my new eyeglass prescription is very good but I still had to go to a specialist to assess my other concerns which I thought they were going to help me with.

    As I planned to have both of my eyes done over the next few months, for laser glaucoma surgery, i…read morebegan going to Dr. Tokunaga (who I was referred to by my regular eye doctor Dr. Chan at Honolulu Vision Care Center in Hawaii-Kai) at the Aloha Vision Consultants location in Aiea as it was closer to where I now live. I went to both pre and post exams from September 2024 to my final follow-up in June 2025. Several of the post operation exams were performed by Dr. Soriano with the final follow-up exam appointment done by Dr. Tokunaga. Besides having the laser glaucoma surgery, i opted also for near AND far vision corrections AND the procedure to lessen the eye pressure from the mild glaucoma that I have had for a few years. Yay! No need for use of my gas permeable contacts ANYMORE that i have used since 1985 and glasses before than since the 5th grade! My first surgery took place on Veterans Day on November 12, 2024 on my left eye (as that eye was my strong eye) since i would without the use of glasses or contacts until my next eye surgery to my right eye in February, the 24th to be exact. The actual eye surgeries for both eyes took place at an eye surgery center on the second floor of the Dole Cannery Square in Iwilei. My right eye post-surgery did not' 'heal' as quickly as my left eye surgery back in November, so I had to go to one more post follow up exams... which by that time, my vision had noticeably improved ! The feeling of warmth and compassion by EVERY staff member was so genuine and not a 'put on show' that when I had my last follow up with Dr Tokunaga in mid-June, I (sincerely) shook his hand and really wanted to break down and cry to tell him how welcomed i felt with he and his staff! I know, I know...I'm a man at 66... but hey, I still have feelings you know... haha... You know that i now live in Waipahu and not the east side... i did have strong thoughts of changing my eye exam location to here in Aiea. But I still also have my allegiance to Dr. Chan and staff at Hawaii-Kai where i have gone there since 2006.. so hence, I will still gladly make the drive to Hawaii Kai. But Aloha Vison Care Aiea ---- ALL OF YOU... deserve the compliments that i have to talk about! btw, parking there at that medical building complex is $1 per 30 minutes...no need to stamp anything at the doctor's office...

    Dr. Steven Rhee's response was wholly inadequate. It was unnecessary, unpersuasive, and failed to…read moreresolve any aspect of the situation. His conduct reflects a clear lack of interest in addressing a serious operational failure within his practice. As anticipated, his response relied on the same pattern of excuses and justifications he presented on the morning of December 13 at his Hawaiian Eye Clinic in Wahiawa. Dr. Steven Rhee had more than twenty-four hours to contact me and address the incident in a calm, professional, and non-confrontational manner. He failed to do so. This failure indicates an absence of accountability, as well as a lack of regret or acknowledgment of what occurred at his Wahiawa clinic. This entire incident was preventable. It arose from a failure to ensure that front desk personnel on duty the morning of Tuesday, December 13 were properly trained to interact with preoperative patients who are, by definition, often anxious, vulnerable, and physically compromised. I was in precisely that condition. The situation escalated only after his staff demonstrated negligence in handling required paperwork, which was not available at the scheduled start time of my 8:00 a.m. surgery. Under those circumstances, my response was a direct consequence of both the operational failure and my medical condition. The refusal to invest in adequate staff training, particularly where patient care and preoperative procedures are concerned, constitutes a systemic failure. When staff commit an avoidable error of this magnitude, they are obligated to respond with professionalism and corrective action. Instead, they abandoned professional standards. My reaction does not justify or excuse that conduct. In this instance, the patient was a disabled American military veteran, an individual who previously served in defense of the United States, its citizens, and its national interests. That fact heightens, rather than diminishes, the expectation of professional and respectful treatment. Dr. Steven Rhee's failure to correct his staff during the incident, and his decision to align himself with their conduct, is significant. It demonstrates a disregard for the patient and undermines any claim that patient care is his primary concern. The evidence supports a different conclusion: that financial considerations take precedence over patient welfare. If Dr. Steven Rhee genuinely prioritized his patients, and particularly disabled veterans, the conduct observed would not have occurred. There would have been no excuse-making, no deflection of responsibility, and no hostile or unprofessional behavior. Instead, the situation would have been addressed immediately, competently, and respectfully, restoring order and allowing the scheduled surgery to proceed. As a direct result of this failure, I did not receive the surgery for which I had waited nearly one year, despite the significant time and effort I invested in preparing for it. On the morning of Tuesday, December 13, at approximately 8:50 a.m., I was dismissed and sent home by Uber by the administrative head, identified as "Jocelyn." This incident represents the most severe failure of healthcare delivery I have experienced in over sixty years.
