Found this gem of experts here on Yelp! You need retina specialists!? Look no further…read more Other reviews mention long wait times! ITS WORTH IT! Trust me. Brought my mother in law for a follow up for vision loss experienced due to diabetes. Therefore, she has significant damage on both eyes from personal negligence from a doctor in Mexico. I was able to get an appointment on the same day with Dr. Caleb Ng! This doctor is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain in great detail and also answered the endless questions we had. He was very empathetic and honest with her diagnosis. She unfortunately lost vision completely from one eye (that happened way before here). However, with proper care and if she had came here; this would have been prevented. Needless to say, she got an injection in her other eye which needs treatment to prevent further damage from diabetes. I appreciate Dr. Caleb's honesty, professionalism and knowledge. He was able to communicate in Spanish with my mother in law and she felt more comfortable. Also, if you go on the website; you're able to see information of where he went to school. His experience really reflects his expertise in the field. Will be returning back for treatment.

He asked if I had any concerns about my eyes and shared his examination findings. I never felt rushed and appreciated his sincere concerns about my eyes. This year my wife will also become a patient after seeing how pleased I am with the Mosier Eye Center organization and management.

The staff (Diana, Daisy and Michael) are consistently wonderful- they're always professional, welcoming, and efficient, which makes the check-in process a breeze. Overall this place is fantastic- you can tell the entire team truly cares about their patients. As for Dr. Nguyen she is simply amazing. She takes the time to be thorough, answers every questions, and provides expert care with a personal touch. We've been going to them for 7 years now and we couldn't be happier.

I first came to Visual Effects Optometry about eight years ago to get my first set of prescription…read moreeyeglasses before I was about to lose my vision insurance. I saw Dr. Dang back then and got the standard set of eye tests, and he found the parameters for my prescription. They have a large selection of frames, and I ended up with a nice pair of Oakleys that I still have to this day. Since I no longer have vision insurance, I have gotten new lenses a few times over the years from Costco. Since I got the frames here, I stop by once every few years when something doesn't feel right, or if the nose pads seem worn. Diane always seems to be at the front desk, and amazingly remembers me every time I walk in the door even though it is pretty infrequent. She is always so friendly and helpful, and adjusts my frames perfectly every time. I really should get a quote for new lenses from them next time, maybe it is not that much of a difference even without insurance. Dr. Dang was great, and Diane is the best. I would recommend Visual Effects Optometry.

Do you know how rare it is for somebody to voluntarily write a positive review without being…read moreprompted or asked to do so? My family and I have been seeing Dr. Chao and his team for many years at both the Irvine and Fullerton locations - they are simply outstanding. In the past, we've done cataract surgery (for my dad), routine checkups, and most recently for myself, PRK surgery. In every instance, we've been absolutely impressed with Dr. Chao's team of professional, knowledgeable, and kind staff members. In 9/2020, I went to get a consultation about Lasik vs. PRK surgery with Dr. Chao. He patiently walked me through the relative advantages of each procedure and which was the right one for me. My PRK procedure (10/2020) was incredibly smooth; some of my friends had less than ideal experiences with other practitioners, but I'm happy to report my procedure and recovery process went perfectly. Dr. Chao and his team did an amazing job of caring for me, carefully explaining what I should expect, and always making me feel like I was being treated with the highest level of expertise. I just came in for my three-month follow-up and could not be happier I decided to work with Dr. Chao. It's rare to find such a wonderful team of medical professionals. I genuinely enjoy coming in to see Dr. Chao! My advice is to listen to the onslaught of five-star reviews (especially those from people who actually work in healthcare) and book an appointment with Dr. Chao's office. Don't go anywhere else - this is the type of care we should get from every single doctor.
