I love Dr. Tan! I was introduced to her by my cousin as I was in need of LASIK surgery and…read moreapparently, there is nobody better in the eye industry to do it than this woman herself. From the get-go, I knew that she was a pleasant woman that I could trust. She answered all my questions with advanced knowledge and patience. She also performed a flawless job on my eyes and now I have 20/20 vision. I see her on an annual basis for my follow-up checkups and she remains the warm professional that she is.

I had a hard time finding an ophthalmologist that has a sub-specialty in pediatrics. I have come to…read moreknow that there were only a handful of these specialists and not all hospitals have them. After going through the tedious process of calling hospitals, reading countless parenting forums, and checking our HMO provider for accredited hospitals, I have discovered the Asian Eye Institute. I immediately scheduled an appointment with Dr Norman Eric Fajardo, one of the two pediatric ophthalmologists in the institute, so we can finally dispel that anxiety that my husband and I were having about our son's eyes. Dr Fajardo is highly recommended by parents from the forums that I have read. They said that he is nice and very patient in dealing with kids, something that I would like to be assured of since he is about to examine my son's eyesight and we all know how difficult it easy to tackle toddlers during checkups. The day of my son's checkup came and we were relieved to have found out that the Asian Eye Institute at Rockwell has a family-friendly setup. We spent four hours at the Asian Eye as we have to go through a lot of stations before finally meeting with Dr Fajardo. It's a good thing that the waiting area is large enough to accommodate patients and their companions. There are several couches and a TV to make waiting bearable. The floors are carpeted which guaranteed the safety of kids running around the area. They also have a pantry where visitors can have a drink or have a cup of coffee. They also have a room designated as a play area for little patients which they have filled with toys, books and tiny chairs and tables. The doctors and their staff are used to dealing with little kids and they already know what to do when a child wails or go berserk at the sight of their instruments and eye drops. Dr Fajardo made a careful and thorough examination of my son's eyes. He even examined my eyes and that of my husband as he explained everything about our child's eyes and he was able to debunk everything that other people were saying about our son's eyes. It gave us peace of mind to finally have an expert advice on our little boy's eyesight and we were finally assured that there is nothing wrong with him. Should you need to have your eyes or that of your loved one, call the Asian Eye Institute to schedule an appointment and you are guaranteed to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

My brother got into an accident once and his eye was compromised and I'm so grateful to Dr. Cheng because he essentially saved my brother's eye and ensured that his vision wouldn't be compromised in any way. He was also integral in overseeing the success of my LASIK eye operation under the supervision of Dr. Alnette Tan. Dr. Cheng's resume is astounding but beyond that, what he will provide you with is high quality eye care and a kind, patient bedside manner that no training in the world can provide. It simply comes from the heart.

In 2011, I made up my mind about having had enough of living with glasses and contacts. I consulted with my cousin who happens to be an ophthalmologist and he recommended that I set an appointment with American Eye Center and Dr. Alnette Tan to get the process jumpstarted. I followed the required procedures and fast forward to four years later, my 20/20 vision is still intact. The place is sanitary, professional, classy and efficient. I come back every year for a checkup.

Growing up with a congenital heart condition can be quite challenging. For instance, I've passed…read morethe corporate exams and interviews in many A-list companies only to fail in their physical tests. All the three big companies that I eventually worked for asked for a medical certificate from my old cardiologist and they all imposed certain disclaimers on my employee insurance benefits. Now that I'm older and running my own business, I have no need for medical certificates, besides my old cardiologist had since passed away. However, as I approach my middle age years, I need constant medical monitoring, especially in the matters of my cardiovascular health. In my search for a new cardiologist, I was led to Dr. Andrea Orel Valle. She's an Interventional Pediatric Cardiologist. Essentially, she's a heart doctor for babies and kids. So why is she attending to an old patient like me? Well, that's because I have a congenital heart defect, meaning I have it since birth. A product of the University of the Philippines Intarmed Program, Doc Wawi, as she is fondly called by patients and friends, is a smart young cardiologist. That's why her patients -- including me -- find her cool and very relaxed. She has none of that typically boring clinical semantics when talking to people. But don't let her young looks fool you, she has the real-world experience and international qualifications to boot. Doc Wawi's main clinic is at Room 205 of the Faculty Medical Arts Building (FMAB) in UP-PGH. She's there from Tuesdays to Thursdays at 10:00am until 12:00 noon. Then, also on Saturdays from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
