I started seeing Dr Gayle right before the Covid Crisis regarding Styes in both of my eyes. I had…read morebeen to other opthamologists who did not help much because after treating them they came right back. Dr Gayle who is has great warm caring personality treated them for the last few months and finally hopefully they are gone! I was instructed by her to do 2 eye washes a day with some medicated eye wash (has tree tea oil) which has really helped too. I recommend anyone who has eye problems or even just needs a complete eye exam to make an appointment to see Dr. Gayle! She is the best of the BEST! Numero UNO!

I saw Dr. Shimokaji for about 10 years as did my son. Thought she was great. Was always put off by…read morethe $250 annual administration fee but I paid it as I could afford it. She was good with my son and while I feel she over tested me for glaucoma (with no family history) I went along with it every 6 months even though the test always came back normal. When my income dropped I qualified for a lower premium through Covered California, the same Blue Shield PPO insurance where she is listed as a provider. Blue Shield assured me it is the same coverage so I was shocked when I went for my exam after paying the $250 for the "administration fee" and the was charged $415 for the exam as she denied taking my revised insurance. So, basically $665 for one appointment! Needless to say, I found a new doctor. They take my insurance no problem, no annual processing fee. I should note, that my other doctors have no issue with my insurance. The new place I found also charges half what Dr. Shimokaji charges for a refraction prescription. While I had a nice long run with Dr. Shimokaji, she just priced me out of her practice. I wish I had searched for someone sooner, it would have saved me a lot of money.

I just met Dr Lawrence Chan today - Brilliant! One of the most thorough, committed, detail…read moreconscious, explained exams in my entire life! I have been here over the years, and all the staff is great - this happened to be an especially outstanding appointment - Thank you Doctor and all the great staff that had the appointment proceed in a smooth progression today from preparatory tests and eye drops to Dr exam and follow up appointment setting. In my case today, I was having disturbing flashes in my visual field, so Dr did thorough exam to screen for an retinal tear or detachment - fortunately none, tho I will go for a few follow ups to monitor. This was my 5th appointment in 7 years. Outstanding, excellent patient care every time I've been here - today was an especial standout - highly recommended! When we have an eye concern, we want the best of all possible care - Thank you WCR Corte Madera! :)

Three Anytime somebody says I owe them money that's over five years old. I do my due diligence to research it and pay it if it was unpaid. I cannot say anything bad about the doctors himself. They've always been great and professional.

I read a lot of Yelp reviews before interviewing two cataract surgeons. Dr. Shin's negative…read morereviews all had to do with personality; unlike the other surgeons reviewed, no one complained about his outcomes. That seemed worth following up. I found Dr. Shin matter-of-fact and knowledgeable. He knows what he's doing and is ready to get on with it. During the process of preparing for and following up on two cataract surgeries, I had lots of questions, and always got the support I needed from his staff, and when necessary from him. He knew I was nervous about the surgery and took the time to allay my concerns, including scheduling an extra visit. I was a little concerned at first about having state-of-the-art surgery in a charming 100 year old building, but in retrospect it was a much more comfortable experience than a hospital setting, and probably more sanitary. Having to fast the day of the surgery, I wasn't thrilled to have my two procedures scheduled for mid-day. It made more sense when his scheduler told me that Dr. Shin does the patients first who are least able to tolerate fasting. This is someone who worries about his patients. My wife's cataract surgeon had her come in for follow-ups the day after surgery, the next week, the next month, and so on. Dr. Shin saw me the day after, and then said to see my regular opthamologist in a few months. Some might find that off-putting. I was reassured by his attitude that this is routine stuff. OK, you know what to expect. Dr. Shin might not suit everyone, but if you want your cataracts fixed skillfully and efficiently, he's the guy.

I went to Dr. Chin for a chalazion on my eyelid that was blurring my vision. At the first visit he…read morewas confident and clear: it was pressing on my eye, and I should try compresses and ointment, then schedule an excision if that didn't work. I followed his instructions exactly. It went downhill from there. I was called in on a day he doesn't do procedures, told there was only a 50/50 chance he'd actually do it, and nearly charged for an unnecessary second consult. Staff falsely claimed I'd reported pain. When I finally saw him, he contradicted his own diagnosis, said my blurry vision was just my glasses, hadn't reviewed his notes, and seemed reluctant to do the procedure he'd told me to schedule. In fact, he said I think this is scar tissue at this point. If I do this, you might just have more scar tissue. This completely contradicted what he told me on the first exam. The excision itself was worse: not enough numbing, nothing to brace my head against as the blade came toward my open eye until I asked, and a wobbly headrest. I could feel the cutting, and when I said so, he dismissed it. In fact, when the Q-tip he was using to clean it afterwards hurt like hell he said oh it's only a Q-tip. And I said well I don't care what it is. It hurts. I was on the verge of a panic attack. I had to sit with my eyelid in a clamp, flipped open and had to watch a sharp blade repeatedly come towards my eye. You really gotta be numb for that! The procedure worked, but only because I pushed for it and survived it. My adrenal system is wrecked.

Dr. Shin is a stellar ophthalmologist. With my thyroid cancer/disease, I'm constantly following-up…read moreon my thyroid eye disease (TED) and everything else in between. I don't want those bulging eyes unless I see something overpriced/inflation like the commercial lady lol. Although, I've always wanted bigger eyes. If you see someone with those bulging eyes, tell them to get it checked out if you care about them - not normal looking. Dr. Shin is very thorough and consistent; he sends a report to my PCP every year. With MyChart these days, everything is so convenient. I'm like an open book with my thyroid health, so ask me anything. It mostly affects women in their 20's, but some men are affected, too. 'Til we meet again ~ stay healthy and see you on Yelp (SYOY)! Fun fact: Yelp started with the CEO looking for good doctors around here.

Second time here for an appointment. The first appointment, they made me wait in the lobby for…read morealmost an hour. They clearly forgot about me until I complained - blamed it on "a new system." Miraculously, they called my name two minutes later. Came in for a persistent red eye - over a month. Dr. said she could give me a steroid but wanted me to take artificial tears for a month to see if it cleared up. It did not. So now I'm here again. The receptionist asked for my insurance. Told her she should have it on file from just a month ago. She said they implemented a "new system" and it didn't carry over. Hmmm, that sounds familiar. I pulled out my phone to show her my digital insurance card. She says that won't work with the "new system" and only hard copies will work. Huh? However, she was somehow able to check me in and take my co-pay. After those hoops, I've now been sitting in exam room for an hour when someone finally came in & said your Dr. is in a surgery that's taking longer than expected. Another Dr. will see you When, I asked? I'm not sure, he said. How much longer will I need to wait? I just need a Rx for steroid drops to clear up my red eye. I'm not sure, he said. Still waiting... Needless to say, I will be on the hunt for a new ophthalmologist if I need to see one again.
