Dr. Chang is incredibly skilled and explains everything in a way that makes you feel confident and informed. His associate, Dr. Evan Chen, was also wonderful--patient, professional, and very supportive during my visits. The entire Stanford ophthalmology team was organized and efficient, and the surgery itself was smooth and comfortable. My vision is now crystal clear. Truly outstanding care from both doctors.

Stanford in general is just a money machine and cares nothing about the patients. In brief, here…read moreare the main problems: - Wait 3+ months to get an appointment - Cannot schedule with any doctor, has to be from the limited pool they give you - They double-dip in billing and charge (1) for the facilities and (2) for the service. So each bill is crazy high. Check your EOB from your insurance and Stanford billing details to see how many services and CBT codes are there - The fellows are nice, but the doctor will spend at best 8-10 mins with you - And when all is said and done, when you want to get a copy of your medical records after you're done with your appointments and paid your bills, they will just ignore you. You message them on MyHealth and call the office and will get no answer back. Impossible to get a hold of clinical team in any way. Btw, their Guest Services is completely useless and will just ghost you to add insult to the injury. So overall, unless you have a very specific reason to go to Byers Institute, I'd say just stay clear.

I was then referred by one of my doctors to Stuart Seiff, and that was a HUGE mistake. He performed my second surgery and really mangled my face. At that point I thought to myself that the best and the brightest are going to be at Stanford. So I googled "stanford oculoplastic surgeon" and I found a true gem, Jonathan Kim. Not only did he PERSONALLY return my calls, he asked me to email him pictures of "the damage". I did so and he said that he would do the best he could. Every interaction I have had with Jonathan Kim has been positive. He is personal, prompt, professional and can I just say that his stitches are even more impressive than a sewing machine. His incisions are just as precise. He just performed his second surgery on me last Monday and while I have not healed yet, I am very optimistic that this could be the last surgery for this problem. If not, if I need one more surgery, it will be Jonathan Kim that does it. Without any doubt whatsoever. This man is the master of his craft.

As the day went on, the pain got worse and worse till I was basically holding my eye shut and hiding from any bright lights. My boyfriend called Dr. Fishman and saw me that day.

He gave me a prescription to protect my eye from bacteria as it healed, wrapped my eye to protect it and reassured me that my eye was going to be ok.

Before I start on the review I want to give the reader a little bit of background on my eye…read moresituation as well as some general info. I am generally healthy, 50ish male, who developed diplopia with no underlying cause (this apparently happens in a small percentage of people). I struggled to find good care for 1.5 years trying to get the problem diagnosed and treated. Fortunately my wife learned of Dr. Nyong'o via a strabismus subreddit! My experience with Dr. Nyong'o and his team at Crescendo MD (Amanda and Sal) was excellent. Before seeing Dr. Nyong'o, I spent over a year and a half in vain seeing or trying to see specialists to get my diplopia corrected - I wish I had known about Dr. Nyong'o sooner. His team provided me with excellent care and were available to answer all my questions and concerns as they arose. They will happily spend the time needed with a patient so that the patient has all the information they want or need to make informed decisions. This allowed me to have 100% confidence in him and his team as we proceeded toward strabismus surgery. The timeline from the initial appointment to actually having strabismus surgery was quite expedient (about 5 weeks). The surgical facility they use was excellent and is close to his office. The anesthesiologist for the surgery followed the trend of excellence of Dr. Nyong'o and his team - knowledgeable, communicative, and empathetic. The whole team has excellent bedside manors and is clearly an empathetic group. Post surgery follow up was straight forward and scheduling was easy (very unusual for a doctors office these days). I feel as if I can't say enough good things about this experience. I am now about 6 months post surgery with zero diplopia and I am back to being a fully functional human again. I also want to point out how straight forward the pricing and billing was - there are no surprise bills or anything like that here. In general everything is spelled out to the patient in a multitude of understandable ways. Most importantly I can see like a normal human again. I cannot thank Dr. Nyong'o or his team enough.

My mom has macular degeneration in both eyes, and her right eye is already blind because of the disease. Over the past year, the cataract in her left eye worsened significantly--she could no longer read newspapers or view images on her iPad, and she had to stop playing cards. Her macular specialist recommended cataract surgery; however, her regular eye doctor refused to perform it, believing she was too old and that the risks were too high. We were very discouraged and began seeking a second opinion. I found Dr. Liu on Yelp. After examining my mom's left eye, he was confident that he could perform the surgery safely. The surgery went very smoothly, and my mom didn't feel much pain or discomfort afterward.
