    Don't go here. There is a sign in the waiting room that reads: appointments are 1-1/2-2 hours. They don't respect your time.

    This was my first visit to a retina specialist and I wish someone had provided me with more…read moreinformation. I would suggest that you have someone accompany you to drive home. Everyone was very nice and each one introduced themselves before starting what ever test I was having done in that room. You will move to different rooms where different tests are done and I had a lot of drops put into my eyes. Then, depending on what the doctor finds, you might have to have an IV started and dye injected. That one caught me totally off guard. The lights are dimmed in each room so as not to blind you. Driving home, even sunglasses provided little help and I was extremely nervous driving. So, that's my "what you might expect " information that I wish I had had before my visit. The waiting room was clean and bright and, as I said before, everyone was professional, empathetic, patient, and just down right kind.

    If this is absolutely the only doctor office that takes your insurance then go there. Otherwise…read morestay away as far as possible. Not only you'll spend hours waiting also they have no show fee of 35$ that they'll not only send you bill but also call you and send you mail with threats to send it to collection if you won't pay. Oh and you have to notify them 48 hours prior to your appointment to avoid that. At the same time their doctors can reschedule you at anytime with no problems. Nobody cares about patients time at this office.

    I recounted a recent bad optometrist experience (elsewhere) to a coworker, who suggested I see an…read moreopthalmologist. This was especially important, she thought, since I had recovered from a torn retina and really should seek specialists when it comes to my eyes. She was completely right, of course. I found Dr. Lam via positive Yelp and Google reviews. I'm so thankful that I did! He was personable and very thorough in his exam. He explained that the blurred vision in my post-surgical eye (from the pneumatic retinopexy/retina surgery) was in fact cataracts. He indicated that I was overdue for surgery since my vision was so negatively impacted. Dr. Lam did my cataract surgery about a month later. It was deemed a success with at least 20/20 vision. Unfortunately, there was blurring over my lens. Dr. Lam explained that I'd need a follow-up laser procedure. Dr. Lam did this laser surgery, a capsulotomy, a few days ago. After resting/napping later that afternoon, I opened my eyes and had clear, unencumbered vision out of my 2x surgery eye! This is the first time I've had at least 20/20 since 1st grade! It's been a long 13 month journey with two eye surgeries and 1 minor procedure, but thankfully, my vision is even better than it was. Dr. Lam is very experienced. In my opinion, he uses tools to accurately and fully assess one's eyes. I felt 100% comfortable with him at all times (a little less with some Medical Technicians if I'm being honest..). He's answered all questions, often fully explaining/anticipating questions even before I have a chance to ask. He also approached treatment more conservatively; for example, he recommended waiting several months post-cataract surgery before having the capsulotomy since lasering too early could re-tear my retina. My capsulotomy was nearly 13 months after my retinal surgery. I'm thankful to Dr. Lam and have great confidence in his abilities! I'm so happy to have found such a capable opthalmologist.

    I was referred to this office but after reading the reviews, I will not even attempt to make an…read moreappointment. Figure out how to answer your phone, return calls and treat people respectfully! Those are the basics.
