    Palisadians had the trauma of the fire, then all of us at some point or another were terrorized by…read morethe government, our insurer, and/or a service provider. As I worked tirelessly to help family and friends rally to rebuild, I also assisted seniors who couldn't easily navigate the digital world in remediating their homes. Both journeys brought unique stressors and predators upon our vulnerable population. On President's Day, a landscaping vendor at my parent's home sent yet another email threat in an 8 month campaign of terror (sent only on holidays and weekends) and fraud. Not only did the Landscaper target an individual in trauma from fire, but a senior woman who he knew to be suffering from dementia. Here's how this ties into Dr. Yeh: In direct response to the email, my blood pressure skyrocketed, I immediately lost vision in left eye, and thought I was having a stroke. When firemen cleared me, I called Dr. Yeh on a holiday and immediately got me in soon thereafter. She correctly identified the issue, referred me to a retinal specialist for intervention, and stayed in waiting room with me as I called to ensure I had the appointment. Turn back the clock to the year prior. My January 7, 2025 to do list in town included picking up my first new pair of eyeglasses in a decade after an impeccable, comprehensive eye exam that had my vision better than ever. I was excited, then most of our sweet town burned to the ground. I knew Dr.Polan's building survived. I had contact lenses at Shutters where we stayed for 6 months, but I switch to glasses as night. I could survive without but life's easier with eyeglasses. I had nothing so eyeglasses weren't an immediate priority. I didn't even think of following up with Dr. Polan's (consistently incredible front office) as Palisadians weren't even allowed back into the Palisades for a month. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from Dr.Yeh asking where I was living to send my glasses. I told her and before I knew it; she personally delivered to Shutters. Again, IN THE WAKE OF A CATASTROPHIC FIRE WHERE HER FAMILY LOST THEIR HOME, DR.YEH CARED ENOUGH TO DRIVE MY NEW EYEGLASSES TO SHUTTERS. Good luck getting that kind of care from a doctor outside of the Palisades. I have no doubt that much of the reason for Dr.Polan's reopening was made possible by the devoted staff and Dr.Yeh supporting him. When beat up by life and broken by a predatory vendor, the antidote for healing is connecting with kind strangers and vendors who make anything about life easier. I appreciate Dr.Yeh for being one of those who lifted me up with the highest level of care and competency.

    I went to Dr. Polan for the first time today. He's a great doctor, clearly an expert. And, he's so…read moreprofessional and pleasant. He recommended bifocal contact lenses for me, they are such an improvement for my vision, I am so happy! Everyone in his office were professional, polite and pleasant.
