The doctor explained everything really well and looked into the problems that I was having and corrected everything and explained it very well. I'm very pleased. Thank you.
At this time I can see some improvement on my eye.
Not a long wait every step was quick quick quick.
Dr Yang is a very caring doctor. Very concerned about my eyesight and how to preserve it. That is one of the reasons I keep coming back to see Dr Yang. I live in the I45 and 1960 area so it is a long drive for me, but worth it to see Dr Yang. I have the utmost confidence with Dr Yang.
My name is [...]. I would like to say that everyone at the eye clinic is extremely helpful and friendly. The wait times are very short. Dr. Yang's assistant, Crack, is excellent and the doctor is very much on point, describes everything he's doing and what I need to do and can't say anything better for him. A great institution, great company, great service. Would definitely recommend them.
Very very good
Very quick and efficient. Everyone was very nice and helpful.
The most important thing is not necessarily being on time, but it's also taking care of the patient. So make sure you spend a wise amount of time with the patient, understand the patient's needs, and it's better.

Dr. Yang is one of the most genuine and understanding doctors I ever met in my life. Thank you very much, y'all. I appreciate it.
Dr. Yang and staff are very professional, communicate well and maintain a punctual schedule.
It was a great, it was a challenge, it was the best experience I could have. As I am going through my sickness, I am able to quote the ones that I have touched, professional care help.
The only thing I would like is just to see my main doctor. Dr. Yang. I don't see the need for me to see a resident doctor and if I can choose in the future, I don't want to see residents, I really like Dr. Yang and only care to see him. Thank you
Dr. Yang is very professional, kind, and caring and knows his patients well and treats us very well. I trust him totally. The changes lately have been a little confusing, but I understand that. And so, things will work out. Thank you for taking the time to call. Thank you.
Yes, everything was fine. I loved the way they worked and I loved the way they treated me. And the first two were going to be a three, so everything is fine and I enjoyed being their patient.
I'm sure Dr. Yang is very experienced and knowledgeable in his field, but he doesn't ask questions. He doesn't answer my question, not really answer, but he doesn't communicate when I'm telling him something about my visual field. And there was an assistant in there or a student doctor. She was on her phone texting, and she didn't look up. She didn't speak. I thought the doctor would have gotten on to her. Well, maybe he wanted to do that afterwards, not sure, but it was so disrespectful for her to be in there. Me coming from a professional field, I think I would have told her, going in there as a student, not introducing herself, speaking, maybe not supposed to say anything, but she didn't look up at it. She didn't say anything. She just kept texting the whole time, and I just thought it was disrespectful.
Thank you Dr. Zhang. Explains well and makes my 12 yr old grandson feel special!
Everyone was courteous and kind. Tell them to always offer the roller shades to people who has had their eyes dilated. Another lady and myself were offered the shades after 15 minutes of sitting with our eyes closed and heads down and sitting in front of bright windows. All of the staff is so professional.
