Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great results from bilateral cataract surgery
Dr. Ip performed cataract surgery on first my right then my left eye with excellent results. I had minimal down time, no pain, minimal discomfort and have near perfect vision with no need for corrective lenses other than reading glasses. I had my vision checked yesterday and the optometrist was also impressed. I gave her Dr. Ip's name for referrals. I am so glad I found Dr. Ip and am grateful for his commitment to excellence. He is also very astute in knowing his patients, and that too is appreciated. He is polite, kind, and intelligent. I highly recommend Dr. Ip.

Best eye doctor I’ve seen!!!
Dr. Ip performed my ICL procedures as well as all pre and post op visits through initial follow up before transferring to Cali. He was caring and compassionate and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. When I had significant eye irritation post op he was prompt in finding a solution and I am so grateful for his skills and knowledge. ICL has been a life changer for me and I highly recommend Dr. Ip and the ICL procedure.

Personable and Invested!
I would strongly recommend Dr. Ip to anyone looking for surgery or a cornea specialist. He makes a point to explain not only the procedure and options, but also the science and anatomy behind his decision, helping you be a part of the process. He is personable and is always genuinely interested in your life. He remembers details from previous conversations even if they weren’t related to medicine and follows up with your overall wellness, not just your eyes. Interactions in clinic and surgery are always positive and marked with a palpable desire to spend time with each client and not just rush through appointments. The quality of treatment was exceptional, and his knowledge is far above that of other ophthalmologists I’ve visited, while he also maintains and active network of consultants to ensure the highest quality of treatment. He makes it a point to be as available as possible, even coming in after hours to treat any discomfort that may arise.

Amazing, Direct and Kind Doctor
Dr. Ip was very straightforward with my procedures and exams. And this was a good thing. He was kind, catered to my needs (would always adjust the devices for my height) and always gave me fantastic care. He performed my LASIK surgery, to great success. I had very intense astigmatism and he was able to manage his way through it and give me the best result!

PRK went exactly like Dr. Ip said!
I visited Dr. Ip while considering PRK and decided to do the procedure with him. Dr. Ip was very helpful and answered any questions I had. A month after the procedure I see great! I'm very happy with the care I received and the results.
