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.

I tried to get an appointment with Dr. George but the rude receptionist didn't give me the opportunity to make it so I asked for the manager for which I was transferred to Jennifer who was even worse than the last first receptionist. I hope one day soon I get the opportunity to see Dr George because he was highly recommended by a family friend who was very happy with the service he received.

Excellent and very professional and personable.
I was referred to Dr. Yang for cataract consultation. Dr. Yang takes time to explain different options available along with costs. He explained whether my surgery was urgent or I could think more about it. I chose to have surgery at the beginning of the year so that both eyes would be covered under one insurance deductible.

Dr Yang's office staff is extremely well organized and friendly.I found that Dr Yang was very thorough in informing me of my options for cataract surgery and the different types of lenses available to me. I especially appreciated his willingness to answer my questions, and review information he had given me at a follow up visit . The whole cataract procedure went very smoothly, from the pre op visits, to the post op visits. The eye surgical center, where the procedure was done, was also very friendly and efficient. I am very pleased with the results of my cataract surgeries.

I was referred to Dr. Yang by my Optometrist because of cataracts in both eyes. I am extremely happy (over joyed!) with the results of my cataract surgery performed yesterday on one eye and a few weeks ago on the other eye. Dr. Yang and his staff are exceptional and I would trust Dr. Yang's opinion & recommendations for the type of lens needed for optimal results. He is a master of his craft!

Stopped in after ten years to say, "Thank you" to Dr. Yang. We did lens replacement (normally cataract surgery) because my myopia was too extreme for lasik. Absolutely the best upgrade imaginable. The staff is still very professional. They are well organized and didn't keep keep me waiting. Dr. Yang is friendly and clear about my eye conditions. He found a healed retinal tear that other providers have missed. Passionate about eye health!

On two separate occasions, Dr. Yang removed the cataracts in my eyes. I found Dr. Yang to be a patient and considerate practitioner. He listened to my needs (which required both near vision for detailed sewing needs, reading and far vision for driving.) In addition, he was able to correct a slight astigmatism I had--all done with one lens implant. He is very conscientious too. He did additional measurements of my eye only a few days before the surgery to give him the latest information to select the correct lens for me. Dr. Yang is also up to date in what lens he uses. In a post-surgery office visit, I was told that had I needed the surgery six months prior, I may not have had the lens he used available to his patients. I now enjoy all activities of daily living including driving in both daytime and night. I would highly recommend Dr. Yang to any potential new patients. After all, I went to him twice trusting him with my precious eyesight both times.

I was referred by my optometrist to Dr. Yang about cataracts in both my eyes. Dr. Yang diagnosed the cataract condition as stage 4 and recommended surgery. He explained the tradeoffs between the PanOptix and the Vivity lens. For my case, having longer range is of higher priority as I prefer to see without glasses distant, intermediate, and near distances. Having the halo side effect for nighttime is not as important as I don't drive regularly at night. Now that I have the new lens for over a month after surgery, I believe it is the right decision. During the daytime, I now can see well at all distances. It is like having HD TV while I had been watching SD TV for so many years. It is life changing!

I have been with Dr. Yang for more than 5 years, I couldn't be more happy working with him and his team (everyone at the clinic is amazing, especially Andy) to take care of me. Dr Yang is truly the most amazing doctor; he is compassionate, intelligent, and treats the whole being (emotional, mental and physical). I am really grateful to have him as my doctor.

Dr. George Yang, with the San Jose Eye Institute, has been providing me with excellent care for 20+ years. He is easy to talk to, answers all questions fully and patiently, and is willing to do everything he can to satisfy all of his patients, even when they are picky, like myself! I highly recommend Dr. Yang and his team. They are all professional, caring men and women who go out of their way to provide the best care possible. If you live in the greater San Jose area, try Dr. Yang. Your eyes will thank you!

Dr. Yang and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. They take Covid very seriously and I felt very confident in the care I received. I do wish that they would provide a print out of the visit and the findings and follow up like my other specialists do. They will provide written information if asked.

Cataract surgeries Dr. Yang performed three years apart (right eye first) were appropriate at the time and the results were very successful. I'm 81 and have better eyesight than I did when I was 16. Extra care was necessary because I had Lasik surgery at the age of 59.
