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.

Dr . Yohai is one of the most kind and compassionate physicians I know. I have a pretty complicated eye history and Dr. Yohai has the knowledge and skill in order to preserve my vision. His office staff is warm and friendly and then there’s sweet Buddy who greats me with a wag and gallop once I enter the office!

My Optometrist enthusiastically referred me to Dr Yohai for Cataract Surgery. His staff immediately made me feel at ease. Dr. Yohai explained all my options and I decided to choose an Extended Depth of Field lens implant. All I can say is, "WOW!" I can now drive and read without glasses. I haven't seen this well in 40 years!

Do NOT go to Dr. Yohai. After my eye surgery, I had ongoing pain. My eye watered constantly and was extremely irritated. This went on for 10 months! I went back to see Dr. Yohai several times, but he never found a problem. I finally went to another ophthalmologist. What a relief. This doctor found a stitch that Dr. Yohai missed as well as three ingrown eyelashes and infection. He treated me and with just one visit, my eye is now completely healed. I will NEVER go to Dr. Yohai.

I had cataract surgery by Dr. Yohai. The surgery was painless and I can see things now that I didn't know were there before. I trust Dr. Yohai completely. His entire staff is wonderful.

Dr Yohai was very friendly, listened carefully to my concerns, & was thorough in his examination and recommendation for treatment. He spent more than adequate time with me and did more than was expected in his exam and explanation of results. VERY impressive! I recommend him highly!

I had to travel some distance to get to his office. His staff worked with me to make it as convenient as possible. Dr. Yohai has a wonderful bedside manner and explained well my options, and his advice based on those options for treatment. He skillfully performed an in-office procedure the next working day so I did not have to make a separate trip. Could not be happier with his service and his practice.
