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.

Excellent provider
Dr Wang is kind, gentle and thorough. Takes time with you explaining and answers all questions.

I’m in a scary position. I’ve lost vision in my right eye and have macular degeneration and a cataract in my left eye. Dr. Wang told me I needed the cataract removed. One wrong stroke and I would be blind. I was so anxious on the day of the procedure and just cried. Dr. Wang stopped the procedure and just talked to me. He was so calming as was the entire staff. I felt so reassured, went through the procedure and can see so clear. I would recommend any to see him.

Epiretinal Membrane v Dry Eye
This gentleman wrote off my complaints of poor vision and excessive tearing to dry eye and recommended eye drops. I couldn’t see a thing. My vision required 3.75 correction and I was prescribed 1.50! Go figure!

Dr. Wang performed cataract surgeries on a friend, who was extremely pleased with the experiences and outcomes, and recommended him to me. During both appointments, in 2019 and 2021, he was very thorough, explained his findings clearly and succinctly, and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him.
