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 with kids
My 6 year old was very nervous - both Felicia and Dr. Yap did a great job explaining what would happen, even letting her test out some things on me to show what she could expect. Highly recommend!

Dr. Yap is the best eye doctor I have ever seen. Being highly near sighted all my life, I have seen a lot of eye doctors. Dr. Yap is the most thorough of them all. He took his time to explain my condition in an understandable way and addressed my concerns and questions. I would highly recommend this eye doctor.

Not thorough in eye exam no attention to details.
Needs patients to tell him how to do his job. Lacks attention to details. Missed a major part part of my prescription that led to unbearable headache, loss of my money( as I used it to build new glasses) and valuable time. Lacks the minimum humility to apologize and instead justifies saying I should have told him what he needs to check. Funniest doctor, but sadly that costed me a lot!

I've been long term patient at Middlesex Eye Physicians and have been only seeing Dr. Yap for 3 years, but he has provided excellent care in a professional and kind manner. My time is important and I've been happy with the check in, eval and check out process.
