Ken D. Last week I had my first appointment with Dr. Chan at…read moreWest Coast Retina. He was terrific as were all the staff. They were on time, welcoming and professional in every way. Dr. Chan's review of the state of my vision was very helpful and I left the appointment feeling reassured.

Maybe 90% or more of my reviews are 5 stars because I strongly believe in being positive, and I'm…read moremost certainly don't want to leave this negative review but feel a community obligation to do so. I was seen by Dr. Judy Chen, who did a good job assessing my retina issues, as far as I can tell. For that I'm most grateful and this is not a negative review of her. The staff at West Coast Retina have treated me the worst way possible when it comes to my records. First, they insisted I could easily access all my records (both images and doctors' notes) through their portal shortly after my visit. That turned out to be completely false - and nobody had the slightest issue with the fact that I had been lied to. Second, they told me the doctor's notes (which do not include images) would be in the portal by the end of last week. When they didn't arrive, a few days ago I again followed up. They said they'd get them soon, like maybe that same day. They would call me. They didn't. Third, for the images they said they'd have to mail them and charge me $30, so I paid that amount. When the images arrived, they did not include the ultrasound image, even though I specifically asked for that image and they specifically said they would send it. Fourth, when I last called to follow up again, they told me I could keep on contacting them. When I asked why they said that (because all I need is my records) they simply said "Ok, you'll get your records." Well, West Coast Retina, here I am AGAIN asking you for my records. I have serious issues with my retina and need expert medical help. I do not need a new medical records problem when other places easily get me this information very quickly with no problems. In the digital age, not only is there no reason for this, this is a deliberate effort to create a problem for me. AGAIN, please promptly send me the records and I will most certainly update this review if/when this issue gets fully resolved.

Please avoid seeing Dr. Ding. In our experience, he was very unprofessional, did not identify the…read morecause of the patient's condition, and did not answer the patient's questions during the appointment. My family member had ongoing floaters and flashes, which can be warning signs of retinal detachment. We were able to schedule an appointment with Dr. Ding. During the Thursday visit, after reviewing the eye images, he only said that the retina looked just thin and advised us to follow up again in two weeks. He did not explain the cause of the floaters and flashes or provide any meaningful guidance, and the patient was sent home without answers. Because my family member's symptoms kept getting worse, we sought a second opinion from another doctor in San Jose. That doctor diagnosed retinal detachment, and my family member underwent emergency scleral buckle and vitrectomy surgery that same weekend. This was our true experience, and we hope others will be cautious before choosing Dr. Ding. In our view, he failed to identify the cause of the condition, offered no meaningful assistance, and acted unprofessionally.

Dr. Ting gets the one star, the doctors in the rest of the practice are great. I made the earliest…read morepossible appointment (9:00) so I could get back to work. The waiting room kept filling up and filling up until it spilled out onto chairs set up in the hallway. Dr. Ting did not even show up to the office until 10:30, at which point I assume he checked email, got coffee, etc., because as the very first one to be called in, it was just a few minutes short of 11:00 when he finally called me in. I now go to the other doctors associated with the practice in a different city. When two different doctors asked why I didn't go closer to home to Dr. Ting, they BOTH asked, "Is it because of the wait?" Yes. It's because of the two-hour wait before he bothers to even start the day.
