He also worked closely with cataract specialists so she could be seen and scheduled for surgery without unnecessary delays. He is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and compassionate. I also appreciated that his staff was prepared to communicate with Spanish-speaking patients, which made my mom feel more comfortable and understood. The entire office was organized, responsive, and focused on getting her the care she needed as soon as possible. Thank you for treating my mom with such urgency, respect, and kindness. We are very thankful for everything you and your team have done for her. SHE GAINED HER VISION BACK !!!!

They show the credit due on my account and promised to send me the overpayment on several occasions and after months of delays and now Mark and Robert in their billing department giving me the run around it is obvious they are never going to send me my money. Is Dr Taban having financial problems? Is he so desperate for money that he needs to steal $500 from one of his patients? Apparently so! This is what happens when they make you pay up front when you have insurance! They keep the overpayment and steal your money! Find a more honest practice and steer clear of this unethical greedy Physician!

The quality of medical care is exceptional! The techs in the back are wonderful as well. The front desk and check out staff do not reflect the medical team in a positive manner. Some of the front desk staff are disrespectful and dismissive. They do NOT acknowledge you standing at the desk. I have experienced this on many previous appointments but, today was the last time I would accept their behavior. I walked up to the desk and waited to be acknowledged. One woman was staring at the computer. She answered the phone once during the time I was standing there, she immediately placed the caller on hold. She was not typing. She must have been reading something. Or just ignoring me. Still never acknowledging me. The other two women had a patient in front of them. Neither one of them said anything, which is somewhat understandable. A simple, we will be right with you, from any of them, would have been great! After not being seen I asked if anyone could tell me where I was in the que. The woman looking at her computer never looked at me. One of the other ladies spoke up and checked the status for me. No one wears a name tag so no one is accountable.

I saw Dr. Joshi for eye inflammation after dealing with an unexplained skin and nose infection…read more While other specialists only focused on their own area and dismissed the rest of my symptoms, Dr. Joshi did the opposite. He looked at everything as a whole- my eyes, skin, nose issues, and how they were all connected. He was thorough, attentive, and very to the point. For the first time, I felt truly heard and understood. His approach gave me clarity and relief after 2 weeks of uncertainty. I'm incredibly grateful for his care.

Urgent Care and my eye Dr couldn't help the first time this happened. I needed style removal surgery and I had no idea that was a thing. It was amazing to get "a system of styes" off my poor eyelid. I woke up a day after my trip to a swollen shut eye and swelling in my face they got me right in. I could not have had better care. They are so good getting me quickly. My last appointment I made for the next day from the airport! I'm looking forward to the day I get cataracts after reading a brochure in the waiting room. I feel I'll trust them with my eyes. To see 20/20 in our old age sounds amazing. I've had glasses/contacts for 45 years. I never thought that would be something to look forward to!

Dr. Liu has always gone way above and beyond for not just me, but also for the friends and family…read moreI've referred to her. When she diagnosed me with eye mites (something I didn't even know was possible) she and her office manager Katie worked with my insurance through at least three separate denials to get me a costly but much needed medication. They followed up and stayed on it until it was resolved. Instead of being alone through that process, I felt like I had a whole team working for me. That kind of support and advocacy is hard to find. Most offices would have stopped at the first denial and left it to me. Over the years I've referred half a dozen of my closest friends and family, not acquaintances, people I actually care about, to Dr. Liu for SMILE, LASIK and/or ICL surgery. Every single one of them has come back with great outcomes and the same feeling I have: that they were in genuinely capable, caring hands. If you're looking for an eye doctor who combines real clinical skill with the kind of follow-through that shows they care, go to Beach Cities. Dr. Liu and her whole team have earned my trust many times over.

Waiting was kind of long, 40 mins, there were two patients ahead of me. Clean office, staff are adequately polite It took them three tries to dilate my eye, the assistant commented my eye is too stubborn, ha. Since I put down yelp as my referral to the business, both the assistant and the doctor asked me, "what's yelp?" prompting me to give each of them a brife history of yelp individually. Hey, shouldn't I get paid for this? I guess he's well-established here, cause I recognize his face from back in the days when i was working in S. Bay Hospital. No hello or any pleasantry when first seeing me, but instructing me to put my purse on the chair. He seems to be a genteel person, so maybe that's the way he operates. He checked my eye with bright beam of light, and informed me that there is no tear to my retina, but he needs to see me in three weeks. I had a few questions to ask him but he gestured me to leave. Oh well, doctors are busy, I understand that. Overall, nah. I had it better

They only wrote me a prescription for glasses and said I had to come back for another appointment to get the contacts. They should have said that in the FIRST place. I would not have come to see them. VERY VERY misleading in my opinion. I do not have a schedule that allows me to come in on the days she is there. Now I will have to go somewhere else to get my contacts. I will not return. Their excuse is that sometimes they have a girl answer e phones who doesn't know all the procedures. Might want to educate your staff.

Guessing this place might be referrals only, then again I did not ask so I could be wrong. In any case, my guy had a diabetes eye exam complete with pupil dilation so he was seeing the world in bright perspective for an hour or two after the exam. I liked the "take home" shades they provide after the exam, sort of reminds me of the old 3-D movies and the disposable red/blue glasses. I had a small collection of them thinking one day I'd have a need for plastic 3-D glasses. Never did though so there's that. Anyway the exam was pretty straight forward and thorough. After care and follow up exam all nicely arranged. Staff was friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking.
