Her husband had surgery with Dr. Lu and was very satisfied. Coincidentally, both his office and the surgery center are in Arcadia, where I live. I had cataract surgery on my left eye on 2/16 and on my right eye yesterday, using an EDOF multifocal intraocular lens (paid out-of-pocket). Dr. Lu truly lived up to his reputation; he was very professional, explained things meticulously, and patiently answered all my questions. Both surgeries went very smoothly and successfully. Furthermore, Dr. Lu personally calls patients on the same day after each surgery to check on their progress. Although there are follow-up appointments the next day, his dedication and willingness to go the extra mile touched and reassured me. Dr. Lu is truly an outstanding doctor, highly trustworthy and recommended. I also want to especially mention Dr. Angela, the anesthesiologist at Specialty Medical Center, who was excellent. Her dosage and timing were very precise; I was unconscious and woke up to find the surgery already successfully completed.

She told me I needed to see an ophthalmologist, preferably one that specialized in glaucoma because they would have all of the latest machines at their disposal. I researched for a week and found Dr. Song at the USC Keck Roski Eye Center in Arcadia. I am super happy. He is now monitoring my disease. I did not experience the long waits that were mentioned in some of the other reviews. The place seems super well organized... I will be coming here every six months for the rest of my life....

Extremely long wait times and a very disorganized experience. I brought my parents for a 1:00 p.m…read more appointment, and the waiting room was completely packed. After receiving a wristband--which was the only part of the process that happened efficiently--we waited approximately 45 minutes for the first test, then another 37 minutes for the next one, followed by additional waiting for more testing and to see the doctor. It appears the office is severely overbooked. We were there for more than three hours for a scheduled appointment. I understand medical appointments can run behind, but this level of waiting and disorganization is unacceptable, especially for elderly patients. Better scheduling, communication, and consideration for patient's time are desperately needed. If you have an appointment here, bring a book, laptop, or something else to keep yourself occupied. There are no movies or shows being provided to help make the extremely long wait more bearable.

I'm surprised to see that this ophthalmology office had received some low reviews although most of…read morethem seemed to be due to the long wait. Initially reading through some of them actually made me rethink if I was at the right place. However I've been taking my dad here for years to treat his glaucoma and cataracts, and he has undergone several surgeries performed by Dr. Huang. His vision has improved tremendously compared to where he was years ago. All of the staff members in the office are friendly and patient, even when dealing with difficult situations. The lady at the front desk is very kind and always calls us ahead of time to remind us of our appointments. She seems to know most of the patients well, and we always feel welcomed when checking in. If you have elderly parents at home, you've likely experienced their stubbornness and impatience when it comes to their health; I am certainly no exception. When my dad was first diagnosed with glaucoma years ago, he was instructed to use eye drops daily. Because he couldn't "feel" the symptoms yet, he didn't think his life was being affected and unfortunately didn't follow the instructions. This is what is so scary about glaucoma - it can cause damage without you realizing it. Then when COVID hit, my dad decided to stop visiting the office entirely. As a result, a few years later, very little of his vision remained and his cataracts had worsened significantly. Seeing the progress he has made now under Dr. Huang's care is truly impressive. I highly recommend this office for their expertise and their patience with elderly patients.

Some of the staff also wears gloves. They definitely do when examining their patients. There are some hand sanitizers available for patients to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between patients. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment today with my dad, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is decent. It isn't too big nor too small. Parking spots are okay as well. Establishment: I had to bring my dad here today for his follow up appointment. He has been coming to see Dr. Chao for some time, and he really likes this place. My dad said that the doctor was really patient and thorough with explaining all that goes on during a cataract surgery. He said that the doctor also took some time going over other options if he refused to undergo the cataract surgery. Due to the doctor's experience and expertise, my dad decided to go through with the surgery at Concourse Diagnostic and Surgery Center. My dad's surgery went smoothly, and his follow up appointment also went well. Overall, this was an excellent outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Chao for anyone who is interested in getting cataract surgery. The establishment itself is very clean, neat, tidy, and organized. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Excellent location as they are near the gold line and have plenty of parking in the back. The security guard at the front was nice and helpful letting us know what time the office is opened and that we could wait in the lobby until they opened. The staff is very nice and helpful to their patients. Very easy to talk to them. The plus was they were able to speak Chinese (Mandarin)to my dad. The technician was efficient and checked his vision, eye pressure (with a tono pen), checking pupils, extra ocular motility (EOM) and getting a complete chief complaint and asked if reading was an issue (which is was not). The one thing I would have checked is confrontational fields, but other than that she did an excellent job. She then proceeded to dilate his pupils and explained to him about the process and the expect his near vision to be blurry due to dilation and to wear sun glasses when outside (due to increased incoming light from pupils being dilated). She performed imaging to check the macula and retina and optic nerve. We then saw Dr. Chao who is a fantastic physician performed a thorough exam and explained to my father about cataract surgery in Chinese, explained what she saw and how bad his cataracts were and asked him specific questions about his vision and discussed the different lens options available and which my father would like to receive. (Standard lens usually set for distance and would require glasses for reading or one can opt for a multifocal lens where you don't need to wear glasses but this type of lens is not covered by insurance and would be out of pocket). Dr. Chao is an ophthalmologist who specializes in Glaucoma (treats patients with high eye pressure which can lead to blindness if left untreated) and is also a cataract surgeon and comprehensive ophthalmologist (sees patients for any eye issues and can refer out to specialists as needed). Then we scheduled a surgery date and will need to see his primary care physician (PCP) for clearance will need to return for a follow up appointment to get his biometry measurements for the lens prior to surgery. My dad was happy with his first visit and looks forward to his follow up visit.

Disappointing First Experience With Rosemead Eye Center…read more This was my first time calling Rosemead Eye Center because I was interested in becoming a new patient. I had heard good things about Dr. Lai through online searches, so I was hoping to confirm what insurance they accept and how to use my medical insurance for an eye exam. Unfortunately, the experience fell short right from the start. The person who answered the phone, Sam, was impatient, unfriendly, and noticeably rude when I asked basic questions. Instead of helping guide me through the process, as any medical office should, especially for new patients--she sounded irritated and dismissive. It honestly doesn't matter how good a doctor may be if the first point of contact treats people this way. A front desk representative sets the tone for the entire practice, and this interaction was a complete disservice to Dr. Lai and to potential patients like myself. I ended the call feeling unwelcome and unsure if I should even schedule an appointment. Customer service matters, especially in healthcare. Sadly, this was not a good first impression.
