How does one effectively find providers these days? It should be easier than it is, and so I hope this Yelp review will help someone else find Dr. Melanie Hom helpful. So glad to have found a good local opthalmologist in case it happens again. The group was extremely professional, and Dr. Melanie Hom was very nice and efficient. Told me I didn't need to buy antibiotics if I wanted to wait and see how it got better, and I could call her if the antibiotics were as expensive as their list price. I'd happily go back to see them for new glasses or otherwise. Keep up the good work and positivity!

However, the bad outweighs the good because it is a combo of incompetence and dangerous. I will give one recent example: At the end of my 4-hour (!) routine exam, conducted by students, optometrist Dr Yoshiyama said I had a hemorrhage in one eye. I said I was told the same thing 4 years before and it turned out to be false. She was emphatic: No, no, no, this totally different; this is near the optic nerve; you could lose your vision. So I went to an ophthalmologist outside Morgan, who did a thorough (but under 1 hr) exam and confirmed Yoshiyama's diagnosis was baseless. He even showed me images. Since we haven't been able to figure out how Yoshiyama came to her conclusion, I'll leave you to decide for yourself if you want to risk being a patient at Morgan.

They apologized profusely and said they will address it with the office manager. The lobby is connected to another room that is crowded with staff. The room has a main station for checking in and another counter for checking out. Weird set up. What bothers me was the lack of professionalism from the office staff. I felt like I was in a busy salon with a lot of chattering. Really don't want to know what the person did over the weekend or other personal stuff. Even when I was in the treatment room I can hear them chatter amongst themselves. The optometrist was very active, talked really fast and seemed like she wanted to finish with me and move on to her next patient. The ophthalmologist was one of the main physicians. Came in without a greeting and didn't take the time to read my chart. Had to explain once again why I needed to see them. Seemed competent but lack social skills. Was Going to transfer my care to them but not sure if I want to now. Have a follow up appointment but I have a strong desire to cancel.

It's quite a bit about the money in the office for sure when I declined to have the surgery so again this is not a reflection of the surgical skill they continued to call and get me a book.

It is 3 vs. 0 stars as the ophthalmologists are…read moreexcellent however it is an excellent example of how significant the impact can be on healthcare when the BUSINESS end of such is a disaster AND when the PERSONAL ISSUES OF such individuals continue to go unaddressed. *Calls go unreturned * Messaging system which is so poorly managed calls get routed back to same extensions in a loop * Persistent rudeness (as other reviewers have noted) likely due to the horrendous management * Persistent use of cheap and non-standard IT products and services * Persistent use of standard email to communicate with patients vs. standard encrypted systems designed specifically for healthcare centered businesses re adherence to HIPPA regulations Whoever manages this clinic needs to find something else to do in life and executive management needs to DO THE JOB OF FIRING that manager(s). TIME IS UP for these individuals to change. The general attitude of 'as many patients as possible' vs. 'as many patients as CAN BE SERVED PROPERLY' will eventually, if this has not already occurred, result in either a lawsuit so big it will ruin this business altogether OR actual deaths (which is likely the same thing). This is not just the usual and customary too many patients and too few people to handle them. This is a combo of people with personal control issue problems micromanaging stuff such that the stuff cannot get done at all to management that is more focused on $ than purpose AND the denial of problems that might be at least minimized by simply FIRING the micromanaging ...management. Reality is it costs $ to run a clinic. You either spend the $ to do so properly or get the hell out of the business of healthcare. The only thing positive now about this clinic are the ophthalmologists which, were it not for them, this patient would have totally dumped this place overboard a long time ago but likely will now be doing exactly that since access to these superior ophthalmologists becomes moot given they have become inaccessible due to epic mis and dismanagement. Sadly, would not recommend anyone use this clinic now (2025). Nope. The less than stellar reviews here are accurate.

We came last week and they asked for a referral that was on us to get versus them contacting her doctor. What a frustrating experience. We rescheduled and I called first to see if they received the referral. They said no and I called the primary doctor who said they did but would do it again. Thankfully they got it. We arrived at the scheduled time with two patients in front of us. It's at least 45 minutes waiting. It's a very busy office that serves quite a lot of Asians which is comforting for mom. Parking is a nightmare so give yourself plenty of time otherwise there is a garage a block away. The garage is pricey.

They were true two primary issues with Michael Wang's ophthalmology practice…read more The first one is that the communication with the office was terrible. They do not respond to messages in the MyChart system, despite asking you to use the MyChart system to communicate with them. They do not respond to text messages, despite not answering their phone and having a voicemail that asks you to text them. I have sent over six messages across those two systems and not received a single response. Second, the office in Lafayette looks like a barren movie set. There is absolutely nothing on the walls, and it appears to be some sort of temporary space. The chairs you sit in are rickety and mismatched. The furniture looks like it's something from a thrift sale. So strange. In the end, I had to leave the practice because I was not able to get my prescriptions renewed by virtue of never being able to reach their office. The care quality was quite poor.
