Walking into the clinic, everything looked pretty standard but neat. The check in process was…read moresimple and didn't take long. The person at the desk answered my questions without seeming annoyed which I appreciated. In the back, one of the medical assistants went through the initial steps and made sure I was settled in the exam room. When the doctor came in, they took time to go over some background and asked a mix of general and more focused questions. They had a calm way of talking and didn't jump into assumptions. What I liked was how they explained things clearly but didn't try to oversimplify. The doctor gave a few ideas on what could be happening and explained the next steps without pressuring anything. They also gave some basic advice on what I could try on my own. It felt more like a team effort than being told what to do. I left feeling like I got useful information without being overwhelmed.

Use to come here all the time, but it's gone down hill since the last couple of years I've been…read morehere. The staff is unwelcoming, and rude upon arrival. The parking spaces are small, and crowded. The place is unkept, and more importantly I was dismissed by a lot of the staff. The nurse, or whatever you might call her, didn't care to listen to me at all when I told her I was having trouble even getting the appointment I had. Not only did they give me an appointment 8 MONTHS in, they delayed it by 2 extra month because the doctor had "an emergency." And instead of them have the courtesy to call me and help me reschedule my appointment as soon as possible, they sent me a quick message and had ME call THEM! The doctor herself isn't very sociable and doesn't do a thorough examination. More importantly, they don't have that many options that medical pay for you. They use to have a larger selection of glasses, and it use to be that that blue tint to those who have astigmatism use to be covered by medical but now they want you to pay 100 dollars for something you really need. They do additional studies that they want patients to be 20-40 dollars for. It's horrid. Would recommend another place! Don't waste your time here.

NOTE: This review is for the optometry department only. My catarac surgery with Dr. Zhou went very…read morewell. My post cataract eyewear purchases with Bay Eye were not good. I dealt with Stephanie Tapia, who fitted me for progressives (I'm very experienced with progressive lenses). When they arrived, the reading segment was barely adequate on the eyeglasses, and non-existent on the sunglasses. I took the sunglasses back, and Stephanie refit them and said she would try to put a rush on them with her contact at the lab. Well, they took 4 weeks (!) to come back in (they will not call you when they come in), though they are useable. I paid out of pocket (no insurance) for these glasses (around $900 each pair pair), and really expected more knowledgeable and courteous help. Neither of these did I receive. It literally took almost 2 months to get adequate eyewear from Bay Eye, and this is after spending $1800 on the eyewear. I recommend Dr. Zhou, certainly, but I would advise folks to avoid the optometry department at Bay Eye. Get your printed prescription from them, and then take it to a proficient and courteous optician else where.

If you're looking for a doctor with some degree of warmth and kindness, one who listens and actually cares about you as a person, keep looking. On the other hand, if you want a doctor who is rude, arrogant, and dismissive, look no further. Hsei only wanted to say what HE had to say. He was not interested in my questions or concerns. He completely ignored my husband who'd come to my appt with me. The very worst was that my cataract surgery left me with a lifelong eye condition that he refused to even acknowledge, insisting "it's not possible". He actually got angry, clearly not wanting to admit that his surgery had a less-than-perfect outcome. My appt came to a very abrupt end as he ushered me out. My advice? Find a different doctor. You can do much better than Hsei.
