    *First time review* I came here for a medical issue, not routine eye exam. I saw Dr. Amy Chi, what a delight! Their office is insanely clean, front desk was so helpful and got me in urgently within 2 hours of my calling. I was having some blurred vision and tightness but all good-- Dr Chi confirmed all good on my eyes and possibly migraine or something else. The peace of mind was great. They do take VSP and MetLife. I didn't feel rushed and I was able to ask all my questions. Will most likely come here for routine exam in the future.

    My Chloé glasses (sorry this picture doesn't do it justice-they're incredible in person)

Some friends have had their LASIK done at the other location but I trusted them here as well. My bf and I drove down from SF for my free consultation where they checked my vision, if they were healthy, dilated my eyes. My pupils were huge, sensitive to the sun but man were things really saturated with color. Staff was very friendly & informative. I qualified for the SMILE LASIK - All-Laser, Blade-free, All-Femtosecond Laser, Painless & fast recovery & same results as LASIK. Soon after I was like alright I'm doing this & put down a $100 non refundable deposit. Scheduled an appointment in March where the procedure was $6950, -$200 for paying in cash & I had two referrals which I'm assuming is the max because I had 3 so brought it down to $5750. My parents brought me down on a Saturday where they did another vision test to make sure nothing had changed. I had not watch videos of the procedure & afterwards I'm so glad I didn't but once I knew what they did with one eye, I did start to feel a lil anxious but thank goodness they had given me a full Valium prior. My parents also got to watch & before I knew it I was done! I couldn't see comfortably & anytime I opened my eyes it would water & it was hard to do anyways so I just slept pretty much all day. They provide you with post operative prescription eyedrops to use 4x a day. After a couple of hours I started to be able to open them comfortably & I could see so much w/o my glasses! I had a follow up appointment that Monday where my bf took me & my eyes were looking good! Finally got to do my skincare & wash my hair. I needed to keep my eyelids cleaner because it was causing cloudiness with my vision. Eyes did get dry for a bit so using Preservative-Free, Artificial Tears helped. Would 100% recommend this place & for anyone that qualifies to do LASIK! Thank you to Dr. Joseph Ling & the team here!

    great experience from the initial consultation to the surgery. Dr Koushik is very experiencedread more

Lol apparently I need to see a medical eye doctor in order for them to check out my eyes before I start a new prescription medication. This particular doctor was really nice and Did the examination for me anyways granted I'll have to make another appointment with my PCP and then see another eye doctor. Well, at the appointment I could pay extra, I think it was 40 or $60? Yet I decided to do the picture of the backside of my eye to see if I would potentially have anything wrong. I decided to do that just because I haven't been to an eye doctor in about five years. Turns out the picture showed that I will need reading glasses in the next 10 to 15 years! So cool!! I didn't know cameras could project that! Science is amazing! I forget the eye doctors name. But I know they told me he was the Chinese doctor. I'm not too sure if he is actually Chinese or just speaks Mandarin and or Cantonese, but certain people requested him. I will have her say he was a younger looking Asian gentleman, who is very helpful!! I will definitely come back here again!

I planned to address the overcharge at my appointment. Unfortunately, I missed the appointment due to an unavoidable work issue. I called the office within one hour to explain what happened, only to find they had already charged my card an additional $75 missed-appointment fee--despite my prompt call and explanation. In total, I was charged $115 for a visit that never occurred. This was the first appointment I have ever missed since beginning treatment with Dr. Mastman. Despite that, the staff showed zero empathy or willingness to work with me, even after acknowledging the initial overcharge. For patients who work hard, live paycheck to paycheck, and try to do the right thing, this kind of rigid and punitive billing practice feels exploitative. Doctors' offices should not operate in a way that financially penalizes patients without consideration or fairness--especially when mistakes are made on their end. This experience was deeply disappointing and left me feeling disrespected as a patient.

There are many elderly patients who endure many hardships and to have this man treat the elderly in this manner is unacceptable and heart wrenching to realize bad doctors are really out there! Hopefully one day he will be removed from practicing medicine and he realizes his mind set needs to be reevaluated and utilized in an environment that doesn't involve seeing patients (no pun intended but indeed very fitting) to ensure no one else has to endure the potential infectious illnesses that he may cause as well as his baffling disturbing behavior. Unfortunately he is the reason people fear going to a doctor. Never until now have I seen and felt an intense toxic environment at a place where it SHOULD BE safe and helpful. One bad apple can certainly spoil the entire establishment! All the other doctors should really stop, look, listen and pay extra attention to the way their business is being run starting at the front desk (no complaints there, but observed unhappy workers, over scheduled patients leaving upset) Hope this review helps others and if you witness something even if didn't happen directly to you, please help by reporting/sharing it.
