I had a great experience with Dr. Yang. I had an early follow up appointment. An early morning 7:45…read moreappointment. The office was almost empty, maybe 2 other patients in the entire office. I was the only one in my waiting area, the previous patient had been attended to by his medical assistant. Dr Yang came out directly and treated me without his assistant taking me first, when I noted/asked 'do you do your own prep-work?' -- he said 'well i know people on early appointments are usually trying to get to work or somewhere else, so rather than have you wait I decided to do the prep-work myself because the medical assistant is busy with another patient. Beyond his pro-activeness, Dr Yang was professional, patient and competent and had good 'bed-side' manner. I highly recommend Dr Yang!

My experience at Mass Eye and Ear today has been extremely disappointing. I have already been…read morewaiting for 4 hours, and we were just told that because they are short-staffed, it could take another 4 hours. An approximately 8-hour wait is unacceptable. On top of this extraordinary wait, the patient workflow is very inefficient. I was seen separately by three different nurses, and registration-related steps were handled twice in separate interactions. There appears to be unnecessary duplication at a time when the hospital is telling patients that it does not have enough staff. I understand that hospitals can become busy and emergencies take priority. But being short-staffed is an operational problem that hospital management needs to address. Patients should not be expected to absorb the consequences by waiting an entire day for care. If staffing is inadequate, management should have a contingency plan and organize available resources more efficiently. The combination of an extreme wait, inadequate staffing, repetitive steps, and poor patient flow suggests a larger management problem rather than an unavoidable delay. My criticism is not directed at the individual nurses or frontline staff. It is directed at the system and management. Mass Eye and Ear is a major hospital, and patients should be able to expect far better organization, communication, and respect for their time.

I've been a patient of Dr. Nouri for a few years now. When she left Boston Laser in Brookline I was…read moreworried because I didn't want to see another eye doctor.

It is a privilege to write about Dr. Sang and her team. Not only is Dr. Sang an elite and amazing…read moredoctor, but she shows compassion and really cares. Sometimes, that makes you feel better and is more needed than the treatments! At a time when I feared losing my vision due to macular degeneration, she was reassuring and supportive , and always answers my never ending list of questions, and with patience. Another side of Dr. Sang that I recently learned about is her mentorship. There are a group of young college grads working there who are taking a gap year and preparing to get into medical school. She is so giving and proud of how many of these interns have gone on to great careers. Each time you go for an appointment, it's a "major production." There are so many steps in the process and I have come to understand why it takes so long -- they take no shortcuts! There is a huge staff that supports Dr. Sang and each one has a specialty, from the people who answer the phone and make appts. to the people who do complicated eye scans. I don't envy the appt. people as everyone seems to want a different time -- including me -- and it's hard to make everyone happy, although they try. I guess my only complaint is that I wish I could turn back Dr. Sang's clock about 25 years so that she'd be in practice for another 25+ years. While she is around, I feel incredibly lucky for her to be my doctor!

I have been seeing her for many years ever since she did emergency laser surgery on me after an accident.

It is absolutely worth the wait if you want the most comprehensive, experienced evaluation/follow up. All the staff are great. Monica is a gem and all the technicians and students revere Dr. Sang, for good reason. I always take Dr. Sang's recommendations regarding other aspects of my health as well.

He explained the issue thoroughly, answered all my questions, and was overall very friendly and patient. No complaints. On my follow-up, though, I waited for an hour and a half to see him for less than five minutes for him to check my eye and give the all-clear. Fast forward to a year later, when I was truly apprehensive about another long wait time in the middle of a work day. This time, for an annual eye exam, I was in and out for about an hour, which wasn't too bad. The technician I saw before Dr. Kaufman was great - I wish I got his name. He was painstaking in making sure my prescription was right and going over what he was doing. Excellent bedside manner. So, all in all, I think this office has made improvements in reducing patient wait time. That said, one suggestion I have is to validate parking for patients. This is one of the few doctor's offices I've been to where they don't offer this and it bothers me - patients can wait up to an hour and the parking ticket (which isn't a flat rate) is one extra cost on top of the bill. The parking situation next to the office is also stressful. During peak times, the lot right next door is full or reserved for residents and you have to scramble to find another spot in the garage across the street.
