The quality of medical care is exceptional! The techs in the back are wonderful as well. The front desk and check out staff do not reflect the medical team in a positive manner. Some of the front desk staff are disrespectful and dismissive. They do NOT acknowledge you standing at the desk. I have experienced this on many previous appointments but, today was the last time I would accept their behavior. I walked up to the desk and waited to be acknowledged. One woman was staring at the computer. She answered the phone once during the time I was standing there, she immediately placed the caller on hold. She was not typing. She must have been reading something. Or just ignoring me. Still never acknowledging me. The other two women had a patient in front of them. Neither one of them said anything, which is somewhat understandable. A simple, we will be right with you, from any of them, would have been great! After not being seen I asked if anyone could tell me where I was in the que. The woman looking at her computer never looked at me. One of the other ladies spoke up and checked the status for me. No one wears a name tag so no one is accountable.

My name is Kemp Massengill, MD, and my medical background is that of a practicing Eye Surgeon for…read more25 years specializing only in cataract and lens implant surgery. As a senior citizen, I developed cataracts myself and needed to select an Eye Surgeon for my own visual rehabilitation requirements. Having practiced cataract and lens implant surgery for decades in Southern California, I personally know many qualified Eye Surgeons who would operate on my eyes and do a nice job. What I was looking for, however, was not only an Eye Surgeon with outstanding surgical talent - but also an Eye Surgeon who treats patients with genuine caring and respect, as I did for my own cataract and lens implant surgery patients. I found this Eye Surgeon - Patrick Yeh, MD. Doctor Yeh was referred by my wife's Family Doctor at UCLA Health, even though Doctor Yeh was in the Torrance (Cedars Sinai) group, rather than UCLA. Patrick Yeh, MD, is the most conscientious Eye Surgeon I have personally met, and now I have had both cataracts removed - AND I AM DELIGHTED! Doctor Yeh's practice is NOT a Medicare-cataract surgery mill - with such doctors churning through 80-100 patients a day. In my opinion, it is impossible to be truly thorough in these high-volume situations. Doctor Yeh's practice is medium-sized, and it is obvious that he likes it that way - as then he can thoroughly examine each patient, using not only his excellent medical/surgical skills, but using the very latest in ocular test equipment. I believe that in my own cataract and lens implant surgical practice that I was the most thorough surgeon I know (please don't take this as arrogance: patients told me this over and over) - but Doctor Yeh is even more thorough even than I was. This is very impressive to me, and I cannot overstate how very fortunate I am that I chose Doctor Yeh. Also, there is no such thing as cataract and lens implant surgery being a 'simple' procedure. This is marketing 'hype' to lure patients in the door. This is NOT a 'simple' procedure, and serious complications can occur, although it is not lengthy surgery, such as a heart transplant would be. Also again, many patients have co-existing retinal problems, such as macular degeneration, retinal wrinkling, macular edema, branch vein or branch artery occlusions, and other problems, such as glaucoma, which limit the final vision, even with perfectly executed small-incision cataract and lens implant surgery. Patients are sometimes in denial regarding what are called co-morbidities. And retinal problems are difficult to diagnose in advance of cataract surgery - because the view of the retina (the back of the eye) is obscured by the cloudiness of the cataract in front of the retina. It is like looking through a foggy windshield and trying to clearly read distant signs. In fact, denial is a normal human trait. For instance: Why would someone who has had a coronary bypass procedure and a bad heart frequently eat a double cheeseburger with extra bacon and extra cheese? Or 3 doughnuts? The reason can only be denial of the damage from this diet (tasty as it is!). Again, it is a normal human trait to be in denial of risk. And it has been demonstrated over and over - such as in very compelling videotaped risk discussions of patients undergoing very serious, life-threatening, heart surgery - that after the surgery, many patients will be adamant that the risks were never discussed. When shown the videotape of such discussions of risks, they are truly amazed, as they had complete amnesia for ANY discussion of risks. I myself have a little wrinkling of my left retina, and this affects my vision a little bit - again, because of my retinal pathology. The cataract surgery did not cause this! In summary, the cataracts are gone, and the surgery performed by Doctor Yeh was absolutely pristine! Doctor Patrick Yeh truly knows what he is doing, and is a very caring and deeply concerned human being (in a world where caring is all too often a missing ingredient). And if I you wish to discuss any of this with me, please send me an email to kemp.massengill@gmail.com, and be sure to put on the subject line : Regarding Patrick Yeh, MD. AS A CATARACT/LENS IMPLANT SURGEON MYSELF, I GIVE PATRICK YEH, MD, THE VERY HIGHEST 5-STAR RATING POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, DOCTOR YEH!!

She's been performing SMILE longer than almost anyone on the West Coast, and that depth of experience is what made the trip worth it. The screening was the most thorough eye workup I've had. I came in half expecting a push toward whatever procedure made the most money. Instead she walked me through my actual corneas, explained why SMILE made sense for my prescription, and was honest about what each option could and couldn't do for me. She answered every question I had, including a few I didn't know to ask. On the day of the procedure she talked me through each step as it happened, which kept me calm. The whole thing was over in minutes. Recovery was easier than I expected. By the next morning, I could see across the room without squinting, and I was back to normal within a day or two. I'm now at 20/15, better than 20/20! If you're in LA or willing to travel like I was, and you're weighing SMILE or LASIK, she's worth seeing before you decide anywhere else. The experience and the care are both incredible.
