Fairly stress free treatment…read more My optometrist referred me to see Dr Jiang due to a horseshoe tear on my retina. After examination, Dr Jiang confirmed the presence of the tear and recommended laser treatment to prevent potential detachment in the future. He informed me treatment can be done right away and asked me to sign the consent form. A couple numbing drops later and he began to laser the torn spot. After about 5 minutes, the treatment was done and it was practically painless. The only sensation I felt was slight pressure on the eyeball from time to time. Overall, this was a lot less stressful than I imagined. Highly recommend Dr Jiang!

Some of the staff also wears gloves. They definitely do when examining their patients. There are some hand sanitizers available for patients to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between patients. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was here in this establishment today with my dad, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is decent. It isn't too big nor too small. Parking spots are okay as well. Establishment: I had to bring my dad here today for his follow up appointment. He has been coming to see Dr. Chao for some time, and he really likes this place. My dad said that the doctor was really patient and thorough with explaining all that goes on during a cataract surgery. He said that the doctor also took some time going over other options if he refused to undergo the cataract surgery. Due to the doctor's experience and expertise, my dad decided to go through with the surgery at Concourse Diagnostic and Surgery Center. My dad's surgery went smoothly, and his follow up appointment also went well. Overall, this was an excellent outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Chao for anyone who is interested in getting cataract surgery. The establishment itself is very clean, neat, tidy, and organized. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Excellent location as they are near the gold line and have plenty of parking in the back. The security guard at the front was nice and helpful letting us know what time the office is opened and that we could wait in the lobby until they opened. The staff is very nice and helpful to their patients. Very easy to talk to them. The plus was they were able to speak Chinese (Mandarin)to my dad. The technician was efficient and checked his vision, eye pressure (with a tono pen), checking pupils, extra ocular motility (EOM) and getting a complete chief complaint and asked if reading was an issue (which is was not). The one thing I would have checked is confrontational fields, but other than that she did an excellent job. She then proceeded to dilate his pupils and explained to him about the process and the expect his near vision to be blurry due to dilation and to wear sun glasses when outside (due to increased incoming light from pupils being dilated). She performed imaging to check the macula and retina and optic nerve. We then saw Dr. Chao who is a fantastic physician performed a thorough exam and explained to my father about cataract surgery in Chinese, explained what she saw and how bad his cataracts were and asked him specific questions about his vision and discussed the different lens options available and which my father would like to receive. (Standard lens usually set for distance and would require glasses for reading or one can opt for a multifocal lens where you don't need to wear glasses but this type of lens is not covered by insurance and would be out of pocket). Dr. Chao is an ophthalmologist who specializes in Glaucoma (treats patients with high eye pressure which can lead to blindness if left untreated) and is also a cataract surgeon and comprehensive ophthalmologist (sees patients for any eye issues and can refer out to specialists as needed). Then we scheduled a surgery date and will need to see his primary care physician (PCP) for clearance will need to return for a follow up appointment to get his biometry measurements for the lens prior to surgery. My dad was happy with his first visit and looks forward to his follow up visit.

What an amazing ophthalmologist. Dr. Lai, has been taking care of me for the past three years, and…read moreI'm very very happy with his staff. Dr. Lai has the most advanced tools and equipment in his office with the highest technology. It's not just a cosmetic job here. It's the knowledge and experience throughout many many years with the highest education from this doctor. He has multiple achievements and awards. He will tell you straight in your face, which will be the truth with his experience. It's always best to hear. Good news and bad news. that's why I chose to be a patient of the (Rosemead) Eye Center. Thank you for being there when I need the top notch ophthalmologist...

Disappointing First Experience With Rosemead Eye Center…read more This was my first time calling Rosemead Eye Center because I was interested in becoming a new patient. I had heard good things about Dr. Lai through online searches, so I was hoping to confirm what insurance they accept and how to use my medical insurance for an eye exam. Unfortunately, the experience fell short right from the start. The person who answered the phone, Sam, was impatient, unfriendly, and noticeably rude when I asked basic questions. Instead of helping guide me through the process, as any medical office should, especially for new patients--she sounded irritated and dismissive. It honestly doesn't matter how good a doctor may be if the first point of contact treats people this way. A front desk representative sets the tone for the entire practice, and this interaction was a complete disservice to Dr. Lai and to potential patients like myself. I ended the call feeling unwelcome and unsure if I should even schedule an appointment. Customer service matters, especially in healthcare. Sadly, this was not a good first impression.

The entire staff was wonderful, and Kyle in particular was professional, kind, and extremely attentive. He explained every step of the process clearly, helped ease my fears about the quick, noninvasive procedure, and never made me feel rushed. He took the time to answer my questions, demonstrated what to expect, offered me water, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the visit. Since this was my first experience at an eye clinic, I'm especially grateful that Kyle made it such a positive one. He is the reason I would come back with no hesitation. Dr. Jones and Dr. Khine were just as lovely and welcoming. They treated me as though I were a close friend or member of their family and made sure all of my needs were taken care of. They both reviewed the procedure with me beforehand and explained everything they were doing throughout it, which made me feel comfortable and reassured. Focus Eye Center is truly a gem, I've never experienced such kindness. Don't think twice about coming here just make your appointment as soon as possible.

Really cared and understood her patients and also did her best to inform the staff of making sure to provide the best patient user journey. Clean, organized, and is consistent with her appointments. The only thing is that the wait times were deathly because she grew immensely in her role and practice. Highly versed and bilingual allowed her to connect with many different patients of hers. I called today 5/8/25 to confirm and Optic Eye Care has taken over and there is a team of new doctors taking over now. Need to find out where she is. If anyone knows of where she is practicing that would be extremely helpful.

Sadly, I had a bad experience with Dr. Jeffrey Huang. Be warned. He encouraged me to get the much…read moremore expensive multifocal lenses: "You'll never need to buy glasses again". Then when complications (including a trip to the ER) set in and months without much progress, he blamed me, refused to listen, and said over and over "give it more time." He kept defending himself until finally when I told him I still couldn't see clearly, he said simply, "Yes you can." He failed to take responsibility. When I asked for a refund, he just laughed and said he'd think about it. But he's never tried to contact me. J & J who makes the multifocals said the only way I can get a refund is if the original surgeon removes the lenses. Bottom line: Dr. Huang seems to care more about money than the well-being of his patients. He's a good surgeon--the lenses were put in correctly--but a second doctor I went to said he "undersells" the multifocals. Now my vision is worse than before (one good thing--I no longer have cataracts) but I had to buy new reading and distance glasses. I'm out $6,000 plus another $1,300 for new glasses. Plus the time and trouble, pain and annoyance. And Dr. Huang has disappeared.

Dr Bonnie Woo is amazing…read more My mom had a really bad cataract. Beyond stage 4 is how some doctors described it when most people get them removed at only stage 2. Her vision was almost completely blocked off in her left eye by the cataract. The first specialist we were referred to had low confidence in operating successfully. She scared my mom, so I took her to my doctor for another opinion. My doctor was more confident than the first specialist but still a bit hesitant. She then referred us to Dr Woo. I'm not too certain, but I think she said Dr Woo was one of the top specialists in the field. We set up an appt with Dr Woo, and she agreed that my mom's case was severe but it wouldn't be difficult for her. Her sheer confidence in that initial meeting made my mom love her and agree to move forward asap. Everything went smoothly. Surgery itself was maybe 30 min max even though the doc said it was complicated. She warned that healing would be slower than the average since my mom was a severe case, but she declared my mom practically healed after 2 weeks. She's amazing, but she's definitely in high demand because of it. She definitely doesn't accept walk ins. I think she only accepts severe cases from referrals, but you can always call her office to check!
