WARNING: Patient care is not a priority here…read more Over the last three years, my husband and I have witness this office treat patients like a burden rather than people in need of care. I am appalled by the rigid, unfriendly, and frankly counter-intuitive policies of this office. As a fellow health care professional, I have never seen anything like this: Refusal of Care for Acute Symptoms: In an alarming move for an ophthalmology practice, the doctor refused to treat me when I presented with acute symptoms requiring an exam. Instead of receiving medical attention, I was told to find a different doctor. Hostile Scheduling Policies: Their rescheduling policy is punitive. My husband attempted to move an appointment ONCE providing several days' notice. He was barred from rescheduling into an open slot and told he was "relegated" to a four-month waitlist before he could even call back to try again. Unprofessional Communication: When we sought clarification on these bizarre rules, we were met with hostility from the front desk and told to find care somewhere else. Our experience is not unique. This is how the Dr operates his practice. It truly feels as though this office actively looks for reasons not to treat patients. Between the unreasonable gatekeeping at the front desk and the doctor's refusal to address urgent needs, this practice is a liability to the community. Save yourself the stress and find a provider who actually values patient health and basic professional courtesy.

Edwin Chen staff gives contradictory information. Staff member working on Monday gives excellent…read morecustomer service and information another one on Wednesday (Julie) seems very unexperienced with insurance knowledge or following their own protocols getting information. Julie would not transfer me to supervisor or anyone else but suggested I will find different provider. I'm assuming she is acting like this with Doctor Chen permission. It all came to trying to schedule appointment for September when I'm back in town for recurring "pink eye". She would not schedule appointment unless it is tomorrow otherwise I can call back in September. Then she hang up.

She is highly skilled and professional as well as supportive and kind! From our first visit to the present, she has welcomed questions and explained things clearly. Her staff continue to check in by phone after visits to follow up on any further needs. I highly recommend Dr. Afshari and the Shiley Eye Institute for their excellent quality of care and expertise! Thank you! Rebecca Moore

There are a couple good doctors here but overall, I would run away if you are referred here. I…read morerecently went blind a while under care here and the aftercare I received was nonexistent.. I was sent to another specialist in Los Angeles and when I called the center to have all my records sent over they failed and did not do it. Don't even attempt to call them by phone because the person that answers the phone isn't even on the hospital grounds so trying to get any help will be worthless. If you get a doctor that actually looks you in the eye when he talks to you and doesn't just berate students consider yourself lucky. You don't even feel like a patient in the room there. I also tried to receive psychological care, and because a referral was incorrectly filled out. I was basically told to buzz off.. There is no option for zero stars, but if you get sent here, there is probably something wrong with you, but I would definitely look at other options
