Unfortunately, what they lack ends up a longer list. The first MA was unable to get a vial of blood and said someone else would try on my other arm with a straight needed (vs butterfly). She left me without even putting a bandaid on the arm she poked and I had to struggle to put the bandaid on one handed while still maintaining pressure on it. Next MA comes and draws blood and when she's done she yelps I don't have a cotton ball (to put on the vein she just drew out of) and my blood is just pooling while she puts a bandaid on. Luckily I'm well versed enough to know I needed to put pressure on my bandaid. The NP who saw me was new to (per the MA) she really didn't put my mind at ease. Her expertise and knowledge seemed lacking based on the answers to my questions. First thing she asked me was, why are you here and not the ER? I told her my PCP sent me here because she didn't feel it necessitated a ER visit. She wanted me to be evaluated by YOU to assess and in your medical opinion, do I need to be seen further or what course of action next? She swabbed me for flu and covid and I verbally questioned her because I had isolated severe GI symptoms. She said sometimes those present wither GI only. Does it? I don't know, I'm not an MD but I'm also someone who works in healthcare and it didn't feel like the proper procedure. When I asked if she would be ordering any stool samples, I heard through my closed door "do we do that?". Ok, she's new, I'll give her that...but she comes back in and says "if you'd like to have the order for stool testing I'm happy to give that to you." Am I the md or am I the patient? I came here for your professional medical opinion! Do I?! So after I kindly communicated that I am looking to her for her opinion as the expert whether or not my symptoms necessitate an order, she still doesn't quite give me a direct answer! I haven't been to that many urgent cares, but I've come to see a trend that many of the urgent cares that are owned by a company with multiple locations don't have MD's on staff physically there. That said, I've also noticed the trend that many provide sub-par care.

I came in specifically because I was feeling unwell and suspected a blood sugar issue--especially since lab work from a different clinic the prior week showed a fasting glucose level high enough to indicate diabetes. Despite explaining this, the Physician Assistant (PA) dismissed my concerns, told me I "didn't fit the profile" for diabetes, and ordered a thyroid panel instead. Three days later, the support staff called to tell me they lost my blood sample and needed me to come back in. When I expressed frustration that they lost my sample for a test I didn't even ask for--while still refusing to run the metabolic panel I actually needed--the staff member literally hung up on me. I only returned the next day because it is within walking distance of my house and I was having the same feeling again, wanting to get to the bottom of what was happening. While the PA on duty that day was attentive, she ended up sending me to the ER for my blood pressure. After waiting four hours at the hospital, the ER doctor confirmed it wasn't an emergency at all. To top it all off, I received another call from the urgent care informing me that they did eventually run a metabolic panel, and my A1C and fasting glucose levels are, in fact, indicative of diabetes. Between the PA completely dismissing a patient's concerns, the staff losing blood samples, and being hung up on, the lack of professionalism and competence here is alarming. Go somewhere else.

I am writing this review for people who find themselves struggling after cataract surgery, IOL…read moreimplantation, or blepharoplasty and are being told--explicitly or implicitly--that "everything looks fine" and that they should simply wait it out and "just adapt." In my case, although the surgeries themselves were technically perfect, the repeated reassurance that my symptoms would simply go away--or that they were things no Doctors on their team had really encountered before--turned out to be completely wrong. After cataract surgery with IOL implants, I experienced severe difficulty adapting. My vision became extremely sensitive to contrast, light, color saturation, motion, and visual complexity. I suffered from what looked like shimmering or flickering images--especially in my periphery. Environments that had always felt normal suddenly became overwhelming. My ophthalmic surgeons were excellent surgeons, but they openly acknowledged that they did not have tools or training to address what I was experiencing from a neurological or visual-processing standpoint. After about a month of significant distress, I found Dr. Terry Tsang through ChatGPT--something I never expected to say--and scheduled an appointment. From the very first visit, it was clear I was in the right place. Dr. Tsang immediately recognized the constellation of symptoms I was describing. What shocked me was not that my case was uncommon--most people adapt quickly to IOLs--but that so many other clinicians had been unfamiliar with these issues at all. She was not. She understood neuro-visual adaptation, post-IOL sensory disruption, contrast sensitivity overload, and binocular coordination problems immediately. More importantly, she had the diagnostic tools, structured therapy protocols, and experienced staff to actually treat them. I attended one-hour sessions twice a week. Between visits, I was given targeted home exercises. The therapy began with very basic visual retraining and gradually increased in complexity as my system relearned what it had done automatically for more than six decades--convergence, divergence, depth perception, peripheral integration, distance and near coordination. All of these had been thrown out of sync by the sudden optical changes from surgery. The process was not emotionally easy. For a long time, I wasn't sure it would work, and the visual disruption had a real depressive effect. Dr. Tsang was consistently calm, reassuring, and precise--never dismissive, never vague, and never overly optimistic without reason. Complicating matters further, I had also undergone upper eyelid blepharoplasty. While it is often said that blepharoplasty does not affect vision, in rare cases it absolutely can. My eyelids opened significantly more--roughly 30%--which meant vastly more light and visual data entering my eyes. My brain, which had become efficient by filtering input for decades, was suddenly overwhelmed. This compounded the IOL adaptation problem and created severe neurological overload. Once again, Dr. Tsang understood exactly what was happening and adjusted treatment accordingly. Her staff deserves special mention. They are exceptionally friendly, professional, and highly competent. Being in the office was genuinely pleasant, which made the therapy far less burdensome than it could have been. After several months, the rehabilitation was complete. I am no longer suffering. My vision feels natural again. The world no longer feels visually aggressive or overwhelming. I have fully recovered. If you are struggling after cataract surgery, IOL implants, blepharoplasty, or experiencing unexplained difficulty with visual adaptation, contrast sensitivity, light sensitivity, or neurological overload--and you've been told to "just wait"--I strongly recommend Dr. Terry Tsang with complete confidence.

But after searching with ChatGPT, I learned that patients like me with extremely highly developed visual acuity and visual processing skills, will suffer from far more difficult and protracted adaption phases.

Before leaving the office that day, I was scheduled for surgery in December 2025 and was given a list of requirements that had to be completed before the procedure. Over the next several months, I spent a significant amount of time preparing for this surgery. I had to schedule and attend multiple appointments at different medical offices, including visits to my family doctor for an EKG, blood work, and surgical clearance. Because I also have macular edema, I was required to receive my regular eye injection before surgery. All required records and test results were completed and sent to Dr. Ghiasi's office well before the scheduled surgery date. At my pre-surgery appointment, Dr. Ghiasi told me that a medication needed for the surgery was on backorder and might delay the procedure. This explanation did not make sense to me because my surgery had been scheduled for months, and it seemed like any medication shortages should have been known much earlier. In my opinion, this felt more like an excuse than a legitimate reason for concern. During that same visit, I was told that a standard lens would be used for my cataract surgery. However, I was later asked to pay $430 out of pocket, which I paid over the phone after being told the surgery would proceed. To this day, I do not understand why I was charged this amount if a standard lens was being used. My insurance said that additional out-of-pocket charges are typically associated with premium lens options, not standard lenses. After months of preparation, multiple appointments, medical testing, obtaining clearances, and paying the requested fee, I was shocked when the surgery was canceled only two days before the scheduled date. The office provided another explanation that I found difficult to believe after everything that had already happened. At the time of the cancellation, I was rescheduled for February 2026. However, the office later called again and left a message saying that appointment would also need to be postponed. By that point, I had completely lost confidence in the office and no longer felt comfortable trusting them with my care, so I did not return the call. From August 2025 until the final cancellation and postponement, I invested months of my time, energy, and effort preparing for this surgery. The repeated delays, last-minute cancellation, lack of clear communication, and unexplained $430 charge caused unnecessary stress and frustration. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Ghiasi or this office.
