The staff that is in the main lobby is attentive and helpful when you first enter for an appointment. I have had eye problems and they've always assisted me in making sure that I was checked in properly. Identification, Medicare, and insurance are asked for at the beginning of your appointment. I've always found it helpful to arrive early for an appointment to make sure that there is time to adequately fill out new paperwork. I was able to find a chair to wait to be called in to an office to check my eyes and update my medications. I then waited in another waiting room for specific tests needed to be administered before I saw the doctor. There is an interior waiting room available to wait to be called to the doctor. The doctor that I visited was Dr Chu. He came in and went over the charts and examination results with me. I was impressed by his thorough concise report. When we were finished, he set up the next appointment. All in all, it took about a little more than an hour for the entire appointment. There was quite a waiting list so I understand having to wait for some appointments. There is parking available for this office on the side streets as well as underground parking. Parking is not free. But is usually available in the parking garage underneath. This office exceeded my expectations. I expect my next visit to be as productive as this one.

    Great office and great staff. Always friendly and understanding. Dr Liao is excellent and a…read moreterrific surgeon

    Dr. Khaled Tawansy is a dedicated and highly skilled surgeon who saved my sight when other…read morefacilities would not. I am immensely grateful for his care; thanks to his work, I can see light and color again. Despite having an incredibly busy schedule, he performed my emergency surgery for a detached retina the same day I was referred to him. His expertise turned a terrifying situation--where I was facing total blindness--into a success. Dr. Khaled Tawansy is clearly a physician who prioritizes his patients' well-being and his focus remains entirely on providing vital, life-altering care. He was willing to take on my case when others deprioritized it, and I couldn't be more thankful for his professionalism and commitment.

    If there is one physician I would entrust with my eyesight without a moment's hesitation, it is Dr…read more Khaled Tawansy. He is an extraordinary ophthalmologist, retinal and cornea surgeon and specialist whose exceptional skill, compassion, and unwavering commitment to his patients distinguish him as one of the finest physicians I have ever met. I am one of the many patients whose vision has been restored through Dr. Tawansy's remarkable expertise. He successfully repaired a tear in the macula of my left eye, a highly delicate and complex procedure that restored my vision in a way I never imagined possible. He also performed cataract surgery on my right eye and vitreous surgery on both of my eyes. Every procedure was executed with extraordinary precision, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. Dr. Tawansy's expertise extends far beyond routine eye care. He performs some of the most intricate ophthalmic procedures, including delicate retinal surgeries on infants, a responsibility entrusted only to surgeons of the highest caliber. His reputation as both a retinal surgeon and cornea specialist reflects the exceptional level of confidence that patients and fellow physicians place in his knowledge and surgical abilities. What truly sets Dr. Tawansy apart, however, is the genuine care and personal attention he gives every patient. In an age when many physicians are only accessible during scheduled appointments, Dr. Tawansy remains remarkably hands-on. He personally returns phone calls and text messages when patients have concerns, and he routinely follows up a few days after surgery to make sure they are recovering well. That level of accessibility and compassion is exceedingly rare and demonstrates his unwavering dedication to the well-being of those under his care. Although I live in South Orange County, I gladly drive all the way to Pasadena because I know my eyesight is in the hands of a physician I trust completely. The trip is well worth it for the confidence and peace of mind I receive every time I see him. Dr. Tawansy combines world-class surgical expertise with genuine kindness, humility, and an exceptional bedside manner that makes every patient feel valued and reassured. Without reservation, I give Dr. Khaled Tawansy my highest recommendation. If you or a loved one is facing any condition affecting the retina, cornea, cataracts, or other complex eye disorders, you will be hard-pressed to find a more skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy ophthalmologist. Thanks to Dr. Tawansy, I have been given the priceless gift of restored vision, and for that I will always be profoundly grateful.
