This clinic is a disgrace, and I strongly urge anyone reading this to stay far away. They are unprofessional, incompetent, and downright exploitative. After the nightmare my mother endured, I feel obligated to warn others.
My mother needed cataract surgery for one eye--a straightforward procedure. She informed the clinic of the urgency, as she wanted to recover in time for my wedding. Instead of focusing on her needs, they took advantage of her situation. They pressured her into an unnecessary and expensive upgrade: laser vision correction for both eyes, even though only one eye needed surgery. This added thousands extra to the cost, which they made sound like the only logical option. They painted it as more advanced, precise, and faster, but it turned out to be nothing but a cash grab.
Dr. Tam was the doctor that performed the surgery. The first surgery (on her right eye) seemed fine at first, but after the second surgery, she started seeing double. At her follow-up, they revealed that both surgeries had been botched due to incorrect measurements. Unbelievably, they had to redo surgeries on both eyes.
When they redid the first surgery, they conveniently "forgot" she had paid for laser treatment and performed the procedure manually when we paid for laser! This was completely unacceptable and they only got it right on the next eye because I personally stepped in and called them out on it. Dr. Tam's excuse? "No surgery is guaranteed 100% accurate." Then why was my mother pressured into paying thousands for your so-called "cutting-edge" technology?
The clinic dragged out her recovery time to over four weeks, causing her to lose unpaid workdays--something they knew about and did nothing to address. When I requested her surgery records to explore legal action, they stonewalled us, ignored our requests, and even tried to charge us for access to her own medical documents. Their behavior reeks of negligence and dishonesty.
It's clear this clinic cares only about their profits, not their patients. They rely on fine print and legal loopholes to protect themselves from accountability, leaving patients like my mother to bear the emotional, financial, and physical burden of their mistakes.
This clinic is dangerous and incompetent. Save yourself the stress, heartache, and financial loss--go elsewhere. read more
