    Palisadians had the trauma of the fire, then all of us at some point or another were terrorized by…read morethe government, our insurer, and/or a service provider. As I worked tirelessly to help family and friends rally to rebuild, I also assisted seniors who couldn't easily navigate the digital world in remediating their homes. Both journeys brought unique stressors and predators upon our vulnerable population. On President's Day, a landscaping vendor at my parent's home sent yet another email threat in an 8 month campaign of terror (sent only on holidays and weekends) and fraud. Not only did the Landscaper target an individual in trauma from fire, but a senior woman who he knew to be suffering from dementia. Here's how this ties into Dr. Yeh: In direct response to the email, my blood pressure skyrocketed, I immediately lost vision in left eye, and thought I was having a stroke. When firemen cleared me, I called Dr. Yeh on a holiday and immediately got me in soon thereafter. She correctly identified the issue, referred me to a retinal specialist for intervention, and stayed in waiting room with me as I called to ensure I had the appointment. Turn back the clock to the year prior. My January 7, 2025 to do list in town included picking up my first new pair of eyeglasses in a decade after an impeccable, comprehensive eye exam that had my vision better than ever. I was excited, then most of our sweet town burned to the ground. I knew Dr.Polan's building survived. I had contact lenses at Shutters where we stayed for 6 months, but I switch to glasses as night. I could survive without but life's easier with eyeglasses. I had nothing so eyeglasses weren't an immediate priority. I didn't even think of following up with Dr. Polan's (consistently incredible front office) as Palisadians weren't even allowed back into the Palisades for a month. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from Dr.Yeh asking where I was living to send my glasses. I told her and before I knew it; she personally delivered to Shutters. Again, IN THE WAKE OF A CATASTROPHIC FIRE WHERE HER FAMILY LOST THEIR HOME, DR.YEH CARED ENOUGH TO DRIVE MY NEW EYEGLASSES TO SHUTTERS. Good luck getting that kind of care from a doctor outside of the Palisades. I have no doubt that much of the reason for Dr.Polan's reopening was made possible by the devoted staff and Dr.Yeh supporting him. When beat up by life and broken by a predatory vendor, the antidote for healing is connecting with kind strangers and vendors who make anything about life easier. I appreciate Dr.Yeh for being one of those who lifted me up with the highest level of care and competency.

    Marta was so empathetic about our house burning down in the Palisades fire. She was so caring and…read morekind in trying to help me with my insurance. Thank you Marta!

    We arrived in LA and I discovered I had left my glasses at home. I have a complex varifocal…read moreprescription so I can't just buy glasses off the shelf. I needed something urgently for distance vision as we were only in Santa Monica for 2 days before going to Fiji. I researched opticians via AI then called Montana Optometry and explained my situation. They were happy to help so I jumped in an Uber and went down to see them so they could take measurements and I could choose frames. I took some spare contact lenses with me as I didn't have my prescription with me. I ask if they could do single vision glasses at -7. They looked at my contacts and said that I needed 'seven and change' and asked me to contact my opticians in the UK for my prescription. Because of the time difference this was possible, and Montana Optometry said they could make me the glasses the next day. I got the prescription and emailed it over to them so they would have it by the time they opened. We then went out for the day. As promised Montana Optometry couriered the new glasses direct to our hotel and we were given them by the concierge. I can't believe they made the glasses and got them to me in less than 24 hours. I was absolutely thrilled and amazed. This could never have happened in the UK. They literally saved my holiday! Thanks so much to Stephanie and David, you are true legends!
