Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One great eye doctor.
I've been using Dr. Tai for years and I would never go anywhere else. It's great to have doctors that are so good that you can count on them and not have to worry about looking for a different doctor. She's as good as it gets in every respect.

I saw a few surgeons for eye surgeries to get rid of reading glasses, and I am glad I went with Dr. Tai. I no long need glasses for reading or driving. Very happy with my choice!

I couldn't have been happier with Dr Tai as my eye doctor. Dr Tai was able to give me a clear diagnosis and treatment plan right away after checking my eyes. My vision is as clear as I wanted now after having surgery. Dr Tai is a very personable and experienced eye doctor.

Dr. Tai has taken care of all my optical needs for close to 5 years and I couldn't ask for a better physician. She did cataract surgeries on both eyes - no pain, fast recovery, and very clear vision afterwards. Highly recommend Dr. Tai!

Because I was afraid, I put off having cataract surgery until I flunked the eye exam at DMV. Dr Audrey Tai was referred to me and after meeting with her I was more at ease about the surgery. She is very caring, truly professional and just great. All went well and I couldn't be happier. It's awesome reading without glasses.

Coming from the East Coast, it was important for me to find a doctor who specializes in cataract surgery. I asked around and Dr. Tai seemed to be the most frequent name given, and she did not disappoint. I wouldn't trust my eyes to anyone else at this point.

I’m so glad I’ve found Dr Audrey Tai as my eye doctor. I had a difficult cataract sugery elsewhere and my vision was really bad. Now I can see well enough to drive after getting a cornea transplant by Dr Tai. Dr Tai was really caring and patient with me through the whole process. Her whole team was excellent too. A big thumbs up to Dr Tai and her team!

My 88 year old mother had a procedure done today. Dr. Tai was nasty and did not allow my brother to hear the after care instructions. Being 88 and wearing two hearing aids that was very unprofessional should not be the behavior of a care giver. Have a little compassion and heart. You don't work in a factory. One day you will be 88.

I had been to several other eye doctors before I found Dr. Audrey Tai. I have a difficult to manage eye condition, and I feel that no doctor was able to understand my condition the way Dr. Tai does. I am so happy I was finally referred to the right doctor for me.
