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.

Efficient visit; good doc

Arrogant
Dr. Hu did cataract surgery on my right eye in December and I was surprised with his arrogant attitude with me. My optometrist recommended to I mention that I’ve had mono vision contracts for years, so when inquired about mono vision for my cataracts, I was surprised when he just said he would not do it and refused to give me a reason. After he performed cataract surgery on my right eye, he asked me if I was happy with the results. And when I told him I thought my vision would be better, he stepped up to my face and informed me that we would not do surgery on my left eye because I would contact a lawyer. I was shocked with this type of answer.

Dr Hu took the time to explain my options to me, including what limited those options in my overall eye health. He was patient with my questions and really seems to understand how to put a patient at ease

Incredible eye fix with a very nice man!
I had a YAG Capsulotomy with Dr. Hu. He is great! He is very personable and knows exactly what his next step is to make the visit very comfortable and not time consuming. His staff are also very kind. They were very efficient, everything I had a question about was answered fully, and the procedure was a piece of cake! I thought it was just one eye he'd do, but told him the other was getting worse, and I knew I'd be back, so he offered to do both on just the one trip! I was stunned how much better I could see by evening! Dr. Hu is very kind, professional, and thoughtful. I am very, very happy he's my ophthalmologist.

Post Cataract Film Removal
Results of visit are outstanding so far. Very pleased. Taking 90 minutes to do a 30 second procedure seems a bit excessive, but the system they have in place works, so, pry shouldn't mess with it.I am just not a very patient person when it comes to waiting in dr offices and similar places. My bad.

The exam was very thorough and quick. Dr. Hu was very personable and straight forward. He told me I did not need cataract surgery yet based on his findings. I feel I can totally trust him and rely on his expertise for my wellbeing. I really appreciate that.
