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.

Excellent. Best Doctor ever

I had an emergency detached retina and was fortunate enough to have Dr. You as my surgeon. He is extremely professional and explains things very well. My vision is back to 20/20 and I'm obviously very happy with the outcome. Very highly recommend Dr. You!!

Too many patients.! Normal waiting time is over 40 minutes every time. Staff attitude is bad. They will ask you to reschedule if you think you wait too long. Unbelievable way to treat patient.

I had an emergency detached retina and Dr. You went above and beyond to meet with me as soon as humanly possible during non working hours and the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. You taught at Brown Univ. and explains things extremely well. He took a conservative approach with me and escalated as needed. I felt he was my partner and advocate. We made treatment decisions together after he thoroughly explained the situation and my options. He has a great bed-side manor too. I felt he really cared about me and the best possible outcome for me. OC Retina had convenient offices, hours, and staffing too. I owe my sight to Dr. You.

Excellent doctor and surgeon. Dr. You is extremely patient, caring and takes time to listen and then explain. Fantastic "bedside manner".

Dr. You saw me immediately after I had a vitreous tear diagnosed in the ED. He saved my vision. He explains everything very thoroughly and encourages questions. He is the very best.

Dr. You is an angel. He is the most caring and capable doctor I have seen. He helped my mother with the failed cataract surgery by another doctor. We went from operating room to his office and two days later he fixed the problem that was caused by another surgeon. We were really stressed out about what had happened. Thank you doctor You for taking care of my mother.

he is an awesome surgeon and takes his time to do a great job. I had a torn retina & later other problems. He took all the time needed to explain in detail to myself and my husband everything we wanted to know and understand. I couldn't recommend any doctor higher.
