If my husband had not been so well taken care of by Dr. Colin Kim, I would have given this clinic one star. If he had been taken care of by Dr. Kim for every visit I would have given this four stars. If I could just review Dr. Kim it would be 5+ stars. We were told we had to come in the afternoon for our fourth visit because Dr. Tu had to see my husband again. Unfortunately, Dr. Kim was not in the clinic that day. So we had an appointment in the afternoon and finally after waiting an hour and 45 minutes we told the staff member checking us in that we had ...
The valet V.I.P is amazing and quick, very much convenient. The new building is spacious and clean and organized. The waiting room is clean and the view is amazing.

Very good experience, your wait maybe 15 minutes. Everyone is kind.
Everything from the start was great. The guy that checked me in was very polite. The eye student done a wonderful job of asking questions and checking everything. And the 2 doctor's that came in to teach her explained everything to where I could understand.
