Patient Reviews
Jan 24, 2020
I have been seeing Dr. Chou for about 8 years. I had a very bad injury to my eye with a nail gun. From the first time I met Dr. Chou has been a complete professional who shows me that he cares about not only fixing my eye but my well being as well. He takes the time to explain to me exactly what’s going on, not because he has to but because he wants me to understand. He has performed 3 surgery’s on my cornea and I went from only seeing finger movements to 20/40 which I never would’ve believed I could have. I don’t usually write reviews but I had to because he’s probably the best Dr. I’ve ever met. He’s a gentleman and professional and I would recommend anyone that doesn’t have any hope about their injury or condition with their cornea to see him because they will not be disappointed.
