Patient Reviews
Jul 10, 2018
Dr. Chiu became my eye specialist after poor experiences at another eye clinic. He is professional, efficient, and thorough. He willingly and thoroughly answers questions and addresses concerns. He just performed cataract surgery on me, and the entire experience was positive indlueint front office, nurses, and staff as well as Dr. Chiu. I received a call from him later in the day of the surgery to ask if all was well. With more than one vision condition, I feel totally confident in his care.
