The level of care and attention I received during my cataract surgery was outstanding. The surgeon explained everything thoroughly, and the procedure went smoothly. My vision has been restored, and it feels like a miracle. Thank you for changing my life!

Dr Wang performed cataract surgery on my eye last month. He was fantastic from my initial consult with him, through the surgery and the last post-op today. Dr Wang explains everything very clearly and patiently. As soon as my retina doctor clears me for another cataract surgery, I will definitely schedule it with Dr Wang. I feel blessed to be a patient of his.
