I had an eye problem and needed to see one of the providers. When I called, I was able to secure an appointment in a day.. I met Dr. Nirenberg for the first time. I was so impressed with their thoroughness and his old-School ways, ensuring that I was well taken care of. He took the time to explain everything to me and provide me with a solution to my problem. I’ve also seen Dr. McKee and Dr. Crump from this office and they are extremely thorough incompetent. While I have to wait a while it’s because they’re doing a thorough incompetent job. I see others of complained about the time for some of the checks, but I think those are really important in making sure that they made the right diagnosis and recommendation for the patients.
My optomerist referred me to EVO and Dr. Kao since I needed bilateral cataract surgery. I survived a bilateral knee replacement last year, even while spending 17 days in in patient rehab after the first one. So surgery is a big deal, even though I had been assured by many friends that this - cataract replacement - was no big deal. So it was with no small apprehension that I went in to surgery. But then, I could see. Not a little better, but better than I have seen in 35 years. No more glasses, no contacts, and even very limited use of "readers" The staff was OUTSTANDING. I remember while waiting in the hall for one of the many tests, an elderly woman in front of me was having a difficult time and tech was so kind, gentle and patient with her. Thrughout the experience the staff, front office and nursing staff was wonderful, professional and reassuring. My one and only criticism is - as one previous reviewer noted - Dr. Kao - however competent (based on the results)- has the beside manner of a turnip. At the end of the say, I can see better than I have in years! And that is worth a bushel of turnips!
Very friendly staff we were greeted by Tracy. She even got up from her chair to help a lady in a wheel chair open the door. I like this location better for my dad less people in and out quickly as can be and no chaos and long lines.
Dr. McKee and his team are fabulous. Dr. McKee went over my options carefully with me so I knew I was making the best decision. My vision after cataract surgery is stupendous!
My wife has been a patient at this office since 2020. Just recently we had a terrible interaction with their billing department. We were informed the day before my wife appointment that he balance was sent to collections and we would have to pay our $250 balance before she was seen. We went to her appointment anyway thinking something must be able to be done. Come the day of the appointment the office staff start off by not having her insurance correct (problem one), then proceed to just had us a card and tell us we need to call billing because nothing can be done in office. I call to speak with Melissa in billing and she was the most unprofessional and condescending excuse for a human I have spoken to in a very long time. Not only did she raise her voice to me, but when I asked if there was a payment plan or what was the minimum amount to get my wife seen today she would just repeat $250 over and over like a child would. Bottom line is clearly this office has become profit over patient, if they are willing to delay patient care over a couple hundred dollars (that they most definitely would have gotten had they spoken with kindness) NO ONE should be going here! Patients beware of poor billing practices! Dr. Kao has been good to my wife but his staff promotes a bad image for his practice.
This is an amazing clinic the doctors and staff are excellent. They really know their skills. The equipment is state of the art. Im glad i found this place for my eye procedure
My 94 year old mother was referred here in March. We made an appointment for April; they called to change it to end of day in June; they called to make it earlier in the day, which I cannot do because I have a full-time job and have to drive my Mom. They didn't care and were going to push the appointment out to September. My Mom is 94 years old - hopefully she's still with me in September, but it should not take over 7 months to get an appointment. They didn't care at ALL on the phone - I'll find someone else, I would advise others do the same.
I had cataract surgery on both eyes here. The surgical nurses were great. Dr. Kao, while a good surgeon, has the bedside manner of a turnip. Perhaps that's his personality, but when he's performing surgery on someone's eye who has never had eye surgery before, he should have a little more compassion.
I was given a referral by my primary care to see a doctor at this location. I’m deaf, I can’t make phone calls so opted to walk into the office to make an appointment. There was a gal at the desk probably 6 feet away sitting. I probably was loud being I have zero volume control from being deaf, I explained I’m deaf and need to make an appointment. The woman had zero interest in making any attempt for me to understand her, she wouldn’t even stand up from her chair and walk to me to read what papers I had. I know the doctors here are top notch , I assume having someone like this as their scheduler or first person they deal with is killing their office reputation. I simply told her I’m leaving. She didn’t care if they lost a patient or not. I can assure them being deaf I was not cared for ethically and won’t leave this alone. God bless and this type of person is why we are failing as a community.
Dr Nirenberg is great doctor,, efficient and precise answers all my questions and explains everything in detail
