I felt like the assistant did most of the job. The provider was good, but I wanted to check my eyes by the provider, not the assistant.

I was very disappointed with Dr. Taylor. He did not explain that my prescription had changed before giving me options on how to move forward. The prescription he gave me was wrong. I then had to come back for another appointment. That appointment was a nightmare - please call me at [REMOVED] to discuss details.

Most of the care was provided by the assistant, not the doctor. I had hoped to have more direct involvement by/from the doctor. While the asst was very nice and professional, I don't feel the refraction (the main reason I was there) was thorough or complete, leading me to have some skepticism about the value of the resulting lens prescription.

I was given the wrong Rx power on the prescription and so I had to return to get the correct Rx.

Liked Dr. Kim but he was very hands-off when it came to the Lasik procedure--basically said that hey, I can get Lasik now and be fine until I need reading glasses, and then I'll have poor vision again. So, he was great when it came to my current issue (contact lens allergy), but when it came to general knowledge about Lasik and the options for living with this allergy (hard contact lens, glasses or Lasik) he was awful.

The doctor only seemed to want the visit to be over. He didn't talk to us except to say everything looked good and tell us we could leave. When I asked about when we should schedule the next appointment he gave a very vague answer and almost seemed like he didn't care if we came back ever. I was shocked this was a doctors office where you get treated for anything. There was no care or friendliness. We won't be back ever.
