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.

As always Dr. Taylor was amazing. He is the best clinician and his professional excellence is matched by his kindness and compassion. I look forward to my annual exam with him and know I could not ask for a better provider.

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.

Dr explained in detail the various aspects of my cataracts, that they were not interfering with my eyesight, that I therefore needed no treatment at this time. My concerns were completely resolved.

It seemed that Dr. Taylor was upset with me that I didn't plan to have my eyes dilated for the appointment. He didn't take time to talk with me, explain his recommendation, see what concerns I had, etc. It was an unpleasant visit.

I saw the doctor for about 2 minutes. He didn't test my new prescription. He merely did a 30 second exam of my eyes (shined lights in each eyes) and signed off on the prescription

In fairness to the doctor, he seemed overbooked, likely to pandemic conditions. Patiients were lined up in exam rooms. Because he seemed so hurried, I was unable to address the problems and concerns for which I had made the appointment.

Not much is discussed so I feel like I have to ask questions. It would be nice for the provider to ask "what questions or concerns do you have today" or "anything else?" if they have time.
