I love helping to transform the visual part of patients’ lives either through surgery, a new pair of glasses, or figuring out a complex eye problem.
My father developed a significant, recurring inflammatory problem with his eyes when I was a teenager. He underwent several surgeries and treatments, and I was scared he would go blind. I remember thinking that I didn’t want other children to go through that scenario and vowed to figure out a way to prevent this condition from affecting others. I ended up working in the lab of my father’s eye surgeon and through those experiences I knew, once I entered medical school, that I would become an eye surgeon.
I love interacting with so many people from different walks of life each day. Whether they have a sight-threatening condition like glaucoma, need cataract surgery, or just need a new supply of contacts, it’s really satisfying to be in a position to help people see better.
I try my hardest to listen to each patient 'with my eyes,' and to treat them as if they were my own family — with care and compassion. I want each patient to leave knowing that their questions were heard and addressed and that we have a solution to a problem, or we are working hard to find that solution.
"I want to give each patient the best possible vision. I have the privilege as an eye surgeon to serve others, to listen to their needs, and to do my best to help them see better."
Very efficient and competent!
very professional, and a real nice man, explained everything well ,
Really like that he is thorough! It makes us feel confident in his recommendations.
Outstanding Doctor
Great Doctor!
Gave me a complete exam and answered all my questions
Always a great experience. Everyone friendly and professional.
I feel he could do more on education to keep eyes healthy before the patient has eye problems. Ex what foods to eat and what foods(sugar) can cause problems for eyes.
I appreciate Dr Tsai's way of explaining the results of the tests. He was patient and answered my questions thoroughly.
Good appointment, and my questions were answered.
