Reason for rating: Long wait -40 minutes- before being called to start the appointment.
Otherwise would be a 5 since everyone terrific. Dr Lum himself always exceptional.

Actual appointments with staff regularly start 20 minutes after the scheduled time! A much longer wait than at any other doctor's office.

On time getting me into my appt. I was very concerned about the length of the nails of the technician working on my glaucoma test. At one point her long nail hit my eyelid and luckily my eye was closed. Not professional for a health care provider of eye care to have long, fake nails that she isn’t sanitizing before my care. Next time I will refuse to let her work on me as I was afraid she was going to poke me in the eye.
