Very caring and thorough in examinations.

I feel like I was not treated with individualized concern by the techs or Doctor. I was tested on a machine that I never used before and deserved an explanation as to what and why it was being used. When Doctor Ung came in to see me, she looked at the pictures of my eyes on the screen without explaining anything, then checked my eyes with her bright light took, then said everything is stable I will see you in 6 months. My eyes were completely dilated and I felt like… what in the world just happened??? I had a delayed response after I left with my husband and thought, I think I would like to request another retina specialist because of my impersonal experience.
