He's the best. Very friendly and caring. Takes time to explain things and a great listener.
Staff and Dr Poon are very professional and friendly.
Awesome Doctor!!
Excellent doctor who makes me confident about my treatment and getting shots in my eye.
He is the best doctor.
Dr. Poon was very personable and informative, however he speaks just a little too fast for me; I'm not as sharp as I used to be.
Bedside manor was the worst. Seem like he was trying to get as many people done as fast as he could. He was rough and unsympathetic to my pain and discomfort
Very pleasant and friendly and his explanation of my condition was clear and comforting.
Very thorough examination and explanation.
I’m blessed to be under Dr. Poon’s care for my retina issues. He is kind, gentle, very thorough and intelligent.
