The reviews listed below were collected independently of Central Valley Eye Medical Group through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Yang was very compassionate and he explained what the numbers meant that he was reading off to the tech. No other doctor explains it like that and there could be something going on in my right eye, like glaucoma. I have a follow up appt. He's very professional and I felt comfortable with his assessment.
