Dr. Yap was great! He’s extremely nice and explains things incredibly clear. He was able to figure out why I was losing my vision and my eyes were in so much pain! He even waited for me to get there, even though they were closing, just so I didn’t struggle through the weekend!

Dr Yap was great, though there were a lot of miscommunications with the receptionists regarding what I needed done and which doctor could do it. As it turns out my visit was a waste of time and money, but my time with Dr Yap was informative, and he seemed knowledgeable and capable.
