Dr. Tian is an outstanding Dr. My surgery was a very complicated removal of old cataract lenses and putting new lenses back in. Not many Dr.s would want to attempt to do this surgery. Dr. Tian took on this challenge with confidence and expertise. I had my year follow up appointment last week and he was very happy with my results. I’m very happy too. I know I chose the perfect Dr. He’s the best!!!
