Dr. Tian himself was very friendly and knowledgeable but the wait time was extremely terrible. Each time I have been to this office I’ve waited at least 20 minutes past my appointment time, and most recently I had to wait for an hour. This is not the office to go to if you have a busy schedule.
Very upbeat and answered all my questions
I am very happy with the results of my cataract surgery. Dr Tian was caring, professional and supportive I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
I had 2 wasted visits. Why would you open other offices without all services available? I went to Brighton and Westminster offices to find out you only do anionic membranes and serum drops at the Cherry Creek office. I told him I don't like driving downtown. He said Cherry Creek is not downtown. I have to drive through downtown to get to Cherry Creek! I have so much trouble getting out. I postponed the appointment 3 time because I was in too much pain to go out. Why doesn't Tian review the patient list and tell people when they are scheduled for the wrong place.
Left a floater dangling after laser & I had to return & have it redone. Also indicated the wrong eye on the prescription. Unacceptable work from a doctor.
Excellent care given to me!
We loved his patience and the way he explained every step of the procedure. He was gentle, and took his time with us.
When everyone else said " I can't do it". Dr Tian we will get it done no problem. It was 2 very unique cataracts. He absolutely 💯 did it! Very nice. Always has a smile.
Explained what he was doing. Answered all my questions
Very knowledgeable & personable/caring
