Dr. Sugiyama is an incredible optometrist/opthamologist. I HIGHLY recommend him. He just doesn't just check your vision; he also checks the health of your eyes. I've been seeing him for over 3 decades. He's truly a gem. I am lucky I found such a caring and competent person to take care of my eyes. He doesn't do surgeries though, just vision and general eye health care.
