Made the appointment the same day and the wait was still short. Office is easy to get to and nearby the hospital for lab tests.

I saw Dr. Yu and he was excellent. Really spent time getting my prescription right and trying to figure out some eye trouble I was having. I left the office seeing better than I did coming in!

Dr. Calman and his support staff were kind and considerate. They explained procedures and were able to answer question quickly and with assurance. Their fees and costs were clear and were adjusted where it wasn't clear insurance wouldn't pay.
