“Dr He was exceptional. She is an amazing communicator. She is very knowledgeable and an academia practitioner. She is thorough and takes the time to address all concerns. She was able to capture a great history which helped her discern exactly what the problem is based on the presentation. I was very confortable with her. My spouse also sees her as his ophthalmologist. As a new patient to the practice, I am very impress.”

Dr. He was super friendly as was her staff. Wait time was a little long but I think that was actually an anomaly. I would highly recommend her if you have any issue with your eyes or simply need a routine exam.

The office was exceptionally well maintained, and the waiting area provided ample space for clients. Additionally, there was no requirement to complete any paperwork upon arrival.
March 31, 2026GREGORY P.Verified patient
Dr. He is pleasant and knowledgeable but the office is dificult to work with. Phone calls get bounced around and never answered. Followup care is difficult to get from the office. My bloodwork request wasn't properly filled out so I was turned away at the lab. Trying to get a hold of the office has proven incredibly difficult. Will not be returning.
