I have been seeing Dr. Sherleen Chen for many, many years and she is just the greatest eye doctor I would imagine anywhere. That's all I have to say. I am very pleased with her and I'm just glad I have the pleasure of having her as my doctor. Thank you.
This provider is kind considerate and very knowledgeable in working with patients and taking care of their medical needs.
My appointment was scheduled for 3pm and I wasn't seen until 5pm. This is the second time my appointment was over 2 hours late.
If you can reduce the total time from first technician taking measurements to discharge.
Wonderful physician! [redacted]
