Patient Reviews
Mar 26, 2023
Dr. Hwang shows great concern for her patients. i had a cornea transplant and woke without thinking and rubbed my eye. i went from seeing beautiful to blurring vision -- she is trying to fix the problem and I trust she will accomplish the problem one way or the other . i have confidence in her ability as a surgeon. she is warm- kind and caring --i still need a transplant in the other eye and just it to her.
