Patient Reviews
Jun 05, 2020
My retinal specialist referred me to Dr. Chiu for cataract surgeries on both eyes. The results she managed to achieve far exceeded my expectations. Both surgeries went well and her post-op appointments were comprehensive. Dr. Chiu’s surgical skills have improved the quality of my life exponentially. For anyone as fearful as I was to undergo eye surgery of any kind, I recommend Dr. Chiu for both her technical brilliance in the operating room and her follow-up care in the office.
