Patient Reviews
Feb 13, 2024
When I saw his staff for my 2nd eye cataract surgery I found his staff, Asst. Dr. unsavory after a the very long testing process. That Dr. told me my eye wasn't a problem, disputed my description of how blurry my vision was night driving. When Dr. Lin came in he said I was borderline for surgery & left it up to me or not. He was totally congenial.I elected for surgery.Next I was called by his scheduler & that’s where it all went south. That person gave me a date & started reading off rules. He talked to me like I was a PFC in basic training. It would be kind to say he was rude. I was thrown off guard by his hard demeanor, about having an escort after surgery. When I asked him questions about that, as I didn’t recall my escort in 2021 COVID period, he said if you didn’t comply you will be “Blacklisted”! I couldn’t believe my ears! I never said I wouldn’t comply, just needed to explore options.Turns out later my date was cut! He said I was now Blacklisted for asking too many questions!
