Patient Reviews
Dec 01, 2024
I was diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and Pseudoexfoliation syndrome in both eyes, currently at a moderate stage. It’s proven to be a fairly stubborn case. Since March 2023, I have been under the care of Dr. Tsai (Ophthalmology, Mount Sinai), who initially performed an SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) procedure on my left eye. While the SLT was successful, it wasn’t quite enough to control my condition fully. We tried various eye drops afterward but couldn’t achieve the desired results.A month ago, Dr. Tsai performed a Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C on my left eye. So far, the results have been promising, and I no longer need to use eye drops in that eye.Dr. Tsai is an outstanding doctor—highly skilled, professional, and remarkably approachable. He takes the time to explain procedures thoroughly and answers all my questions with patience. I highly recommend him to anyone facing similar challenges.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
