Patient Reviews
Aug 13, 2024
Dr. Lu is an absolute blessing. Our 28 yr old son wasn’t taking care of his diabetes like he should have and developed detached retinas, bleeding behind the eye, scar tissue and cataracts to both eyes and was completely blind in one eye and legally blind in the other. After going to several doctors and specialists Dr. Lu was the doctor that had hope for my sons eyesight and actually saving his eyes. We still have a couple of surgeries to go but the eye he could only see complete blackness he can now see light, objects and fingers!!!! The moment they removed his bandage from his eye and my son started smiling this momma cried tears of happiness. He could see!!! We had been praying for his eyesight to return and God sent us to this amazing doctor who with the help of him restored his eyesight in the right eye. We start the left eye soon and can’t wait to see the outcome. Our son and all of his family can’t thank Dr. Lu enough for giving our son his life back.
