“Professional , competent and friendly staff. The office was modern and very clean. The doctor was highly knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Being that he takes time with the patients, expect a bit of a wait. While waiting I was offered a cup of tea. Overall, a good experience.”

Dr. Yufei Tu is awesome! He is very knowledgeable, respectful, compassionate, and a good listener. He explained the issue affecting my right eye and the procedure to solve it. His diagnosis and treatment were correct because my problem was solved within a few days.
I will highly recommend Dr. Tu to my loved ones and friends!

Good doctor. They overbook so prepare to wait. Good for last minute appointments as they tend to overbook. The trade-off is you'll have to wait over an hour to see the doctor. It is what it is. They speak mandarin and English. The doctor knows but struggles and stutters with English but can get the point across. I came in with an eye infection and they were cautious but didn't make me feel weird about it and treated my situation accordingly. I would come back if I have any other eye emergencies.

amazing doctor . very knowledgeable. clean office . and prompt . fixed me right up after suffering for over a week with poison ivy in my eye thinking it was pink eye. would recommend over many other Opthalmologists for sure. definitely go !
December 8, 2022Blanche B.Verified patient
Doctor was fine and patient and a staff helping me with the tests was professional too, but the staff at front desk is really rude. I called the office for some quick follow up questions but the staff refused to let the doctor know and tried to answer my questions by herself. If I can’t reach the doctor after the visit, what’s the point of going there

We Arrived on time and checked in , but when it was time for copay, there was no indication of cash only. Had to leave the office to go to nearest bank to get cash. such an inconvenience as nothing was mentioned of this prior to visit. At first my son was taken for his exams which was a plus on time but then had us sit back in the waiting area until seen by physician. We noticed two hours + later of still waiting , inquired at front desk to see how soon physician will see us after check in, front desk mentioned we should be next. now as we sit in the waiting area we see physician walk past us and goes to lounge area and we hear him warming up his food in microwave. Walked to front desk and asked how much more since i can hear the dr is having his lunch while we are still waiting. she was she sorry it be a few more minutes. Waited half and hour longer.Livid and ready to leave dr office, dr saw us finally but unfortunately could not explain much at all & caught a pk ticket too.

Good stuff and good doctor
September 17, 2022Mohammad R.Verified patient
Dr. Yufei Tu, and his staff were incredibly friendly and very accommodating. Dr Yufei Tu, was exceptionally knowledgeable in his field and listened to every concern I had. I have been struggling with eye problems for 2 1/2 years and no one has been able to help me until I saw Dr Yufei Tu. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs to see an ophthalmologist.
September 16, 2022Sarah G.Verified patient

Yes! I would definitely go back. The cleanliness and the emphasis put on wiping down surfaces / equipment before and after use was very important to me. Dr. Tu and his staff was very pleasant. What was extremely important to me was that Dr. Tu, listen to what I had to say about my concerns and what I had been experiencing. He also answered all my questions. Which made me feel very comfortable with the decisions he made regarding my diagnosis. My overall experience was postitve and I will definitely recommend Dr. Tu, to my friends and colleagues.
