Hua Gao's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Gao literally saved my vision in my right eye. I had a macular hole in my right eye. Dr Gao explained everything, did excellent follow up care. I now have 20/20 vision in that eye.

Dr. Gao performed surgery on my left retina to remove a scar he said is going to improve my vision. Following the surgery my left eye vision got worse. In my 2 months postoperative appointment. and after waiting almost two hours in the office for him to see me, he admitted that my vision got worse because the retinal surgery induced cataract in my left eye, and that I have to see another eye surgeon to remove the cataract. I was really pissed off????

Not at all. He was not a bad doctor per say but it was like a meat market for my appointment. He only works at the location a couple of days a month so they over-booked the appointments. My appointment was scheduled at 2:30pm but I did not see the doctor till after 4pm and did not get out of the office till after 4:30pm. He wanted me to get a laser procedure done, when I asked for more information about the procedure before scheduling it he told me to google it.

I brought my father to see this doctor and what great results we had. Our neightbor highly recommended Dr Gao. We waited 3 months to see him though. And our first visit was more than 2 hours long (most of it waiting) i think they have scheduling problems there. On the day of surgery, Dr Gao explained everything to us and answered our questions. He is an excellent, caring and gentle doctor.

Dr.Gao is an excellent Dr. with a wonderful bedside manner.The only diffaculty I have isn't necessarily due to him but how patients are scheduled...I have been going to him since the fall of 2010 and have appts. scheduled 2-3 months in advance..The first visit took 4 hours and most of that time waiting. I have never been left waiting during any part of the segments less than a total of 1 1/2 hours. While they do supply snacks and juice in the back waiting room it is an exhausting appt. Last one I took a 45 minute nap in the back waiting room..I realize he is very busy with many emergencies and he himself is worth the wait. But, I often take my lunch with me, because I have a very strict diabetic routine...I still will give his expertise rating the highest rating, I would however, wish for better wait times.

worked with this dr in operation room

this doctor performed surgery on my mother and was excellent. he was so kind and compassionate.

Dr. Gao is very attentive and gets to the bottom of diagnosing and treating the problem. I was blind and could barely anything out of my one eye when I first went to him. Now the black spot that was in the center of my retina has lightened up and my vision has improved. I strongly reccommend him for you or any family member in need of a GOOD Opthamologist.

Excellent, thorough and very knowledgeable. Takes the time to research all aspects of condition and treatments available.
