Dr sou told my son he had a lot of patients. He is obviously overworked. I had second thoughts after the three hour wait to see him every time. He did my cataract surgery and now I have a halo of light around my eye affecting night driving. I was hoping it would get better but over time got worse and now I have three halos. My gut told me not to let him do it. I should have gone with my gut

He did my father’s cataract surgery and my father is very happy with the results. My father no longer wears glasses and he can read and drive without any problems. We recommended him to all people we know as a best doctor. 100 Stars!

This doctor is never less than a three hour wait. One time I didn’t get out until the staff went home and the place was dark. Having cataract surgery he gave me my post op drops before the operation so being too busy to tell me that I naturally started using them before surgery. When my son asked a question he responded “do you know how many patients I have”. My surgery did not go well and I feel lucky to still have vision in that eye. Go to someone less busy unless of course you don’t mind the long wait and the overworked overtired doctor

I do have to wait but I don't mind. He has many, many patients so I understand and he's worth the wait. Even though, he's very busy, he takes the time to explain everything and answer my questions & concerns. He's thorough and articulate. His assistant will print out follow-up care for me so I don't have to remember. I would ever consider changing eye doctors.
