I was referred to Dr Richard Ou by my primary doctor, Jesse Feng. And, while I didn't go to see him right away, I did keep his phone # in my doctor's file. However, a severe reaction to a new medication which landed me in the emergency room. With double vision had me hunting for his #. I've previously worked in the medical field and some doctors are staunch and very little beside manners. But Dr. Ou is very professional, highly thorough in his examinations/testing, not to mention his superb bedside manners and sense of humor (and yes, he does have a sense of humor) putting one easily at ease ??

I have been seeing Dr Ou. For 5 years. He made me aware of my cataracts last year but he told me I could wait for surgery which I decided to do this year. I had great results and can see 20/20 now!

I took my 84 year old mother to him in Sugar land as a referral patient. The office staff was horrible to me and her. I finally left -never to return.
