Clean, lots of accessible parking, friendly staff, and skilled doctors- now that's what I call a winner.  Originally referred to this clinic by Dr. Fung, my mom recently underwent cataracts surgery at this venue.  She was so nervous...bless her little heart.  Blame her elevated nerves on her silly daughter, but I accidentally drove her to the wrong hospital across the street.  Luckily, I made her tell me a funny story, and she forgot her fear.  

Upon entering, I noticed we were headed to the second floor. Luckily for her, we jumped on the elevator and entered a lobby that resembled some kinda plastic surgery office in Beverly Hills(minus the plastics.) We were greeted with smiles, beautiful hard wood floors, a flat screen TV's, beautiful flowers, and comfy sofa's.  Receptionist was very friendly and she put us at ease.

Putting my mother at ease was the the them of the day.  Everyone kept complementing her pink socks, and that calmed her down.   She was petrified by surgery, but luckily everyone reassured her and made her feel better.   I translated for her...and they took her away.  

Hour later, I was called with a "surgery is over, and your mom did great!" Big sigh  of relief. When I arrived, my mom looked like Martin Scorsese with big glasses.  The staff loaded her in a wheel chair, and walked us down to the car.  Everyone was great...and I highly recommend this facility.  Very nice people make nerves truly go away!
