    The initial Dr., the Fellow, was attentive and listened well. Was thorough in exam and explained well about his diagnosis. Explained treatment plan well and follow up necessary.

    Dr. Sun referred Dr. Han to me for a second opinion. There wasn't much discussion; she provided her opinion that my pressures were acceptable. No need for surgery at this time.

    I was handed written Epic instructions. No explanation - no going over anything. I did not speak to the doctor.

    The physicians were knowledgeable as expected but the ultrasound technician / clinic manager was outstanding: made an accommodation to get me in. Explanation and performance of UBM study went smoothly. Excellent.

    Dr. Han is wonderful. She truly cares about her patients. I imagine her shifts are very long and she is always pleasant and engaged when I see her. We had a very good visit and conversation, and I really appreciated her recommendations for my care and treatment going forward. This is a really scary eye condition that I have, and Dr. Han helps me navigate it w/confidence, courage, optimism and grace.

    Dr. Han explained in detail my options for cataract surgery. She even called a couple of times and was so responsive to my concerns.
    May 31, 2024
    The entire experience was very positive
    May 13, 2024
    The visit 3ended with a medical decision which was discussed with another physician behind closed doors. I thought that such decisions should be open-ended and patient should be in on at least part of that. It would have been helpful to hear the second point of view also and the reasoning behind it that may have taken place. Overall I was pleased with the ultimate decision and it was explained to me with thoroughness.

    Totally impressed with the care I received!!!
    Jun 02, 2023
    Even when pressed for time, Dr.Han will always make sure to give you the answers you need, the care you came in for, and takes the time to look at the area that was or is needing attention. She is very efficient with her time while still trying to make sure I get everything I need out of the visit and makes sure that I am doing ok or ensures that I have the info, meds, and/or plan of action to get better.
    May 30, 2023
    Dr. Han is so energetic and knowledgeable, it feels like being in the presence of a "master." Except she's much friendlier than someone of her status usually is! She's amazing and obviously her team and students love her.
    May 29, 2023
    Dr Han is a very busy very talented ophthalmic surgeon
    May 27, 2023
    The wait time is not good. Once I saw my doctor I knew I was in competent hands but I felt sorry for my doctor's being so harried by the numbers of patients they had to see. Too many for one doctor.
    May 27, 2023
    I am so glad I requested Out of Network referral to Dr. Han.
    May 25, 2023
    Dr Han is incredible!!!
    May 17, 2023
    Not sure where the disconnect was, but I was expecting a little more prior knowledge of my appointment, based on all the communication ahead of time.
    May 09, 2023
    An amazingly knowledgeable, empathic professional. Dr. Han explained to our satisfaction my condition and the significance of possible approaches. I have never met a better prepared and more empathic physician than Dr. Han.
    May 06, 2023
    Dr Han is an exceptional physician in every way.
    May 02, 2023

    Dr. Han was great!
    Apr 01, 2023
    Dr Han is way too busy, to give everyone fair and equal care.
    Mar 25, 2023
    I think that Dr Han is likely a fantastic surgeon, but she Is so overbooked herself that she seems unable to really empathize with what patients are going through at the eye clinic. A lot of people working there basically shrug about how crazy it is and just say that that's the way it is. I'm betting that they get a LOT of complaints, down to the fact that they don't even give people the times of their surgeries until the last hour, which doesn't allow for people to schedule everything else in their lives when they have complicated home and family situations.
    Mar 10, 2023
    She was excellent in her attention to me.
    Feb 27, 2023
    After the medical department changed my appointment date, I still waited for a long time in the lobby on the day of the appointment. After being called to the doctor's office, I thought it would only take ten to fifteen minutes to wait. Unexpectedly, I waited for more than half an hour. After asking, the doctor came and had a bad attitude and poor service
    Feb 25, 2023
    Dr. Han was excellent and I so happy she us my provider!!!
    Feb 25, 2023
    Dr Han has always been overbooked but has as much time for me as I need. I feel like a partner in the decision making of my care.
