Patient Reviews

July 28, 2026
I was referred to this office by PIH Urgent Care in Hacienda Heights, and I'm very grateful they were able to fit me in and see me right away. Lisa was thorough and took the time to explain everything during my eye examination. She clearly explained what she was seeing, answered my questions, and provided helpful guidance on what to watch for and how to care for my eyes going forward. In the end, I was diagnosed with posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). Although it was a stressful situation, Lisa's professionalism, knowledge, and compassionate care made the experience much more reassuring. I truly appreciate the prompt attention and excellent care I received.
July 24, 2026

July 23, 2026
The waiting is too long.
July 23, 2026
I waited for 90 minutes for a 10 minutes with the doctor. My appointment was at 3:00, I saw the doctor at 4:30. Office staff did not check in to share about any delays or how long the wait would be. Horrible service.
July 23, 2026

July 07, 2026
I would like to commend Dr. Yang for her swift attention to my eye condition. She quickly went into action to take care of me and performed a laser procedure.( this was unplanned ) She is a caring, smart and hardworking doctor. Who didn't miss a beat. I am truly blessed to have gotten her as my provider. She saved my eye! PIH is lucky to have her on staff in the Opthalmology department

Great Doctor and staff!
June 10, 2026
I was able to be seen the same day later in the afternoon. However, I was at the facility for about two hours. I felt that I was there probably a lot longer than I should have been. Although I was very happy with the actual doctor and the staff.

June 02, 2026
My visit on (information removed) I came and sign in but office staff was too busy laughing and chatting waited till 3 pm and still not called up. I walked up to the desk and told the staff it's ridiculous that I have not been called up and other people came after me get serviced so I told them to reschedule to Tue 06/02. If I miss an appointment it will cost me $25.
May 28, 2026
professional
May 27, 2026
I was seen by the assistant technician to do the pre-visit tests very quickly when I arrived for my 3 o'clock appointment. But I did not ultimately get to see the doctor until after, well after 4 o'clock, closer to 4:30. And that's just too long. My eyes were dilated, I was uncomfortable, it was bright, and I don't understand the pacing of the appointment. I love Dr. Yang, but I think that was a little bit ridiculous.
May 27, 2026
Dr Yang listen to all my concerns and answer all my questions
May 26, 2026
It over an hour wait this time but sometimes emergencies happen.
May 26, 2026
I have found my NEW ophthalmologist Dr. YANG!!, who like Dr. (name removed) is great. She was calm, friendly and informative.
May 22, 2026
Dr. Yang performed cataract surgery for both eyes. She is meticulous and very knowledgeable. I trust my eye care with Dr. Yang. She takes time to explain what she is doing and is always available to answer my questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing eye care.
May 22, 2026
Dr Yang was better this visit about being on time I didn't wait in the waiting room as long as I have in pass visit

May 07, 2026
Dr. Lisa Yang was absolutely amazing as always. I had an emergency situation with my eye when I woke up on the 7th. I called and those people got me in an hour and a half later at the office. I had to wait an hour because she was so busy, but it was worth the wait because she always gives the time that is needed to each patient. I know she treats everybody else the way she treats me. and she spends time, she's very thorough, she explains everything and I could not ask for a better eye doctor. I am very, very happy with Dr. Lisa Yang. She should be commended. Thank you very much. My name is (PHI removed) and you may use it.
May 07, 2026
Very good experience. All the staff are pleasant and very helpful. The wait for an appointment is pretty lengthy, but that's true of all good doctors. Once they get to you, it's terrific. Dr Yang is kind, caring and very attentive to details.
May 05, 2026
Dr Yang is so knowledgeable, so caring and helpful, supportive. She's the best!!
May 05, 2026
Dr. Yang was very easy to speak with and her staff was very helpful and friendly.
April 24, 2026
Everything was nice - did have to wait over 2 hours for my scheduled appt. The staff both back and front were very helpful.
April 24, 2026
They were over booked on appointments and the wait time was 2 hours. They need an office manager who knows how to schedule.
April 23, 2026
Dr Lisa Yang take care my Cataract and Glycoma well done and (name removed) arrange Surgy smoothly, all of employees so nice treaty.
April 22, 2026
I could not be more satisfied with my new vision after Cataract surgery. Before, during and now after surgery, I am currently seeing her for my follow up appointments and everything is excellent.
April 17, 2026
The wait time was a bit long and due to my moms dementia it was challenging
April 17, 2026
It took too long to see the latest.
April 17, 2026
Dr. Yang is a good listener and cares about what I have to say.
April 16, 2026
The assistant who did the preliminary preparation for my eye exam was tremendously kind and courteous and just super. And the doctor also, she's wonderful. I have tremendous faith and respect for her. But the office staff that greets you when you come in, they're kind of indifferent. They're not, you know, I don't know how to explain it, but it's like the same kind of thing that I've experienced since I became quite elderly. It's something that I think they need to be reminded that the elderly, we were taught to respect people and to be kind to them, and most of us, I think, are.
April 15, 2026
Yes, we stayed two hours before we left. Two hours there.
April 15, 2026
Dr. Yang is a very thorough professional ophthalmologist. The only reason I answered, "Yes somewhat" to the question of whether I was seen in a timely manner is that we waited over 1 1/2 hours in the lobby to see the doctor. However, when we did see her, she spent a lot of time going over my chart in detail talking about everything in it from the last visit to the one yesterday. This is extraordinary. Most doctors are extremely busy, and Dr. Yang is no exception. However, I truly appreciate that she spent the time to go over every detail of yesterday's exam, comparing it with what was seen at my last visit. What really stood out was that she was so encouraging about the condition of my eyes, considering some of my other health issues. Both my wife and I would definitely recommend Dr. Yang to anyone seeking the services of a consummate professional ophthalmologist like she is.
April 14, 2026
Great Dr , she explained every question that I asked.
April 10, 2026
They had scheduled the doctor too tightly. There was only 15 minutes between 1 and 1:15 and she was running an hour late. So I think they schedule a little bit different.
April 02, 2026
The second and third questions, sorry, I made a mistake, are for number three, so mark number three. I marked one for the first question because it did take a little while to get my appointment, but otherwise everything was excellent. That doctor, Lisa Yang, is the best eye doctor I've ever met. She's wonderful, keeps excellent patient records, and treats you with kindness, as does the staff who greet you. Thank you so much and congratulations.
March 31, 2026

March 11, 2026
I can understand if the doctor didn't see me on time . It was a busy time and I know for a fact that no doctors , I mean no doctors saw their patients on time , that is to my knowledge.
March 10, 2026
Excellent doctor and staff. Thank you!!
March 06, 2026
It was pretty quick and everything was great
March 05, 2026
The hard part was it took me about four to five months to get the original appointment with Dr. Yang just because it's so impacted. That's unacceptable.
March 05, 2026
Dr.Lisa Yang provided me enough explanation. I trust her her professionalism.
March 03, 2026
Dr. Li was very attentive and respectful. He heard my needs and provided the appropriate medication. He went beyond to schedule our wellness appointment. Very good visit.
March 03, 2026
She;s a very Good, smart Dr, and a very nice personality. I've been with her since she replace Dr. (PHI removed)
February 20, 2026
I waited an excessive amount of time to see Dr. Yang. Completely unacceptable.
February 20, 2026
From the moment I arrived at the clinic, the staff was very kind and courteous, right up until the end of my appointment with the professional who treated me. Thank you very much for the service.
February 19, 2026
Dr. Yang and staff were friendly and kind. I like her very much as a physician. My appointment was at 3:30 and I didn't get into see Dr. Yang until almost 5:00pm. This is the third time that this has happened at her office. I don't feel that is acceptable. My time is as important as hers. I am honored to use PIH Healthcare but they need better time management in their office. Thank you
February 19, 2026
I always enjoyed my visit with Dr Lisa Yang , she is so professional and explain everything to me carefully.
February 19, 2026
Everything was excellent.
February 17, 2026
Each time I've been to that office, I have waited an hour and a half or more to be seen. Because of that, I love the doctor, but not worth the wait, and because of that, I would never recommend this facility to anyone.
February 17, 2026
The service from doctor is great. It's the waiting time. I spent more than an hour, close to two hours waiting. That's the only complaint I have. Thank you.
February 17, 2026
The provider is very good in explaining your symptoms.
February 17, 2026
She explains things thoroughly, but, the wait was extensive long.
February 11, 2026
Appointment for Dr's office was full. Had to wait several months to be seen for my first examination. Dr. Yang is very thorough and took time to explain and check everything. Overall I am very satisfied!
February 06, 2026
Dr Yang is thorough and cares for my health.
February 05, 2026
The doctor who had been my doctor of record is retiring, hence the difficulty in making an appointment. This was the first time I was seen by this new doctor and she was excellent.
February 04, 2026
I think when you have an appointment, the wait time is somehow long because there's many people there. So I think the wait time, if it was shorter, it would be better if you can do that. But I probably think you can't. So that's it.
February 04, 2026
Dr Yang is an excellent doctor, the staff are very nice and respectful, thank you ?
February 03, 2026
She covered very well more than I expected. I had problem getting an appointment with her last 2,3 years. Waiting for the appointment was also long this time. I am glad that I waited for Dr Yang this year (since last year).
January 27, 2026
She was very professional and schedule a follow up appointment for me with a specialist. I had been under her care for a number of years, hope she continues taking care of me in the future.

December 17, 2025
Excellent Customer service and Excellent physician care!
December 16, 2025
Office personnel and Dr were professional and courteous. My only concern is when my insurance is billed, they don't inform the insurance companies (I have dual coverage) of the secondary insurance.
December 16, 2025
Always a long wait past scheduled appointment time to finally see the doctor.
December 11, 2025

November 21, 2025
Dr. Yang is extremely thorough and very clear when explaining her findings. She is very personable and easy to talk to about your concerns. Because she is so good at what she does, she is booked solid for months at a time and very difficult to secure an appointment with.
November 21, 2025
Dr Yang is an amazing doctor I could see much much better. So grateful to her
November 21, 2025
I'm happy with Dr Yang. Dr (name removed) is retiring and he told me I'll be in good hands with Dr Yang.
November 19, 2025
The staff were friendly and professional. Doctor Yang, my eye doctor is excellent in caring for my eyes., Though it was just a routine check up she spent as much time explaining to me my about my eyes. I've been under her care since 2024 and I'm very happy.
November 18, 2025
Love Doctor Yang!! She is thorough, takes her time! And just plain wonderful!!
November 18, 2025

November 14, 2025

November 13, 2025
Yes, I've had excellent care from that doctor. I've been seeing her for many years, and she's wonderful. She's a wonderful person, and so is all the staff. Thank you.
November 12, 2025
I feel that PIH over schedules appointments. There were so many patients in the waiting room with only one doctor caring for all of them. Dr Yang is a great doctor!! Very knowledgeable, thorough, kind. She makes sure she goes through all your tests and you understand your results and answers any questions you have??
November 11, 2025
Had to wait an extra hour or so to be called in with the doctor. But she is exceptionally thorough, professional and kind. She explains everything and listens attentively. I've been her patient for quite a few years and I trust her with my eye care.
November 11, 2025
I always love my visits with Dr. Yang, her whole staff were excellent, I look forward to my next visit next year. I am a Happy patient
November 06, 2025
She was an excellent doctor and she made up for Dr. (name removed), which I had a horrible experience with Dr. (name removed). I would never recommend anybody to Dr. (name removed), but she made it so good. And I much appreciate her professionalism, her caring, her understanding, and her knowledge.
November 06, 2025
Very professional personnel
November 05, 2025
Adding another doctor to this office has really improved patient care. I was done in an hour this time whereas it used to take 2 or more hours for an appointment and the waiting room was always full. My experience was much better than any of my previous appointments (I go every 6 months).
November 04, 2025
Dr Yang is an excellent opthalmologist. She is thorough and thoughtful in interacting with her patients. I highly recommend her services.
October 30, 2025
Very efficient and immediate service with almost no wait time.
October 29, 2025
Very professional and personal service
October 28, 2025
I had an 8:45 a.m. appointment. They asked to get there 15 minutes early. So I got there at 8:30 a.m. and I was called in probably 90 minutes later. Yeah, maybe it was around 10:15. By the time I left there, I had missed another appointment that I had somewhere else. I didn't get out of there until 11 o'clock. That was too long of a wait.
October 14, 2025
Dr Yang and her staff are awesome, friendly and respectful.
October 14, 2025
Dr. yang listens to me and explains things very clearly to me.
October 09, 2025
I was treated very professionally and everyone was polite & friendly. TU~~
October 08, 2025
Very pleased excellent service
October 08, 2025
My previous ophthalmologist, Dr.(name removed), is in the process of retiring, so I chose one of his colleagues, Dr. Yang, to be my ophthalmologist. She was very professional and thorough. Since I had only seen her once, about three years ago, she read my chart very thoroughly and made a complete examination of my eyes. She explained everything, and she added a treatment that she said might improve my vision some. For that I am very grateful. She is an excellent doctor, and I will be privileged to return to her in six months.
October 07, 2025
Dr. Yang is excellent!
October 03, 2025
Well, I'd like to start off with what you've done well. You have Dr. Yang, and she's in two offices. And she is phenomenal. She does take her time, which kind of throws off the schedule. Now for what you could have done better. Why have an appointment set up? I was supposed to be seen first by her. The gentleman that was coming in right after me signed in before me, yet, and that was before my appointment was started, the gentleman before me who had a later appointment was seen first by the doctor. And so I got seen a lot later than my appointment. Why have an appointment, why have a schedule to begin with if your office staff is not willing to follow it? This was really, really unprofessional.
October 03, 2025
Thank you, Dr. Lisa Yang you made me feel very comfortable and you explain everything so well thank you so much. See you in a couple of months.
October 03, 2025
I don't give a 10 as a score just for incentive purposes. Hahaha...
October 02, 2025
Dr is always extremely courteous professional and explains everything very well. She is also a great listener and always asks if we have any questions.
October 01, 2025
I was made to feel comfortable throughout my whole visit
September 26, 2025
Dr. Yang was very thorough with the examination. She is knowledgeable and professional. She answered my questions and explained the procedure that I'll be having. Dr. Yang came highly recommended to me by a friend who had her cataract surgery done.
September 26, 2025
Dr. Wouldn't listen and try to understand what i was trying to ask her. She kept saying"I don't do that" for any type of procedure I asked about then said "no guarantee " when I was asking about anything regarding outcome of my vision. Said she wouldn't be comfortable doing my surgery and maybe I should look for a 2nd opinion. I waited over a month for appt and 1.5 hrs in the waiting room, and paid $55 to be treated like this?? Who do I get to do my surgery? I went home and cried.
September 26, 2025
Dr. Lisa Yang is the best Opthamologist I have ever been treated by. She takes her time and explains everything that she is doing and makes sure that I am comfortable with each test she performs. I appreciate her treatment style, as it helps keep the nervousness and anxiety to a minimum.
September 26, 2025
Dr Lisa Yang was very thorough and professional. It was my first time at this office and she made me feel very welcomed as well as the staff. I look forward to returning in 6 months.
September 25, 2025
Dr, Lisa Yang is a wonderful and nice physician. The office staffs are all very good and friendly.
September 23, 2025
Ive been there several times and while the staff is great, the wait time is always well over an hour.
September 18, 2025
Not much difference since I have been under Dr. Yang's care. I like that Dr. Yang makes sure that I understand the situation. She encourages you to ask questions and/or share any concerns I may have.
September 16, 2025
Excellent, courteous, and respectful. From everyone. Excellent doctor with a lot of experience.
September 16, 2025
Lisa Yang is a great doctor and spends as much time needed to check/explain everything. Wait time to see her was over an hour but the wait was worth it.
September 12, 2025
I hope you got my originak response. It disappeared. Dr. Yang is great!
September 09, 2025
The wait time was bad. What should have been a hour visit turned into two hours. The doctor is great and I would recommend her to everyone but the wait time is horrible.

Dr. Yang is very thorough, explaining each step of the exam and her findings clearly.
August 19, 2025
I've had Dr. Yang as my ophthalmologist for many, many years, and I've always come back to her. She is wonderful. She takes her time with her patients. She's very attentive, and she's in high demand, I can tell, because sometimes it's hard to get an appointment with her. Sometimes we have to wait a long time to see her, but it's worth it. She is wonderful.
August 19, 2025
Dr Yang is a great doctor. Always so professional, but always explains everything to you. She will ask me the patient do you have any questions? On time, good recommendations for eye care. Thank you for taking the time to help me to keep good eye health
