November 12, 2025
Dr Vu is the only physician thar I trust with my eye care
November 12, 2025
My appointment with Dr Vu was for dilation and a couple tests. Sign in was easy. Soon I was taken for the testing and dilation. Dr Vu then saw me. She gave the results of my exam and I made an appointment for four months. My visit with Dr Vu was as I expected. She is very thorough.
November 11, 2025
Dr Vu Spens time she volunteers information that other doctor done offer , i have my wife there my sister For patience . Thank you
November 10, 2025
I kind of felt like I was rushed. She didn't really sit and listen to what I was saying. She was just giving kind of her own answers and just rushed through, opened the door and kind of hustled me out. So, anyway, I kind of felt like I needed her to actually listen to what I was saying. And I don't think that was happening. Thank you. Bye.
November 10, 2025
Always prompt and kind
November 06, 2025
Dr. Vu is fantastic and thorough. I feel very comfortable with her care. Her staff was supportive and professional. The wait time in the office was almost on time. Unfortunately, the time between making an appointment and seeing the doctor was unacceptable. I made the appointment in May and she wasn't available until November. Over 6 months is inappropriate and unreasonable. I even called numerous times to try to check for cancellations to no avail. This appears to be a more prevalent problem with PIH in recent years. This is not only an issue with specialists referrals but with primary doctors as well. The quality of the physicians is fantastic and there is not complaint there. For the first time, as a patient, I feel as if I'm just a number within the administration and no personal concern about prioritizing my or my families health.
November 05, 2025
Great doctors and staff. Courteous and very professional.
November 04, 2025
Great office. (Name removed) got me checked in and started, and was friendly and polite and knowledgeable . Dr. Vu was awesome. I hadn't met her as Dr, (name removed)a had been my doctor. I'm switching over (love Dr. (name removed) as he is cutting down on office hours. Dr. Vu was thorough and wonderful. This is a great office and staff.
November 03, 2025
I am very glad to have Dr. Vu as my eye doctor. She is an excellent eye surgeon and caring doctor.
October 29, 2025
I really respect Dr. Vu's kind and caring way she treats me along with her expertise!! I also think the office staff in La Mirada Eye Care provide excellent customer service!!
October 29, 2025
For other appointments , it takes too long to get appointment ..
October 27, 2025
Dr. Vu is the nicest person I've ever met, and the staff is really nice. And I think they changed my appointment, and I kind of wanted it like the way it was, but Dr. Vu is the best. So hopefully she knows that, and hopefully, all the staff knows that they're great over there. Okay, thank you.
October 23, 2025
Wait time in reception area was not as bad as last time much better than my last appt. Dr. Vu wanted to see me in 4 months but she is going to be out office. Earliest I could get is late April (6months). I was told if any problem to call & they would have me see another doctor.
October 21, 2025
I have no complain they where very nice
October 21, 2025
Dr Vu always provides great care and explains everything in terms that are easy to understand.
October 20, 2025
Dr. Vu is very, very kind and she takes the time to explain everything to you. All the tests I took, she showed them to me so I could know exactly what she was talking about and she spoke to me. She dumbed it down so I can understand everything. In other words, she didn't, you know, try to go over my head with a bunch of jargon. She was very, very, very nice and very complete in her examination and I appreciate it. All the ladies and gentlemen that work at this office in La Harbor are extremely, are extremely kind, extremely knowledgeable, and they are very friendly and they pay attention to the patients. And I really like this office so ?
October 20, 2025
1st time meeting Dr Vu she was very kind , good listener, patience.Very carefully explaining my condition regarding my eyes. Told me she worked from another office closer to where I lived. So my next visit will definite be a shorter drive for me. Thank you?

Dr. Vu is a true professional, patient and knowledgeable and always greets you with a smile.
October 15, 2025
This was my first visit with Dr Vu. I had to choose another Dr due to Dr (name removed) cutting back hours.

September 18, 2025
Dr. Vu was prompt and efficient! I had three other tests before seeing Dr. Vu. See had a good analysis of my eye! When I saw her, she was pleasant and worried that my eye had gotten so bad after I was sent to a retina specialist! I told her, I was told my eye was still OK, and didn't have to be seen for another year! She was alarmed! She immediately told me what she could do! She could do a surgery to help my glycoma and a new retina doctor!

This visit marked my initial experience at this office. Upon my arrival, I was met with sincere courtesy from the reception lady. Dr. Qui Vu possesses commendable interpersonal skills.

It was evident that my inquiries were received with openness, and I found her responses to be quite satisfactory.

August 12, 2025
We had a 15 minute wait to be called for the initial vision check and dilation. We waited another 30 minutes to be seen by Dr. Vu. This is the first time we have had to wait for more than 15 minutes. We loved the free parking. We loved handicap access bathrooms in the building.
August 11, 2025

(Name removed) and Dr Vu were awesome. They explained everything in detail and were more than happy to answer any questions I had. The care they showed was great. I'm glad I found them and I will be switching all of my family's eye care needs to them.
July 21, 2025
The entire visit went smoothly and everyone was helpful and considerate. Dr. Vu was extremely attentive and kept me advised of everything that she was going to do and freely answered my question and gave me in depth feedback for questions. I'll be seeing her in a year for a check up.
July 16, 2025
She was great, friendly, professional and thoroughly checked out all eye issues. Then scheduled a return visit in 3 weeks due to a couple of things she wanted to look into further. This was my 1s visit with her and I was impressed.
July 16, 2025

July 09, 2025
Great experience
July 07, 2025
I wish the provider could slow down when she explained to me. I felt the appointment was a bit too rush.
July 07, 2025
Yes, I just had to wait an extra hour, it seems, because I made a mistake in my appointment time. I came at two when my appointment was three, and we had to wait all that extra hour before they saw us. Otherwise, everything was fairly good.

June 06, 2025
The doctor is a great professional and very kind.

June 06, 2025
I just love my doctor. She's very patient. She explains everything in detail so that I can understand and she never rushes me.
June 06, 2025
My visit with Dr. Vu was wonderful. However, I was there for TWO HOURS which I think is excessive. My husband was even very worried because I was gone for so long...
June 03, 2025
The doctor was nice, but she went way too fast. I felt very rushed like she had to get me in and out to get to the next patient.
June 03, 2025
The doctor was very informative with the information that she gave me. After my appointment I had to make an appointment with the eye doctor for glasses. That appointment is not until the end of July. I will be looking elsewhere for my glasses. That part of the system sucks. The area was empty over there and should have someone there to take a person that needs to be seen for new updated glasses.
June 02, 2025
This was my first appointment with Dr. Vu. She is lovely, knowledgable and interested in how I was doing. I really look forward to being her patient.
June 02, 2025
I was happy to get in on the same day that I called.

When you are dealing with problems with your eyes, the stress can be overwhelming. But everyone in this office takes the time to explain things and put the patient at ease. I greatly appreciate the professionalism and the caring nature of the doctor and her staff.

May 14, 2025
Both Doctor and Staff were very professional
May 12, 2025
Dr. Vu is very personable and explains my vision issues to me in a manner that is understandable. Since my type 2 diabetes diagnosis in 2018 Dr. Vu has examined my vision for any damage. Fortunately my annual vision examination shows no damage related to my type 2 diabetes. Office staff are friendly and professional.
May 06, 2025
It is always a pleasure to see Dr.Vu! She provides the best care for my eyes. The staff is always friendly and professional..
May 05, 2025
Thank you for everything
May 05, 2025
Office staff and technicians were patient and helpful. Dr. Vu listened carefully to any questions I had. I highly recommend this office.
May 02, 2025
Well, I'm very concerned because the doctor was talking about me having glaucoma in my right eye when I have glaucoma in my left. He mentioned that I had basic surgery. I have not ever had basic surgery. And when I made my appointment in October, they said my eyes were going to be dilated and they were not dilated. And then the doctor did explain to me that it's only once a year. So I wasn't really happy once I left the office because I was given inaccurate information and I don't even know if my file is correct on all the information in regards to my left eye glaucoma. Thank you.
April 30, 2025
The doctor speaks WAY too fast.
April 30, 2025
I had been seeing Dr (name removed) but I was unable to get an appt with him since I was told he only comes in one day a week and probably retiring. So, I figured it was time to find another Ophthalmologist. Dr. Vu was ok but had a little attitude which I didn't expect from a dr. With the little conversation I had with her, she noted I didn't need to c her since I'm seeing Dr. (name removed) next month. I said I always c the Ophthalmologist for eye diseases and then the optician for new a new eyeglass prescription. She said "it's not necessary to c her; Dr (name removed) would refer me to her if there was a need. I only got her before him cause there was a cancellation....she's 4-5 mos. out" - what was that supposed to mean? I've always seen both - guess it was too much of a bother for her to c me or was she bragging that patients can't get to c her immediately cause she's special. I just won't go back to her next year. There is no need to call me. Nothing more to say!
April 23, 2025
Dr. Vu is simply an excellent physician. Respectful, attentive and well-versed in her specialty.
April 09, 2025
I am very happy with Dr. Vu
April 04, 2025
I just want to say that I'm very well satisfied with Dr. Vu. Thank you.
April 02, 2025
Dr. Vu is one of the most conscientious doctors I have ever been to. She is wonderful, warm. She has a fountain of knowledge. She takes her time. She makes recommendations. She types them out for you. She's just a wonderful doctor and she is an asset to PIH. Thank you.
March 31, 2025
Everyone was very patient & courteous
March 28, 2025
Everyone very friendly
March 25, 2025
Professional & efficient!
March 25, 2025
Very good, everything went well.
March 24, 2025
Excellent experience, excellent staff, excellent physician
March 24, 2025
Very good First Time Visit with Dr. Vu.
March 24, 2025
I was relieved on how short the wait was to be seen. Staff was very polite and welcoming.
March 21, 2025
Care is efficient and prompt. I wouldn't go anywhere else especially after having a less than satisfactory experience at another facility years ago.
March 19, 2025
Visit went well
March 19, 2025
Other than my apt was months out, everything about my visit was very pleasant! The provider didn't spend much time with me but all was covered and there was nothing new to go over, so it wasn't a negative.
March 17, 2025
Yeah, I got tests and before I went to see the doctor and she explained everything for me and checked my eyes and so it was good. She was a good doctor. I feel very comfortable with her. Thank you. Bye.
March 17, 2025
I was very satisfied, Dr Qui Vu is very knowledgeable and explained everything very well.
March 17, 2025
I felt comfortable and relaxed
March 17, 2025
Dr. Vu was AMAZING! Took the time to go over my entire needs. Very thoughtful and professional.
March 17, 2025
Dr. Vu told me about her other office in La Mirada which is much closer to my home along with Retina specialist in same location. I was provided with appointments for both in La Mirada. Very pleased with the new location.
March 14, 2025
The provider was very thorough. She's very professional. A very big problem, however, is getting an appointment. Having to wait so many weeks to see an optometrist or ophthalmologist makes you want to leave the plans. So, hopefully, appointments are in a timely manner, not having to wait three, four months. Thank you.
March 14, 2025
Really kind, caring, and considerate staff and team, from the moment I entered the office until I left. The medical assistant that worked with me (so sorry I don't remember her name) was very kind, easy to talk to, and skilled in explaining through everything in a calm, soft tone. Dr.Vu was amazing as well from start to finish. Super informed on everything and gave me a breakdown that was easy to understand. She answered all my questions before I even had a chance to ask them, and I appreciated how comforting she was throughout my examination. I look forward to seeing her again during my follow-up!
March 12, 2025
Just takes o long to get appointment ...
March 11, 2025
All professional staff,
March 05, 2025
Great staff
March 05, 2025
It was a very good experience with Dr. Vu and staff. Front desk staff were great as well.
March 05, 2025
Everything went Very Well and in a Timely Manner.
March 04, 2025
Hi, Dr. Vu helped out every way she can. She fixed my eye and I love her for it. Thank you.
March 03, 2025
Didn't say she was the doctor or say her name.
March 03, 2025
Dr. Vu and staff are awesome!
March 03, 2025
She seemed rushed and uninterested in my concerns.
February 26, 2025
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Vu, and definitely will recommend to my friends and my family and I'm coming back. Thank you. Bye.
February 26, 2025
Good listener, careful and thorough explainer
February 24, 2025
I am blessed thank you Dr. Vu and staff,
February 24, 2025
I waited far too long to see this doctor. I will see her again for the follow up but will change doctors if I have to wait more than an hour.
February 24, 2025
the wait time was 1 hour after my appt time
February 24, 2025
Great Doctor
February 14, 2025
It is frustrating as a patient to not get appointments sooner. Appointments are made few months in advance and if for any reason, you are unable to keep that appointment and need to reschedule, then a new one is pushed a few months out. I cannot imagine how busy the doctors at PIH are that there is no sooner appointments.
February 12, 2025
All of them are very nice and kind.
February 12, 2025
I arrived early for my appointment and was helped about 10 minutes before my appointed time
February 12, 2025
Dr Vu is an excellent ophthalmologist. Her Technician (name removed) provides excellent service
February 10, 2025
Dr. Vu is always very respectful and listens to a patients concerns. She follows my spouse as well and always asks about his well being if we are not seen on the same day.
February 07, 2025
Over crowded took a long time to get an appointment Dr did not explain what was the reason for the problem in my left eye she refered me to other Dr and he can't see me until March
February 07, 2025
The telephone and computer difficulties caused an unusual delay.
February 07, 2025
Am so happy that ,Doctor Vu is my eye specialist ! I was going with other well known specialist in Downey for years , than I changed my insurance , am so grateful the he DIDN'T except my new insurance and now am seeing Doctor Vu !!! He had me on eye medication that was very costly and I didn't need ! Thank you Doctor Vu
February 03, 2025
Dr Vu explained well what I needed to know.
January 28, 2025
Yes, it was my first visit at Dr. Vu's office, so there's not much information I can give, but my first visit was very good. Thank you.
January 28, 2025
