Dr. Wang was great with my son. Made him feel comfortable when he was nervous and answered my questions. However, our appt was at 1:20pm and we were not seen until 2:54 and were only in there for three minutes.

I didn't care for the provider asking me why I was seeing a specialist like him instead of seeing a general ophthalmologist. I was referred to him from the previous specialist.

Dr. Wang listened, was compassionate, he explained in detail, welcomed my questions even took time to use prisms to allow my spouse to experience my vision. I'm an RN, and shared this positive experience with so many colleagues. I will definitely be recommending him and The Wilmer Eye Institute.

He did not wash his hands or use sanitizer or clean the equipment he used. He did not use gloves when he was touching my face. He was using the computer & typing & touching my eyes at the same time. I was embarrassed to say anything. I practiced as a critical care nurse. I'm glad I now have the opportunity to express this concern. My other doctors & techs ALWAYS FOLLOWED UNIVERSAL PRECAUTION. I truly appreciate the care delivery I have always received .
