Dr Yeh has been our family's ophthalmologist for years, he is very thorough and focused on the data. His staff are friendly and professional. They continue to be very careful about disinfecting all the surfaces. Masks are recommended. Plenty of parking. Tip: try to get the first appointment of the day if possible, later appointments may get delayed from time to time.

I was warned that it may take two hours for the 1st visit. To my surprise it took 3 hours (including filling out the forms and wait time), but no complaints as I sometimes wait an hour just for popular restaurants, and this is much much more important! Dr. Yeh did a thorough exam to my eyes and explained in detail, which is just what I needed. I can understand why it took so long and appreciate Dr. Yeh's patience. I rather to have an accurate exam for my eyes than a rush job. My only concern is for how many years can I be under Dr. Yeh's care before he retires!

My name is Kemp Massengill, MD, and my medical background is that of a practicing Eye Surgeon for 25 years specializing only in cataract and lens implant surgery. As a senior citizen, I developed cataracts myself and needed to select an Eye Surgeon for my own visual rehabilitation requirements. Having practiced cataract and lens implant surgery for decades in Southern California, I personally know many qualified Eye Surgeons who would operate on my eyes and do a nice job. What I was looking for, however, was not only an Eye Surgeon with outstanding surgical talent - but also an Eye Surgeon who treats patients with genuine caring and respect, as I did for my own cataract and lens implant surgery patients. I found this Eye Surgeon - Patrick Yeh, MD. Doctor Yeh was referred by my wife's Family Doctor at UCLA Health, even though Doctor Yeh was in the Torrance (Cedars Sinai) group, rather than UCLA. Patrick Yeh, MD, is the most conscientious Eye Surgeon I have personally met, and now I have had both cataracts removed - AND I AM DELIGHTED! Doctor Yeh's practice is NOT a Medicare-cataract surgery mill - with such doctors churning through 80-100 patients a day. In my opinion, it is impossible to be truly thorough in these high-volume situations. Doctor Yeh's practice is medium-sized, and it is obvious that he likes it that way - as then he can thoroughly examine each patient, using not only his excellent medical/surgical skills, but using the very latest in ocular test equipment. I believe that in my own cataract and lens implant surgical practice that I was the most thorough surgeon I know (please don't take this as arrogance: patients told me this over and over) - but Doctor Yeh is even more thorough even than I was. This is very impressive to me, and I cannot overstate how very fortunate I am that I chose Doctor Yeh. Also, there is no such thing as cataract and lens implant surgery being a 'simple' procedure. This is marketing 'hype' to lure patients in the door. This is NOT a 'simple' procedure, and serious complications can occur, although it is not lengthy surgery, such as a heart transplant would be. Also again, many patients have co-existing retinal problems, such as macular degeneration, retinal wrinkling, macular edema, branch vein or branch artery occlusions, and other problems, such as glaucoma, which limit the final vision, even with perfectly executed small-incision cataract and lens implant surgery. Patients are sometimes in denial regarding what are called co-morbidities. And retinal problems are difficult to diagnose in advance of cataract surgery - because the view of the retina (the back of the eye) is obscured by the cloudiness of the cataract in front of the retina. It is like looking through a foggy windshield and trying to clearly read distant signs. In fact, denial is a normal human trait. For instance: Why would someone who has had a coronary bypass procedure and a bad heart frequently eat a double cheeseburger with extra bacon and extra cheese? Or 3 doughnuts? The reason can only be denial of the damage from this diet (tasty as it is!). Again, it is a normal human trait to be in denial of risk. And it has been demonstrated over and over - such as in very compelling videotaped risk discussions of patients undergoing very serious, life-threatening, heart surgery - that after the surgery, many patients will be adamant that the risks were never discussed. When shown the videotape of such discussions of risks, they are truly amazed, as they had complete amnesia for ANY discussion of risks. I myself have a little wrinkling of my left retina, and this affects my vision a little bit - again, because of my retinal pathology. The cataract surgery did not cause this! In summary, the cataracts are gone, and the surgery performed by Doctor Yeh was absolutely pristine! Doctor Patrick Yeh truly knows what he is doing, and is a very caring and deeply concerned human being (in a world where caring is all too often a missing ingredient). And if I you wish to discuss any o

I had several appointments with Dr. Yeh. Scheduled cataract surgery on 4/29 after 6 months' wait. I had two previous victrectomies for retinal tear and macular pucker by Dr. Julie Gasperini. Dr. Yeh said my cataract surgery would be high risk and didn't know if laser would work. He said he would have to call the laser manufacturer. My eyesight was 20/2000. I said no I didn't want to be his guinea pig. I went to Dr. Amarpreet Brar, NVision, who does 2-3 laser cataract surgeries on victrectomized eyes every week. Now I see 20/20 in bad eye that had two terrible victrectomies and was 20/2000. Thank you Dr. Brar!!!!!!!!

I made an appointment with Dr. Yeh in October 2023. Couldn't get in until April 2024. I had a previous vitrectomy for a small retinal tear. Dr. Yeh said cataract surgery which always follows vitrectomy would be high risk and that he would have to contact the laser manufacturer to see if laser would work after a prior vitrectomy. Although Dr. Yeh seems competent, I decided to go with Dr. Armarpreet Brar because he said he does laser on 2-3 eyes per week that have had prior vitrectomies with no complications. Now seeing 20/20 after surgery with Dr. Brar.

Dr Patrick Yeh is the absolute best of the best eye doctors!I am a long standing patient that required Cataract Surgery on both eyes after retina and macula detachment. My uncorrected vision at that time was a whopping 20- 1800. My glasses were bottle thick lens. I was told I would always require glasses even after surgery. And yes my Cataract surgery was more complex because of my prior retina surgery. The results after Cataract Surgery 20-25 uncorrected...NO GLASSES...Dr Yeh is very patient compassionate and his exams are very complete and never rushed. He responds very timely for prescription refills and his staff is very friendly too. His medical suite is very modern with the latest state of the art equiptment. And by the way parking is plentiful and location is easy to find..Five Stars Highly Recommend!
