Dr. David Hwang, MD

Dr Hwang did my corneal transplants in 2021. I inherited Fuchs’ Dystrophy and was rapidly going blind. My vision is now 20/20 & 20/25! He’s compassionate, caring, takes his time with each patient, even if running late. I drive three hours each way to see him, it’s worth every mile! He’s the best!

I had routine cataract surgery on my right eye with Dr. David Hwang at UCSF. Before the surgery I said that my goal was to be able to read street signs and read subtitles on television foreign films without glasses. Following surgery on my right eye television subtitles are out of focus, and most street signs I can not read. I cancelled the surgery on my left eye.

Getting Lasik done from Dr. Hwang has been a life-changing experience for me. I have extreme myopia (-10) plus astigmatism and now that I'm 50, I also need reading glasses. I went for a LASIK evaluation and Dr. Hwang said I was a good candidate for LASIK but that he might not be able to get me to 20/20 and that I might still need to wear a -1 or -2 glasses. Fast forward to post LASIK and I'm 20/20! He did some custom adjustments for me well within safety bounds and got me to 20/20. Talk about underpromising and overdelivering! I've been wearing glasses since 3rd grade and contact lenses for over 30 years. Now I can drive, hike, work out without glasses or contact lenses. No more waking up to a blurry world! Dr. Hwang has amazing bedside manners. He's kind, courteous, patient. Even answered my questions over email. His scheduler, Don Eubank, is super thoughtful and communicative. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.
