Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. James Tsai is an outstanding doctor
I was diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and Pseudoexfoliation syndrome in both eyes, currently at a moderate stage. It’s proven to be a fairly stubborn case. Since March 2023, I have been under the care of Dr. Tsai (Ophthalmology, Mount Sinai), who initially performed an SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) procedure on my left eye. While the SLT was successful, it wasn’t quite enough to control my condition fully. We tried various eye drops afterward but couldn’t achieve the desired results.A month ago, Dr. Tsai performed a Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C on my left eye. So far, the results have been promising, and I no longer need to use eye drops in that eye.Dr. Tsai is an outstanding doctor—highly skilled, professional, and remarkably approachable. He takes the time to explain procedures thoroughly and answers all my questions with patience. I highly recommend him to anyone facing similar challenges.
