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.

I can only say that her attitude is arrogant and she has no sense of responsibility. It scares me. I don't trust her. She ruined my eyes. If I hadn't been strong, it would have almost ruined my life 100%. Last year, I found the best ophthalmologist in the United States to repair my eyes. I flew to New York and Los Angeles. This kind of pain can only be felt by those who have tried their best. Is it just for a lens of 7,000 dollars ? ? Even though my left eye should not use this kind of lens, even though my vision is very poor, even though I can't wear glasses and I feel dizzy, she did posterior capsule laser too. This makes it more difficult for me to change the lens. Thank God, I found a good doctor who really cares and can solve the problem now .1and half years now .i ve never forget how pain and scared that time .

Dr. Yoo has saved my eyesight
My dear Dr.Yoo I wish you a late Happy New Year. The cataract transplant in my right eye has been a blessing. I was very impressed by everyone involved in my surgery. BP U Health was the best. Dr.Yoo there's no doubts you're one of the best cornea specialist in the world. I cannot thank you enough for the surgery you conducted. Your assistant Dr.Wang is also fantastic. You're a down to earth person who makes the patient feel very comfortable besides the fact that you're a genius. You really are Dr.Yoo. I can't wait to get the second transplant on my left eye. Thank you so very much. You're the best.

Worst experience in my life
It was the worst experience in my life. When suggested me to have the surgery of intacs for queratoconos. I could not tolerate them. At the end, after 1 year of being suffering every minute in my life, I had to ask for intacs removal. She was not like a human. She was more like a computer. Dry like a toast. She never helped.

Dr. Yoo messed up my eye more. I had Cataract Surgery by another Dr. I was sent to Dr. Yoo and she did laser on my eye and now I see the light flashing everywhere , cant drive at night. She surely did a number on my eye. Please do not trust her.
