Dr. Yang is so professional. She is the first of my many DRS who I admired MOST, she is so thorough, so admirable in her demeanor and most kind. She explained what I needed to understand in a very thorough and understandable manner. She took the time to make me feel "confident, safe and secure" with what she recommended to provide for my eyecare. ALL DOCTORS should be like this. She treated me with her utmost respect and care, as if I am her only patient at the time. GOD BLESS YOU DR. YANG. I look forward to our next meeting.

August 23, 2024
Office wait time excessive. Checked in at about 10:05, left office at around12:30
August 22, 2024
I had gone to another office and was not impressed by the Dr., so I rescheduled and I found Dr Yang to be engaging, thorough , compassionate and caring. She took the time needed and answered all my questions and asked me when done if I had any other. Love her
August 16, 2024

The office staff is very professional, respectful and friendly. I like that they smile a lot and seems to be happy to be working there. Dr. Lisa Yang is amazing! She is caring and treats her patient with respect. She's very thorough and share the information in a way that the patient will understand. She did the cataract surgery of my husband 3 yrs ago without any issue. She will do the surgery on the other eye this year. My husband is at ease because he knows that he's in great hands.
August 15, 2024
Lisa Yang is very good at providing speaker information. She also was wonderful in giving for a SUPER experience.

I have always received very good service from the staff that assists me. Thank you very much.
August 13, 2024
Yes, Dr. Yang is more like a friend than a doctor. So I'm very pleased with her performance.
August 13, 2024
Support staff gave me a thorough pre check up prior to being seen by Dr. Yang, who in turn gave me a thorough interpretation and further examination of my eyes.
August 13, 2024
Dr Yang is a great listener, very professional, knowledgeable and keeps the patient informed while she's performing her tests. You never feel she's just rushing you and always ensuring that the patient leaves the office very satisfied with her care!! Her office staff is very friendly and professional as well.
August 06, 2024
The front desk acted like I had never been there before and I was there six months ago. They claimed not to have any of my current Medicare and health cards and needed my license to scan. I don't know what that was all about and poor Dr. Yang is so overbooked it's pathetic. So I love her dearly but she she needs help and everybody wants Dr. Yang I guess as well as I. Thank you very much goodbye.
August 06, 2024
It was as always...excellent!
August 06, 2024
Great Doctor.
August 02, 2024
Dr. Yang's thorough examination and concise explanations are the two reasons why my husband and I continue to be patients. Also appreciated the same care from (name removed) one of the eye care assistants.
August 01, 2024
The entire service was excellent with a lot of respect and I would recommend your services to many people, family and friends, bless and care for you and protect you and your families for what you do with us, the officials treat us very well and that deserves a precious blessing amen.

July 30, 2024
My experience in this when I have been with the doctor, she has always treated me very well and I would never change her for anything else, thank you.
July 30, 2024
I usually have a long wait time to see this provider, it is a very busy office. However, this time the wait was just a couple of minutes.
July 30, 2024
Dr. Yang is always very thorough in her examination and whenI leave her office I feel well taken care of.
July 30, 2024
Dr Yang is the most thorough ophthalmologist I have seen. That said, she often runs late and waiting times can exceed an hour. However, time spent with her is 100% quality time and worth the wait.
July 17, 2024
Mrs. Yang is a wonderful ophthalmologist. Every time I'm seen by her, the care is absolutely wonderful. I would recommend her to every member of my family. Thank you. Bye-bye.
July 16, 2024
Dr. Yang is very detailed in everything she has say about my exam. I would recommend Dr. Yang to everyone that needs a doctor.
July 12, 2024
Dr. Yang is always very helpful and attentive and I was very impressed with this visit with the front staff. It was a female wearing a light blue shirt. She explained everything in detail and went out of her way to help me check in. Thank you.

July 09, 2024
No complain at all
June 28, 2024
I was treated very professionally, but I finished everything 2 1/2 hours from the start of my appointment time and attention due to the overload of patients that Dr. Lisa Yang has, she needs help from another equally prepared doctor. Thank you.
June 28, 2024
The office staff are very professional and helpful so are the technicians that help you with the tests
June 28, 2024
I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Lisa Yang, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Dr. Yang is exceptionally skilled, compassionate, and thorough in her approach. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my diagnosis in detail, and outline a clear and effective treatment plan. Her professionalism and dedication to patient care are truly outstanding. I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire process. Dr. Yang and her team provided excellent service, and I am very grateful for the care I received. (PHI removed)
June 19, 2024
I'm very pleased with Dr. Yang. She always takes her time with me as a patient. She explains things thoroughly. She even pauses and asks if you have any questions, which is very rare for any doctor to do nowadays. And I'm very pleased with her bedside manner and, again, just very knowledgeable. And I love going to her office because she's just the best. Thank you.
June 18, 2024
Hi, my name is Ms. (PHI removed) and I just recently went to see Dr. Yang for an appointment and I just want to say I'm so thankful that she's part of your group and also her assistance, her attendance, all the way from the receptionist to Dr. Yang, they did a marvelous job.

May 10, 2024
Dr Yang is the amazing. Thank you so much
May 09, 2024
The problem I had with Dr. Yang was my appointment was at 3:15, and I didn't get there, I didn't get to see her until maybe quarter to four. So I think she's got a lot of people to see and that was the only problem. But so far I liked her very much.
May 03, 2024
Dr. Yang is an example of professionalism and knowledge.
April 30, 2024
If this in regards to Dr. Yang, she is courteous, delightful, very well educated and she answers all your questions in a very dignified and clear way. Thank you.
April 26, 2024
Doctor and staff are super knowledgeable, professional and friendly
April 25, 2024
The care I got from Dr. Yang is really good care and I really like her as a doctor. The reason for my low rating, the two low ones that I gave, is because I had to wait three months for an appointment to see her. I called weekly to try to get a cancellation appointment and there was never anything available. And I just think that three months is a bit on the ridiculous side. So, that's all. Thank you.
April 24, 2024
All went well No problems at all , smooth sailing ?? All Good ? the Truth be Told ??
April 23, 2024
That Dr Yang was very professional, I've been seen her for the past 3 years and always have the time to explain things in a way that I Understood about my eyes . Excellent Dr. Very professional
April 23, 2024
Dr. Yang is very thorough during her exam. She always shares her findings and asks if I have any questions. Her staff is also very attentive.
April 19, 2024
Always a pleasant experience. The staff is very attentive and helpful. Very friendly. Technician, (name removed), was very patient and explained everything she was doing and put me at ease. Dr. Yang is a wonderful and caring doctor. She always listens, provides information as she is performing examination, making me feel relaxed and confident that I'm in good hands. Thank you, Dr. Yang!
April 19, 2024
Yes, I would like a paper, a summary of my visit there with Dr. Yang. At the end of the visit, I go to the office. I get my next appointment, but not instructions on what to do, even though she did tell me, but I forget. I would like that to happen on a sheet of paper, printout or something about our visit and instructions. Thank you very much.
April 18, 2024
Dr. Yang was extremely thorough and very reassuring.
April 18, 2024
A very professional doctor
April 16, 2024
The office and support staff were highly professional, competent and friendly. My care giver, Dr. Yang, was superb. Dr. Yang is one of the most thorough, competent and patient friendly doctors I have ever had. She does a thorough examination, assessment of concerns and issues and explains things extremely well.
April 12, 2024
They treated me very well, it's very good. Thank you.
April 09, 2024
The wait time for this office experience was too long, more than an hour .
April 09, 2024
A 2 hour wait from your scheduled appointment is way to long.I know she is busy but 2 hours.
April 05, 2024
The entire staff and Dr. Yang are tremendous. My only issue with this visit: I was told my wait after the preliminary check in would be about an hour since someone who had an earlier appointment arrived after I did (and I was 25 minutes early to my appointment time). I think that if someone is late to their appointment (from my understanding by an hour), I should not have been pushed back since I was on time. Priority should not be necessarily given based on appointment time but as to arrival time. Meaning because I was on time to my 2pm appointment I should not have to wait for someone who was an hour late to their 1pm appointment.
April 05, 2024
Dr. Yang is a wonderful, caring professional. My only negative is how long it takes to get an appt. and how long it takes in the office.
April 04, 2024
She is the best and excellent ophthalmologist
April 03, 2024
Yes, my appointment was supposed to be for 30 minutes, and I was there over three hours. And I was seen for about maybe five minutes. But I waited three hours when it was supposed to be a 30 minute. I waited three hours, and I was seen for five minutes. I totally did not like that. And she wasn't really professional. I mean, she didn't explain anything to me. She just did what she's got to do, stay quiet. And that was it. I was out. That's it. I'm not happy at all. Thank you. Bye.
April 03, 2024
Very professional very informative and so friendly
April 02, 2024
Hello, Lisa is very friendly and she knows her eyes, she knows her profession, but I think she schedules too many people at one time because she told me that, and this is the second time I've been there, that she has, you know, you go there and you come out at, like, you go there at 3 o'clock and get out at 5 o'clock, I think she said that she had too many difficult cases, so possibly she could schedule a little bit more time between each patient so she can not feel rushed at the end of the day like she was with me. She was kind of like a little frustrated and had to say that she had difficult patients today. So, but anyway, that's just one of my thoughts. I know it's difficult in scheduling, but maybe that would be what I say might help.
March 12, 2024
Very informative and nice
March 08, 2024
Doctor is by far one of the best in her field!
March 08, 2024
Yes, I was very happy going to see this doctor. I've been with her about six or seven years and I will continue seeing her. Thank you.
March 07, 2024
My sis (PHI removed) needs Cathrats surgery so I recommend Dr.Lisa Yang. I was bit nervous, & Dr.Yang set me as ease. Very thankful with her team also.
March 07, 2024
I was seen 1/2 hour later by Dr. Yang. I was not seen on a timely basis.
March 06, 2024
Almost perfect....
March 05, 2024
I had to wait an hour and a half to be seen. That made it very inconvenient for me and I was not happy about that.
March 01, 2024
My visit was great, the personal very helpful and friendly..
March 01, 2024
Excellent professional and personal manners.
February 29, 2024
Dr. Yang is very helpful and professional
February 22, 2024
Everybody there does a great job.
February 22, 2024
Everything was very satisfactory. I was very, very thankful. Thank you.
February 22, 2024
The only thing that wants comments is that I was wrong in the first number that I put the first question instead of marking 4 more than the other one is just this last time if it didn't take a long time, but other times it was a very long time, which One is that I have waited a long time for him to attend to me, but everything else is very good, thank you.
February 21, 2024
The office of Dr. Yang and Lisa Yang, they were great. I would recommend them. And if I could give her a 20, I would give her a 20. She was, she is fabulous. I would trust her with my life. Thank you. Bye.
February 20, 2024
The only problem I had with the appointment was the waiting time. You're warned ahead of time that you may be waiting an hour and a half at least because the doctor is behind. It's a permanent message on the screen, and it just shows that she's probably overloaded with patients because there are a lot of patients in the actual waiting room, and they're taken in, and preliminary tests are done, and then you're sent back to wait, and then sometimes it's an hour and a half before you see the doctor again. I realize she's very busy, but it's very bad when you make an appointment and you're there for like three hours for an appointment that takes maybe 45 minutes. But that was probably my only complaint.
February 20, 2024
It's a joy to go to Dr. Yang for my yearly and also in case I have a problem, I can come in and they will squeeze me in somehow. She is extremely small, Dr. Yang, and she explains every little thing she does and she compares the view from the computer from last year and with this year with my retina and whatever we are concerned about. I really appreciate that. She explains it so easily to me and listens to me. I just love her. I'm so glad I have her for my eye doctor. The same with the staff, the technical staff. They are polite and kind and friendly and they know what they are supposed to do. Thank you.
February 20, 2024
Love the doctor - Very detailed, organized, and thorough. The technicians are great - detailed and careful on the tests. It takes too long from check-in until one sees the doctor. It is a half hour appointment (maybe 40 min if there are tests), it should not take more than 2 hrs of my time to be in the building. My time is as important as their time.
February 20, 2024
Dr. Yang is very professional and very knowledgeable. I feel very blessed to be her patient.
February 20, 2024
Your medical clinic is both professional and welcoming, akin to family. I'll be sure to recommend it to others.
February 15, 2024
I was treated the best of my life. I like Dr. Lisa Yang. She is the utmost and very careful with my eyes. Thank you so much. And I want to stay with Dr. Lisa Yang as my doctor. Thank you so much. God bless you.
February 15, 2024
Dr. Yang is an outstanding opthalmologist.
February 14, 2024
This provider and her staff are great I always receive excellent service and everything is explained completely
February 13, 2024
Very friendly staff and clean.
February 09, 2024
The doctor was very good, as was the staff. Thank you.
February 08, 2024
I knew I need to wait for seeing her after I got an appointment. But waiting for seeing her is 2 hours ? As a patient I am frustrated because I have a back problem and I suffer pain. In the meantime I tried to take a walk to ease my pain. Is it possible to see doctor in a reasonable time? Help solve this issue, please. I really appreciate it. Because patients come to see particular doctor may have other health issues. I hope who read my comments understand what I said. If I said anything not appropriate please forgive me. Thanks
February 08, 2024
Dr Yang & staff were wonderful!
February 08, 2024
Dr Yang is a great doctor and really cares about her patients.
February 01, 2024
difficult to have an appointment with this provider
January 25, 2024
The people in the office are very respectable and very kind and very patient. And I love Dr. Yang. She's wonderful.
January 25, 2024
Excellent service.
January 25, 2024
The appointment was for 11 o'clock and I wasn't taken down, consultation until 1230. And no, they didn't explain to me nothing. And all they said was they wanted $195 for consultation and all they did was just an x-ray with a machine that goes around and I don't think it was right. So I used my debit card and no, I wasn't satisfied for what they did. They spent too much time on, I had too much time in the lobby. The appointment was, like I said, the appointment was at 11 and they didn't call me in until 1230.
January 25, 2024
Good doctor.
January 25, 2024
The waiting time in the lobby was long to see the doctor, but Dr Yang is a caring person who listens to your concerns and provides the best treatment for you
January 24, 2024
When I arrived at the office, I was emotional regarding my eye site. After speaking with Lisa Yang MD, When we completed my test and found somethings to be concerned about. After she went one by one with each concern I was hopefully and glad it can all be address under her care at PIH. I was treated as a VIP the moment I walked into the eye care ste 301 was life changing. Warmly welcomed very professional and all had smiles. Thank you!
January 23, 2024
Dr Lisa Yang is thorough in her exams. She is always pleasant and caring. I appreciate that she takes the time to explain everything clearly.
January 09, 2024
My entire visit was a very nice encounter!!
January 09, 2024
Great professional staff, they listened to the patients concerns. Kind, attentive.
January 09, 2024
Have been waiting too much time before the doctor see us.
January 05, 2024
Dr. Yang is very professional. I really like her. If she left PIH and went somewhere else, I would go with her. That's how much I like her and her staff.
January 03, 2024
The doctor was running hours behind schedule. I was expected to wait hours until she could see me. An appointment was made and I can accept a reasonable time to wait certainly not hours. It's not my problem that she is SO through that she then runs behind.
January 02, 2024
As always Dr Yang is always professional, kind compassionate and most of she listens to all your concerns and issues. I truly trust her judgment. I'm extremely pleased with her care as my doctor
January 02, 2024
When you have a 2:15 appointment.... But don't get called until 4:15 is a ridiculously long wait. Something need to change!
January 02, 2024
She's a great doctor. I've been seeing her for years, and I stay with her because she's real good on everything she does. Thank you.
January 02, 2024
Hello, Ms. Yang is so professional. She takes her time. She's very careful and she's caring about my personal care. My experience with her is absolutely fantastic. I would not see anybody else but Ms. Yang. I just love this lady. Bye bye.

December 15, 2023
It took me a long time to arrive at the 3:30 visit, they didn't attend me until 5.
December 14, 2023
Love your PIH caretakers & Doctors..
December 12, 2023
You need to improve your office staff and your appointments. I had an appointment a certain time, but I didn't go in until an hour and 15 minutes later, and I do not appreciate that. If I have an appointment, I would like to go in and see my provider on time.
December 12, 2023
I was able to see the doctor on time on this appointment being that I was the first patient of the day when I have had later appointments I have waited up to 50 minutes
December 08, 2023
The staff who assisted me treated me with great respect and professionalism, thank you.
December 08, 2023
Dr Yang explains every part of exam & then follows up with it in writing on my patient portal, which is great because she covers a lot during exam. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and seems to enjoy her work. I am very happy that she is my Dr.
December 08, 2023
They were very professional, and did a very good job
December 07, 2023
It would be helpful to maybe triage or assign more doctors to that facility. The waits are long and it seems that the doctors have a lot on their plate.
December 05, 2023
Very good patient care
December 01, 2023
2 hrs. wait at the office.

It was a long wait, 2 hours waiting. My appointment was at 9.30 and I saw her at 11, almost 12... So it was too long, two hours waiting.

The entire staff of this office is very, very helpful, kind, respectful, and I love Dr. Yang. She is one of the best doctors I've ever had. She explains everything as we're going through the visit, as she's examining my eyes. I just love her. You can tell that she is a caring doctor and cares about all of her patients. I would recommend her to anyone that needed any attention from an ophthalmologist. Thank you.
