    Dr Han is an outstanding physician with superb communication skills and deep compassion for her patients

    Dr. Haun was a jewel. This was my first time seeing her. Dr. Haun and her staff were very gentle and made me aware of everything that was going on.

    Dr. Han is very efficient with her time while still stopping to answer any questions/concerns as well as gives great detail/info about the care during the visit and about follow-up visits and for meds. She is very careful to o insure that a procedure is necessary and doubly verified that all processes were explained and paperwork was gone over and signed off applicable. She is a wonderful doctor and makes sure that patients are ok, even if things are taking longer than planned....I've seen her check in on other waiting patients just to update them, which isn't always done by other doctors. I can't speak highly enough about the level of care that she gives to everyone, including the family that is with her patients.

    The initial Dr., the Fellow, was attentive and listened well. Was thorough in exam and explained well about his diagnosis. Explained treatment plan well and follow up necessary.

    Dr. Sun referred Dr. Han to me for a second opinion. There wasn't much discussion; she provided her opinion that my pressures were acceptable. No need for surgery at this time.

    Dr. Han is wonderful. She truly cares about her patients. I imagine her shifts are very long and she is always pleasant and engaged when I see her. We had a very good visit and conversation, and I really appreciated her recommendations for my care and treatment going forward. This is a really scary eye condition that I have, and Dr. Han helps me navigate it w/confidence, courage, optimism and grace.

    Dr. Han explained in detail my options for cataract surgery. She even called a couple of times and was so responsive to my concerns.
    May 31, 2024
    The entire experience was very positive
    May 13, 2024
    The visit 3ended with a medical decision which was discussed with another physician behind closed doors. I thought that such decisions should be open-ended and patient should be in on at least part of that. It would have been helpful to hear the second point of view also and the reasoning behind it that may have taken place. Overall I was pleased with the ultimate decision and it was explained to me with thoroughness.

    Jun 02, 2023
    Even when pressed for time, Dr.Han will always make sure to give you the answers you need, the care you came in for, and takes the time to look at the area that was or is needing attention. She is very efficient with her time while still trying to make sure I get everything I need out of the visit and makes sure that I am doing ok or ensures that I have the info, meds, and/or plan of action to get better.
    May 30, 2023
    Dr. Han is so energetic and knowledgeable, it feels like being in the presence of a "master." Except she's much friendlier than someone of her status usually is! She's amazing and obviously her team and students love her.
    May 29, 2023
    Dr Han is a very busy very talented ophthalmic surgeon
    May 27, 2023
    The wait time is not good. Once I saw my doctor I knew I was in competent hands but I felt sorry for my doctor's being so harried by the numbers of patients they had to see. Too many for one doctor.
    May 27, 2023
    I am so glad I requested Out of Network referral to Dr. Han.
