I had a great intake experience here with Dr. Cheng and Dr. Liu. They were very patient and thorough while we worked through taking my very high prescription which didn't match my current glasses. I will be moving before I could do the follow-up appointments, so I ultimately didn't go forward with the surgery but if I was staying in the neighborhood I would have felt like I was in very good hands. The other office staff were great as well.

It was a refreshing visit to the SF Eye Institute today. I have always appreciated the staff and the friendliness and knowledge of the doctors BUT I had come to dread my appts because of the long wait times! Today, I was brought into the exam room by the assistant who asked a few questions. Dr Cheng came in five minutes later. After a vision exam and conversation, she put drops for dilation and left the room to see another patient but returned within seven minutes when my eyes were dilated. She did a thorough exam and thoroughly discussed my vision and the health of my eyes. I was in and out of my appt within an hour and fifteen minutes. I was thrilled to have such an excellent and timely visit.
I had recent cataract surgery with a Light Adjustable Lens. My eye has previously had a DMEK corneal transplant and so I am very cautious. I am very happy that Dr. Margaret Liu agreed to do the surgery. I've had a great experience with the SF Eye Institute, and feel fortunate to be a patient of Dr Liu, and Dr. Cheng's team. They are kind and have taken the time to explain procedures and possible outcomes with me.
Helena is a wonderful doctor: smart, focused, kind-hearted, practical, and client-oriented. She has done a terrific job for Christina and me over many years. We are blessed to know and work with her.
Wonderful experience. Answered all of my questions and eased any concerns. Very helpful. I highly recommend. Great experience. Very open honest and positive experience soothing any fears worries or concerns. Greatful parking below building and easy access. Definitely first class.
