"I just left Westwood Ophthalmology where I had an evaluation for an upcoming surgical procedure. From beginning to end it was an extremely professional experience. Reception staff, then Stacey who took many measurements of my eyes and explained the relevance of all to me to finally consulting with Dr. Chin - everything was great. Although the practice was extremely busy I was in no way rushed through the process and any questions I had were answered thoroughly. I’m now looking forward to my surgery in a few weeks with complete confidence. Highly recommend Westwood Ophthalmology!"
