Just left the office frustrated that we were told a follow up visit would be covered by our insurance, then found out it was not. They knew our insurance but only prescribed contacts that were not covered by our insurance. Ended up leaving the appointment disappointed we were not able to get the contacts we came for. The waiting room always empty. Staff just standing around. Melody Kim is very nice but just maybe very very brand new? Waited to talk to staff at the front desk but they were so busy talking with each other in another language that they left us standing there for longer than they should have. We couldn't find any customer ratings anywhere on her but we decided to give here a try anyway. After our experience, I think we will be finding a new eye doctor moving forward.
