My appointment with Dr. Chia was a follow up appointment. While checking my eyes, I told him I feel like I always have cobweb in my eyes. He did a thorough check and found out that my right lens was cloudy. He took care of it that same time. Now, I can see well. Thank you Dr. Chia for your great care.

Providence Patient
This was an eye doctor, an ophthalmologist, not my main doctor which is why I did not answer question 1 - most of my health is peripheral to what he was checking. He is good at his specialty.

Good

Providence Patient
The MA's are always fantastic!!Dr. Chia is seemingly kind, and soft spoken.I have felt I was in good hands; however, this visit from what he verbally stated to me and what he wrote in the visit summary was a shock!!! There was little continuity left me distant, not sure about moving forward with him in the future.

Providence Patient
Smart empathetic pragmatic Dr
Providence Patient
I have no problem with the personal everything was good.
Providence Patient
Felt a bit discouraged as I wanted a quicker response to my cataracts being an issue to my night driving. Told doctor I have been coping with this since January. To "wait and see" how my eyes are doing another month is just another 30 days of misery waiting for surgery to be done.
Providence Patient
Both the doctor and the medical assistant were very informative, which calm my nerves about having the procedure. Both were pleasant and took the time necessary for me to get all my questions answered without Any confusion.
Providence Patient
Everyone was friendly and professional
Providence Patient
Experience was great. Every single staff member was exceptional
Providence Patient
All throughout my first visit to Dr. Chia's until my post-op follow-ups for cataract surgery, I find that my expectations were met fully well supported by the staff who efficiently run the practice in Ophthalmology. I would say with confidence and honesty that Dr. Chia is not only good but because I received the pre- and post-op care I needed, he is relevant to the practice because he is excellent. I wish he continues to practice his specialty as long as possible to help others like me correct our vision for us to enjoy the world as other good-sighted people do. This holds true most especially to the visually challenged, visually impaired and seniors like myself Thank you.
