Edward Koo, MD

I was referred to Dr. Koo by my primary care physician to treat what could be pink eye or contact overwear syndrome. The diagnosis turned out to be the latter. But the reason I am providing Dr. Koo and his staff with 5 stars is I received excellent priority care the same day I needed it along with truly hospitable service. I’ve returned for contacts and eyeglasses which I’ve also been happy with. I highly recommend this office.

Professional, Personable, and Thorough. Clean office, many glasses to choose from (if needed) onsite. Great staff too.

The first time I went to see Dr. Koo, I thought he was pretty good and thorough. However, I quickly realized that he didn’t really provide any diagnostic information or solutions about the vision problems that I have been experiencing. I have been wearing contact lenses for many years and started to get redness when I wake up or when I did computer work for a long period of time. He only prescribed an antibiotics drop and told me to stop wearing contact lenses until the redness was gone. However, the problem recurred a few days after I stopped using the drop and the redness continued everyday even if I wore glasses. I went back again to tell him my problem, but he basically just told me to stop or reduce the time of wearing contact lenses. I went back to this office and also saw another doctor when Dr. Koo was out. By this time, I had to pay the deductible for each visit, and the time the doctor spent with me was less than 5 minutes (I want to say less than 3 minutes). Both doctors didn’t give me any diagnostic information about the cause of my problem. They only handed me a sample lubricating drop and said to come back if the eyes got worse. I really feel like that this office is trying to make money from our visits, so the doctor only spends very little time with each patient that he doesn’t have the quality time to work with patients.

Quick, knowledgeable and friendly. Very clean office and looked like they had a decent selection of glasses. Luckily, I won’t need cause I got Lasik… life changer!

Dr Koo knows eyes like we know how to surf the ‘net. He seen just about everything and treats eye issues with actual experience, not trumped up confidence.

After a bad experience at another ophthalmologist’s office, I am relieved to have gone to Dr. Koo. The office is totally Zen, which helps to relax you before they poke you in the eye to test the pressure. Don’t worry; they put numbing drops in your eyes! After dilating your eyes, you can watch fun nature programs on the flat screen in the dark room if you can still see. HKB didn’t have his contacts in, so he had no idea it was me.
Dr. Koo is also awesome because he replaced the contacts/​glasses for his patients that were victims of the San Bruno fire.
