Gregory Huan Phan, MD

Dr. Phan is not only a good doctor but also a good person. These qualities go hand in hand in order to receive the best care.
My father is an Ophthalmologist that practices elsewhere and referred me to his office.
My favorite pair of glasses are from the office and the staff is very friendly, sweet, and accommodating.
To those not familiar with the medical field leaving uninformed reviews:
As an Ophthalmologist, he is qualified for minor procedures like fillers and botox. Any physician can take extended training and be certified to do these procedures which he has been doing for years and very diligently preforms for fantastic results.
This means EVEN PLASTIC SURGEONS must take the SAME extended training to do such procedures.
So any physician in ANY field who does minor procedures takes additional training to be qualified. All physicians with medical training and residency training are «REAL DOCTORS», for those that are not accustomed to the field of medicine.
Naturally an Ophthalmologist has a hand in the art form of procedures in a tiny area of the body, being that they have extensive training with years of operating on the EYE. So that being said they often times can be even better than a plastic surgeon who has practiced on larger areas and might not be as detail oriented for smaller areas.
I myself am a physician and I advise anyone leaving reviews for any doctor to be aware that you have not had medical training and it is not appropriate to assume something is «wrong» because you don’t like the way it looks while being performed.
I know a lot of his patients who have come to him for these minor procedures and they are all VERY happy with the results.

To my knowledge, Dr Phan is an eye doctor/​Lasik doctor and that is what he specializes in… so is he by law allowed to perform fillers and Botox injections on patients?
Ladies, if you are considering going to this office for fillers/​botox by word of mouth than please go to a REAL DOCTOR that specialize in fillers or Botox. I am not a doctor but I had some experiences prior going to him, I came here with a friend so that she can get chin fillers but the whole time that I was there I felt as if everything he said and everything he did was not right but like I said I am not a doctor so I wasn’t sure… Before the procedure started all he did was numb her with an ice pack, correct me if I am wrong but isn’t numbing cream supposed to be applied prior to the procedure? After leaving on the ice pack for less than 10 mins, he started the procedure on her. I’ve notice that when he perform the injection, he only injected the needle into one side of her chin only, which I thought was weird. After the procedure was done, he gave her some tissue and basically told her to mold her own chin, his exact words were «don’t push your chin in just pull it out» again, correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the doctor supposed to mold the chin himself? I than decided to asked him some questions, there was one question that I remember very well that I had asked, I asked «can you inject fillers in her cheek so that her cheeks can have more volume? His exact answer was «she was born like that» meaning no volume in her cheeks is natural. Wow, aren’t you a doctor, if she doesn’t have something to enhance her beauty than create it on her face to make her beautiful but I didn’t want to comment because I didn’t want to insult him… After we get in the car, we both notice her chin was uneven! She ended up having to go to another place to correct the horrible procedure that Dr. Phan did. Please do not come here ladies if you are considering it.

I woke up one day with my eyes being itching and tearing. I thought it was just minor itch so i decided to drop some clear eyes drop to my eyes. I waited for more than an hour to see if i get better. Unfortunately, it just got worst so i decided to look for a DO near my house and found Dr. Phan office. At the time of my call, he was with a patient but he was able to accomdate me after that appointment. I never had eyes problems before and this is my first time and luckily i happened to meet the right Doctor. After his treatment, i were able to go back to work. Thank you Dr. Phan for being a nice and caring.
P.S i normally dont write reviews unless im more than 100% satisfied with the services.:)

I’m satisfied. Dr Phan is nice. He answered all my questions with knowledge and patience. I sure will refer my friends to him.

I’m very happy with the services of Dr. Phan’s office. They are very professional, patient oriented, and helpful. Dr Phan is very knowledgeable, and thorough with the examination of my eyes. He explained the Pros and Cons of the Lasik surgery.

I had my Lasik almost 2 years ago. My vision was perfectly fine except normal myopia. I have blurred vision and see poorly at night after the operation. I had to come and visit the doctor multiple times. The doctor offered to do an operation again on my right eye to fix the over-​correctness. Believing the problem is more than simple over-​correctness, I decided to seek second opinion at Stanford. They quickly diagnosed of my vision problem. First the Lasik area does not match my pupil shape so I have blurred vision. Second the cornea was not flattened evenly so I see halo and starburst at night. Third is Hyperopia (over-​correctness). Forth is that the operation induced astigmatism so I see doubles.
This has been one of my biggest mistakes by going to this clinic for Lasik (I thought Lasik is very simple). They did much fewer measurements than what Stanford has performed. There is very little chance they can deliver the best result. Yes, they charge less but they also perform very very poorly.

I am very unhappy with the service, I did the eye LASIK surgery. They help me make a follow up appointment. I got here today and they said your surgery already past one year, we can’t see you and we need your insurance. I paid cash to do this, I drove 45 mins to one hour here. I won’t recommend anyone to here anymore!!! Totally ridiculous！

This review is for his job in fillers. I came to him by word of mouth and had been coming to him for about a year. Although he does a good job, he is unsanitary and he overcharges. Not once have I seen him wash his hands. He uses old marking pencils on your face and then throws it back in his drawers. He is not a plastic surgeon, but charge more than one. I stopped coming to him and will not be back.

I showed up over 45 min early to my appointment, fully expecting to wait. After I filled out some paperwork, the assistant took me into the exam room right away. Dr. Phan was very diligent and very thorough with the examination of the eyes.
I was asked whether it was a medical appointment or a regular eye check-​up. After specifying that it was a regular eye-​checkup, I hope not to find out that my insurance was billed for a medical visit.
I needed to have a DMV form filled out and the office wanted to charge me a $ 25 fee. I have never heard of office charging money for forms. After I raised my concerns, this fee was «waived» but the episode still left a sour taste in my mouth. Minus 1 star for this.

I am someone who has had «perfect vision» my whole life and just recently had a change due to strain from school and work. I finally decided I needed to get an eye exam/​glasses and found Dr. Phan from a list my insurance gave me. I called over and was pleased that they were able to get me in for a next day appointment. My actual appointment went smoothly. No wait, helpful front desk staff, Dr. Phan was very nice, answered my many questions and listened to everything I had to say. He took his time to check everything and in my opinion, did a thorough and complete job.
When it came time to choose the actual glasses and lenses, I was being picky and they didnt’ have any I particularly liked so they told me not to worry — I could go somewhere else if I wanted. The woman who helped me wrote out my prescription and quoted me their prices and let me go on my way. I appreciated that they didn’t pressure me to buy frames and lenses from them.
Overall, good, solid experience with friendly staff. I would definitely go back for eye care in the future.

I love writing reviews when they are absolutely easy to write. I chose to have my surgery done by Dr Phan as a few of my close friends recommended him from their surgery. I did read some of the bad reviews cuz I am always diligent but realized none of the bad reviews were about the surgery or the work done and since i had friends that went there I decided to trust my eyes to these guys.
As we all are, I am a bit nervous when it comes to anyone touching my eyes and was a bit nervous at first. Dr Phan and his assistant really made me feel comfortable as they told me everything every step of the way. I would say their calm demeanor and ability to just have normal conversation with me while they performed the procedure made me feel really comfortable and a lot less nervous (which i needed). I rate these guys 5 stars as they did a great job on the surgery, they were affordable, had payment options, were patient with my nervousness and all around just made my experience easier than I expected.
I recommend these guys hands down.

I called to ask questions about my insurance. The front desk was very inpatient. So I decided to skip this clinic. After reading all the other reviews, I think I made a smart choice!

At first I was hesitant on coming here due to the bad reviews… but I then noticed that all the recent reviews are all 4 – 5 stars. Not only that, but my mom told me that Dr. Phan was a great Lasik eye surgeon who puts much time, concentration, and effort into his patients.
I am glad I went.
I really disliked my eye doctor, so I came to Dr. Phan. Right when I walked in, I was greeted by the lady at the desk and quickly filled out a form sheet. It was easy and straightforward. I only waited about 3 minutes until a nice lady name Ravina came to take pictures of my eye. She answered all my questions and was patient and understanding of my needs.
I then got my eyes checked by Dr. Phan. He is a very kind, easy to talk to man who put much effort to make sure I was getting the best check up and that all parts of my eyes were accounted for. He put twice the effort compared to my last optometrist. I told him that my eyes have recently been somewhat dry to lack of sleep during college and long use of soft contact lenses. He then checked the dryness of my eyes and checked my eyelids.
He told me I could get Lasik if I wanted to, but I think that I will stall on that for a couple of more years. I got new frames and Ravina helped me with my new contact lens prescription. What I love about Ravina was that she made sure to tell me EVERYTHING I needed to know. From the fit of my glasses to what she was doing-​, she was kind and helpful.
The only thing I have to note is that they do not have a wide range of designer glasses. However, they do have: Gucci, Ray Ban, and a couple others that I forgot. But not a whole lot.
I am very happy with my new eye doctor, something that I’ve never been happy with before!

6 stars possible?
I got my LASIK done from Dr. Phan 13 years ago and have been happy since.
He was amazing then and years later, still impressed!
I referred my brother, a couple cousins and a friend to him and everyone had the same results and would concur — money and trust in a Dr very well spent.
Recently learned that his office also does other laser procedures. Great friendly staff, very professional, clean (newer) space, convenient location on Stevens Creek.
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended or I wouldn’t have referred my own family to Dr. Phan.

I got my eyes corrected last year and I want to say that it’s the best investment I’ve made. Dr. Pham was very attentive to all my questions and concerns.
If I recall correctly, the procedure was only 15 mins long. There was no real downtime for recovery.
Though I did suffer from severe dry eyes shortly after as part of the side effects. Dr. Pham was awesome! He gave me complimentary tear duct plugs for the dry eyes. Can’t get better than that folks!
Pricing was very affordable. I would definitely recommend Dr. Pham for anyone considering LASIK.

I went to 5 places for consultation on having LASIK. Dr. Phan was the doctor I chose. I am very thorough when it comes to researching any large investment, and this wasn’t just money, this was my sight. I chose him because he was very personable and very passionate and knowledgable about what he does.
The consultation was free, and they were eager to sign me up with a date. I told them I needed to do some more consulting first.
I made my choice with no regard for saving money and solely with the intention of getting the best results. However, Dr. Phan was the least expensive of the consultations I went to. At the same time I felt most confident with talking with 4 other surgeons. I had many people say, «But it’s your eyes…» when I told them it was not terribly expensive…
I believe if you have special needs you may need to spend more more on different technology as opposed to traditional LASIK. I also believe there are many businesses that may take advantage of people’s concerns and charge more so that a customer will have peace of mind knowing they paid top dollar whether or not they need to. If you don’t have any complications, Dr. Phan is truly remarkable and you will not pay extra for technology you don’t need. If he doesn’t think his services will work for you, he will tell you, just as he had to tell my girlfriend.
My LASIK needs were straightforward without any complications, and when we consulted he said my vision should be ²⁰⁄₁₅ or possibly better after the surgery.
I am into photography as a hobby and part time career. This is not a choice I took lightly. Dr. Phan admitted he is also a photographer as a hobby. He loves collecting lenses and optics. Now, if that doesn’t indicate how passionate this man is about his work, I don’t know what could!
After several free return followups, I am seeing BETTER THAN ²⁰⁄₁₅. I am actually seeing ²⁰⁄₁₀! This is rare because it depends not only on the lens but also the receptors on the back of your eye. However, Dr. Phan was one of the two who made this prediction and the one who accomplished it. He even gave me slight overcorrection so that my sight will get better as I get older. This man is a master at what he does and I trust him completely.
I advise you to go to several places, but definitely visit Dr. Phan. I received thorough, honest, top-​notch service that was very personable and as a happy bonus, less expensive! 5 stars

Long long wait!!!
I did my LASIK here and every time I came back to check up they let me waited for more than an hour or two. Rediculous!!!

I came to Dr. Gregory Huan Phan after a friend highly recommended him. She and her family all had LASIK with Dr. Phan, and even very complicated cases with high level of astigmatism, all turned out successful beyond their expectations. Despite the fact that I wanted to do LASIK in both eyes, Dr. Phan suggested to do only the one with the highest number (I had very uneven vision in both eyes), and see if that would be enough. If a procedure is needed in the second eye, it will not cost me more that 2 eyes at once. I am very touched by Dr. Phan’s integrity, because any other doctor would just do both eyes at once, if the customer is ready to pay for it. But this doctor has integrity and honesty, and he would not perform an unnecessary procedure to increase his revenue. Today, is one day after the procedure, I have ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision, despite the fact that he only fixed one eye (the worst of the two). The procedure itself lasted 10 minutes, but there is a lot of checks and calculations needed to prepare the equipment. I had no pain during or after the procedure, only slight discomfort for about 5 hours after the procedure. I did not expect to see this well after only one eye was fixed. Dr. Phan is brilliant and honest doctor. I came to him not for the price, but because people recommended him highly, but it also turned out much cheaper than other clinics I investigated. I would recommend Dr. Phan to all my dearest friends and family, without any reservations.

The wait was really long… over an hour. The large office was empty except for one other patient when I got there. The receptionist showed up about fifteen minutes later. She is a little difficult to communicate with as her English is not great. There was some difficulty with my insurance because of this, but she was nice enough. Most of the magazines are in Chinese and what looked like another Asian language, which made the long wait even worse.
What was absolutely unacceptable is that after putting drops in my eyes to dilate my pupils (and drops to do something else,) the doctor didn’t say anything about it affecting my vision and they allowed me to leave their office by myself to drive home. It was just getting dark when I left, and all the street lights, stop lights and car lights were all like «starbursts» and blurring together. I thought I was crazy or something and called a friend who came to get me. It was my friend, who wears glasses, who told me that you are not supposed to drive for 6 hours after having the drops in your eyes. He says his doctor makes sure that a patient knows this and won’t put the drops in unless they confirm that the patient has transportation home.
Allowing me to leave without even telling me all this was dangerous. If I’d had an accident and hurt myself or somebody else, they would have been liable. Not all patients are going to pull over to the side of the road and be able to call a friend!

UPDATE: Our medical insurance did an investigation and awarded us the majority of the money back that Dr. Phan had billed (500 $ of the 650). They correctly found that spending 15 minutes with a patient does NOT a medical appointment make– especially when it wasn’t even a medical appointment to begin with, JUST for glasses and contacts!!! Aetna shouldn’t even be using this dishonest Doctor’s office as a provider (let that be a warning to all Aetna subscribers reading this).
Also with this office… had MAJOR problems transferring our contact prescriptions later. They basically said «the doctor needs to be here to sign it» in order to transfer our prescription to Lenscrafters. This basically meant, they didn’t! The people working at Lenscrafters had never heard of this, and they themselves felt bad for us! We just ended up getting a new glasses/​contacts exam since it was already covered under our insurance.
Have I heard a single word from the doctor himself since our incident? Of course not. He obviously has no problem with cheating a young couple out of their HSA savings and only credited it back once investigated for insurance fraud.
