Peiling Chen OD is excellent. She is part of the Wilmer Eye Institute. I visit her every six months to ensure that I am not experiencing a problem with a drug given to me by my rheumatologist.On days when I have tests she has them set up for me in advance. She also has shared with me information about a procedure that would keep my eyes moist.

I believe I received a very thorough diabetic eye exam during this visit. Because I have a prism in my glasses this provider had to refer me to another colleague who is knowledgeable in this form of refracting. Therefore I had to make another appointment.

A few years ago, I was prescribed cyclosporine, and since then she has been the person who sees me every six months-or sooner, depending on her recommendations. At each visit, she explains her findings and treatment plan very clearly. For me, understanding the health of my eyes is very important.

The doctor is very knowledgeable and professional, except that she seemed to have left the office after dilating my eyes, and I had to wait a very long time to be seen After my eyes were dilated. This was An early morning appointment and I was trying to get to work so it was quite inconvenient. Another doctor went to look for her while I was waiting and said she had stepped out.

Felt like the doctor was simply following a script. Never bothered to look at my referral or listen to me. She seemed overwhelmed and harried- and was simply trying to enter data into the computer and move to the next task.
