    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.
