Sun William Z MD

Dr. Sun seems capable except he has no bedside manner AT ALL. I’ve been having some tests done to determine if I have a major problem (glaucoma) or not. The first time I went, I thought he was quick and rude, but I gave him another chance, thinking it was just me or maybe he was trying to catch up or something that day…
On my next visit, I asked him to explain something to me because I was really confused about all of the tests. Honestly, that’s all I said.
He yelled at me, said, «you still don’t believe me!» after I said nothing, lectured me and told me I needed to be «more trusting of others» (what?), shook his head, got up, and never did explain the tests to me. I was still sitting there. The front desk staff apologized for him but I left blurry eyed, in shock, and in tears. I think he may know what he’s doing, but you will never know because he won’t take the time to explain it to you. I seriously wasn’t asking for much… He also doesn’t even tell you when he’s going to dilate your eyes… Just picks up the drops and tells you to lean back.
I have never had an experience like this ever. I didn’t even know what to do. I don’t want to find another doctor, but I really need him/​her to explain simple concepts to me without yelling at me.
Anyhow, I felt like I should warn others. If you just need a routine checkup, he’s probably fine, but don’t expect an explanation and don’t ask for one or you too will be accused of being untrusting.

I’ve been using Dr. Sun for many many years. Although his office is a bit cluttered, I have never had anything less than a proper exam and time to chat with the Doctor. I have also never had an issue with a prescription he’s written for me.
Lastly, when I had some issues with my eyes, he was very quick to make time available for me and was diligent in follow-​ups and quick to recommend a specialist when necessary.

I hate for my first Unilocal review to be such a negative one, but after having a phenomenal doctor’s appointment somewhere else (which I made after my terrible experience here) I feel inspired to finally contribute to Unilocal and let people know not to go here.
As Dr. Sun’s first reviewer Unilocaled, the space itself is messy and the equipment looks outdated. Enough said about that.
As for Dr. Sun, his exam was quick and half hazard. After explaining to him that my current prescription was blurry, I expect the doctor to be particularly careful when figuring out my new prescription. Instead, he was EXTREMELY quick when comparing the different lenses, giving me literally less than 2 seconds to determine the clearer one. That part of the exam he concluded with «I don’t know whats wrong with your eyes. They are just not perfect» (errr, yea — I wear glasses!) when he couldn’t seem to find a lens that I could see perfectly with (which was NOT the case with the eye doctor I went to today).
After that, I still wanted to talk about my contacts, as I’ve been unhappy with mine. He said he couldn’t at that time because he didn’t have the contacts. (This has NEVER happened to me — a sufficiently prepared optometrist office has sample contacts of every kind). He also wanted to charge me an ADDITIONAL $ 150 for the contact fitting. (In my last doctor’s experience, this was included in the exam, and the place I went to today was $ 79)
Lastly, he put dilating drops in my eyes and told me to sit in the waiting room for ten minutes. About 30 minutes later (and i don’t know what the hold up was as I was the ONLY patient there) he called me in. When he was done, he sent me out in the BRIGHT sun by myself, not seeming to care if I was okay or offer some shades (okay, I know this is my responsibility to take care of myself, but this is just another example of his poor bedside manner, and again a huge contrast to the experience I had today, where the doctor told me he wouldn’t dilate my eyes because I was alone).
I thought until today that maybe I was being overly sensitive and therefore irrational. I now realize I wasn’t and there are DEFINITELY way better options out there!

I went in to see Dr. Sun for a routine eye exam. I was greeted by a very lovely woman who asked that I wait just a couple of minutes, no longer than 5 or 10. I was then called in and welcomed by Dr. Sun who was extremely friendly. The exam was like any other I had received before. Very quick and no fuss, just the way I like them to be! I will definitely recommend Dr. Sun to all and will be going back in the future.

I decided to go to Dr. Sun for my annual ophthalmologist checkup, drawn in by the attractive-​looking optical shop attached to his office and its proximity to my apartment. But the office and examination area look nothing like the optical shop: the entire space was cluttered (e.g., books and magazines stacked 6+ deep completely covered the massive desk in the exam room). The smaller table which Dr. Sun used to write prescriptions was similarly cluttered, with a yellowing newspaper draped over family photos and nearly all free space obscured. The desk staff was unprofessional, bordering on rude. All of these things might have been ok if the actual exam hadn’t been so far from confidence-​inspiring: as someone who has worn glasses and contacts for nearly my entire life, I know what an ophthalmologist checkup should look like, and this wasn’t it. He didn’t even ask me to read the letters on the chart; he only asked whether they were blurry and whether the different lens configurations made it any better. He did this so quickly and haphazardly that I often didn’t have a chance to decide one way or the other. He never asked me whether I had any concerns or problems, and when at the end I tried to bring them up anyway, he said, «Oh, that’s nothing to worry about,» shuffled through some disorganized desk drawers, and finally handed me a sheet of paper listing symptoms I should be concerned about. He did, however, offer me the unsolicited opinion that I would not be a good candidate for LASIK. Perhaps his ophthalmology practice is exists primary to funnel people into his surgical practice?
