Patient Reviews:

Dr. Doan is an excellent Doctor. Very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions that I had. (Vitals.com)

 He show great concerns for my condition. If I have questions, he's always ready to give an answer. If I have problems with my medication I can call him anytime during the week between my visits. I feel he's highly professional in his profession. (Vitals.com)

 I was extremely impressed with Dr. Andrew Doan. From the minute I walked into his office I really felt comfortable and that he was going to take very good care of me. He is truely a professional in his God given talents. He made sure that I understood all that was going to happen during surgery, and he reassured me that I had nothing to worry about. The staff that he has working with him were kind, caring and extremely professional in treating me. They made me feel like I was somebody and not just a number to them. Dr. Doan is my HEROE!!! (Vitals.com)

 To start with when i first meet Dr. Doan, i was not expecting a young well-accomplished doctor. He's very professional, very neat-looking doctor. He really takes reasonable amount of time to answer my question(s). He even took time to write on/fill-out the paperwork(s)i needed to be eligible to take my RN Board exam with an additional 3 more hours( and he filled-out the form with he's own handwriting- 2 pages long too!)It is nice to have a doctor that treats their pts. as if the're all #1. (Vitals.com)

 It was obvious that he was very busy, but he made me feel like I was his only patient, and I left his office feeling like my problems were in good hands. He was caring, but very professional. (Vitals.com)

 Dr. Doan is the absolute number one ophthalmic surgeon, and his professionalism is caring. His attention to detail is to be commended. I would recommend Dr. Doan to my family, my friends, and my associates. He is the very, very best. I wish it be possible that we would be fortunate enough to have 100 more just like him.
