He did a great job saving my husband's sight as much as possible.  We had another doctor that left us in the learch, and he lost a lot of his sight.  Dr. Tsai was able to do treatment thanks to a coworker referring us, that brought back a little, and has been able to maintain what he had.  We were just back in the office for the other eye.  He was able to put us at ease.  So appreciative
