How likely are you to recommend Dr. Ta?
I started having eye issues 2 years ago and my ophthalmologist recommended Dr. Kathy Ta for a deeper look into my eyes. (First note, I saw a Neurologist/Ophthalmologist who thought my eyes were just a vertigo issue. He was incorrect in his assumption without doing any testing.) Dr. Ta did extensive testing and with dye saw that my eyes were leaking along the eye vein wall and classified me as having "Intermediate Uveitis Vitreous." This was very serious and she immediately started me on steroids to allay the condition. She also contacted a Neurologist and Rheumatologist, to do further testing and additional medication, believing it to be an auto-immune condition. She calms my concerns over possibly loosing my eyesight and stays up-to-date with the latest prescriptions and procedures. Because she is that good and she shows concern for all her patients, be prepared to wait a little. For me, she is worth the time. Great doctor!
