Dr. Kang is an experienced optometrist who provides comprehensive eye care with emphasis on ocular disease, low vision, and co-management with ophthalmology subspecialists. Prior to joining the faculty, she was in private practice at the Virginia Eye Institute, a multi-specialty ophthalmology and optometry practice located in the Richmond Metropolitan Area. She enjoys seeing a wide range of patients, from school-aged children to seniors.

She then completed her optometry training at the New England College of Optometry, after which she completed an optometry residency in primary care and low vision therapy at Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center. She later became a fellow of the American Academy of Optometry. While with the Virginia Eye Institute, she became adept at co-managing patients with ophthalmologists and primary care physicians. Her personal goal is to treat every patient as if they were a family member. Services routinely performed by Dr. Kang include:

URochester Medicine partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

The appt felt rushed and it almost seemed as if she had not looked at my chart and history. I left feeling very unsatisfied. I made an appt for next year, but I would like to change to a different provider.

Dr. Min was exceptionally good at figuring out what the issue was and recommending appropriate steps. She went above and beyond in my opinion.

The visit was hurried, and I had to ask questions when I wasn't given information my former care provider routinely gave me. I am considering requesting another provider for my annual evaluation.

Dr Kang didn't go over anything. I had to ask if I should stop taking the steroid drops and she said why are you taking steroids? I said for my eye. She checked my chart and said that it says to stop after a week so it was okay to stop. Indint think she knew why I was there.

During annual eye check up, OD dismissed and misrepresented in follow up visit notes the results of prior complete eye examination performed by another doctor (the visit had occurred only one month earlier and was performed in another country, the doctor who performed the visit had me as a patient since I was a child). The OD undercorrected my vision issue (relative to prior prescriptions including the one I had received from my other doctor a month prior) without providing a reasonable explanation, reported in notes that I had received a diagnostic test with "unremarkable findings" whereas I had never received that specific test and asked to do the test based on the recommendation of my other doctor (inaccurate records of our conversation), offered to send a referral for a neurologist to address my concern when in fact she did not do so based on the information she entered in myChart. Very puzzling behavior overall.

No bedside manner. Never asked about our issue just proceeded to examine. Will never go back to Dr Kang.

It seemed as if the doctor had done this exam one too many times. It was rote to her. She was blunt and although she tried to portray some kindness and concern by asking if there were any questions, it all seemed artificial.
