Philosophy:
Dr. Lawrence C. Chao M.D. is an Orange County cataract, LASIK, and corneal refractive eye physician and surgeon. By placing the welfare of patients first and foremost, Dr. Chao is considered a doctor whom doctors would choose for themselves or their loved ones.
Entrusted to care for the eyes of many of Orange County's doctors, professionals, and their families, Dr. Chao personally has performed over ten thousand cataract, LASIK and corneal refractive procedures.
When Best Doctors of America asked doctors questions like, "If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, to whom would you refer them?" his peers elected Dr. Chao.
More than just performing eye surgeries, Dr. Chao is hands-on with all aspects of patient care from consults to postoperative care at his practice and office-based procedure center in Irvine, CA to ensure the best possible clinical and surgical result.
