Khanh V. Le, OD

I will forever be grateful for Dr. Le. About a year and a half ago, I went in for a routine eye exam but I had no idea I would leave with far more valuable information about my health. Dr. Le was friendly from the beginning and he showed genuine interest for my wellbeing. He made me feel comfortable which allowed me to ask all the questions I had. We then went on to talking about other symptoms I've been having. I had been having insane headaches for years which were always attributed to stress by my PCP. Dr. Le proceeded to take pictures to see the back of my head and these showed that my optic nerves were swollen. They didn't look like the common eye diseases and he went on to explain what it could possibly be. Considering my other symptoms he gave his best recommendation which was to seek an ophthalmologist through my PCP to rule out papilledema and/or other diseases. This sent me into a journey of research, medical tests, and diagnosis of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. My life has completely changed as I've understood my diagnosis better and what I had been experiencing for years. I've changed my lifestyle to reflect a more healthy and active lifestyle. I've lost almost 90lbs and I feel stronger than ever. My diagnosis has no cure and every day is different and has its struggles but I am so so thankful that Dr. Le took the time and I can see how passionate he is about his career. If I could give 100 stars, I would!
