Dr. Ong is probably the best doctor I have ever seen. She cares and really knows what she is doing. She never hurries you through and follows up. She make it seem like you are her only patient. I trust that she will always do the best for me to resolve my issues.

She was an excellent physician. I had a very positive experience with her, and I have recommended family members to go see her. She truly cares!

Unlike most doctors that care more about turn around and how many patients they can see a day, Dr. Ong allayed all my concerns about my optical condition, and explained all the different paths that I could take with my treatments and what to expect. It's refreshing for a change to be treated like a human being for once in a Doctor's office. I highly recommend Dr. Ong for anyone looking for an Ophthalmologist worth her salt.
