Dr. Chung has been great from the very first moment I met him. He has always been attentive, caring and he makes you feel that you are more than just another patient on his calendar. I've trusted him with my eyes for years now and will continue to do so for as long as he is in practice.

Dr. Chung is always upbeat, reassuring, and I never leave with questions. He is very current with his treatment plans. When I had my cataract surgery, he guided me through the recovery and gave me my lens options. I chose the standard lenses and, even though he said I would need reading glasses, I am glasses free. I no longer have issues driving at night. Very pleased.

Dr Chung always gives me time to ask questions and then answers them all for me. I never feel rushed. He is excellent at what he does and I know I am in good hands. Always appreciate his expertise.

Dr. Chung is a great doctor and the office staffs are all very friendly and professional. My mother has been searching for a good ophthalmologist for quiet a while and finally found the one she could trust and stick to. I highly recommend him. Only caveat is that it is very hard to make a new patient appointment because he is in such demand. We had to wait 6 months for the first appointment, but the wait was worth it though.

Outstandingly patient, knowledgeable, and kind. This doctor is worth the long lead-time for scheduling appointments because many others obviously recognize him for his excellent professionalism and talents. The staff is wonderful, as well. So glad to have found this practice.

Without a doubt, Dr. Chung is THE BEST opthamologist around! I had an emergency and Heather managed to fit me in on a Friday when they were all booked up. Dr. Chung quickly assessed my situation and I am happy to report I am on the mend. Great Doctor!
