During Covid Pandemic we needed to see a doctor because my eyes were very swollen. Dr. Ky called us back within 5 minutes on Sunday evening!) He did a virtual exam and prescribed meds to our pharmacy over the phone. Thank You Dr. Ky for your amazing care! All is well!

I have been Dr. Ky's patient for several years and now my entire family sees him. Dr. Ky has BOTH expertise and an excellent bedside manner. He did my laser surgery and I am extremely satisfied with the results - perfect vision, little down time. Thank you, Dr Ky!

Excellent experience with Dr. Ky. I brought my son to see Dr. Ky. Not so easy to find an available ophthalmologist with pediatric experience so readily. Courteous staff. Was able to make appointment same week. Clean office. Prompt friendly staff. Dr. Ky was very very thorough. He spoke to my son directly as the patient and put him at ease. He then took the time to clarify instructions with me. Very professional. 4 thumbs up.

I went to see Dr. Ky for an exam recently. He was very courteous and personable. He carefully explained to me why I would not need glasses at this time. I felt very reassured. His office staff was great as well and made me feel comfortable.

I first met with Dr. Ky several years ago for what I believed was a standard appointment prior to vision correcting surgery. However, Dr. Ky was able to quickly identify a serious issue with my retina, that had previously been undiagnosed by 2 physicians and required immediate attention. Dr. Ky is efficient and provides a personalized level of care to his patients that I believe are important when selecting a physician. He has always demonstrated the utmost professionalism and his skills as a physician are evident during every visit with him.

Dr. Ky takes the time to make sure my prescription is as good as can be every time. I'm really picky about my vision (not happy if it's not 20/20 vision) and he hangs in there to get it as close as possible for me. He's on time and courteous and makes sure my needs are addressed.

Dr. Ky is by far the best eye doctor I came across after spending over 6 months looking for the right doctor to perform my lasik surgery. I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for not only a quality doctor but someone with empicable bedside manners.
