Dr. Wong, Maria, and team were excellent, service-oriented, explained all the procedures simply and clearly, and was very helpful for my routine retinal exam. Highly recommended!

Dr. Wong is an excellent surgeon and a wonderful human being. She explains everything thoroughly and is very patient and empathetic. I'm blessed to have met her and recommend her to anyone in need of a retina specialist. Thank you Dr. Wong for everything!!!!

Dr. Wong is wonderful. She is patient-focused, clearly explains medical issues and options (for me, a detached retina repaired with a buckle), and patiently responded to every one of my questions and concerns. I was introduced to Dr. Wong when my detached retina needed urgent attention, and I am so thankful I was referred to her for this surgery. One month after the procedure my eye is feeling so much better. My vision field is again complete (no more shadow) and images are clear. I am near sighted and therefore more likely to have a detached retina in my other eye, so I look forward to going back to Dr. Wong for a preventative laser treatment in the next few months.
