Dr. Kong came recommended by some friends and they surely did not disappoint. He is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and clarity. He made sure I understood every part of the exam and never made me feel rushed. I came in for dry eyes, annual and update for contact prescription. He was calm and friendly and immediately put my concerns at ease, and it’s very clear that he truly cares about his patients’ well-being.
I highly recommend Dr. Kong and will be brining my mom and I for all our future appointments. Grateful to have found such a great provider.

Dr. Kong is meticulous, I feel as though he was thorough in his examination and he went above and beyond to make sure that I left feeling comfortable with the glasses that he prescribed. This was very comforting for me as someone who has never worn glasses before. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Kong for any eye concerns.

Dr. Kong is a phenomenal physician. I came in for a simple prescription, and he was able to determine that something more was going on. I had a retinal detachment that I had no idea about. He actually saved my sight. He referred me to a top notch specialist that corrected the detachment. Dr. Kong gts 10 out of 10 from me!

The optical assisant was nice. She listened to my concerns and reason for my visit. She explained everything that would happen during my visit. After a intake procedures, I was directed to Dr Kong.
Dr Kong was friendly. I explained that I did it want to use my old eyeglasses. He asked me all my concerns. He explained everything that he would do during the visit. The conversation was real and authentic. I explained that I wanted a thorough eye exam. He asked my family eye history. Every step was explained before and as it occured.
