Verified patient
He is terrific and very professional. Excellent communicator
Verified patient
Waiting room was packed. Was seen 45 minutes after arrival
Verified patient
He seemed like a nice enough guy who wanted to help, but he was not a good listener (he tends to interrupt to say "got it") and he was too high drama. He likes "serious" cases and he dislikes contact lenses, so his interests affect his service. He might be okay to see if you have something very serious wrong with your eyes because then the high drama could be appropriate. But even then, the blunt and dramatic bedside manner could be a problem. (That said, the elderly folks who were there seemed to like him, so maybe it works for some patients)
My visit was great. He provided with much needed information to understand my diagnosis better. I appreciate Doctors who take the time to explain. I will definitely recommend him
Verified patient
Dr. Chung is a consummate professional. He was very apologetic about the huge wait time. Wonderful sense of humor and quite thorough!
I had checked in online so all I did was pay my co-pay and they copied my insurance card and ID. In 10 minutes I was seen by a staff members checking my eyes. Later, Dr. Chung went over the results of my photo taken of my eyes and recommended changes to help with my diabetes. I was in and out in an hour. I'm a happy patient.
Verified patient
I was seeking an eye exam and a fitting for contact lenses but Mr. Chung does not provide those. He's a specialist. He personally walked me upstairs to an eye doctor's office that does provide those services, but unfortunately they did not accept my insurance.
Had to wait 55 minutes before they dilated my eyes. Then sat for another 40 minutes before I was seen. My appt was at 3, and I didnt leave the place until 5:20. I didn't imagine it would take NEARLY that long for a routine eye appt. The doctor and staff were very pleasant though. Dr. Chung talked very fast and moved fast, seeming like he wanted to rush me out- but it was probably just because they were backed up.
Verified patient
Dr. Chung and his staff were great.

Very knowledgeable doctor and no long waits.
Verified patient

Verified patient
The Doctor was very compassionate ,took time out to explain the treatment plan to my mum who deosnt speak so much english and she understood, he referred us to another doctor ,called to confirm if the doctor will take my mums insurance and at the end of the service he gave my kids chocolate !!
Verified patient
Great team, checked my vision, answered all my questions and got me happily out the door in no time. all in a very freindly and highly professional manner.
My visit was excellent, but making my appointment through ZocDoc was time consuming, and not easy. It took more than 2 phone calls, doctors office changed the appointment time and date, and I got appointment reminder on the wrong ( initial) date.
