Dr Chung is very nice & efficient. I enjoyed my visit with him.
Dr. Chung was great! Patient and explained everything.
The doctors and staff are professional, but the office lacks transparency regarding vision insurance. Extremely misleading booking process. The platform explicitly stated this provider was IN-NETWORK, and during booking, it only prompted for my health insurance without clarifying that they are actually OUT-OF-NETWORK for VSP vision insurance. This lack of transparency and conflicting information resulted in unexpected out-of-pocket costs at checkout. Please double-check your vision benefits directly with VSP before booking, as the platform's 'in-network' status and the office's intake process are not accurate for vision coverage
I had a great experience here! The visit was very straight to the point and staff were friendly and professional. I will definitely be visiting here for any future eye exam!
