Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Chong is one of the kindest, nicest and intel

I am writing this because i feel i have an obligation to inform anyone who is considering to use Dr. Chong. Dr. Chong nealry blinded me, he did RD surgery on me where he did over aggressive lasering that has left me partially sighted in that eye. For reasons he has never explained, he aggressively lasered the detached portion of my retina. Other doctors who have seen me since are baffled by his actions. During an RD surgery a gas bubble is inserted into the eye to push the retina back into place. Dr. Chong, inserted the bubble that pushed my retina back then he lasered the detachment, in addition to the tear resulting in a large permanent blind spot. When i asked him, why i had this he said he didnt know! I went to another specialists who told me what he did and what he shouldve done. I hope anyone reading this recognizes that not all specialists are created equal, and in circumstances like these surgical success is determined on the careful choices a doctor makes.
