Patient feedback and reviews

    I was frankly terrified of having a cataract op, no one likes to have their eyes touched, but there was nothing to fear. Dr Dong performed a perfect operation, completely pain free, and over in a very short time. I was completely relaxed, all my fears were without foundation. I highly recommend!
