Our Team & Technology

To us, bringing you clear vision isn’t enough: you should have a comfortable experience whenever you’re with us, too, and that’s what our technicians help provide. At the start of your appointment, you’ll be assigned a technician to focus on you. They stay with you throughout your entire visit, listening to your needs and concerns and relaying them to our other staff so that everyone involved in your eye care is always on the same page. 

 Our eye doctors use advanced diagnostic technology to provide accurate scans and images of your eye, enabling us to diagnose any potential issues as early as possible. And to further aid them, our doctors have scribes on hand so they can focus on the smallest details and spend their time listening to you, not entering information into a computer.

Dr. Ng was very thorough and efficient, informed me about my eyes very patiently. Tech Aricella was very professional also, helped me out with choosing the right eyeglasses that I need. The quality of eyeglasses, the frame and the lenses, I’ve been to other shops but theirs is the best in town for me. All the staff at the front desk, they acknowledged the customers right away with beautiful smiles. Overall, not only friendly but also very professional. I would recommend to everybody.
