Of all the in-depth exams I’ve had in my life. This has definitely got to be the most intense. Dr. Tong was very thorough and not rushed in her examination. She is direct, assertive and efficient. Her credentials are very evident. I would recommend Dr. Tong any day. And I look forward to my return next year. I left her clinic with full confidence and the examination of my eyes.

Excellent communication—very knowledgeable and yet humble. Very through—Dr Tong was the only ophthalmologist that noticed a small pocket in eye that was collecting eyelashes and causing irritation. I have chosen her to do my cataract surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Amy Tong for your eye needs.
