Hi, both Dr. Cheng, who I saw the other day, and Dr. (name removed), who I will see, I think, next time in a couple of months, both very good doctors. They've always taken really good care of me and my vision issues. And yes, I have recommended both of them to other family members, including my wife, who also sees Dr. Cheng. She hasn't needed to see Dr. (name removed) yet. She's a little younger than me, but very, very happy with both of them. And also all of the staff, the staff there has always been very nice, very helpful, really know what they're doing. And so I have nothing but positive responses to say about it. So hope that that helps you.

July 02, 2025
I was extremely satisfied as now as in the past with Dr. Chester Cheng's service. I go pretty much out of network just to see him. I can't praise him enough. My only negative result was that he is so booked. I had to wait two and a half months just to see him. Otherwise, he deserves more than 100% credit for his profession. Intelligent, kind, receptive, wonderful. Cannot praise him enough. Again, I go out of network just to see him.
June 30, 2025
I've had the most wonderful experience with PIH healthcare for my eyes. Dr. (two names removed) have been wonderful. And the one same day surgery was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much. I'm ready for another surgery on my right eye. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Only wish that I would be called in sooner. Love staff and Doctor Cheng.
May 16, 2025
On the questionnaire that you need to fill out, I do not understand why I am questioned about my level of education and questioned about my sexual behavior. Neither of these questions have anything to do with getting eye care. Pls remove them. Thank you.

It does take a long time to make, to get an appointment because they're so fully booked. But I cannot say how nice and wonderful the eye doctors are taking care of you. Dr. (name removed) does very, very thorough examination, very kind and very, makes you understand what he's saying. I would highly recommend him anytime.
April 30, 2025
Dr. Cheng is very much a professional. He is very friendly. He explains everything in a language that you can understand completely using pictures, explanations, everything that you can think of so that you understand exactly what he's saying. I would definitely encourage anybody that needs eye care to go to him. The only problem was trying to get an appointment. It took me a couple months to get an appointment. I know that's not his fault, but just so you have the feedback.
April 28, 2025
Dr Cheng is very knowledgeable, professional and kind , I Thank you for having an eye doctor so well trained , I very much appreciate him and PiH. Thank you Dr Cheng & PIH
April 25, 2025
I would certainly recommend Dr. Cheng to my family members and he did an amazing job with my care.
April 23, 2025
This office is terrific, the doctors, and everybody in it is fantastic. I've seen several of them. All the support staff is great. Like every PIH facility, it's hard to get an appointment. That's the only thing I'd say is there's just not enough in the PIH system. It's not their fault. But system-wide, there's just not enough. And I can say that for just about every department. So the appointments are too far out. Thanks.
April 23, 2025
Excellent service
