July 01, 2026
Dr. C Cheng is very well mannered and trusted. He listened and answered questions very well
July 01, 2026
The scheduler when I first made the appointment said if they didn't have a time I needed I could find another eye doctor. I have seen Dr Cheng for over 10 years and I receive excellent care from him and he knows all my eye history. I had just had surgery and needed to see him about a new prescription from by strabismus surgery. I thought the scheduler was unkind and insensitive.
June 29, 2026
Chester Cheng is the best doctor I've ever seen and I'm a woman in my 70s and a man in his 70s at 75. We think he's awesome. We've been seeing him for a few years. He explains, he takes his time, he draws pictures. He's like one of the best eye doctors that I've ever had and my husband has ever had. Thank you.
June 29, 2026
Dr Cheng explain well the diagnosis, and what to do the right thing , he is the best dr for the eyes , excellent!
June 22, 2026
Your questions are rather slanted to force a positive reply. ..and then leave this box to state my words. I was given an antibiotic and I had a reaction after starting it. No response from my doctor. I stopped it upon returning to see him. Otherwise he was great.
June 17, 2026
Appointments are scheduled 2 to 3 months ahead. Too long to wait.
June 15, 2026

May 27, 2026
Dr. Cheng is very skilled, professional, compassionate and thorough. The staff is always kind and helpful too, and the optician is outstanding. Since coming here, I have a remarkable improvement in my overall eye health thanks to Dr. Cheng's recommendations to take proper care of my eyes, since I have a lot of screen time. He genuinely cares about his patients and makes sure that you understand everything, he doesn't rush you. I love this office!
May 20, 2026
Apparently the current building just added another business and with that I was not able to find a single parking spot when I arrived. Please designate spots on the property for the patients.
May 15, 2026
Very friendly, accommodating staff from check-in to finish. Appreciated that so much! Dr. Cheng was so very kind, helpful, took the time, explained, listened, answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. Was so appreciative and would definitely recommend!

May 13, 2026
Going to Dr Chester Cheng for my appointment is always a pleasurable experience. He is professional but also kind, caring and not only explains things but also shows me graphics to help me understand.

Dr. Cheng is an amazing doctor and I would certainly recommend him to anyone.
May 11, 2026

Polite and professional staff. Dr. Cheng is always very thorough and gives easy to understand explanations during the examination
April 20, 2026
Although I appreciate my provider, it does appear that the office books the schedule too tight because the last few times there has been a significant delay from my appointment time and when I'm seen (averaging a 40 minute wait time).
April 17, 2026
Dr Cheng is a caring doctor. Listens carefully to my needs. Is a great doctor!
April 15, 2026
Your building would need to be moved to a different place where the parking is much better and access to get to the facility is better, like the one in Santa Fe Springs on Bloomsville. Thank you.
April 15, 2026
This was the first time I saw the doctor. I usually have a different doctor. I got something in my eye and the staff was able to squeeze me in the same day to see the doctor. Dr. Cheng explained everything perfectly. He was the nicest kindest doctor I ever met! I usually see a different optometrist out of PIH but I'm definitely going to switch to him. I will recommend him to everybody I know. I hope he gets some sort of recognition because you can tell he is a kind, professional doctor. PIH definitely needs more of this type of doctor.
April 13, 2026
Dr. Cheng was, as always, thorough and polite. His "bedside" manner is pleasant. I enjoy our annual visits. I trust his skills.

Great doctor and very good staff. Thank you.
March 02, 2026
Office staff and other team members are very friendly and welcoming. Most importantly, the office was very clean. However, would be great if you could relocate in the same area or upgrade the building. It needs some love and upkeep. Any medical office should be within a well-maintained property.

Yes, hello there. My name is (PHI removed), and I would like to actually know that one actually con was about having the nursing, which I'm not sure what's the name of the nurse, when I actually was talking with the VCI, with the interpreter on the iPad, when that was done, and then the nurse went ahead and turned it off and took it away. I felt that was kind of like a con you guys had. Better, more courtesy. I felt more, I felt rushed.

It is difficult to make an appointment and they usually don't allow us to make an appointment for the next visit on sites if the time is more than 1 month ahead. Making a call to their office usually requires a long wait time. Other than this, everything else was good.
