Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Long wait and gives an attitude
The doctor office is a mess. It is crowded and chaotic with absolutely no order. Once inside with the doctor, Dr. Ko approached me with an aggressive demeanor. No doctor should treat their patients in a hostile atmosphere.

Worth the wait- excellent results - Flushing Offic
There are approximately 6 doctors on staff- all are wonderful. I needed Cataract removal in both eyes. I went there to have Dr. Ko do the surgery because of his excellent reputation for great outcomes. The whole Team of Doctors at this Practice in Flushing are careful, caring and thorough. To see Dr Ko (only at this office once a week) there is a long wait, HOWEVER, it is well worth it. He carefully describes your options and is careful to present the cons as well as the pro's of each type of removal. Next visit- Dr. Hong will go over your choices again with further details if you have questions or need more information. I had Laser on both eyes, my insurance didn't cover this, his price is very much in line with other doctors practices. Dr. Ko and Dr. Hong both do different parts of the surgery and both are EXCELLENT. They are in high demand and that is the reason for the wait. I highly recommend them. The results for both surgeries in my case were excellent -fast healing.

Pretty good. Only thing is that there are "other" drs. now in the office and sometimes the staff will try to shift you to them. If I want another Dr., then that should be my choice.

I've been a long time patient of Dr. Ko, who worked hard to save my vision. During the years he treated me, I wasn't just put on meds, he actively sought to find out what was going on in my eyes. As of 2014, the illness finally went into remission and has remained that way. In June 2015, the illness in my lungs went into remission,, as well. I tam grateful Dr. Ko was there each step of the way, and that I can still see.
