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.

Dr Chung has a wonderful bedside manner. He listens to you and is very thorough with his examinations. He is caring And his medical expertise is the best.

Highly Recommend
Dr. Chung was honest he hadn't seen anyone with my exposure to the toxic Euphorbia plant but he had done enough research before seeing me to understand my situation and thoroughly checked me out. He asked questions and explained the condition of my eye and care. I felt confident my eye was going to be ok following his instructions. I was in so much pain and I appreciated he understood this even though my appearance showed otherwise. He had done his research. I highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Dr. Chung and his surgical team to family and friends. He was caring and patient, clearly outlined my options and the procedures involved. I never felt rushed while asking questions. He is knowledgeable and highly skilled. I have recently had my second eye done with correction for astigmatism and a multifocal lens. I had no pain and an easy post op. I am very happy not to have many eyeglasses to haul around.

Although I was not happy that I needed cataract surgery before age 60, I am thrilled with the results! I had laser procedure at the same time for astigmatism. I’ve worn glasses or contact lenses for most of my life, so it’s amazing to see with such clarity and sharpness! I only need dime store glasses for reading. Dr. Chung and staff helped with my anxiety about the surgery and took good care of me.

I highly recommend Dr. Chung and his team at the Evergreen Eye Centers. Very gently, Dr. Chung resected my cataracts using the finest laser technology and implanted IOLs of the highest quality that he had recommended to best suit my personal values. With complete independence of glasses, I now enjoy superior vision and feel like my life starts anew. Dr. Chung does not only prove exceptional medical as well as surgical skills and knowledge, but has also most pleasant personal manners.

Dr. Chung and the Staff at Evergreen Eye Center are all very personable. Dr. Chung and his medical team thoroughly explained each procedure in advance. By using the latest techniques and equipment the surgery was accomplished with minimal discomfort (pain free) and resulted in quick recovery. Appointments were all on time. I would readily recommend Dr. Chung to my family and friends.

Dr. Chung is incredible efficient, very skillled, and always takes the time to listen to you. He's a pleasure to work with and I recommend him wholeheartedly. I've received care at Evergreen since 2001. There's never been a complication, schedule mix up or a staff member was anything but professional. With my cataracts, Dr. Chung did though examin, discussed the various procedures and what I could expect. When I asked he replied he's done several thousand of this procedure. Totally professiona

Dr Gary Chung blessed me with the wonderful gift of perfect vision.He did cataract lens replacement surgery but not because of cataracts but because of extremely poor vision.Implanting the Symfony IOL multifocal lens he was also able to correct my astigmatism.With his profound skill and uncompromising perfection I can clearly see and identify a bird in the neighbors tree or read the fine print under the icons on my phone.All colors are bright and I have true and dependable depth perception

Dr. Chung has done cornel transplant surgery on both of my eyes. This is not an easy surgery for the doctor or the patient, so having all the information about procedure and having confidence in the doctor is very important. My condition was very serious, and if the sugary was not successful I was facing very poor vision for the rest of my life, and possibly not being to drive. Bothe surgeries went extremely well. I believe my success is directly due Dr. Chung and his great skills, THANKS!!

Dr. Chung is extremely competent, capable and sympathetic. He did bladeless cataract surgery and the results were great. If I needed serious eye surgery, he would be on my short list!
