Worth the drive over the bridge. Dr. Cheng is the best! Friendly, warm and knowledgeable. [She] makes me feel right at home and never [makes me] feel rushed. Same goes for the staff and Dr. Lui. Highly recommend [them].

Dr. Margaret Liu (surgeon) & Dr. Helena Cheng (optometrist) are quite a team. I have particularly good things to report about Dr. Liu, since she’s the one who actually restored the full sight to my under-achieving left eye. My cataract-impaired natural lens had to be removed and replaced with a plastic one. The startling vision improvement that resulted added a crisp new dimension to the whole world. Dr. Peggy was reassuring, empathetic, and most importantly, competent — a very important trait in an eye surgeon.
