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. Christopher Teng is Amazing
Dr. Christopher Teng continues to take excellent care of me. My first appointment with Dr. Teng was in December, 2019. I was immediately impressed with his knowledge, skill, and explanations. Each and every staff member was caring and efficient performing necessary testing. Dr. Teng has done cataract surgeries on both eye with amazing results. I highly recommend Dr. Teng.

Dr. Teng's knowledge, surgical skills and progressive, positive attitude have greatly improved my self confidence by restoring my failing vision (now ~20/20), reducing the dangerously high IOP to very acceptable numbers and insuring that I'm continuing on the right path through occasional check ups.

I underwent cataract surgery in both eyes with Dr. Teng in 2017/2018 with superb results. The restoration of my vision has allowed me to reclaim many lost activities. Before, during, and after these surgeries, Dr. Teng was caring and communicative—and made me feel extremely very confident about the procedures and the healing process. Both my eyes developed the common scar tissue from the surgery, which Dr. Teng recently removed using laser surgery in his office. Here again, his very positive and caring attitude was very much appreciated—and his professionality and surgical skills were clearly apparent.

I had to book a while in advance to get an appointment but it was worth the wait. Pleasant experience overall. The entire staff was welcoming from beginning to end and I was quite satisfied with the care and attention I was given. Even after when I had a question about surgery, a physician contacted me that same day and took time to answer all my questions. Will be referring my friends and family to Dr. Teng for the excellent care.

He does not take my concerns seriously. His explanation is abrupt. His after visit summary is useless. If I need to know more about my conditions, I need to call and talk to a nurse or his fellow doctor because he is not good over the phone, either. Very frustrated.
