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.

Doctor Jeannie Paik an excellent Ophthalmologist
I recently had cataract surgery with Doctor Jeanie Paik. She is an excellent Ophthalmologist and my surgery with her went great. The cataract removal was fast and painless and my new lens is perfect (I now have 20 20 vision in both eyes). She is a very caring doctor and her eye examinations are very thorough. And the other patient assistants in their office are also extremely knowledgeable and caring. It was a great experience!!I highly recommend Doctor Paik and Spectrum Eye Physicians office staff.From Terry Kreifels

Fabulous cataract surgery
She gave me a range of options to choose from and didn't push my in any particular direction. The surgery went just as she described and because I upgraded to a better lens, I had a better outcome in my opinion. I can see distance and I can see to read. I only need reading glasses for small text. I already recommended two people to her.

Life Changing Event
I was very fortunate to be referred to Dr. Paik for cataract surgery. I'm 76 yrs and was nervous & apprehensive. I was called back to a treating room by one of the staff. To my surprise what I thought was a staff member was actually Dr. Paik. Dr. Paik mannerisms put me right at ease. She is a down to earth personality yet very professional. She explained the procedure thoroughly. I had a choice of lens, and the Dr. explained the negative and positives of each lens. I was able to make an informed decision with her guidance. I had surgery on both eyes (one at a time different dates). Before and after the surgery Dr. Paik was next to me to be sure her expertise was followed. With both surgery's Dr. Paik had follow up the next day. I told Dr. Paik that the surgery she performed changed my life. It was like someone turned the lights on. I could see bright and clear. Thank you, Dr. Jeanie Paik. The rest life has been enriched because of you.

For once I can see forever!
Dr. Paik performed cataract laser surgery on both my eyes. Surgery on the right eye was first, then one month later the left eye. My recovery was quick and painless and for the first time in my life I can actually see without glasses, I couldn't be more pleased and happy with the outcome. I would recommend cataract laser surgery, provided you have an excellent surgeon. Dr. Paik is such a surgeon, she is outstanding and highly recommended. Thank you Dr Paik!

Dr. Paik is outstanding . I learned I had cataracts in both eyes during a vision exam. I was referred to Dr. Paik. She demonstrated a strong expertise. She took the time to talk through with me what would be needed and a current timeline as well as needs in the future. She identified another serious problem with my eyes and walked me through the issue. There was no current action needed, but she outline what would be needed to resolve in the future. She explained everything very clearly and demonstrated empathy. She did do the cataract surgery on one of my eyes, the other will be done in the future. It went better than planned and I have great vision with the eye. I highly recommend Dr. Paik for anyone dealing with cataracts or cornea issues.

I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Paik is! We went to her after months of seeing eye Doctors that were unable to treat my son's condition. My son was diagnosed with VKC by Dr. Paik and she did such an amazing job with him. At 8 years old this was a very scary situation as he was in a very bad place with his eye. Dr. Paik was nothing short of amazing through the 8 month journey. For many months we were in the office 3-4 days a week and she always made a way to get us in and make sure he was ok. Dr. Paik made my son feel so comfortable with his condition even at his worst. We are at much better place and I thank Dr. Paik! I highly recommend her! She is the simply the best!

Dr. Paik is a competent and skilled professional. I have worn glasses for over 60 years and this is the first time I have a had a doctor that explained to me the condition of my eyes. Dr. Paik fielded all my questions very patiently. My cataract surgery was life changing. I can now see without glasses for the first time in my life. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. As a matter of fact, I have referred my wife as a patient.
