Testimonials
James B.
Dr. Hong is amazing. He is a very friendly doctor. He performed cataract surgery on my eyes and I could not be happier. Procedures went flawlessly. I would recommend this doctor without hesitation. By the way, the staff at the eye center and at Melville Surgery Center are top-notch. Thank you all for a great experience.
Alex Schneller
The staff was very friendly and the entire process was much easier than at other places. I feel like eye exams and getting glasses are just trying to scam me but these people really upfront with my options and showed me stuff I could actually afford when it came to my glasses. Would definitely recommend it.

I always find the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Waiting time is minimal. The doctors explain everything and take the time to answer questions, I never feel rushed. I have been going here for over 10 years and highly recommend Dr. Persak and his full staff of doctors.
