I had cataract surgery from Dr. Chua and it was very successful. Dr. Chua is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He listens to the patient's problem carefully and gives his best advice.

I had retinal detachment surgery done by another doctor in the past. More recently, I had cataract surgery at this clinic, and it was a complete success. Today, I came in for a follow-up visit, and Dr. Michael performed a laser procedure to remove the silicone oil left from my previous retinal surgery. The team here is highly professional and caring. Thanks to their excellent work, I can see clearly again. I’m truly grateful for their dedication and expertise.

Very pleased with the services provided. My eyesight was deteriorating due to cataracts. Now thru the professionalism of the Puente Eye Center my vision has been greatly enhanced and returned to normal. I would recommend them to anyone needing to have their eyes taken care of.
