Hands down one of the best Doctor I've visited as many others have mentioned. I only wish I found Dr. Dong earlier I would be visiting his practice a lot more often. I bought a pair of glasses online and needed some adjustments, not only they were able to see me on the same day I didn't even need to make an appointment nor be a current patient. When I arrived I was promptly greeted and Dr. Dong saw me pretty much right away. They were both very friendly and professional and the adjustment took only maybe 5-10 minutes. I was quite happy with my visit and glad they are part of our insurance plan. The entrance is a little hard to find since 80-02 building is a large office building but the front desk would be able to help if you need help locating. Its basically on the right side entrance coming from the subway, and down the stairs with the doors on the left. read more

See all

I have been seeing Dr. Dong for over 3 years now (recommended by a close friend) and have always had a pleasant experience and thorough exam. He is punctual with appointments and takes the time to explain the process as well as answer any questions thoroughly. Everyone in the office is friendly and attentive. My glasses/prescription come out great and feel comfortable. The location is convenient and right by the Kew Gardens train station and weekend hours make appointments accessible. read more

TL/DR: Dr. Dong and Alice runs a caring mom and pop eye shop that wants to make sure you get exactly what you need without having to overspend on eyeglasses. I recently visited for an eye exam and new glasses. Dr. Dong's office is this this unassuming little space on the ground floor corner of a business complex that is directly above the Union Turnpike/Kew Gardens train station. The front entrance is a small waiting area, to the left are frame displays, and to the back are the exam rooms. Walked in, checked in, and got down to business. The exam took about an hour as we went through all the tests. Dr. Dong was patient and thorough, and explained everything in detail. He definitely gives off caring parent vibes, which, is pretty refreshing as many other places I've been to just sort of go through the motions. After coming up with a prescription, and helping me run down the prices, Alice helped me choose a pair of frames that were discounted through my insurance. Two weeks later, I received my new glasses, and I can finally see again! Great place! read more

Have come here twice now and plan to return as long as Dr. Dong is practicing or until/if I move away from Queens. Excellent doctor - very clear and concise. Happy to answer any questions. I asked him about LASIK and gave me his honest opinion and let me know about the recent FDA study from about a year ago. The office is at the end of the hallway past the door for 24 hr fitness and the apartment lobby. Got a lil lost the first time I was looking for it. read more

Doctor Dong is a most reliable, patient and kind doctor. He definitely explains well, and always has a course of action planned for any situation I've brought myself or my children or my mother in. My sister and her daughter switched from whoever she was seeing, to Doctor Dong after I've raved about him and she agrees he is the best. Alice runs a tight ship at the reception desk. She is friendly, kind, and communicates efficiently. I am so thankful to both for their years of amazing service and care. I wouldn't go anywhere else for eye care, and I only wish other doctors were as great as Doctor Dong. read more

I had an appointment today to see Dr Dong for prescription contact lenses. I have to say he is super. He takes his time to explain everything you will expect when wearing contacts & try to work a deal with you. He is very upfront so you don't get any surprises later. I would recommended him 100% & guarantee you wouldn't regret it .. Thank you Dr Dong. read more

Just like the other reviewers, I totally concur.. Dr. Dong is by far the BEST, SUPER and MOST professional optometrist I've been to. He is very patient and will take his time to explain everything to you. He also has a good selection of glasses there The downside is that parking around the area is very difficult.. read more

Dr. Stephen Dong is one of best doctors we have in NY. He was always professional and took the time to answer any questions I had regarding the test results or various options. His honesty is much appreciated in an era where doctors are more interested in pushing wares to generate additional profit. For the last five years I've been to his office, he has always told me straight up that I do not need glasses or contacts nor did he try to sell the glasses he stocks in contrast to some of the other eye doctors I visited over the years. If you're in Queens or can garner a weekend appointment, I highly recommend Dr. Dong's office. The office is located directly above the exit for the Union Turnpike stop for the E or F Train. read more

I came here for an eye exam and Dr. Dong was very thorough with the exam. He tested both my eyes & the pressure in my eyes as well. I waited about two weeks for my eye glasses. They have a wide variety of frames to choose from! And Dr. Dongs assistant is more than helpful with helping you choose a pair that fits the frame of your face. I'm really happy with my eyeglasses! I came in to pick them up today & they felt really natural walking with them on. I really recommend Dr. Dong because he's really good at his work & his office is so close to the train station at Key Gardens. The staff is friendly, patient & helpful with everything! read more

Dr. Dong and Alice are the best! I have been coming here for years and couldn't be more pleased. Stellar service and great bedside manners! read more

First time being here, found Dr.Dong on my vsp provider site and also because he's closes to where I live. He takes his time with you and a very thorough guy with his explanations; answers any questions I had patiently and suggest the best options to me for my contacts as well as explaining price points for different contacts. Front desk was also very welcoming and will get you set up really fast. I will definitely recommend him to my family and friends! He's better than all the optometrist I've seen. read more

My wife and I were greeted by a polite, soft spoken, but highly professional woman who took all my information. She then gave me an initial eye exam which was thorough and proficient. After a few minutes, I met Dr. Dong who asked me a few questions and then went right to work pinpointing my eyes issues. You could tell he was experienced and enjoyed what he was doing, this put me at ease realizing the reviews I had read about the Dr. were indeed true. He was very detailed, and I never felt rushed or that I was just another patient. After, I picked my frames, (Big Selection) he then did few more tests with the frames. After the complete exam he clearly went over the costs. Super satisfied with the service!! read more

I love Dr. Dong. A friend recommended him to me because he was so attentive to her needs. I couldn't agree more. He is so attentive and will work with you until you are 100% satisfied. I've been going to him for years and still do after moving to Manhattan. He's worth the trip. read more

Went to Dr.Dong a few times and he is so kind and he explains everything slow and clear, his staff is amazing and kind, also he is good with prices.....Would recommend him any day! :) read more

He's as good as any I've ever used. One problem which is very inconvenient and annoying: his voice mail is ALWAYS, ALWAYS filled so that it is IMPOSSIBLE to leave a message. He should post an email address so patients can reach him and leave messages as necessary. read more

I've never written a Yelp review before but Dr. Dong is so amazing, I felt compelled to do so. He is by far the most patient, thorough, professional, and overall amazing doctor I have ever been to. He really takes his time with you and explains everything clearly. He is very attentive and really prioritizes his patients' needs. Visits to his office are always pleasant because Dr. Dong and Dr. Jung are just so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Dong's office to anyone who needs a reliable optometrist. He's truly the best and I won't be able to go to another optometrist ever again. read more

Very thorough, knowledgeable, overall a class act. He explains everything. Expect though to be there at least an hour.

Dr Dong is one of the most knowledgeable doctors out there. He explains everything to you and answers all your questions. If u want a doctor to tell you like it is please give him a try. You wont regret it. read more

Dr. Dong is the best eye doctor in town. He has been my eye doc for over four years now and he is very patient and great to speak to. He listens (even to my weird eye issues) and helps me with them. He is very thorough and I have always received great service there! read more
