Dr. Gong has dramatically improved the quality of my life.

I suffer from many eye diseases and afflictions, have gone through many surgeries, completely lost my vision in my 30s, all which ultimately culminated in cornea transplants.  These transplants are latch-ditch efforts by surgeons to provide a hope of improved quality-of-life.  There are two parts to the recovery of any vision-based quality-of-life from this: the skill of the surgeon and the subsequent skill of the optometrist who’s is in charge of your constantly changing after-care.  If any vision is recovered at all, it is spotty, prescription-changing every few months and usually low-vision, at best.

Dr. Gong has been my extraordinary after-care specialist.  For over 15 years, Dr. Gong has kindly and patiently steered to the optimal prescription for my vision while I give her differing answers to the same question, “Which is better……A or B” over and over.  She zeros in the optimal no matter how many times I give her mismatching answers to her same proposal of which is A/B options is better, and asks me more detailed questions about what I’m seeing in order to give me the best possible outcome.  My appointments take much longer than the allotted time, and she patiently works through them anyway.  Dr. Gong has been able to give me clarity of vision, even when all the specialists at Northwestern Hospital in Chicago could not.  As a result, when I lived in Chicago for 8 years, I would fly to Arizona to see Dr. Gong because she could improve my vision over even those world-renowned doctors.  In short, there is no better specialist in the world than Dr. Aleta Gong.

If this weren’t enough, she is always tender-hearted, patient and kind, even through very stressful situations.  She adores children, and even with her vast and specialized markets of sports vision and vision therapy, she still continues to love and nurture her white-glove approach to pediatric eye-care.

I trust my health, happiness and best vision-based quality-of-life opportunities to Dr. Gong.  She has been solving for my vision issues with her white-glove approach, for 15 years, and she will do the same for you.  And like me, you won’t look at Dr. Gong just as a doctor, you will know that her care for you is worthy of calling her friend.

I absolutely love the new glasses that I just received today! My vision is so clear – I love everything about them! Since you treated my dry eyes, I no longer have blur when I wake up or stabbing pain like glass shards in my eyes. Thank you, Dr. Gong!

Thank you to Dr Gong and your wonderful staff for the great care! My dry eyes feel one thousand times better already! Every day my eyes feel so much better since your treatment. I am also happy you found me a great pharmacy who gave me a lower price for my medications. I am just so thankful to you!

I would like everyone to know how much Syntonics, or colored light therapy, has changed my life for the better. This therapy has relieved my eye strain and has prevented headaches that come with it. I am so happy and thrilled at how quickly I have improved! I am so thankful for my vision therapy program with Dr. Gong and her staff.

A BIG thank you to Dr. Gong! She is the ONLY doctor (out of a total of 14!) that was able to cure me of the severe eye pain, headaches, and migraines I’ve had every day since September of 2016.

In September of 2016, I had cataract and two cornea surgeries on my right eye (I am legally blind in my left eye, so having the best vision I can get is critical). A shunt was also placed in my right eye. Since that time, I have had severe pain over my right eye. Dr. Gong recommended the BlephEx procedure, which was completely painless. After the procedure, the pain was gone!

Dr. Gong has given me back my life, free of pain! I will always be grateful for Dr. Gong. She was the only optometrist to truly show concern and compassion to me, and I will always truly be thankful for her and her wonderful staff!
I would also like to thank my corneal specialist, Dr. Gross, for referring me to Dr. Gong for a contact lens evaluation. I can now wear a contact for a whole day, whereas before if was just a few hours! I am just so happy!
