    We are so glad that we found this clinic for my parent’s eye exams! Dr. Ngai is very patient, very nice, easy to talk to, explains things at a level where my parents can understand .He just did my dad’s cataract surgery and my dad is a very happy satisfied patient ❤️ Also , shout out to Erick, who always make it a point that my parents are comfortable and very respectful and encourages them to ask questions and answers them nicely Shout out to Krystina who helps us with the check in. She’s always nice to talk to, changes appointment if it’s possible, very accommodating. Shout out to Angie who helps with appointments and other stuff. Always with a smiling face and ready to help attitude. How I wish all clinics have this group of people to assist patients. They make a patient feel better from check in to the end! Stay safe!

    Dr Philip Ngai is very professional, friendly and offers quick and efficient appointments. I had cataract surgery in December and I was very comfortable, and no pain. I was nearly blind before and now I'm 20/20 after surgery and am so happy!! The office and surgery staff is wonderful! The surgery time was fast, as was the recovery, and I couldn't be more pleased. I would highly recommend Dr. Ngai and his staff and will tell all my friend about him.

    From start to finish, the staff was informative, helpful and extremely friendly. I came to Dr. Ngai’s office to get a new prescription for my glasses and contacts. I told Dr. Linh Ho about my issues with my previous prescription from another doctor. She was very thorough and answered all my questions completely. She gave me her suggestions on what magnification strengths I should use and gave me some trial contact lenses. After getting my prescriptions filled, all of my previous issues were resolved. Extremely pleased with the care and service I received. I would definitely recommend coming here.

    I am thrilled to say that I went from the worst farsightedness to 20/20 vision. I was referred to Dr Ngai, not knowing any eye doctors. I went there with no expectations and I left there with all the confidence in the world that he would be doing my cataract surgery. Dr Ngai is wonderful and he doesn't rush. He makes sure you have asked all of your questions and he goes over every detail. He is calm, patient, thoughtful, and very caring. Before surgery he personally called to me to go over everything again and that there was a meeting of the minds. I am so grateful to have trusted in Dr Ngai. His staff, everyone there is also amazing. Everything is explained thoroughly and everyone is so kind. I would definitely recommend Dr Ngai.....

    First I saw Dr Ngai I was not able to believe that he is good ophthalmologist coz he is young seems to be that he just graduated from Med School even though that I heard so many good feedback especially with my sister ,brother , coworkers and friends. Recently I have a cataract,glaucoma surgery of my both eye I was so scared and nervous but thanks to Dr Ngai for his patience and reassurance to calm me down. I’m happy for the outcome of my surgery. If anyone needs a good ophthalmologist see Dr Philip Ngai

    Dr Lin is the best eye dr my mom has ever had. He was able to restore her vision after many years of not being able to see. Our family is forever grateful for Dr Lin’s work! Highly recommend his office

    I have had a few complex surgeries recently with other eye surgeons in order to fix a rare problem with my eye. After months of care and visits with my surgeons, I still had questions about my surgeries. I was introduced to Dr. Ngai by a good friend of mine, and after seeing him for several visits, I am convinced he is one of the most competent and professional physicians out there. With very little information, he put all of the pieces of my complex history together, and explained to me in layman's terms what happened with my eyes. He called nearly all of my doctors personally to verify the facts and see what exactly happened with my eyes. Turns out his theory was correct, but the fact that he called my other doctors personally shows how much he cares. More importantly, he has advised me about what to do in the future to maximize and preserve my vision. In my visits with Dr. Ngai, he took the time to walk me through my diagnoses and treatment options, and was always attentive to any questions or concerns. I believe he truly cares about his patients and I could only wish all doctors practiced medicine this way. I now see (pun intended) why he and his office have the stellar reviews they have. I drive across the Golden Gate Bridge to see Dr. Ngai and it's totally worth it. Needless to say, I highly recommend Dr. Ngai to all friends and family for their eyecare.

    The team headed by Dr Ngai took care of me from the the time I was diagnosed, my surgery and post surgery as well. Excellent team! I now have a 20/20 vision after cataract surgery on both eyes through the expertise of Dr. Ngai. I am so grateful and blessed to be taken cared of by an awesome team who are so courteous, personable and caring. 👍👍

    Dr. Ngai is an excellent doctor with exceptional expertise in his field! He is kind, compassionate, and caring as well. You know that you are in great care with him and with his office staff. Outstanding in every way!

    My cataract surgery with Dr. Lin went wonderfully! It was a great experience and I am well pleased with how my vision is after surgery. I want to thank the entire staff for their professionalism and how they took care of me before and after surgery.

    I've often seen businesses or practices with five star ratings where nearly every post it seems had five stars and I thought there's no way, until I visited the San Gabriel Valley Eye Group today. Allison was awesome from the start when I first called to inquire if they take new patients. She answered my insurance questions and explained what to expect. When I arrived today she was still just as pleasant and the registration process was quick and easy. Eric the technician was awesome. He was very pleasant and polite. He wiped down all the machinery that was used for my test and he clearly knew his stuff because he was quick with processing everything, not rushed, he was just very familiar with his equipment. It was exciting to see him work. Dr. Mark Lin was as pleasant as the rest and very professional and thorough. It was exciting learning about the mechanics of the eye and I felt comfortable that I understood my results because he was very clear and patient in explaining the results of the tests. I haven't had an eye exam since Middle School and I'm 60+ now and it was exciting learning all about the eye. I didn't feel rushed and felt very confident about my eye health when I left. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs an ophthalmologist. AWESOME SERVICE.

    The doctor and staff are truly professional but at the same time they show great care towards their patients. The atmosphere of the office is welcoming and makes me feel at ease like I’m part of the family. Dr Ngai is great! He communicates gently with his patients and I would highly recommend him to friends and family for sure.

  • 5/5 Karen Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Ngai performed my cataract eyes surgery and advance lenses implant. The whole process was quick, smooth and very successful. Dr. Ngai was super patient, nice, understanding and professional, it took only a few days for me to recover from the surgery. I'm very impressed and grateful to Dr. Ngai and his wonderful staff. Having 20/20 vision again is so awesome!

  • 5/5 Fakhira H. 1 year ago on Google
    I feel more comfortable during my surgical procedure with Dr. Ngai! The office staff also made me feel comfortable and they were very nice. Dr. Ngai had also called me before and after the surgery, which is very different for me because other offices do not do that. Thank you!

  • 5/5 CuiE G. 1 year ago on Google
    My mom is very happy with the results of the cataract surgery. She has 20/20 vision now, no need for glasses! Thank you, Dr. Ngai! He was very helpful in answering any questions we have. We would recommend Dr. Ngai to our family and friends.

  • 5/5 Jean P. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently had cataract surgery a few weeks ago with Dr. Ngai. He did a great job with the surgery and made sure everything was straightforward and comfortable. The surgery was painless and my vision is amazing. The staff members at the office were so kind and professional. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Paula C. 1 year ago on Google
    I had cataracts and surgery became necessary. I went to San Gabriel Valley Eye Group as Dr Peter Chen had taken care of my visual needs for several years. However Philip Ngai was the doctor present upon my visit. I found Dr Ngai to be welcoming pleasant and professional. He explained in great detail each lens replacement option available while providing the patient with a knowledge base necessary to make an informed decision. I was impressed with the passion in which Dr Ngai spoke of his craft as well as his confidence in his ability to successfully perform lens replacement surgery. Immediately I knew Dr Philip Ngai was the right choice for my surgical need. Surgery in and of itself brings its own angst. The staff at the San Gabriel Valley Eye Group is exceptionally nice well versed and makes you feel very comfortable with all areas of the pre-0p experience. They treat you with dignity and respect while putting you at ease about your procedure. Words in and of themselves can’t begin to explain the level of skill and expertise of Dr Ngai. Before surgery with glasses I had 20/30 vision. The day both eyes were completed I was blessed with 20/20 vision w/out glasses. I’d recommend anyone with issues of visionary needs to see Dr Philip Ngai as he truly is an asset to his profession. My results exceeded my expectations and I owe it all to the accomplished work of the San Gabriel Valley Eye Group.
