I have been going to Dr Kung for about 25 years, I just had cataract surgery, every one was great, Where I had my surgery, they all were so nice. Everything went well. I have no complaints.

Dr. Kung is the best! He is extremely knowledgeable & was able to help me when other eye specialists couldn't. He is very kind & gentle which is important when it's your eyes. He has a warm & welcoming staff. He is up to date on all the newest procedures. I wouldn't go to anyone else. I have recommended him to all my friends.

Dr Kung is the best eye doctor I ever known but I can't find information on the hours the clinic is open . The phone recording after hours does not provide that information. Please take care of that. Thank You.

Let me start by saying that my husband and I highly recommend Dr. Kung to anyone and everyone that needs to see an eye Dr. My husband had cataract surgery somewhere else & wasn't seeing properly afterwards. After going to different doctors someone highly recommended him to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kung. We both were so very pleased with our experience at Staten Island Ophthalmology. The Front Desk ladies were all warm, friendly, pleasant, and wonderful. As for the lab techs they were extremely knowledgeable & helpful. Dr. Kung took an interest in us. He explained the process in full detail & answered all our questions that we had for him. We would strongly recommend Dr. Kung for his professionalism and knowledge. We went in as patients and came out as family.

Had a appointment on April 24th. Very short wait till i was called. I had the good fortune of a very pleasant young lady by the name of Maria that assisted me. She brought me into the first room and explained to me the three tests that she was going to conduct. Maria made me feel very comfortable while administering the tests. We spoke a little about her future. When she finished Dr Yu finished his examination and I told him that Maria was asset to the business and that she had great customer service.

$30 Refraction Exam Scam: The appointment was fine & they are good at what they do, however, I received a phone call prior to my appointment telling me that I had to pay $30 for the refraction exam because my insurance does not cover it. My insurance does cover it & when I told them that it was clear as day on Emblems website (“As a member of this plan, refractive eye exams are covered every 12 months.”) I was told to call my health carrier & ask them for the phone call reference # to provide to their office as proof that I was told during the conversation that I’m covered for the exam. Insane that I had to take time out of my day to do their job. My insurance company even told me that the doctors office is responsible for verifying such information. Nice how they call patients and tell them confidently that they aren’t covered when in fact they are & they are collecting $30 all day long from people who don’t need to be paying anything because their insurance covers it. If they are lazy to do their job of validating if this test is covered under the policies they accept, then they should AT THE VERY LEAST not lie outright to their patients over the phone by telling them their insurance doesn’t cover the exam. Instead, they should tell their patients that they will need to check if they are covered for that exam before arriving if they refuse to do their job and verify this information for their accepted policies. Robbing your patients is not the best way to treat the people who keep your doors open.

Terrible experience for my mother. She saw Dr Kung for a cataract evaluation. She was told she had to pay extra for the surgery since she had an astigmatism. After the surgery she still can’t see well and was told by another doctor that she will need a cornea transplant because the surgeon “messed up”. I’ve learned the hard way that Dr Kung doesn’t have the best reputation in Staten Island. My advice is to always get a second opinion and stay away from this office.
