Pleasant visit. Everything explained well.
Very nice, pleasant, friendly, helpful, courteous. I was very happy, when I left the office, because Dr. Ng told me exactly what he could do, to improve my vision and that was exactly what I was looking to hear, very pleased!
Always impressed with their knowledge and kindness.
Everybody is so kind and helpful with any questions we might have. They made me feel very secure . It was nice to have a nice conversation with them and know what to expect the next few days.
Dr. Ng and all the staff at OHSU Casey Eye are very professional and listen to the questions that patients have.They explain very clearly want is happening to the patient.
He's very personable, very helpful, and was willing to change out the big needles for small needles. I felt like he did a good job, and it was pretty much pain-free. I do have some bad results from it, but maybe they'll go away. I'll call on Monday to see if there's something that can be done for that, if these results are still the same, or if they're worse. So that's it, I think. Dr. Ng is a very good doctor. Thank you.
Always on time. Friendly. Always takes time for any questions. Excellent
I really enjoyed my visit with Dr. Ng.
Professional staff, saw doctor within less than 5 minutes, friendly , efficient, showed concern for my comfort, answered all questions, took time to discuss possible future problems and options for treatment. Encouraged me to be comfortable with my status as presently exists and how to prepare for future downturn. In all of this discussion he focused on reality with a positive, comforting outlook. I left uplifted in attitude.

He was so gracious and kind. He explained everything clearly and followed up when promised. Gave me all options to resolve the issue.

He answered all my questions and didn't rush my appointment.
He is very respectful, very informative, easy to communicate with, and very knowledgeable. And I so appreciate his care. I feel like I'm in good hands.
Listens carefully, asks thoughtful questions, caring demeanor, connects with the patient on a human level. Dr. Ng is the best.
I had a similar condition in my left eye years ago and Dr. Ng corrected it completely. He also helped my father with an eye condition. When my right eye was diagnosed with a condition similar to my left eye, I was grateful for Dr. Ng once again. Dr. Ng is the best in his field as well as a great human in his care for his patients and staff.
Informative & recommended additional aids to help correct a problem while waiting for next procedure to be scheduled shortly.
Dr. Ng is a most accomplished doctor. Skilled, compassionate, communicative.
I truly have appreciated Dr. Ng valuable time spent on answering my questions. His answers have helped me with my surgery phobia. Also, I am thankful he is willing to listen to my requests, which are somewhat different than the standard care.
He's the best surgeon and also he is very nice human being respectful and kind
When you have only one set of eyes, you want only the best provider to treat them! That's Dr Ng!
Dr. Ng communicated surgery and post op care very well. Answered all questions and gave realistic view what to expect.
My provider -- and his assistant were professional, considerate, and warm. They "talked" me through my eyelid surgery as both members of this team of two people stitched the appropriate portions of my eyelids. After the procedure, the doctor hurried off to other duties, and the assistant made sure that I was well versed on post-operative instructions. What a privilege to be care for by such caring professionals!
I really, really, really like John Ng. He is a wonderful doctor, a great person, very kind, friendly, professional, and sure as heck knows what he's doing. I am so glad that he has treated me.
Extremely helpful and informative. Explained everything very well
Dr Ng was very knowledgeable and he explained things in a way I could easily understand. He was attentive to my concerns. His manner is kind and relaxed which helped to relax me. I highly recommend Dr Ng.
Wonderful , friendly and professional
Great insight and explanation on my therapy
Considerate and provides information easy to disseminate.
I just really appreciate how Dr. Ng and his fellow worked with me, not just to finish up the surgery that he had done, but then discovering the retinal tear that ended up being a retinal detachment and getting me to the right people very quickly. And then checking in with me after that surgery, even though they weren't even part of that team that took care of me. I just think the holistic care between the two departments and follow through with the patient was really quite extraordinary. So thank you very much.
Very courteous and thoughtful .Had time for me and explained the problem very well.
Dr. Ng was wonderful, as well as all the admission, recovery, operating nurses, and anesthesiologist. The whole staff at OHSU, (Casey Eye Institute) was extremely helpful, attentive, and courteous, and each one answered my questions in a friendly, patient manner. They actually listened to and validated my concerns and comfort level. I felt like a person and not a number!
My appointment was on time with no wait. Dr Ng and staff were extremely pleasant and professional. I highly recommend.this physician and clinic.
Dr. Ning and his staff were just wonderful. And he helped me with a situation that was really affecting my quality of life. And he put together a plan for my dry eyes and adjusting my eyelids. And it's been about a week and a half. And my eyes closed now. My eyelids closed. And just a whole team of people, the anesthesiologists, the nurses, everyone in that little room were just the best. And I highly recommend KCI Institute and Dr. Ning.
No, everything went smooth as it could be with my surgery and everybody was so nice and people so helpful and everything. No, I don't care to go up there in Portland because I live out in Vernonia, but it was a really nice experience. He did a good job and it's been doing great since I've come home. So thank you.
I had surgery on my right eyelid with Dr. Ng and it was flawless. I had almost no bruising, almost no swelling. He followed up on the, you know, on the, recently with a sort of video call. But I just have to say, you know, I'm very, very happy that I stumbled on him and that he helped me out with my, I have Ramsey-Hunt syndrome, so it's been very difficult for quite a few years. Thank you. Bye.
Dr. Ng is definitely the best at what he does! Extremely happy to be under his care!

Got the information needed in a timely manner.
Dr. Ng, very professional, very good, did a wonderful job. Thank you.
A squirrel knocked out the electricity and after two and a half hour drive I was told in the parking garage that I would probably be turned back. However Dr. Eng's office was open. It was unfortunate that no text message was sent to my phone. Other than that it was fine.
Dr Ng listened well, had clearly read my chart and knew my history, and repeatedly asked for my questions. In addition, his nurse asked good questions, kept excellent notes, and was gracious and cheerful in the appointment.

They were very helpful and considerate, even getting us in an hour early! The only complaint I have is the overwhelming smell of perfume in the office. As a health care professional, I'm sure you are aware of the intense allergic reactions one can have to scent.
Had options for my condition and appreciate his knowledge and understanding. Perfect mix!
