My son had been a patient of Dr. Chow for several years and he diagnosed his strabismus and has performed 2 surgeries on his eyes. Dr Chow takes is time to explain in grate detail what his findings are and how to proceed. I have complete trust in Dr. Chow and would not go to any other Opthalmologist. I drive well over an hour to see him! Thanks to Dr. Chow and Heather for all they do!

Dr Chow has performed strabismus surgery on me twice - about 24 years apart, (last one last month) once per eye. Both were very much needed, and very successful. He is dedicated, deeply experienced and professional.
