For many years I feared cataract surgery and had canceled one scheduled surgery with a doctor in Oregon because I didn't feel at ease with the doctor. The time had come when I could not delay surgery any longer so I made an appointment with Dr. Jung who put me at ease during the first office visit. During surgery I was relaxed and pleased that Dr. Jung talked to me during the surgery. It went very smoothly. I had the 2nd eye surgery without any problems. Since the surgery I've had a retinal surgeon and an ophthalmologist view my eyes and both said the lenses were perfectly aligned. I was not surprised to hear this al all. I highly recommend Dr. Jung. ncsessions read more

I recently had an eye exam only to find out that I had cataracts in both eyes. The staff at Northwest Eye Associates were simply great. Everything during the exam was explained from start to finish during each part of the exam. After a few minutes in the exam room Dr. Jung joined me for more technical explanations and to explain step by step as to what to expect if I decided to have cataract surgery. I simply couldn't believe the surgery could be that easy and could be done in such a short amount of time. Needless to say, Dr. Jung did a wonderful job. After I went back for a post-op visit, I met with Dr. Jung again. I told him how pleased I was with his work and staff and scheduled to have my other eye done the next week. I highly recommend Northwest Eye Associates for any vision issues. Charles M. read more

Edithm, Gig Harbor I'm relatively new to Gig Harbor so was concerned about finding a good ophthalmologist. From the receptionist who made me feel welcome to the knowledgeable technician who started the exam, I was very pleased. When I saw Dr. Jung, I knew I had chosen well. He was very aware of the kind of vision issue I had experienced in the past and very thorough and professional In discussing it and future monitoring. I could not be happier that I chose to see Dr. Jung and will continue to going forward. read more

I had a great experience with Pacific NW Eye Associates. Hadn't been to an eye doctor in years. Saw Dr. Jung. Had a great first impression upon checking in. And the staff I saw prior to meeting Dr. Jung made me very comfortable and at ease. Dr. Jung was really easy to communicate with, and very informative. Overall, a wonderful experience. I won't hesitate to go back!! read more

I am treated very kindly and all of the staff are wonderful and kind. The equipment is always the newest there is. I know that I am being handled well. read more

I visited the Gig Harbor office last Friday for a regular checkup after cataract surgeries couple of years ago. As expected, I was so satisfied with their professional and kindest services provided by Dr. Jung and his staff members. I strongly recommend him with confidence to anyone who has concerns about eyes. Thank you. read more

I just completed my final post op appointment following cataract surgery on both eyes. Dr Hoon Jung was my surgeon. The entire experience pre-surgery, surgery, and post surgery was excellent. Dr Jung and all the staff in the Gig Harbor office and the Surgery Center were customer focused, professional and competent. I would highly recommend Dr Jung and Pacific Northwest Eye Associates to anyone requiring eye care. read more

I saw this doctor about 6 months ago and have finally decided I need to write this review. I deeply regret coming to this eye doctor for the following reasons: inability to communicate to me what the tests were doing or ruling out, unwillingness to discuss options for care, abrupt rude bedside manner which both frightened and shocked me. I understand that the tests available in this little suburban clinic are generic and not necessarily state of the art but I left having paid a substantial amount of money still not knowing why I had severe eye pain and terrifying loss of vision. I was tested there about an hour on tests and machines that seemed really really generic and frankly outdated (I do not know this for a fact, that's only my opinion) (but you will think the same if you go there, believe me). The doctor himself spent about 5 minutes with me. He spent these 5 minutes shaming me and denying knowing what else there was to be done. I was terrified not only of my vision loss but also by his disdainful manner which was more than curt - it was angry. I am taking the time to write this because I wish someone had told me to bother to leave Gig Harbor for excellent medical treatment. I was treated like a fast food customer and I really really needed medical CARE - I would have paid the same astronomical prices but been seen my a true specialist (where I ended up paying for all of it over again) if I had bothered to go elsewhere first. Be careful. You only get one pair of eyes, bother to go somewhere where they do research and treat you with respect. read more

Really bummed to write this update as my first experience was really good. They were not able to do a contact fitting for me, and now I cannot get a prescription. I will need to pay out of pocket for an exam elsewhere because they no longer have a doctor who can do contacts which seems insane for a vision center. They offered no suggestions or solutions for me. Very upset. read more

The Dr and her assistant (nurse) was amazing however I can't say the same about the front desk staff. I came in with a referral from the emergency room visit as I saw a Dr there and they wanted a re check. However when making my appointment they advised me that they could only see me once as they don't take my insurance but because I was coming from the ER i would be seen. However coming in the front desk treated me awful. However when seeing the Dr she was amazing and was able to explain things. So she wanted to see me again in 30 days regards to this visit to see if the retina had detached. I advised the Dr the office doesn't except my insurance she assured me it wasn't a problem as this was a post op appointment. However coming in the young lady at the desk upstairs checks me in says my appointment was canceled as they don't take my insurance someone should have called. I said i received no calls and I was aware they don't take my insurance but because I was coming from the ER it was covered. She sent me downstairs to talk to the billing insurance person I walk up and see walks away going to lunch and the one girl at the desk said are you Alyce I said yes and she said this other lady would help me. She got off her phone call insistently went into they don't take my insurance and they couldn't see me on and on. I told her my situation etc.. and I drove a half hour to get here and missed work. She then called someone and guess what they could see me it's still considered a post op appointment. I truly was talked to as if I was a piece of shit of the street coming in . read more

I took my 7 yea old daughter in a few months ago. The front office was rude and completely uninviting. After I received my bill I called in to pay and was greeting by "can you please hold...click". With as much as we paid for a simple check on a 7 year old I would not recommend going back simply because of the customer service aspect. There is only one doctor that comes in to see kids I think once a week and he was pleasant. read more

Pacific Northwest Eye is a very professional company and I highly recommend it for eye care. The staff is super friendly and will give each person a great experience and wonderful service. I actually look forward to going to my eye appointment each year. I have never had a bad experience at Pacific Northwest Eye. So don't hesitate..just do it. read more

I have been treated for Glaucoma for over 30 years, and shop my DRs thoroughly. 100% USA, top medical schools, great doctors. I see Dr Taylor. I was in my 20's when I was first diagnosed and my vision is still ~ 20/20, great news for my condition, @ 60! They take time with each appointment and the staff truly treats you like family. read more

I had cataract surgery from Dr. Jung and it was so smooth and painless I immediately scheduled the surgery for the other eye. Everyone involved in the process from start to finish was friendly and everything was explained thoroughly. I would trust this facility with any eye care needs. read more

I have been a patient for several years, (the Doctor that I was seeing was competent and thorough, but seemed rushed and short on time) but I have to give this office a very low grade. First, there are LONG wait times for appointment phone cues, and MONTHS to be seen. (Although surprisingly you get right through to billing) In October 2021 after waiting several months for my appointment I was notified that a piece of test equipment was down and I would have to reschedule. There was an indeterminate wait time, as it was not known how long the equipment would be unavailable. No one contacted me, and now it is March 2, 2022, and when I enquired when they could reschedule me, I was told AUGUST!!! Also, unfortunately, the staff are probably overworked, because my wife and I on separate occasions were met with unpleasant and discourteous reception. Sorry PNEA...you had numerous opportunities to change my opinion of you. You have lost my confidence and my business. read more

Dr. Jung has taken over for Dr. Taylor at Pacific Northwest Eye Associates. I have been a patient of Dr. Taylor's for about 18 years and enjoyed the care there. Dr. Jung was absolutely great! I was very pleased with all he did and he also had a sense of humor that I enjoyed. I was worried that since Dr. Taylor was gone whether I would be happy (change is often hard), but Dr. Jung made it a very easy transition. I have cataracts and mild dry macular degeneration. He told me how to take care of both and left it up to me when I'd like cataract surgery. He felt if I was living with it ok now, that it wouldn't be necessary to do it at this time, but when it started bothering me more, to make an appointment. I find that refreshing as so many places are so quick to do surgery these days. No pressure. It was a great experience all around. I will continue to see Dr. Jung for all my eye needs! Thank you!

I can't recommend Pacific Northwest Eye Associates. I had been a long-time customer and dealt with Mark Taylor. He always did a great job and I never had a problem with my glasses. Recently I purchased new frames and had to have my prescription updated. I took a pair of glasses in with me and let them know that they were perfect bifocals and I really just needed a current prescription. However, they gave me a full check-up, of which I didn't have a problem, and said they could fine-tune my prescription and I would see everything even more clearly. I sent the prescription to the company doing my new glasses and when I received them they were terrible. I took the glasses to Pacific Northwest Eye Associates and they confirmed they were made per the new prescription. I, again, gave them the glasses that I had taken with me prior and asked them to just duplicate the prescription. No, they had to fiddle around and make some "minor" adjustments to improve on what I thought was an ideal prescription for me. So, I sent the new prescription to the company that made my glasses, and their policy was to modify the lenses one time so I wouldn't have to pay for the modified lenses. I got the glasses fitted with the new prescription and couldn't have been more disappointed. They are better but I rarely wear them because my older glasses provide me with the best vision. I will be going elsewhere the next time I need an eye examination. read more

I have been going to Dr. Mark Taylor at PNW Eye Associates for many years and feel that I have received excellent care.

I stepped on my silhouette glasses and got them mangled and the optician just fixed them up perfectly. Amazing work. Didn't even require extra fiddling. Knew exactly what she was doing. Totally impressedwith the quality of service. read more

The Ophth did listen to me but immediately sent me to Seattle to another Ophth, he didn't want to treat my dry eye , even thought I was totally miserable, and dismissed me to another doctor. My current Ophth and PCP couldn't believe this. I'm being treated by another office, so I do not recommend this office. read more

Under NO circumstances should you visit this location. The staff, from the front reception to office manager, are rude, and don't do their jobs properly. They make mistakes, don't correct errors, don't know how to file paperwork or even call in a prescription properly. (Valerie in the Optical Shop is 5 Stars - but she can't make up for the rest of the office.). Horrible - rude - one of their opticians didn't even know what "visual acuity" was! Stay away! read more

When I showed up for my last visit, there were three people in front of me waiting to check in at the front desk and there was no receptionist, or anyone to be seen for 5 minutes. Finally somebody came out and checked us in with not even an apology. Then I was in the waiting area for 20 minutes before my name was called and then another 15 minutes after I was put in an exam room. A total of 40 minutes waiting after my appointment time. I never had a long wait when Dr. Taylor was there. He ran a tight ship and the help was on there toes. I will not return there until he does, hopefully next year. Until then I have cancelled my appointments. read more

I love the staff here. They got me in right away and went over and beyond. I'm so grateful to Dr.Chung for all his help. Highly recommended.

I am very happy with my care with Pacific Northwest Eye Associates in Gig Harbor. read more

The whole process is quick and painless! From check in (via a kiosk if you choose) to a clean and open waiting area. Followed by a friendly assistant helping you out till you meet with Dr Taylor. Nice guy, gently demeanor, very helpful. Still battling with my dry eyes, but I feel he'll get me through this no problem. So far, I would recommend pnwe. read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful but I was not impressed with their glasses selection otherwise I would have given them 5 stars. There were not a wide variety of styles to choose from that framed my face the best. read more
