Meet Our Doctors

Dr. Wong’s interest in the eyes started at an early age when she began wearing glasses at the age of eight, and she became curious about why she couldn’t see very well. It was her mother who suggested that she consider a career in optometry. Dr. Wong received a four-year scholarship to the University of Houston where she then joined the Pre Optometry Professional Society as an undergraduate. After four years of volunteer work at the university rotating through various clinics, Dr. Wong’s interest in optometry was strengthened along with her strong desire to help people see more clearly.

When Dr. Wong is not treating patients, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their two daughters, family, and friends. She likes trying out new restaurants, and lists cooking, reading, crocheting, and doing cross-stitch among her hobbies.

When Dr. Soto was in high school, she knew she wanted to do something to help her twin sister who, as a result of not receiving treatment for amblyopia as a child, now lives with permanent vision loss. In addition, she wanted to pursue a career in the medical field, but desired to have a work-life balance that would allow her to have a family as well. She believes being an optometrist is the perfect fit, and she says she couldn’t have picked a better career.

Dr. Soto loves having the opportunity to educate her patients about their overall eye health and helping them understand how they can prevent vision loss from things like diabetes, glaucoma, or wearing contact lenses.

When she is not in the office treating patients, Dr. Soto is loving her new role as a parent and being a mom to her beautiful baby girl.
