Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

YAG Capsulotomy - Left Eye
Kira was great in checking me in for procedure. Audrey swiftly arrived and dilated eye and provided visit insights. Finally, Dr. Lee performed exceptionally as always. I arrived early by design for my appointment. Dr. Lee confirmed next Right Eye procedure date and I was actually in vehicle returning home 5-minutes before the scheduled procedure time! Wonderful…

Initially, I thought Dr. Lee was just a capable ophthalmologist. She performed cataract surgery one eye. Double vision diagnosed by other physician as nerve bruise above eye that would clear up, she took position of Could be, but if anything changes, call & I will see you that day. There was change, and she directed me to the hospital for blood work and MRI scan, with possible diagnosis of MS or myasthenia gravis. MS ruled out by scan. MG was the proven by blood. Referred to Neurologist.
