Felt like they were nickel and diming me and repeatedly tried to sell me on a more expensive procedure. Nice people though.

Thanks Frank for a pleasant visit!
June 12, 2018Trang N.Verified patient
I was early for my appointment, signed the usual legal documents and we got started with preliminary exams right away, so there was no wait at all despite me being there early!! As soon as Dr. Chen was free, we then continued with the eye exam which was quick and painless as well. Really appreciate the efficiency and kindness I experienced and will definitely see Dr. Yee again in the future!

Fantastic experience. This was my first time at this office. Was able to see the optometrist within 5 min of arriving and didn’t have to re-fill out forms. Eye doctor was friendly and efficient.

Really explained everything including what she saw on the images taken so that I knew what was going on. Very timely and smooth. Even had my contacts in stock.
More than 1 year agoAlexander B.Verified patient
Dr. Yee was very communicative and is very knowledgeable. Her office has the latest technology including a retinal scan which means I didn't have to get my eyes dilated.
May 18, 2017Lily W.Verified patient
It went great. Dr. Yee is very caring. She takes the time with each of her patients to carefully explain everything and do a thorough exam. I didn't feel rushed out the door. She answered all my questions and even checked for other medical conditions that would be affected by my eye.

Convenient location. Paperwork ready upon my arrival which was mostly completed using the information I had provided via ZocDoc when booking the appointment. I was scheduled for a full eye exam, was seen right away, and was out of the office within 30 minutes.
Office is a little cluttered, and selection of brand name glasses is lacking, but overall experience was positive.
May 8, 2017Justin G.Verified patient
Dr. Yee is fantastic! I've had some unusual vision needs, and I've seen this office several times, and the service has always been great. She comes highly recommended from other eye doctors.

I have unique eye issues and she was excellent at really fine tuning the best prescription for me. I have never seen clearer in my life.
April 26, 2016Helen D.Verified patient
It was great. She was very thorough, and she didn't try to upsell me glasses that I did not need. Very professional. I will be going back next year for my annual exam.
April 1, 2016Shawna P.Verified patient

They were extremely friendly and helpful and I was in and out quickly. I went in with a concern, and the concern was addressed and I can now read amazingly well!
August 10, 2015Michaela F.Verified patient
Dr. Yee was wonderful. She has an extremely easy manner about her and is a great conversationalist. Most importantly, she is a very thorough examiner and takes her time with you to make sure everything looks okay. Even though I was a bit late for my appointment, she still did a complete check-up and spent time talking to me about the best options for my vision. She even gave me great recommendations for eye doctors on the East Coast when I told her I'd be moving. I definitely recommend Dr. Yee for all your eye needs!
