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.

Excellent doctor
Referral to Dr. Lee for cataract surgery; after exam he disagreed and explained why in detail. I found him to be professional and polite but more importantly, truthful.

Cataract surgery
Poor bedside manner and equally poor results. Running patients through surgery like cattle. More money is the primary goal not your quality results. There are other doctors here - use them.

Rude and pompous if you have problems w/surgery!
I have had flashing image and blurriness since cataract surgery on my left eye for a year. Today I finally went to see him and he was dismissive, defensive and rude. I waited to see if these problems would resolve - flashing in my left eye. Never warned about positive dysphotopsia (spell) I had to find it on the computer. Very cocky. I'll go to another doctor to see what can be done. He did not offer lens replacement and I wouldn't let him touch my eye again anyway! Go elsewhere! Awful attitude. I'm 68 and have never had a Dr. problem! He treated me as I was a product on an assembly line. This is about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! They run you through that procedure as fast as possible. You never even meet or see the Dr.

I came to Dr. Lee after having a sudden change in my right eye. I have never really had issues with my vision before and haven't been to the eye doctor in a few decades, so I was rather nervous. I left Regional Eye feeling much more calm. Dr. Lee was reassuring and knowledgeable. Would recommend.

I’ve seen Dr Brandon Lee for many years. He has taken good care of my eyes. I had Cataract Surgery done by him and did very well. A lot of my relatives go to him. I would recommend him to all my friends!

I can't speak to the negative reviews other than to say that my experience was very different. I found Dr. Lee to be extremely professional and competent. He greeted me cordially and quickly got down to the business at hand--examining my eyes in preparation for cataract removal. It was a very straightforward process, and he asked all the right questions. One thing that I especially liked: he had an assistant taking notes rather than being focused on his computer. His focus was on his patient.

I accompanied my father who is a diabetic post stroke patient, to his visit with Dr. Lee. I was very disappointed in Dr. Lee's care delivery. Upon coming into the exam room, he never acknowledged my father nor myself, just flipped through the chart very quickly. He did not fully review nor discuss the reason for the visit with my father. He did render minor treatment, which was only partially why we were there and he was quickly out the door. Poor professional behavior and communication skills.
