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.

Never again
I didn't actually see Dr Lee so this review is about his staff. I arrived and had to wait close to 20 minutes. When i was finally called in i was told that the machine they used to measure eye depth was down but they had an older model they could use. After a couple of failed attempts that involved placing a probe on my cornea the assistant called in another technician. She tried a number of times to no avail, all the while holding the probe against my eye. I had enough of their fumbling and left before they damaged my eye. I won't go back!

Dr Steven F. Lee performed cataract surgery on me and did a fantastic job. I was very reluctant to even make the initial appointment. However when I did finally call, I spoke to his assistant Mary who took the time to answer all of my questions and really put me at ease. When I met Dr Lee my confidence level went even higher. I went ahead with the surgery and opted not to get anesthetized. I have to admit; on the way to the surgery I was totally second guessing my decision to be awkake while some guy carved on my eyeball. As it turned out, Dr Lee was very smooth, precise, and quick. He and his well trained staff have now made my other eye quite jealous! Thank you and all your staff at Opthalmology Consultants for a job well done!

I see Dr. Lee for my glaucoma and recently he performed cataract surgery on my right eye. He is a wonderful physician and I trust him completely! My cataract surgery was perfect and I can't wait to get my left eye done!
