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.

Don't go on a Friday
I had to make an appointment for an eye exam for glasses on a Friday afternoon due to my work schedule. When I got there, the nurse who did the eye exam was rude. She didn't look at me once during the entire visit and was in such a rush to get me out of her office that I ended up with the wrong prescription for my glasses. By the time I told Dr. Lee about this, my eyes were already dilated. He didn't offer to make it right. I left there irritated that I wasted an afternoon going to this clinic just to receive poor service and an incorrect prescription. Perhaps they care more about patients getting eye surgery since they make more money.

Dr. Lee removed cataracts off of both eyes and my vision is better than it has been in years. He was kind, thorough, and answered all of my questions. His team was exemplary. Thank you Dr. Lee!

Cataract surgery
A mostly "seamless" experience. Clearer instructions & updated drop schedule would have been helpful.

His staff said that EyeMed (GEHA) was not an accepted vision insurance and refused to give me the discount. They lied which ended up costing me almost $800 extra. EyeMed contacted them on my behalf and was told that it was too late to adjust my bill. I do not recommend this clinic.

Very disappointing. Everyone seemed to be in a rush getting us pushed through. Even Dr Lee didn’t seem to have time for our questions. In the end I left with the wrong optical prescription.

Dr. Lee did cataract surgery on both of my eyes. It is the best surgery I have ever had. No pain, no after effects, no regrets. I can now see 20-15....can hardly believe it. His office in Decatur is very professional and efficient. Christian is one of the best medical personnel I have ever dealt with in my many years of medical attention. I told Dr. Lee I would like to wrap Christian up and take him home with me. He just made me laugh and did everything to make me feel extra comfortable.

Dr Lee, in my opinion, is one of the best doctors in Huntsville . I had two surgical procedures with almost ZERO discomfort . The office is well organized and the staff are impressive and pleasant in their focused professionalism . They make the process easy to manage and cover all necessary details thoroughly . I was grateful to have such a good surgeon who definitely deserves the good reviews he receives .

I am so pleased that Dr. Lee is my doctor. I have excellent annual check-ups, thanks to my 2014 LASIK. Every step was thoroughly explained prior to happening. I went from almost legally blind to 20/15! I recommended him to my Daddy for cataract removal, and Daddy is quite pleased! We love Dr. Lee & staff!

I couldn't be more pleased with both the treatment I received during surgery and the outcome. This is my third day after having cataract surgery and my vision is so much better than I expected. I have my 2nd surgery scheduled next week and I'm so excited to see how much my vision will improve. I've had no pain, just a little tenderness around my eye socket. My eyes are extremely dry, but I've experienced only minor scratchiness. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Lee and his staff.
