Dr. Yeh removed both cataracts in my eyes. She was awesome. She is such a people person. I knew I had found the right doctor the moment I met her. She calmed all my nerves and explained everything thoroughly. Everything went well and I can see better now than I have in a very long time.

My long range vision went from poor to very, very poor in less than a month! Dr. Yeh did one exam and said my cataracts had 'exploded!' She said that is typical for diabetics. She scheduled me for surgery over the next two weeks and the day after the second surgery, I had 20/20 long range vision in both eyes! It feels like a miracle! I can now read things at distances from which I have not be able to read for 30 years!

Dr. Yeh and the staff at Prairie Eye center were friendly, professional, and reassuring when it came time for my cataract surgery and Lasik. Dr Yeh was professional and friendly, and she explained what was going to be done extremely well. My vision is the best it has been - probably ever - as I have worn thick glasses since 2nd grade. Overall, very happy with my experience, and would undoubtedly recommend Dr. Yeh and Prairie Eye.

Dr. Yeh and her staff are fabulous. I had surgery to correct cataracts, astigmatism, and poor vision. She and her entire staff made the entire process a joy and the results were wonderful. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends.

Dr. Yeh is a warm, caring physician with amazing expertise and knowledge. She is a pleasure to see, and now I really see after my cataract surgery, with my 20/20 vision. This was the easiest surgery with her amazing staff and her skill. She is a treasure.

I had an excellent experience. I had lasik done to my left eye that correct my vision to 20/20 - 20/15 and no longer have to wear glasses thanks to Dr. Yeh. Her and her staff were very polite, handled me well with no issues during surgery, and gave me precise instructions for the healing process. I was nervous going in, unsure of what it would be like getting this done, but the only pain I really experience was a very short burn from the eye drops that numbed the eye they worked on.

Dr. Yeh is truly passionate with her profession. She treated me like a family member, making sure I understood the procedure and what to expect afterwards. I couldn't see anything but shadows, basically blind in one eye to 20/20 vision! Truly remarkable. I can't thank her enough for giving me back my vision.

Dr. Yeh is a dynamo! She cares as much about my vision as I do, and she does so with enthusiasm as well as a surgeon's perfectionism. She is patient in explaining all procedures, and she takes pride in helping us resolve vision issues. She has created an awesome team, and the whole office reflects her values. So lucky to have her!

I have had bad vision my whole life, and was diagnosed by a different doctor with cataracts, which had gotten bad enough to obstruct my right eye to the point of blindness. Went to Dr Yehs office for second opinion. She recommended a newer type of Multifocal lenses and promised better vision. She was right. I went from -17 vision to 0 across the board. I now have 20/20 vision on day 2 after 2nd eye was done.

I just had my second eye done yesterday and I am seeing 20/20 today, thanks to Dr. Yeh and her staff. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!! She is an exceptional doctor and a joy on visits to her office. I would also like to commend the staff at the St John’s Surgical Suites, as well— they were all very attentive, kind, and comforting.
