They explained everything really well and answered all of my questions, which helped calm my nerves. The procedure was way quicker than I expected, and I could already notice a huge difference in my vision afterward. Being able to wake up and see clearly without glasses or contacts is honestly amazing IT CHANGED MY LIFE ! I definitely wish I had done it sooner. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone thinking about getting LASIK!

I would give zero stars if I could. The "surgeon" here (Dr. Joseph Lee) cares more about money than…read morethe actual patient. After several consults, we settled on a price that was reasonable for the surgery. All the sudden on the final consult before scheduling the surgery, the surgeon complains that the price is too low for the amount of work he needs to do on my eye and that he would have to make incisions on my eyelids (causes scarring and is extremely painful). He has never made that comment before until now. Apparently it will make the work "easier" for him for how much it will cost and that other lasik doctors would do the same. I went and consulted with two other surgeons (most likely more reputable than him) and mentioned that. None of them said they would need to do that for my eye. Dr. Lee here is a liar! He acts like he is the only eye surgeon who performs lasik around here and criticizes others. He states he does not care about money but has the nerve to tell me that the amount he would be getting from me is all the sudden too cheap. He also says he is a humble guy but during every single consult he spends the entire time talking about himself. This guy even admitted he "experiments" without our consent. He told me the story of how he placed alcohol in the eyes of one of his clients because she developed an infection. He said it's not fda approved but did it anyways. I don't know about you, but I personally don't want to be an experiment to anyone. Avoid this doctor at all costs. There are plenty of other lasik surgeons out there who do much better jobs and are honest.

If you would prefer a more handheld experience, I'd highly recommend you go somewhere else. You can…read moreread all about the actual Lasik experience from other reviews, but these were just some of the issues that I personally faced. Take it from someone who has now had 3 Lasik surgeries with Dr.Lee in the past year and is still not seeing clearly. Original prescription ~ -6.00 with astigmatism Cons: - Difficulty with appointments. They crank out surgeries and check-ups here like a factory. The waits are long (30+ min with appt), and I've had my appointments changed from the Artesia location to Ktown LA the day before multiple times. - My eyes regressed within a year about ~1.00 and I had to do an enhancement. I went in for my surgery and he did only one eye before telling me to come back another day to do the other. Apparently, I'm very difficult, even though I have no history of anxiety? He made me feel terrible. Of course there were no available appointments for a whole month. I was seeing clear in one eye and extremely blurry in the other for a month. Cue headaches. - Post enhancement, I'm still not seeing clearly in one eye. Pros: - Price for surgeries here are half the cost of most western offices. - Medical assistants and other doctors who assist with check-ups are super sweet and professional. They were sympathetic when I was feeling disappointed.

My first visit was a really good experience overall. The eye exam, glasses fitting, and contact…read morelens fitting all felt smooth and thorough. The doctor is professional, easy to talk to, and has a very relaxed, chill demeanor that made the appointment comfortable. I was also recommended Optase Hylo Relief dry eye drops and they've been great. They keep my eyes lubricated with contacts and feel noticeably better than other brands I've tried. David, the office manager, is very straightforward, sometimes blunt, but always clear and helpful. There was a miscommunication with my contact lenses that left me unable to receive them for about two to three months. Luckily I had enough supply to get by. David was instrumental in resolving the issue, which stemmed from my vision benefits. He followed up diligently and handled everything with professionalism and persistence. The matter ultimately resolved with my insurance, and I was impressed by his level of service throughout. Overall, a very positive experience with attentive care and strong follow through when an issue came up. I will definitely be back!

Dr Choi is amazing. He is able to handle the whole family and his equipment is more high-tech than…read moreour previous optometrist office. He is always attentive to eye health and has greatly helped us with our youngest's sight issues. Not only is Dr Choi great but so is his office staff. We never have to wait more than 10 minutes, it's a well oiled machine. David is incredibly efficient and knowledgeable. Their selection of frames is vast and they do turn around lens in store-- which is so convenient. Their pricing is on par and they work with insurance. We truly can't recommend this office more! If you're thinking about going, just book the appointment, you won't be sorry.

Do you know how rare it is for somebody to voluntarily write a positive review without being…read moreprompted or asked to do so? My family and I have been seeing Dr. Chao and his team for many years at both the Irvine and Fullerton locations - they are simply outstanding. In the past, we've done cataract surgery (for my dad), routine checkups, and most recently for myself, PRK surgery. In every instance, we've been absolutely impressed with Dr. Chao's team of professional, knowledgeable, and kind staff members. In 9/2020, I went to get a consultation about Lasik vs. PRK surgery with Dr. Chao. He patiently walked me through the relative advantages of each procedure and which was the right one for me. My PRK procedure (10/2020) was incredibly smooth; some of my friends had less than ideal experiences with other practitioners, but I'm happy to report my procedure and recovery process went perfectly. Dr. Chao and his team did an amazing job of caring for me, carefully explaining what I should expect, and always making me feel like I was being treated with the highest level of expertise. I just came in for my three-month follow-up and could not be happier I decided to work with Dr. Chao. It's rare to find such a wonderful team of medical professionals. I genuinely enjoy coming in to see Dr. Chao! My advice is to listen to the onslaught of five-star reviews (especially those from people who actually work in healthcare) and book an appointment with Dr. Chao's office. Don't go anywhere else - this is the type of care we should get from every single doctor.
