I can't say enough great things about Dr. Lee! From the moment I walked in, the energy was amazing -- upbeat, fun, and so welcoming. Dr. Lee has this perfect balance of professionalism and personality that makes you feel totally at ease. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and love what they do. The exam was thorough and efficient. Dr. Lee took the time to explain everything clearly (and even made it fun!). The whole staff matched the same positive vibe -- friendly, organized, and super helpful. If you want an eye doctor who's knowledgeable, kind, and brings a little extra spark to your day, this is it! I left with clearer vision and a big smile. Shout out to Heidi, you are always so helpful and kind. #Garyisawesome read more

Great care great doctorGreat follow up reminders. Doctor called personally when needing more information from us. After two years of saying I can't see but have my contacts in, and my husband had glasses but had two pair cuz he couldn't see either...we can finally see!!!! read more

best eye Dr! she took her time and after all these years of not being able to see good I finally got my prescription where it needed to be! so thankful I found her. 5 stars! read more

Great eye doctor! Dr. Lee is kind, understanding and very good at prescribing the correct lense prescription. I've been to other OD's who prescribed incorrect lenses. Dr. Lee is VERY precise. read more

Best optometrist around. Dr Lee truly cares for you. Never rushed. Gives out her personal cell phone and responds even when they're closed.

Dr. Lee is fantastic! She listens, truly thinks about what options are best to fit your eye vision needs; whether you are trying to wear contacts, or glasses. Dr. Lee helped me try a bifocal contact for the first time. She thought about the type of contact that would be comfortable for me to wear as well as work for the type of vision I needed for both distance & reading. She constantly was thinking about my vision eye needs the entire time I was with her in her office. She thinks outside the box for the best options. She has a great personality too; bubbly & personable. This past holiday weekend, the Fourth of July, I had a problem with the new contact I just got on July 3rd. Her office was closed so I wrote an email not expecting a response until Monday when they opened again. I was shocked, delightedly happy and surprised when Dr. Lee called me on Saturday, even though her office was closed, to ask about my contact trouble. This is what I call an amazing, caring, thoughtful, outstanding Optometrist as well as a truly conscientious nice concerned person. I wish I could give Dr. Lee 10 stars 's as she is truly amazing and an excellent Optometrist. 10 stars & 10 smiles to Dr. Lee. read more

Friendly office and staff. Limited hours. Reasonable prices. Have been a patient for many years.

Dr. Lee was the third Optometrist to prescribe progressive glasses for me and the only one to get it correct! Love my prescription! Its wonderful to see again. The office staff were helpful and quick. Thank you so much! read more

My DR had retired and luckily when I called the # I was forwarded to Dr Lee. I spoke with her and she was able to check my insurance and have my file sent over to her. I had my apt on Tuesday and let me tell you she does not disappoint! She took her time with me and gave me several options. She was able to see that I had an astigmatism and gave me to correct rx. If you are looking for a new eye doctor she is the one! The are also open evening hours which is awesome! read more

Dr Lee goes above and beyond any time we need her! Her and her staff work tirelessly to get everything done, despite being super busy. We appreciate Dr Lee and her staff for the work that they do and for always taking their patients needs into consideration. read more

I was expecting A LOT after reading the reviews. And she still exceeded my expectations by miles. She is so incredibly thorough and friendly and good at her job. Her assistant is wonderful too. She and I had decided on how some glasses were going to go and Dr. Lee said wait I thought you were doing this and what about this etc. my appt was at 1:15 today and I returned with the measurements to my computer monitor at 6:30 and she remembered what we had talked about earlier. It was well after 7 pm when we left and they didn't rush us. They wanted to be sure everything was as good as could be. Wow. Service and expertise. Amazing. read more

An exceptionally thorough, inventive, and patient minded eye doctor. Having moved around lots, I've compared many eye doctors across cities from San Francisco, London, Seattle to oddly Visalia. She is one of the best if not best I have had. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Lee's for years and this review is long overdue. Dr. Lee is hands down the best Optometrist in Visalia.

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Lee's for over 15 years. I first started going to her when she was at Costco and due to the amazing job she does, I have followed her to all of her new locations including her current one now! I suffer from a condition that makes it very difficult to take an eye exam and Dr. Lee has always been so patient and understanding. I never feel rushed and that is super important to me as she tries to get the best prescription possible. I have referred many people to go see her and take my family there as well! Recently my brother who is in a wheel chair went in for an eye exam and Dr. Lee was great working with him and transferring him from his wheel chair to the exam chair. You can tell her and her staff truly care about their patients! I wouldn't go anywhere else in Visalia! read more

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Lee for 5-6 years. We started seeing her when she was at Costco and have followed her to Sears and then to her office on Watson. We will follow her where ever she goes. She does a great exam and we have never had to go back because the glasses weren't right. She is professional and will go to great lengths to please you. I would highly recommend her. Love Dr. Lee! read more

I first saw Dr. Lee in 2016. She is really friendly, observant and easy to talk to. Throughout my appointment she was very communicative about about the different tests she was doing, so I felt comfortable the whole time. I've gone back several times to see her and every appointment has been outstanding! I would 100% recommend her to anyone who's looking for an optometrist!! read more

Dr. Lee really cares about her patients and goes out of her way to accommodate you and answer questions. I recently got my eye exam for contacts and bought the lenses from her with a rebate. I wanted small circle John Lennon glasses for times not wearing contacts. She searched for Lennon frames to no avail. I found a frame from Hong Kong on eBay and Dr. Lee found a lab in LA to put the prescription lenses in. Quality work. Very pleased with Dr. Lee and would recommend. read more

Where do I begin; How many eye doctors HAND DELIVER emergency contacts to your home? Dr Lee goes above and beyond to make sure you literally "have vision". I am legally blind, losing contacts for me is a BIG DEAL. Dr Lee always helps me out in emergency situations free of charge. She doesn't make you feel like you're bothering her, or pestering her. She is genuinely just the sweetest soul. I have been with her since Costco, Sears, and now her own shop. Her customer service and the way she's treats her clients is consistent if not more generous! She stays up to date with the latest tech and new changes in the optometry world. Not to mention, she's available via text. Overall, she's just a wonderful human being. There's a reason I've been with her since I was 12 years old; going on 15 years strong. If you're looking for a optometrist, please see Dr Lee. read more

I started going to Dr Lee about 5 years ago. I've been in an out of the office for various things and Dr Lee has always impressed me with how attentive she is to her customers. She takes the time to get everything right when other optometrists try and get you out quick just how fast food chains operate. The rest of my family started going to her and they've always been taken care of as well. Dr Lee is professional, respectful and cares about everyone who walks through her office even to the negative Nancy's. Thank you Dr Lee. read more

She is just the best in Visalia. My entire family goes to see her. I've been her patient for about 7 years now and every visit is wonderful. She returns phone calls, her staff is nice, each visit consistent with the last. read more

Dr Lee used to be good but not so much now. I continued to see her Even though she refuses my insurance. I thought she was worth me paying out of pocket; which at 1st (when she was new there) she SEEMED to care However now she's always rushing me out and has developed an attitude. I won't be returning read more

Dr Yuwen Lee is a more than capable optometrist with stunning credentials and a healthy knowledge of optometry. More so than that, she is a really good, trustworthy person who one could feel completely safe lending their eyes to. I fully recommend her to any and everyone looking for a good optometrist in the Visalia area. read more

My children and I have been under Dr Lee's care for many years. Like a prior comment, we first started going to see her at Costco, we followed her to all the new locations including her current one, we love her. We never had an issue with the prescriptions or her care, she is always very nice, very professional, excellent at her practice, she is the best. read more

Dr Lee is an outstanding Dr. She has gone out of her way to help my family multiple times. Recently my daughter was in Dallas and tore her contact. She did not have any extras with her. My daughter called Dr Lee and she faxed over a prescription to a eye doctor in the area my daughter was at so she could get a trial pair until she got back home to California. Thank you Dr Lee for your kindness and going above and beyond to help my daughter out. Thank you Robin Orozco read more

Wonderful staff they go above and beyond for their patients I can't say enough kind words regarding how Wonderful Yuwen Lee is. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an optometrist. The prices and eyeglasses were very affordable as well. read more

Dr Lee is the best there is. Due to several reasons, I've seen over 6 different eye doctors in the last 10 years. I came to Dr Lee's office last year and have been blown away with the care and passion that she has. Her staff has been great too. I love the convenience of being able to text the office and they respond back! I don't know how Dr Lee does it with her busy schedule but she also finds time to respond back or call her patients, after hours and on the weekends! She is all about her patients and helps reduce cost on unnecessary purchases. If I had to say something negative, it would be, expect to be there for at least an hour. Why...because there is only one of her and she definitely takes her time with a proper exam, never rushes you if you have a question or want to go over issue/s. This is how all doctors, primary and speciality doctors should be! Thank you Dr Lee for your awesome work and dedication to the profession and patients! read more

Dr. Lee is the BEST eye doctor! We love her cheerful personality and her professional care. Our family has been seeing her since 2013 and she continues to display personal care. She even met us down in Los Angeles and handed over contact lenses to my daughter who was in desperate need! Such amazing commitment to her patients. We come from overseas every 1-2 years and wait to visit her for our eyecare. So thankful we found Dr. Lee many years ago. I encourage anyone with small children to have total faith in her ability! She will put your child at ease. Call her today for your next eye checkup and you will never regret your decision! read more

Saw Dr. Lee and was very pleased with my visit. She is very thorough and makes sure you understand her completely. Felt I received a thorough exam and will be pleased with my glasses. Her staff is very friendly and professional. So glad I found her. read more

I don't review businesses often but when I do it's normally because it's very well worth it. It was difficult finding things open during this terrible pandemic. My insurance was expiring the following day that I contacted Dr. Lee and she was texting me back and forth until 10pm or so. This way I could take advantage of my benefits before they expired. Once I ordered my sunglasses she was kind enough to drop them off curbside at my house. Best optometrist in town! read more

Dr. Lee Goes above & far beyond for her patients. She will do all she can to help as best she can! Most eye doctors will rush you along but in my contact fitting she would not stop until she felt confident that I was happy with the selection. Not only a great eye doctor but such a kind person! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Lee's for approximately 16 years and I can honestly say she is the best! She is incredibly dedicated to her practice/patients. I have stayed on as her patient through her location moves and through my moves because of the excellent care she has consistently provided. My eyes require very specialized lenses, and she always makes sure we find the perfect fit. She is professional, personable, and truly cares about the needs of her patients. She often goes above and beyond to accommodate patient schedules and has been easily reachable in times when I've had contact emergencies. She is a trustworthy provider and I highly recommend Dr. Lee Optometry! read more

Was recommended to Dr. Lee by a friend. My last contact lens exam from another optometrist didn't seem accurate and from the beginning street signs and small objects at work were hard to see. I thought maybe my eyes were just getting to that age where I would never see 20/20 again even with contacts. She was very prompt with scheduling, the office is very clean, and her and her assistant are very kind and professional. I have astigmatism and she got the prescription perfect and lens fitting corrected. Also, she explained the insurance really well and made the whole experience very easy for a new patient. read more

I had to see an optometrist before my insurance ran out. I called a few places but they couldn't accommodate me soon enough. When I called her office she was able to work with me and find me an appointment that worked with my schedule. It was my first time with an optometrist (I know in my 30s and have never been) so I didn't know what to expect. She explained everything and put my worries away. Thank goodness she explained to me about those eye drops that make the eyes burn (ouch). Dr. Lee made me feel really comfortable with her cheerful personality. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a check up! read more

Dr Lee just completed my annual check up.. She is extremely professional. She discussed alternatives to the check up and made recommendations as well as my expectations for the future with my eye site. I would give her the highest marks for being a consumate professional.. Rod Frese, Ph.D. read more

Dr. Lee is professional & so knowledgeable. I have been with her for ten years and find that she runs her practice the best way to cater to her patients. She never hesitates to refer you out if it's something out of the scope of her practice because she cares so much about you. I love her gentle soft tone, it calms me when explains everything that's going on, how long it will take to resolve etc. She takes the time to adjust everything so well so I can see better. I mean she takes the time. Besides that she is always professionally dressed & groomed, looking good and attentive. I love her & highly recommend her. Even my now grown children want to stay with her even though my son has now moved to LA(which is where she went to school too I think) . But he will call her and make an appt to see her when he is in visalia to visit me. Same with my daughter who is now in Fresno. read more

I was visiting my brother and his family in Hanford for the wknd and the only pair of contacts I had with me ripped when i rushed to get them out of the case. My brother drove me to see his optometrist at the Visalia Costco (Dr. Lee). She was very cordial and sympathetic to my situation..and surprisingly it cost me much less than what I was paying my other doctor in Los Angeles. It was busy when we got there..but Dr. Lee and here staff were very accommodating... and it wasn't too long before I was done and had several pair of trial lens for the wknd. Thnx Dr. Lee....you've saved my wknd!!!! read more

I was on a roadtrip when one of my contacts ripped and I didn't have a back up. I stopped by Dr. Lee's inside Sears. She is knowledgeable, thorough and friendly. The office is clean with the latest equipment. My contacts feel great, even better than my old ones. She gave me some eye care tips and some rewetting drops. I was in and out within an hour and able to enjoy the rest of my trip. read more

I had first met Dr. Lee as my optometrist when Costco expanded and moved to its current location in Visalia. I had just moved to the area and was in need of a new eye doctor. I always enjoyed her bubbly personality and felt very comfortable although it was hard to be a walk-in or make any last minute appointments because she was always so busy. Then one day she was no longer there. A good few years later, I found an old contact card and called it out of curiosity. To my surprise she answered from her personal phone! I made an appointment with her at her new/current location inside Sears at the Sequoia Mall. She accommodated to my schedule and came to her office even though at the time she reduced her hours to focus on her family. I am so glad to have made a connection again. My husband recently decided to have vision correction and she gave him a referral to a great surgeon and informed him of all the information he needed to make his decision. He's been very satisfied with her level of professionalism and knowledge for pre and post surgery follow-up appointments. When she wasn't able to answer a question, she would do her research and got back to us in a timely manner. She's very thorough and spends the time to answers all our questions which might be why wait times can sometimes be long. Who wouldn't want that in a doctor? I'd say most would agree that eyesight would be the last of the five senses one would want to lose so why not choose someone who you can trust and spends quality time with their patients? Overall, we have had only great experiences with Dr. Lee. She's very knowledgeable, connects with her patients on a personal level, accommodating with your schedule and genuinely cares about her patients and concerns on eye health. read more

When I came to see Dr. Lee 5 years ago I had just moved from Eugene, Oregon and needed to find an Optometrist who would be understanding and gentle. Her reassuring mannerism and lighthearted sense of humor quickly put me at ease. She is extremely talented at her craft and completely professional in the way she presents herself while conducting her examinations. It is clear that Dr. Lee genuinely cares about her patients and does not hesitate to go over and beyond what it takes to meet their needs no matter how unique their situation may be. Her services are affordable and she offers discounts for paying with cash (which has been extra helpful being on a strict budget). It takes me 35 minutes to get to her office from where I live but seeing her is well worth the drive. If you are looking for an Optometrist, give her a try, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. I'm so glad to be under her care and look forward to staying with her for years to come. Thanks for being so awesome Dr. Lee! read more

Stopped in while visiting my family last year and wont be doing so again. I had to wait over 30 minutes even though I had an appointment. During the exam we were having trouble getting my prescription right and she basically told me its my fault because I didn't bring in my old prescription and she had to start from scratch. Weird, I've never been told that before and I've worn glasses since I was 5. To top it off one contact was sitting wrong so I had to wait for her to finish with her next appointment so I could get it corrected! Not a fan... some of the staff were helpful though. read more
