Ive personally worked with dr yee and in 15 years ophthalmology experience has given me many different dr to work with and he is hands down one of the smartest, most caring , attentive doctor I had the pleasure of working with. I recommend him still to this day, if you are suffering from dry eye or ulcers. Well anything, and haven't found anyone who can help then dr yee is absolutely the doctor for you. So do yourself a favor and go to see him asap

I was a victim of the after affects of Lasik surgery . Pain in my eyes chronic dry eyes You name it. I thought that life as I knew it was over . I went to numerous doctors the best of the best throughout Houston and out of state . I’ve tried everything . When I went to see Dr. Yee it was a completely different experience I felt like I finally had hoped for the first time . His alternative methods and care and attention made my eyes better again. He tried different approaches , drops and procedures until I was able to finally find relief. Dr yes was a Godsend to me. I strongly recommend him .

Dr. Yee truly cares about patient care and goes above and beyond to make sure he delivers the absolute best. He is a rare find these days not only as a surgeon, teacher and mentor but as one who truly practices medicine for the care and improvement of his patients. Truly one of a kind!!

Dr. Yee did my cataract surgery in 2015. His incision was too large and the Crystalens fell into the eye. I had to have the Crystalens removed (it was attached on one side only) and a new lens inserted. I had to endure months of treatment for retina swelling, blurred vision, and ugly, bleeding in the white of my eye. As soon as it became evident that there was a problem with my surgery, Dr. Yee sent me to a retina specialist and never checked to see how I was doing. To add insult to injury, he made me pay $1500 for the Crystalens. Would NEVER recommend.

Had a great visit with Dr. Yee. He went above and beyond the call of duty and walked me through some personalized eye maintenance to stay healthy. He took the time to make sure he answered all my questions. Highly recommended!

Amazing doctor. Had my Lasek done a few weeks ago and he was amazing. He gave us his cell phone to call if anything came up (nothing did). Highly recommended over the drive thru service mentality at Berkley/Mann etc.

He is very careful and has a great bedside manner. When I had my Lasek procedure done, the next person in line was the grandson of an optomologist. It is a good sign when someone knowledgeable about eyes is sending a family member to him. I am very satisfied with Dr. Yee.

Dr. Yee is great. I got my Laser eye surgery done by him, He left his personal phone number in case I had problems after the surgery. Good thing I never had to use it. If anyone needs laser eye surgery done, I recommend him.
