And unless my memory is failing, his father (Dr. Mitchel Wong) treated my mother's cataracts in the 1980s. I have always been impressed by the state-of-the-art skills and equipment Austin Eye maintains. I'm also impressed that the Wongs have chosen to share their expertise by endowing an eye institute at the University of Texas at Austin. My most recent personal experience with Austin Eye was surgery for lens replacement. While some have derided the facility on Bee Caves Rd as factory-like, I would counter that with the fact that consistent good practices yield consistently good results. I felt well cared for throughout the process, and the results (my excellent recovery and visual acuity) speak for themselves. In the event there had been any problems, I was given Dr. Wong's direct cell number and email. The Austin Eye facility is beautiful, modern, and well-maintained. The same may be said of the older location along Jollyville Rd. I highly recommend Austin Eye for their expertise, state-of-the-art equipment set, and very positive and helpful office staff.

I recommend highly this dedicated, professional, informative and cheerful group of individuals, starting with Hayden, the happy person who set my journey on a joyful course. He provided extensive information while answering every question. Dr. John Odette and the supportive post-op optometrists were exceptional, along with the entire staff who provided a definite feeling of security and peace of mind. Post-op eye drops were sent home with me which saved a trip to the pharmacy, giving caregivers a break. Please don't hesitate to see for yourself just how perfect and pleasant Austin Eye is. (My surgery was bilateral cataract removal with lens replacement, for the record.)

Dr. Martinez and his staff are an excellent example of what is accomplished when someone combines innate talent with hard work and dedication to achieve a highest level of skill and care. They have my utmost gratitude!

    Due to lattice degeneration and severe complications during/post procedures, I have gone to 5…read moreretina specialists in San Francisco (where I lived) and endured 8 procedures with moderate results at best prior to seeing Dr. Harper. Started going to Dr. Harper in September 2005 and have flown back and forth between San Francisco and Austin to continue seeing him due to the exceptional results he has delivered. Dr. Harper has literally saved my vision in both eyes. Not only an expert surgeon, but he is very user friendly (e.g., is patient with your questions, speaks in laypersons' terms and explains issues, procedures and risks to the level you desire and understand). The office staff is professional and amazingly, there is rarely a wait more than a few minutes for my scheduled appointment.

Ten years later I have 20/20 corrected vision in that eye. In 2022 I had a detachment in the other eye and while its still in the process of reattachment, Armie has been helpful and wise at each step along the way. He and the entire staff at Austin Retina are outstanding. I hope you never have to be treated for retinal problems, but if you do I recommend Dr. Harper and ARA w/o hesition.

Young because the doctor I usually see was not available that day. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Young was very disappointing. I had read mixed reviews before, but this was my first firsthand experience with him. Dr. Young refused to treat me, stating that he did not know me and that I should follow up with my regular doctor instead. During the visit, he made comments that I found unprofessional and discouraging, including saying that my eye was "dead" and that no treatment would change that. I have been treated by other retina specialists for the same eye in equal or worse condition, and none of them ever refused care or used language like this. What made the situation more frustrating is that I was still experiencing sharp pain, yet I was advised to wait three months to see my regular doctor instead of receiving any immediate help or guidance. Given the pain I was in and the nature of the comments made, I left feeling dismissed and unsupported. This experience did not meet the level of care or professionalism I expected from a retina specialist.

I compared this place…read morewith several other popular places in Austin but found Dr. Shawn Wong to be my favorite from an online perspective. So, I decided that my first consultation would be at Eyes of Texas. The entire staff is not only friendly but very informative. It was difficult to ask questions because everything was covered from the start. Dr. Wong is clearly extremely passionate and knowledgeable about his work. I immediately knew that he is who I would trust to take care of my eyes. My surgery was yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the process or results so far. I am really looking forward to the end of the healing process. My only regret is not doing this 10 years ago. I highly recommend that if you are considering getting LASIK surgery to visit Eyes of Texas and Dr. Wong. I was shown the operation room and a comment was made that there was a piece of equipment in there that looked like R2D2. I'm now convinced that Dr. Wong is the Yoda of LASIK. Thank you all for taking care of me.

    I called several places in regards to my cataract surgery. I found after talking to Janie (part of…read morethe amazing front staff team) I felt a lot more confident about setting up an appointment. She told me Dr Wong was very good at spending time with his patients. She was right. He explained very thoroughly my options and what he suggested based upon my situation. This gave me confidence in my decision. Surgery was better than expected, mainly because his pre-op person did a great job explaining what to expect and being coached and encouraged by Dr Wong all thru the procedure. It's not easy going thru this but his consistent encouragement makes it 100% better. All the staff are professional, friendly and on it. I've already recommended them to friends. Come see for yourself.

Based solely on Michelle's…read morereview I checked out the training of Dr. Lindsey and found we both attended the same med school. That was enough for me. I scheduled an appointment (I was able to be seen the next day) and the visit went smoothly. The office staff was friendly and efficient, and Dr. Lindsey was delightful. Every good thing Michelle said about Dr. Lindsey was true for me, too. We had a good time chatting about faculty we knew in common. My fears of an eye infection were groundless (my discomfort was most likely due to allergies so she gave me some eyedrops). I had her do a full refraction and eye exam since I was already there. She found my current eyeglass prescription was fine and didn't need to be changed, and that my eyes were perfectly healthy (she said they were likely the healthiest she'd see all day). I'll see her again in a year, and look forward to it. If you need an ophthalmologist who is well-trained in diseases of the eye as well as the normal eyeglass and contact lens fitting, then I recommend Dr. Lindsey. Other physicians who are members of the group practice (The Eye Institute of Austin) appear to be equally stellar in their pedigrees.

She listens well and proposes workable solutions for every little complaint - like loading me up with samples of various eye drops to try with my finicky gas permeable lenses. Her staff is excellent, as well, and for as long as I've been seeing her, she's had the same assistant, the same optometrist, the same contact lens expert - the longevity in this office just says something. Also, she hates waiting at the doctor's office, so she works hard to stay on schedule, which I so appreciate. Doctors who realize that their patients' time is valuable, too, are much too rare. I'd recommend Dr. Lindsey without reservation.
